2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we to begin again, ourselves, to commend? or have we need, like some, of commendatory letters unto you, or from you?
Mwie, twandile tandile awiawidhuvhe tubhene? Hatuwaza kalata yachagulanye hulimwi amalwafume huli limwi khashele awadhuu, ishitu tuwanza?
2 Our letter, ye, are, inscribed in our hearts, noted and read by all men:
Amwe mwi mwe mlikalata yitu gachagulanye, gosi mbiha na manyilwe nawadhuawadhu waudhi.
3 Manifesting yourselves that ye are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, —inscribed—not with ink, but with [the] Spirit of a Living God, not in tablets of stone, but in tablets [which are] hearts of flesh.
Namubhoneha aje amwemlikalata afume wa Kristi. Iyafumiziwe nadhi, sangasihwa nakhono amanuwino ama uhala wa Ngulubhi umwumi hagaisibwa wiwimbao zi mawe. Ama moyo gabhanadamu.
4 But, such confidence as this, have we, through the Christ, towards God.
Ubhu udadamazu watulinao mwa Ngulubhi ubhu ajende ashizanye wa mwana usu Kristi.
5 Not that, of our own selves, sufficient, are we, to reckon anything as of ourselves, but, our sufficiency, is of God; —
Angahatuyani twithe awisye hahuthi au hahafuma hulithi amanagakwe awi yamiwitu hufuma wa Ngulubhi.
6 Who also hath made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant—not of letter, but of spirit, for, the letter, killeth, whereas, the Spirit, maketh alive.
Yu Ngulubhi watubhomba hunje tuwezye huuja awe tuatumwa vhindajizyo ipha izi ndajizyo saga kalata ilazya hala umwenye kalata ibhunda lelo uhala aleta uumii.
7 But, if, the ministry of death, in letters engraven in stones, was brought into existence with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadfastly into the face of Moses, by reason of the glory of his face—which [glory] was to be done away,
Ishi imbombo yifwe iyihali ipuzwa mmasimbo mwanya mmawe ihenza manyishiheza manyi manyi shisisya bha mu Israeli sahenya lwuthi lwuthihata maso wa Mose. Phipo yisisya wimaso gakwe, usishwa bhulafi filanga.
8 How shall not, rather, the ministry of the Spirit, be with glory?
Ishi imbombo yahala saga ihabha nu mwamu sana katika usisya?
9 For, if, the ministry of condemnation was glory, much rather, doth the ministry of righteousness abound with glory,
Lwali lelo hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine ahadodo!
10 For that which hath been made glorious, hath not even been made glorious, in this respect, —by reason of the surpassing glory.
Khamba hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine, ahadodo!
11 For, if that which was to be done away [was brought in] with glory, much more, that which is to abide, is in glory.
Khamba hala haha winza hagosi hashila hali nubhusishwa uwaubhuza wabhushe la wawa hali uwahweza khashele wilawila sha nushishwai.
12 Having, then, such hope as this, great openness of speech, do we use; —
Khatu hwitiha esho, tunighuvhu sana.
13 And are not just like Moses, [who] kept putting a veil upon his face, so that the sons of Israel should not look steadily unto the end of that which was to be done away.
Sagatuli ni Mose, ubha uje tubhanje waze wila na wila pamaso gakwe, huje abhadhu muIsraeli bhasiwe lwudti uwa humalishila hu thithya bhulawahepanga.
14 But their thoughts were turned into stone: for, until this very day, the same veil, upon the reading of the old covenant, abideth, not to be removed, because, in Christ, it is to be done away;
Lelo thibho zyabho zhapi nyibwe. pakaisiku lwawaze bhubhula bhusagalashila isha manyile ulufingano lwihali. Shabhi bhiwilwe shilwe wazi, pipho uKristi mwene iwefewa hutali.
15 But, until this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil upon their heart, doth lie;
Lakini hata thanyunu lwa lwunthi uMose sha manyilwa, lwawawazhe lukhala amwanya moyo gao.
16 Howbeit, whensoever he turneth unto [the] Lord, he taketh off the veil:
Lelo umnthu pagoluhana wa Bwana, ulwa wanze lufewa.
17 And, the Lord, is, the Spirit: now, where the Spirit of one who is Lord [is, there is] freedom!
Eeshi Bwana uhala. Apa pa linu hala wa Bwana, hubha nuwaushe.
18 And, we all, with unveiled face, receiving and reflecting, the glory of [the] Lord, into the same image, are being transformed, from glory into glory, —even as from a Spirit that is Lord.
Eshi anthi nthi tubhepa palishimo na maso gasawanza ulwauweze tuula unthithwa uBwana. Tuwadhuhana mhathi shila shitukufu afume ubhutukufu afume engiga emo utukufu wa Bwana ya mwao, nashi shashishi afume Bwana, amashi pa Roho.
