2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again ourselves to commend? (Or *N(k)O*) surely not we need like some commendatory letters to you or from you (commendatory [letters]? *k*)
Je, tutumbwile kuisifia bene kae? Tuhitaji kwaa barua ya mapendekezo kwinu au boka kwinu, kati baadhi ya bandu, je twahitaji?
2 The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,
Mwenga mwabene ni barua yitu ya mapendekezo, yaiandikilwe mu'mioyo yitu, yaiyowanika na kusomwa na bandu bote.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ having been ministered to by us inscribed not in ink but with [the] Spirit of God [the] living, not on tablets of stone but on tablets (of hearts *N(K)O*) human.
Na mwaonesha panga mwenga ni barua boka kwa Kristo, yaitolewa ni twenga, iandikilwe na wino kwaa ila kwa Roho wa Nnongo ywabile nkoto. Iandikilwe kwaa nnani ya vibao ya maliwe, ila nnani ya vibao vya mioyo ya bandu.
4 Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;
Na wolo nga ujasiri tubile nao katika Nnongo pitya Kristo.
5 Not for from ourselves sufficient we are to reckon anything as of (ourselves, *NK(O)*) but the sufficiency of us [is] of God,
Twajiamini kwaa wabene kwa kudai chochote kati boka kwitu. Badala yake, kujiamini kwitu kwaboka kwa Nnongo.
6 who also has made competent us [as] ministers of a new covenant, not of [the] letter but of [the] Spirit; the for letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Ni Nnongo ywabile atupangite tuweze pangika atumishi wa liagano lyayambe. Ayee nga liagano labile kwaa lya barua ila ni lya Roho. Kwa kuwa barua ubulaga, lakini roho yatoa ukoto.
7 If now the ministry of death in (letters *NK(o)*) engraved (in *k*) stones was produced in glory, so as for not to be able to look intently the sons of Israel into the face of Moses on account of the glory of the face of him which is fading,
Nambeambe kazi ya kiwo itichongwa katika herufi nnani ya maliwe iisile kwa namna ya utukufu panga bandu ba Israeli balilinga kwaa bene ila pitya minyo ga Musa. Ayee nga sababu ya utukufu wa minyo gake, utukufu ambao wabile wafifia.
8 how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
Je, kazi ya Roho ilowa kuwa kwaa na utukufu muno?
9 If for (to the *N(k)O*) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k*) glory!
Kwa kuwa kati huduma ya hukumu ibile na utukufu, ni mara ilenga zaidi huduma ya haki huzidi muno katika utukufu!
10 Even for (not *N(k)O*) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
Ni kweli panga, chelo chakipangilwe utukufu kwanza kibile kwaa utkufu kae katika heshima yee, kwa sababu ya utukufu wanansima.
11 If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
Kwa kuwa kati chelo ambacho chabile chapeta chabile ni utukufu, ni kwa kiasi gani muno chelo ambacho ni chakudumu kibile na utukufu!
12 Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
Kwa kuwa twajiamini eyo, tubile ni ujasiri muno.
13 and not as Moses was putting a veil over the face (of himself *N(k)O*) for not to look intently the sons of Israel into the end of that fading away;
Tubile kwaa kati Musa, ywabekite utaji nnani ya uso bake, ili panga bandu ba Israeli baweze kwaa lola moja kwa moja mu'mwisho wa utukufu ambao ubile watiboka.
14 But were hardened the minds of them. Until for the present (day *no*) the same veil at the reading of the old covenant remains not being lifted, (for *N(k)O*) in Christ is being removed,
Lakini malango gabe gatabilwe. Hata mpaka lisoba lee utaji wowolo bado ulekilwe nnani ya usomaji wa liagani lya kale. Ibekilwe kwaa wazi, kwa sababu ni katika Kristo kichake iondolewa kutalu.
15 But unto this day when (ever *no*) (may be read *N(k)O*) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
Lakini hata leno, wakati wowote Musa asomwapo, utaji utama nnani ya mioyo yabe.
16 When however (ever *N(k)O*) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
Lakini mundu paakeleka kwa Ngwana, utaji ulowa boka.
17 The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k*) [is] freedom.
Nambeambe Ngwana ni Roho. Pabile ni Roho wa Ngwana, kubile ni uhuru.
18 We ourselves now all unveiled in face the glory of [the] Lord beholding as in a mirror, the same image are being transformed into from glory to glory even as from [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
Nambeambe twenga twabote, pamope ni minyo zibile kwaa bekewa utaji, ubona utukufu wa Ngwana. Twabadilishwa nkati ya muonekano wowolo wa utukufu boka shahada jimo ya utukufu yenda yenge, kati yaibile kwa Ngwana, ambaye ni Roho.
