2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, we are not weary in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that have been upon us:
Linu, mukuti twina ili ikolo, ni sina mutu va tambwiri chisemo, katuzwafi.
2 But we have renounced the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, we exhibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God.
Ni hakwina vulyo, tuve zivahazi inzila ziswavisisa ni zili wungwile. Katuhali cha ku chengelela, tuwonda inzwi lye Ireeza hande. Chaku zimanina initi, tulileta havusu bwa zumwi ni zumwi cha kuya che zwalo lyakwe mu menso e Ireeza.
3 And if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed to them that perish;
Haiva i evangeli yetu i umbitwe, i umbitwe feela kwabo basinyeha.
4 to them whose minds the God of this world hath blinded, in order that they might not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah (who is the likeness of God) should dawn upon them. (aiōn g165)
Imi kuvali, mulimu we inu inkanda ava hofuhazi kusa zumina kwa mihupulo yavo. Chelo ivaka, kava woli kuvona mumuni wa linzwi we kanya ya Kresite, iye chiswaniso che Ireeza. (aiōn g165)
5 For it is not ourselves that we preach, but the Messiah, Jesus our Lord; and, as to ourselves, that we are your servants for Jesus' sake.
Katuli zivahazi iswe tuvene, kono Kresite Jesu neli Simwine, mi iswe tuvahikana venu kuchitila Jesu.
6 Because God, who commanded the light to arise from darkness, hath himself shined in our hearts, that we might be illuminated with the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus the Messiah.
Mukuti Ireeza nja va wambi kuti, “mumuni kauvenye mwi fifi.” Ava veñyisi mwi inkulo zetu, kuha iseri lyo kwiziva ikanya ye Ireeza mukuva kwa Jesu Kresite.
7 But we have this treasure in an earthen vessel, that the excellency of the power might be from God, and not from us.
Kono twina ichi chifumu tuhamwe twe rongo, nji kuta kuti ziho zonse kuhitiliza njiza Ireza mi isinyi zetu.
8 And in every thing we are oppressed, but not suffocated; we are corrected, but not condemned;
Tuwina muvukavo mwinkalulo zonse, kono katu pwachuki, katwizi cha ku panga kono katwizuli kuswava.
9 we are persecuted, but not forsaken; we are prostrated, but perish not.
Tunyandiswa kono katukanwa. Tu wisikizwa hansi kono katusinyehi.
10 For we bear in our body, at all times, the dying of Jesus; that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body.
Tuhindite ifu lya Jesu mu mi viri yetu inako yonse, jo kuti vuhalo bwa Jesu vuvoneke mumivili yetu.
11 For if we are delivered over alive unto death, for Jesus' sake, even so also will the life of Jesus be manifested in this our mortal body.
Iswe tuhala tuhindite mumivili yetu inako yonse ifu lya Jesu, njokuti vuhalo bwa Jesu vuvoniswe mumivili yetu ya vuntu.
12 Now therefore, in us death is active, but in you, life.
Njokuti ifu likwete kuveleka mwetu, kono vuhalo vukwete kuveleka mwenu.
13 Having therefore the same spirit of faith, (as it is written, I believed, therefore also have I spoken, ) we also believe, and therefore speak;
Kono twina luhulo luswana lwe ntumelo kakuya ka chiva ñoletwe: “Niva zumini, mi linu niva wambi.” Naswe tuzumina mi hape tuwamba.
14 knowing that he, who resuscitated our Lord Jesus, will also resuscitate us by Jesus, and will receive us, with you, to himself.
Twizi kuti iyemwine yava vusi simwene Jesu, katu vuse naswe ni Jesu. Twizi kuti kaatu hinde nanwe kuya mwena iye.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that while grace aboundeth by means of many, thanksgiving may abound to the glory of God.
Zintu zonse zichitilwe inwe kuchila kuti, sina chisemo hachi hasene kuvantu vangi. Kutambika vuitumelo kwi njihe kwi kanya ya Ireeza.
16 For this cause we faint not; for though our outward man perish, yet the inner man is renovated day by day.
Linu katuzwafi. Nihakuva vulyo, hanze tukwete ku sinyeha, mukati tukwete kuvumbwa chihya izuva ni zuva.
