2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, because we have this ministry, and just as we have received mercy, we do not become discouraged.
Nipele kwa chanasa cha Akunnungu atupele masengo ga, kwaligongo lyo ngatukupwa ntima.
2 Instead, we have rejected secret and shameful ways. We do not live by craftiness, and we do not mishandle the word of God. By presenting the truth, we recommend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
Tuilesile indu yose ya mitemela ni ya soni, ngatukunlambusya mundu jwalijose namuno kulilyungasya liloŵe lya Akunnungu, nambo kwakusala usyene pelanga chikwatende ŵandu amanyilile mmitima jao yatutite kuŵa paujo pa Akunnungu.
3 But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.
Nambo iwaga Ngani Jambone jitukujilalichila uwe jiunichikwe, jele jiunichikwe kwa ŵandu ŵakonasika pe.
4 In their case, the god of this world has blinded their unbelieving minds. As a result, they are not able to see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Ni ŵelewo ngakukulupilila pakuŵa nganisyo syao syetaje chipi ni achisoka, ŵaali nnungu ŵa pachilambo pano, kuti akakombola kuliwona lilanguka lya Ngani Jambone ja ukulu wa Kilisito, ŵaali chisau ni Akunnungu yatite kuŵa. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
Pakuŵa ngatukulalichila ngani syetu twachinsyene nambo tukunlalichila Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaali Ambuje, noweji tuli achikapolo ŵenu kwaligongo li Che Yesu Kilisito.
6 For God is the one who said, “Light will shine out of darkness.” He has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Akunnungu ŵalaŵala uŵasasile kuti, “Lilanguka lilanguchisye mu chipi,” ŵawowo ni ŵalanguchisye mitima jetu, atupele lilanguka lya umanyilisi wa ukulu wa Akunnungu waukung'alima ku meeso kwa Kilisito.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, so that it is clear that the exceedingly great power belongs to God and not to us.
Nambo uwe ŵatukwete mbiko ji tuli mpela yombo ya litaka yaiŵichikwe indu ya mmbumu nkati mwakwe, pakuti gawoneche machili gamakulungwa go, gakutyochela kwa Akunnungu ngaŵa kutyochela kukwetu twachinsyene.
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not overwhelmed. We are perplexed but not filled with despair.
Uweji tukupata masausyo gakupisyangana nambo ngatukulepela. Tukukola lipamba nambo ngatukupwa mitima.
9 We are persecuted but not forsaken. We are struck down but not destroyed.
Tukulagaswa nambo ngatukulekwa pangali ukamuchisyo. Namuno tugwisiswe nambo ngatukujonasika.
10 We always carry in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be shown in our bodies.
Moŵa gose tukwenda ni chiwa chi Che Yesu pa iilu yetu, kuti umi u Che Yesu uwoneche iyoyo mu iilu yetu.
11 We who are alive are always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be shown in our body.
Pakuŵa uweji ŵatuli ŵajumi tukuulajikwa moŵa gose kwaligongo lyakwatumichila Che Yesu, kuti umi wao uwoneche mu iilu yetu yaikuwa.
12 So death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Kwapele uwe tuli chile namose kuwa kwaligongo lyakunlalichila ŵanyamwe kuti ŵanyamwe mpate umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
13 But we have the same spirit of faith according to that which was written: “I believed, and so I spoke.” We also believe, and so we also speak,
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Nakulupilile ni kwa ligongo lyo naŵechete.” Uwe nowe tukwete ntima uwowo wa chikulupi, tukukulupilila kwayele tukuŵecheta,
14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
pakuŵa tukuimanyilila kwaisyene kuti Akunnungu ni uŵansyusisye Ambuje Che Yesu, chatususye noweji pamo ni Ambuje Che Yesu ni kutuŵika paujo pao pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
15 Everything is for your sake so that, as grace is spread to many people, thanksgiving may increase to the glory of God.
Yele yose itendekwe kwa liwamba lyenu kuti ntuuka wa Akunnungu paukwaichilila ŵandu achajinji, chiŵatende ŵatogolele kwannope Akunnungu, ni kwakusya Akunnungu.
16 So we do not become discouraged. Even though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
Kwapele ngatukupwa mitima, namuno iilu yetu ikuwisala nambo mbumu syetu munkati mwetu sikutendekwa syasambano moŵa gose.
17 For this momentary, light affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory that exceeds all measurement. (aiōnios g166)
Kulaga kwetu kuli kwamwana sooni kuli kwa katema kakajipi nambo kukutupa ukulu waukupunda nnope, ukulu wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wauli wambone kupunda kulaga kwatuli nako. (aiōnios g166)
18 For we are not watching for things that are seen, but for things that are unseen. The things that we can see are temporary, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Tukailolela yaikuwoneka nambo tuilolele yangaikuwoneka. Pakuŵa aila yaikuwoneka ili ya katema kakajipi nambo yangaikuwoneka ili ya moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
