2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
Uli, tukutanda sooni kulilapa twachinsyene? Pane tukusaka chikalata cha kutumanyisya kukwenu pane chikalata kutyochela kukwenu kutumanyisya uwe mpela ŵandu ŵane yakuti pakupanganya?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men:
Ŵanyamwe nli chikalata chetu, chikalata chachilembekwe mmitima jetu chikumanyika ni kusyomekwa ni jwalijose.
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tables of stone, but on fleshly tables of the heart.
Isyene kuti ŵanyamwe nli chikalata chachilembekwe ni Kilisito, chachikulosya isogosi ya masengo getu pasikati jenu. Chele chikalata cho nganichilembekwa ni wino, nambo kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵajumi ni nganichilembekwa pachanya chipande cha liganga chachisepekwe nambo mmitima ja ŵandu.
4 And such trust we have through Christ toward God:
Tukukombola kusala yeleyo pangali woga kwaligongo lya chikulupi chatulinacho paujo pa Akunnungu kwa aila yatesile Kilisito.
5 Not that we are sufficient by ourselves to think any thing as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
Ngaŵa kuti uweji tukukombola kuchipanganya chachili chose mu ukombole wetu twachinsyene nambo ukombole wetu ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Nombewo ni ŵakututenda uwe tukombole kulitumichila Lilangano lya Sambano, ni ngaŵa lilangano lya malajisyo gagalembekwe, nambo kwa lilangano lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu. Pakuŵa malajisyo gagalembekwe gakwikanawo chiwa, nambo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akwikanawo umi.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
Malajisyo gagalembekwe mu ipande ya maganga gagasepekwe, ni ukulu wa Akunnungu wakopochele pajatyosyekwe. Namuno ukulu wa ku meeso ku Che Musa waliji wa katema pe, waliji ni machili gati Ŵaisilaeli nganakombola kukulolechesya ku meeso ku Che Musa ligongo lya kung'alima kwakwe. Iŵaga malajisyo gagakwikanawo chiwa pagakupanganya masengo gaiche ni ukulu wo,
8 How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious?
uli ana utumichile wa Mbumu ngaupunda kuŵa ni ukulu wakupunda nnope?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation was glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Iŵaga kwaliji ni ukulu mu aula utumichile uwaichenawo ulamusi, isyene utumichile waukwatenda ŵandu aŵe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chiupunde kukola ukulu nnope.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
Kwapele, achila chichaliji ni ukulu kalakala chisoyesye ukulu wakwe, pakuŵa chiiche chachili ni ukulu nnope.
11 For if that which was done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Pakuŵa, iŵaga achila chichaliji cha kupita chaliji ni ukulu nipele achila chakulama chichikole ni ukulu wakupunda nnope.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Nipele pakuŵa tukwete chilolelo chati nyi tukuŵecheta pangali lipamba.
13 And not as Moses, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
Uweji ngatukutenda mpela Che Musa juŵaunichile ku meeso kwao ni chiguo cha mwana kuti Ŵaisilaeli akakulola kumbesi kwa kung'alima kwakukusisina.
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day the same veil remaineth untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
Nambo nganisyo syao syalepele kumanyilila, pakuŵa mpaka lelo jino, palikusyomekwa lilangano lya kalakala chitambaa cho chipali, chiunichile nganisyo syao. Chitambaa cho chichityochekwe apala pe mundu pakulumbikana ni Kilisito.
15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
Nambo mpaka lelo jino pagakusyomekwa malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele Che Musa chitambaa cho chikuunichila nganisyo syao.
16 Nevertheless when one shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Nambo chitambaa cho chikutyochekwa apala pe mundu pachiŵagalauchile Ambuje Che Yesu.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Nipele, Ambuje ali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ni paali Mbumu jwa Ambuje pelepo pali ni kulechelelwa.
18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Nipele noweji wose ŵanganituunichilwa ku meeso kwetu, tukuulosya ukulu wa Ambuje mpela kung'alima kwakukutyochela mu lindala. Noweji tukugalauswa tulandane nawo kutyochela mu ukulu kwaula mu ukulu wine mpela ukulu waukutyochela kwa Ambuje, ŵaali Mbumu jwa Ambuje.
