2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
Kwa ele, ndabha tuye ni huduma eye, na kutya katuipokili rehema, tikata lepi tamaa.
2 Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.
Badala yaki, tubelili njela syoa sya soni na sasijifighili. Tuishi lepi kwa hila, na tukalitumila lepi vibaya lilobhi la K'yara. Kwa kulifikisya laliyele la ukueli, tukajilasya tayhoto kwa zamila ya kila munu palongolo pa K'yara.
3 If, however, the meaning of our Good News has been veiled, the veil has been on the hearts of those who are on the way to perdition,
Lakini kutya injili ya yhoto ijisighili kwa bhala tu bhabhiangamila.
4 in whom the god of this present age has blinded their unbelieving minds so as to shut out the sunshine of the Good News of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Kup'etela kuchagula kwa bhene, K'yara wa ulimwengu obho abhapofuili uyelebhwa wa bhene wa ubekili kuamini. Matokeo ghaki, bhibhuesya lepi kubhona nulu ya injili ya utukufu wa Kristu, yaayele ndo mfuano wa K'yara. (aiōn g165)
5 (For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
Kwa ndabha tukakitangasya lepi tayhoto, bali kristu Yesu kutya Bwana, ni tete kabhele kutya bhutumishi bha yhomo kup'etela Yesu.
6 For God who said, "Out of darkness let light shine," is He who has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory, which is radiant on the face of Christ.
Kwa ndabha muendo ndo aghajobhilo, “muenga alalangasya ku kitita.” Alangese kuhomela mu miteema yhitu, kupisya muanga wa maarifa wa utukufu wa K'yara kup'etela uwepo wa Yesu Kristu.
7 But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not to originate in us.
Lakini tuye ni hazina ya ele kup'etela fhenu fya undongo, ili ndabha iyelewekai kwa nghofo ibhaa ya K'yara nasoyatete.
8 We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
Titaabika kup'etela kila hali, tisongibhwa lepi tibhona mashaka ila tijasi bhwa lepi ni kukata tamaa.
9 pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
Titesibhwa ila tutetekisibhu hee. Titaghibhwa pasi lakini tiangamisibhwa hee.
10 always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.
Magono ghoa tip'enda mibhele ya yhoto kifo kya Yesu, yakuwa usima wa Yesu ubhonekanai kabhele mu mibhele ya yhoto.
11 For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.
Tete yatuyele hai magono ghoa tupisibhu kufua kwajia ya Yesu, yakuwa uhai wa Yesu ubhonekanai mu mibhele ya yhoto kibinadamu.
12 Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
Kwa ndabha eye, kifo kibhomba mbhombho mugati mwa yhoto, bali ni usima wibhombha mbhombho mugati mwa yhomo.
13 But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, "I believed, and therefore I have spoken," we also believe, and therefore we speak.
Ila tuyele ni roho yelayela ya imani kulengana ni khela ka kiyandikibhu: “Naamini, nikabhele nanenili.” Tete kabhele tiamini, ni kabhele linena.
14 For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.
Timanyili kabhele yhola ya afufuili Bwana Yesu kabhele alatufufula tete pamonga ni muene. Tumanyili ya kuwa alatuleta tete pamonga ni muenga kup'etela ubhuepo bhuake.
15 For everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.
Kila khenu ni kwa jia ya yhomo ili ndabha, kadili ya neema kayizidi kuenela kwa bhanu bhingi, shukrani sizidiayi kuyongeseka kwa utukufu wa K'yara.
16 Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.
Efu tikata lepi tamaa. Japokuwa kwa kwibhala tuyenikichaka, kwa mugati tiketibhua upya magono hadi magono.
17 For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Kwa kipindi kifupi eke, mateso agha malaini ghakatuyandala tete kwa jia ya umilele ubhaa wa utukufu wa uzidili fipemu fyoa. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa ndabha tilangalepi kwajia ya fhenu fya fibhonekana, bali kwajia ya fhenu fya fibela kubhonekana. Fhenu fafibhuesya kubhonekana ni fya muda tu, bali fhenu fafibela kubhonekana ndo fya milele. (aiōnios g166)
