2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
Wu, titumbula kavili kujilumbalila tavete? Wu, tigana balua ya kutimanyisa, kuhuma kwinu amala kwitu ngati chevavili vandu vangi?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Mwavene nyenye ndi balua yitu yeyiyandikiwi mumitima yitu, kila mundu yimanyikana na yisomwa na vandu voha.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Chakaka kuvya nyenye ndi balua ya Kilisitu yeyihuma mulihengu litu pagati yinu. Balua yene yiyandikwi lepi, nambu kwa Mpungu Msopi wa Chapanga mweavi mumi, iyandikiwi lepi panani ya chipandi cha liganga chechihongoliwi nambu ayandiki mumitima ya vandu.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ towards God,
Tihotola kujova kwa ukekesi chenicho ndava ya huvalila kwa Chapanga ndava ya gala geagahengili Kilisitu.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Lepi kuvya tavete tihotola kukita chochoha kwa makakala gitu vene, nambu uhotola witu woha wihuma kwa Chapanga,
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Ndava muni Chapanga ndi mwatihotwisi kuvya vanalihengu va lilaganu la mupya, lelivii lepi la Lilaganu leliletiwi na malagizu gegayandikwi, nambu lilaganu la Mpungu Msopi. Muni malagizu gegayandikwi gileta lifwa, nambu Mpungu wa Chapanga wumi.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
Malagizu gayandikiwi panani ya hipandi ya maganga vyevihongoliwi. Pamonga na kujova mwishu waki ulongosa mulifwa, ukulu waki wavili ukulu neju hati vandu va Isilaeli nakuhotola kuulola pamihu pa Musa ndava ya kung'asima kwaki. Kavili kung'asima kula kwavili mulukumbi ndu. Hinu malagizu gegaletili lifwa yavi na ukulu neju,
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
wu uhengaji wa Mpungu Msopi yati uvya na ukulu neju?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Yikavya mahengu gegileta uhamula gana ukulu ngati wenuwo, ndi hotohoto lihengu lelileta mambu gakumganisa Chapanga, yati givya na ukulu uvaha neju.
10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Chakaka chila chechavili na ukulu kadeni pala chiyagisi ukulu waki ndava ya ukulu uvaha neju wewabwelili hinu.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Muni chila chechavi palukumbi luhupi chavi na ukulu waki, chakaka chila chechisigalila magono goha yati chivya na ukulu uvaha neju.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Ndava muni tivii na huvalila yitu tete tijova kwa ukekesi uvaha.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Tete tikita lepi ngati Musa ndi agubiki pamihu paki na chitambala muni vandu va ku Isilaeli vakotoka kulola mwishu wa kung'asima kula kwekwajimika.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
Nambu luhala lwavi lwagubikwi. Mbaka lelu pamwisoma Lilaganu la kadeni, chigubiku chila chivili balapala. Chigubiku chenicho yati chiwusiwa ndu mundu mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Nambu, hati lelu iyi peyisomewa malagizu ga BAMBU geampeli Musa luhala lwavi lugubikwi na chitambala.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Nambu, lukumbi mundu peakumuwuyila BAMBU Yesu, chigubiku chenicho chiwusiwa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Hinu “BAMBU” Ndi Mpungu Msopi, na popoha peavili Mpungu wa BAMBU ndi pepavi kulekekeswa.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Hinu, tete tavoha pamihu pitu pangagubikwa, tikuulangisa ukulu wa BAMBU ngati chilolilo, tibadilishwa tiwanangana neju na luhumu lwaki muukulu wamahele neju. Lenilo ndi lihengu la Mpungu wa BAMBU.
