2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore having received this ministry, as we have obtained mercy, we are not disheartened:
Lesa munkumbo shakendi latupa ncito, neco nkatwela kubwela munyuma sobwe.
2 but have rejected shameful disguises, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, recommending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.
Nomba tulakana kwinsa bintu bikute kuleta nsoni bikute kwinshika kwakutabonako muntu naumbi, kayi nkatulabepenga nambi kupindimuna maswi a Lesa, tukute kwamba cakubinga pa menso a Lesa kwambeti muntu uliyense abe wasunguluka ku moyo kutuboneti twashomeka.
3 And if our gospel also be veiled, it is to those that perish;
Nambi mulumbe wetu wafwekelelwa, wafwekelelwa kubantu bafwa ku mushimu.
4 among whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, doth not shine unto them: (aiōn g165)
Satana lesa lendeleshenga cishi capanshi washipisha manjeyaulwa abantu babula lushomo kwambeti kabatabona mumuni wa mulumbe wa bulemu wa Klisttu, uyo ukute cimo ca Lesa. (aiōn g165)
5 for we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for the sake of Jesus.
Nkatula kambaukunga tobene, nsombi makani alambanga sha Klistu Yesu kwambeti eMwami wetu, afwe tobasebenshi benu cebo ca Klistu.
6 For God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, hath shined into our hearts, to reflect the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Lesa ewalambeti, “mumuni kaumunikila mu mushinshe” Ni Lesa umo umo lalengeshenga kwambeti mumuni umunikile mu myoyo yetu, kwambeti twinshibe bulemu bwakendi ubo bulamunikinga pa menso a Klistu.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power might be evidently of God, and not of us:
Nomba afwe tulyeti nongo umo mwabikwa bubile, kulesha kwambeti ngofu nshotukute ntesho shetu tobene nsombi shilafumunga kuli Lesa.
8 being afflicted on every side, but not oppressed; perplexed, but not in despair;
Tukute kupenshewa munshila shingi, nomba nkatukute kukomwa, tukute kupwilwa mano nomba nkatukute kutyompwa.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken;
Tukute balwani bangi nsombi Lesa nkela kutushiya twenka. Nambi batufwantaula nsombi nkabela kutushina sobwe.
10 cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body.
Cindi conse lufu lwa Yesu tukute kwenda nalo mumibili yetu, kwambeti nabo buyumi bwakendi bubonekele mu mibili yetu.
11 For we, who are yet living, are always exposed to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
Pakwinga afwe tobayumi tukute kubwelela pepi ne cilindi cebo ca Klistu, kwambeti buyumi bwetu bubonekele mu mibili yetu iyi ikute kufwa.
12 So that death is wrought in us, but life in you.
Neco afwe tulasumini kutingana ne lufu, kwambeti amwe mukacane buyumi.
13 But having the same Spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed, and therefore have I spoken," we also believe, and therefore speak:
Mabala a Lesa kwambeti, “Ndalamba pakwinga ndalashoma, kupitila mumushimu umo umo walushomo twalamba pakwinga twalashoma.”
14 knowing that He, who raised up the Lord Jesus, will raise up us also by Jesus, and present us with you.
Pakwinshiba kwambeti Lesa walamupundusha Yesu kubafu, anu ne njafwe nakatupundushe mbuli ncalamupundusha Mwami Yesu, ne kututwala afwe pamo nenjamwe kulyendiye pakwinga twekatana nendi.
15 For all these things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the gratitude of many redound to the glory of God.
Conseci cilenshikinga cebo canjamwe. Cilenshikinga kwambeti nkumbo sha Lesa shishike kubantu bangi. Neco bantu bangi nibakalumbaishe Lesa. Ici nicikalete bulemu bwingi kuli Lesa.
16 For which cause we are not disheartened: but though our outward man decayeth, yet the inward man is renewed daily.
“Neco nkatukute kutyompwa, nikukabeti mibili yetu ilabolonga cindi conse, muntu wamukati nendi latambulunga ngofu busuba ne busuba.
