2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation unto you, or 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 our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Ŵanyamwe nli chikalata chetu, chikalata chachilembekwe mmitima jetu chikumanyika ni kusyomekwa ni jwalijose.
3 manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets 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 the 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 of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
Ngaŵa kuti uweji tukukombola kuchipanganya chachili chose mu ukombole wetu twachinsyene nambo ukombole wetu ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
6 who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
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 and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face — which was being made useless,
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 the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
uli ana utumichile wa Mbumu ngaupunda kuŵa ni ukulu wakupunda nnope?
9 for if the ministration of the condemnation [is] glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound 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 also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious — in this respect, because of the superior glory;
Kwapele, achila chichaliji ni ukulu kalakala chisoyesye ukulu wakwe, pakuŵa chiiche chachili ni ukulu nnope.
11 for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.
Pakuŵa, iŵaga achila chichaliji cha kupita chaliji ni ukulu nipele achila chakulama chichikole ni ukulu wakupunda nnope.
12 Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,
Nipele pakuŵa tukwete chilolelo chati nyi tukuŵecheta pangali lipamba.
13 and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,
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 hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn — which in Christ is being made useless —
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 till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie,
Nambo mpaka lelo jino pagakusyomekwa malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele Che Musa chitambaa cho chikuunichila nganisyo syao.
16 and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.
Nambo chitambaa cho chikutyochekwa apala pe mundu pachiŵagalauchile Ambuje Che Yesu.
17 And the Lord is the 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 and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, 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.
