2 Korintho 4
1 Kuitegwa, kunsoko kukete witumi uwa, hange anga uu nikusingiiye uukende, shanga kuusuke ekenyuma.
So then, as I have this ministry because of God’s mercy to me, I do not lose heart.
2 Kuleka ite, kuihilile inzila yehi niaminyala nizi neyipihile. Singakikie kuwelu, hange singa kulitumela niibe ulukani lang'wi Tunda.
I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man’s conscience as in the sight of God.
3 Kuile angwi uutananti witu wipihile, wipihile kuawa nialimie udu.
But even if my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."
4 Kuusaguli wao nuao, itunda nuaunkumbigulu uwu uapokuuye uulengi wao neshaukuie. Uwigeeli wakwe, shanga akuone uwelu wautananti nua ukulu wang'wa Kilisto, nekilingasiilyo kang'wi Tunda. (aiōn g165)
Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon them. (aiōn g165)
5 Kunsoko singa kiutanantya use, inge Kilisto Yesu anga Mukulu, nusese anga keitumi anyu kunsoko ang'wa Yesu.
It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus’ sake.
6 Kunsoko Itunda ng'wenso nae ulungile, “Uwetu ukumileka kupuma mukili.” Wamileka munkolo yitu, kupuma muwelu nuamahala naukulu nuang'wi Tunda kuumole nuang'we Yesu Kilisto.
For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of Christ.
7 Kuite kukete wiekeli suu muiseme yaulolo, nsoko kena ilengike kena engulu nenkulu kukela inge nang'wi Tunda hange singa itu.
But I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.
8 Kuaga mukala ehi, kuite shakulemigwa. Kuona uaeli kuite shakizuwe nukumala insula.
On every side I am hard pressed, yet not hemmed in; perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Kuagigwa kuite shakulekilwe. Kuugung'wa pihe kuite shanga akulimansiilya.
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
10 Mahiku ehi kunkenkile mumuile witu ensha ang'wa Yesu, nsoko kena uupanga wang'wa Yesu wigelegwa mumeili itu.
Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.
11 Usese nekiapanga mahiku ehi kupumigwe kusha kunsoko ang'wa Yesu, nsoko kina uupanga wang'wa Yesu wigele mumeile itu nakeuntu.
For, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.
12 Kunsoko eye, ensha ekituma umulemo nutaitu, inge upanga ukituma umulemo mitalanyu.
So while death is working in me, life is working in you.
13 Kuite kukete inkolo yeyoyeeyo nauhueli anga kiki nekiandekilwe. Aenikuie, kuite nekalunga. “Nusese gwa kukwie nukuite gwa kuulunga.
But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I speak.
14 Kulengile hena uyu naumuiue uMukulu u Yesu ukuiulagwa usese palung'wi nunyee kuukole wakwe.
For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence.
15 Kela kentu nsoko anyu nsoko kena, kuukende nuulongolekile kigela kuantu needuu, isongeelyo longeeleke kuukulu nuang'wi Tunda.
For everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow to the glory of God.
16 Ite shanga kuusuke ekenyuma. Ataeze kunzi kuubepa, mukali kuutendwa upya luhiku sunga uluhiku.
For this reason, as I have said, I do not lose courage, but even though my outward man is wasting away, my inward man is being renewed, day by day.
17 Kuugeng'wi uwu nuukupe, ulwago ulu lupepeele lukuunoneelya usese kunsoko aukale nuulito nuankulu nuukeile ugemeeli wehi. (aiōnios g166)
For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
18 Kunsoko shakugozile imaintu nigee, inge kunsoko amaintu neshangaigee. Imaintu nekuhumile kumaone itungo udu, inge imaintu neshangaigee. Imaintu nekuhumile kumaona itungo udu, inge imaintu neshanga igee akale. (aiōnios g166)
while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
