2 Korintho 4
1 Kuitegwa, kunsoko kukete witumi uwa, hange anga uu nikusingiiye uukende, shanga kuusuke ekenyuma.
Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
2 Kuleka ite, kuihilile inzila yehi niaminyala nizi neyipihile. Singakikie kuwelu, hange singa kulitumela niibe ulukani lang'wi Tunda.
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.
3 Kuile angwi uutananti witu wipihile, wipihile kuawa nialimie udu.
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,
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)
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)
5 Kunsoko singa kiutanantya use, inge Kilisto Yesu anga Mukulu, nusese anga keitumi anyu kunsoko ang'wa Yesu.
(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
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 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.
7 Kuite kukete wiekeli suu muiseme yaulolo, nsoko kena ilengike kena engulu nenkulu kukela inge nang'wi Tunda hange singa itu.
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.
8 Kuaga mukala ehi, kuite shakulemigwa. Kuona uaeli kuite shakizuwe nukumala insula.
We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
9 Kuagigwa kuite shakulekilwe. Kuugung'wa pihe kuite shanga akulimansiilya.
pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
10 Mahiku ehi kunkenkile mumuile witu ensha ang'wa Yesu, nsoko kena uupanga wang'wa Yesu wigelegwa mumeili itu.
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.
11 Usese nekiapanga mahiku ehi kupumigwe kusha kunsoko ang'wa Yesu, nsoko kina uupanga wang'wa Yesu wigele mumeile itu nakeuntu.
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.
12 Kunsoko eye, ensha ekituma umulemo nutaitu, inge upanga ukituma umulemo mitalanyu.
Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
13 Kuite kukete inkolo yeyoyeeyo nauhueli anga kiki nekiandekilwe. Aenikuie, kuite nekalunga. “Nusese gwa kukwie nukuite gwa kuulunga.
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.
14 Kulengile hena uyu naumuiue uMukulu u Yesu ukuiulagwa usese palung'wi nunyee kuukole wakwe.
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.
15 Kela kentu nsoko anyu nsoko kena, kuukende nuulongolekile kigela kuantu needuu, isongeelyo longeeleke kuukulu nuang'wi Tunda.
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.
16 Ite shanga kuusuke ekenyuma. Ataeze kunzi kuubepa, mukali kuutendwa upya luhiku sunga uluhiku.
Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our 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 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)
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 we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
