2 Abhakorintho 4
1 Kulwejo, kulwokubha china imfulubhendo inu, na lwakutyo chilamiye echigongo, chitakufwa mwoyo.
Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
2 Nawe chilalemele jinjila jona ejanjiswalo na jinu jiselekele. Chitakwikala kwo bhuligelige, na chitalikolela kubhibhi lisango lya Nyamuanga. Kwokuleta jinu jili jachimali, echiyolesha eswe abhene mumitima gwa bhuli munu imbele ya Nyamuanga.
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Nawe ikabha okulasha kwemwe kwiselekele, iselekele kubhaliya bhanu abhasimagila.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
4 Mubhusosi bhwebhwe, nyamuanga we chalo chinu aongelesishe obhwiganilisha bhinu bhutakwikilisha. Echo echibhonekana, bhatakutula kulola obwelu bhwe misango jo bhwana ja likusho lya Kristo, unu ali lususo lwa Nyamuanga. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
5 Kulwokubha chitakwilasha eswe abhene, tali Kristo kuti Latabhugenyi, na eswe abhene lwa bhakosi bhemwe ingulu ya Yesu.
For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
6 Kulwokubha Nyamuanga niwe aikile, “Obhwelu bhuli sekana okusokelela muchisute.” Achisekaniye mumyoyo jeswe, okusosha obhwelu bhwo bhwengeso bwa likusho lya Nyamuanga mukubhao kwa Yesu Kristo.
seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Nawe chili nobhunibhi mubhinu bhya limoga, koleleki imenyekane ati amanaga amakulu ni ga Nyamuanga na gatali geswe.
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
8 Echinyaka bhuli nyanko, nawe chitakulumatanyishwa. Echifwa emyoyo nawe chitakwijula okufwa emyoyo.
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 Echinyansibhwa nawe chichali kweswa. Echeswa ansi nawe chitakusimagisibhwa.
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 Nsiku jona echigega kumubhili gweswe olufu lwa Yesu, koleleki obhuanga bhwa Yesu bhubhonekane ona mumibhili jeswe.
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 Eswe bhanu chilamile nsiku jona chisosibhwe okufwa ingulu ya Yesu, koleleki obhuanga bhwa Yesu bhubhonekane mumubhili jeswe ejechinyamubhili.
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12 Kulwainsonga inu, olufu olukola emilimu munda yeswe, nawe obhuanga obhukola emilimu munda yemwe.
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 Nawe china omwoyo guliya guliya ogwelikisha okulubhana nachinu chandikilwe: “Nekilisishe, kulwejo naikile. “Eswe ona echikilisha, nakutyo ona echaika.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
14 Echimenya ati uliya amusuluye Latabhugenyi Yesu ona alichisulula amwi nage. Echimenya ati alichileta eswe amwi nemwe mubhumwi bhwae.
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 Bhuli chinu ni ingulu yemwe koleleki, nalwakutyo echigongo echisugana kubhanu bhamfu, lisime lyani libhone okwiyongesha kwa likusho lya Nyamuanga.
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Kulwejo chitakufwa mioyo. Nolo kutyo anja chinyamukile, nawe munda echikolwa bhayaya kunsiku na kunsiku.
Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
17 Kwomwanya gunu mufuyi, okunyaka kunu okwololo agachikola eswe ingulu ya kajanende okusito kwa likushyo linu elikila ndengo yona. (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
18 Kulwokubha chitakulola ingulu ye bhinu bhinu ebhibhonekana, nawe ingulu yebhinu bhinu bhitakubhonekana. Ebhinu bhinu echitula okulola ebhibhonekana nibhyomwanyala, nawe bhinu bhitakubhonekana nibhya kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
