2 Avakolinto 4
1 Pwu lino, tulinimbombo iyi, nduvu tuyupilile uluhungu, satugatala.
Therefore, since we have received mercy along with this ministry, we do not lose heart.
2 Pwu tubelile injila nchoni inchasoni ni ncho nche yuvelile, satutama ni lyoyo Khange satuvombile uvuvivi ilimenyu lya Nguluve. Upwu tuhilikha iyivile lweli, tukhivonesya yufwe kwu nyivonelo nche munu kuvulongolo kwa Nguluve.
Rather, we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in deception nor falsifying the Word of God, but by the open proclamation of the Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.
3 Pwu ingave iliangili lyetu lye yuvelile, lye yuvelile khuvala aviyaga.
So where our Gospel has actually been concealed, it has been hidden from those who are being wasted,
4 Mu vuhaliwa vwa vene, unguluve va pakhilunga lwavo ulusalukhwedikha. Pwu savakhaluvone ulumuli lwa livangili ilivalache lya Kilisti, uvi khihwani kya Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
5 Ulwakhuva satukhwenchova yufwe, ila uNkilisti uYesu unkolodeva nufwe twevene tulivavombi vinyo kwa Yisu.
Now we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Sovereign, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;
6 Ulwakhuva Unguluve vi akhanchova, “Ulumuli tumulekha khuhisi.” Amulikhe munumbula nchenyo ukhuhumya uluhala uluvalanche ulwa Nguluve pwu khuvepo khwa Yesu Kristi.
because the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness is He who shined in our hearts to give the light that comes from the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Pwu lino tulinikhibana ikhi mufyombo fya ng'anga lipulikhikhe ukhuta amaka amavaha ficho ga Nguluve sageto.
Further, we have this treasure in jars of clay, so that this all-surpassing power may be of God and not from ourselves
8 Tukhatala satuchungutilewe. Twivona masiakho lakini satu khwegwisya nukhuvuye kunsana.
—we are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Tuteseke satwiyaga. Tutaagiwa satulemala.
persecuted, yet not abandoned; knocked down, but not out;
10 Ifigino fyoni twigega emivili gyetu uvufwe wa Yesu, pwu uvwumi vwa Yesu vavoneke mu mivili gyetu.
always carrying about in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
11 Ufwe twituvile vumi ifigono fyoni tuhuminchiwa ukhufwa kwa Yesu, pwu uvumi vwa Yesu vovonekhage mmivili gyetu igya vumunu.
For we, the living, are always being handed over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 Ulwakhuva uvufwe vuvomba mbombo yetu mgata ndyufwe, pwu uvuvumi vuvomba imbombo mgati ndyumwe.
So then, death is at work in us, but life in you.
13 Pwu tulini numbula yila yila iya lwidikho ukhukhongana: “Nikhidikhe puwu nikhanchova.” Nayufwe khange twikhwidikhe, khange twinchova.
Now since we have the same spirit of faith, just like it is written, “I believed; therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,
14 Tulumanyile ukuva ula uvianchusicha unkuludeva uYisu pwu ayikhutunchusya nayufwe paninie numwe. Tunajua kuwa atatuleta sisi pamoja nanyi katika ukhuvepo nu mwene.
knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us through Jesus and present us together with you.
15 Khila khinu pokhile khinyo umwukhivelile ikhisa vukhiluta kwu vanu vingi, imwalimu yikula kwu vuvalanche vwa Nguluve.
So all this is for your benefit, so that the grace that has spread through the many may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Pwu lino satwivuya kunsana ndayive kunje twisila, mgati tuvikivwa uvupya elinchova ni lichuva.
Therefore we do not lose heart—even though our outer man is wasting away, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day—
