2 Avakolinto 4
1 Pwu lino, tulinimbombo iyi, nduvu tuyupilile uluhungu, satugatala.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
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.
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation 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.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 Mu vuhaliwa vwa vene, unguluve va pakhilunga lwavo ulusalukhwedikha. Pwu savakhaluvone ulumuli lwa livangili ilivalache lya Kilisti, uvi khihwani kya Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
5 Ulwakhuva satukhwenchova yufwe, ila uNkilisti uYesu unkolodeva nufwe twevene tulivavombi vinyo kwa Yisu.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves 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.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of 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.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 Tukhatala satuchungutilewe. Twivona masiakho lakini satu khwegwisya nukhuvuye kunsana.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Tuteseke satwiyaga. Tutaagiwa satulemala.
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Ifigino fyoni twigega emivili gyetu uvufwe wa Yesu, pwu uvwumi vwa Yesu vavoneke mu mivili gyetu.
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 Ufwe twituvile vumi ifigono fyoni tuhuminchiwa ukhufwa kwa Yesu, pwu uvumi vwa Yesu vovonekhage mmivili gyetu igya vumunu.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 Ulwakhuva uvufwe vuvomba mbombo yetu mgata ndyufwe, pwu uvuvumi vuvomba imbombo mgati ndyumwe.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 Pwu tulini numbula yila yila iya lwidikho ukhukhongana: “Nikhidikhe puwu nikhanchova.” Nayufwe khange twikhwidikhe, khange twinchova.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; 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 which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 Khila khinu pokhile khinyo umwukhivelile ikhisa vukhiluta kwu vanu vingi, imwalimu yikula kwu vuvalanche vwa Nguluve.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 Pwu lino satwivuya kunsana ndayive kunje twisila, mgati tuvikivwa uvupya elinchova ni lichuva.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 Unsikhi ugu unsupi ugatanchi wa vudebe igikhutuvikha ufwe kwuvwa fikono fyoni uvujitu vwa vuvalanche uvulutelile ifigelelelo fyoni. (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Ulwakhuva satwilola ifinu ifivonekha, kufinu ifyu safivonekha. Ifinu ifyo twi tukhufivona ifya nsikhi vuvule ifinu ifivoneka sikhu joni. (aiōnios g166)
While we look not 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)
