2 Bhakolinto 4
1 Bhai, a Nnungu kwa shiya shabho, bhashikutupa liengo lino, kwa nneyo tukawa ntima.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
2 Tushileka indu yowe ya tokomaya na ya nng'iyo. Tukatama kabhili muunami, eu nkulipuganya lilobhe lya a Nnungu, ikabhe kwa lunguya ya kweli gwangali nng'iyo, tunakwaalanguyanga bhandunji bhamumanyanje mmitima jabhonji kuti tunatenda ibhapinga a Nnungu.
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 Pabha, monaga Ngani ja Mmbone jitulunguyaji jishikwiiya, bhai jishikwiiya ku bhaobhanga.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
4 Bhalabhonji bhakaakulupalilanga pabha Lishetani, nnungu jwa shilambolyo ashikwaapuganyanga lunda lwabhonji bhanashibhonanje shilangaya sha Ngani ja Mmbone ja Ukonjelo gwa a Kilishitu, bhali malinga shibhali a Nnungu. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so they would not see the light of the glorious Good News of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
5 Pabha tukakwilunguya twaashayene, ikabhe bhutukwalunguya a Kilishitu kuti Bhakulungwa na uwe tubhatumishi bhenunji kwa ligongo lya a Kilishitu.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
6 Pabha a Nnungu bhabhelekete, “Shilangaya shilangaye nnubhindu,” bhai bhenebho shibhalangaye mitima jetu, na kutupa shilangaya sha kuumanya ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu gulangaya kumeyo kwa a Kilishitu.
For it is God, who spoke for light to 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 Christ.
7 Ikabheje, uwe tuli na shene shibhikosho, putuli mbuti indu ya lilongo ibhishilwe indu ya muntima, nkupinga imanyishe kuti mashili gamakulungwa ni ga a Nnungu na nngabha getu.
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
8 Mobha gowe tunalaga, ikabheje tukaamaliywa. Tunakola lipamba, ikabheje tukawa ntima,
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 tunalaga, ikabheje tukalekwa gwangali jangutilwa. Nkali bhatugalabhuyanje pai tukaabhulagwa.
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 Mobha gowe tunaowa na shiwo sha a Yeshu mwiilu yetu, nkupinga gumi gwabho gubhoneshe mwiilu yetu.
always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 Elo, pututama pano shiwo shinakutukagula ligongo lya kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nkupinga gumi gwabho gubhoneshe mwiilu yetu yawa ino.
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 Malombolelo gakwe ni kuti, uwe tukaajogopa nkali kuwa, nkupinga mmanganyanji mpatanje gumi gwa pitipiti.
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 Ishijandikwa Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, “Nne ngulupalile, kwa nneyo ngunabheleketa.” Numbe uwe nneyo peyo, tubhaga na ntima gogo pego gwa ngulupai, tunakulupalila na kwa lyene ligongolyo tunabheleketa.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
14 Tumumanyi kuti a Nnungu bhaayushiye Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhala, shibhatuyuye na uwe pamo na a Yeshu na kutubhika pa makongono gabho, pamo na mmanganya.
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 Gowego ni kwa ligongo lyenunji, nkupinga nema ja a Nnungu pushijipunde ku bhandu bhabhagwinji, kutenda eja kupunde na a Nnungu bhakuywe.
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 Kwa lyene ligongolyo tukawa ntima, nkali iilu yetu itutikaga, ikabhe mmitima jetu munabha mwaambi mobha gowe.
Therefore we do not become discouraged, but even though our outer nature is wearing away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
17 Pabha shilaje shetu nngabha sha punda, numbe sha malanga gashokope, ikabheje shinakutupa ukonjelo gwa puya kaje gwa pitipiti guli gwa mmbone kupunda shilaje shino. (aiōnios g166)
For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Kwa nneyo tunalolele indu ibhoneka, ikabhe ikabhoneka. Pabha ibhoneka ikalonjeya, ikabheje ikabhoneka ila, ni ya pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
while we do not 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 everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
