2 Vakolinto 4
1 Hinu, Chapanga, kwa lipyana laki atigotolili lihengu lenili ndava iyo nakuvya mumbele.
Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
2 Tigabelili mambu goha ga soni na gamfiyu. Titama lepi kavili kwa kukonga amala kwa kuliyagisa lilovi la Chapanga, pahali paki ndi tijova uchakaka muni vandu vamanya mumitima yavi tete chetivili palongolo ya Chapanga.
But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
3 Muni, ngati Lilovi la Bwina gatikokosa gafiyiki, gafiyiki ndu kwa vala vevayagili.
But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
4 Venavo vasadiki lepi muni yula Setani mweavi chapanga wa mulima uwu asopili chitita muluhala lwavi vakotoka kulola hotohoto lumuli lwa Lilovi la Bwina ga ukulu wa Kilisitu, mweavi ngati Chapanga cheavili. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them]. (aiōn g165)
5 Nakujikokosela tavete, ndi tikumkokosa Yesu Kilisitu mwavili BAMBU, tete tavete vanalihengu vinu ndava ya Yesu.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.
6 Chapanga mwajovili kuvya “Lumuli ndi lulangasayi kuhuma kuchitita,” Chapanga ndi mwakuyilangasa mitima yitu, na kutihotosa kuumanya ukulu wa Chapanga weulangasa pamihu pa Kilisitu Yesu.
Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.
7 Hinu, kwa tete tivii ngati vindu vya ludaka mugati yaki vivikiwi vindu vya chimpungu vandu valola hotohoto kuvya makakala genago gakulu gihuma kwa Chapanga nambu lepi kuhuma kwa tete tavete.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:
8 Magono goha ting'ahiswa, nambu nakusanguliwa, tivya mukuyogopa, nambu nakuvya mumbele,
every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
9 Ting'ahiswa nambu nakutileka changali kutangatilwa. Pamonga na kugwiswa pahi nakukomewa.
persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Lukumbi lwoha tigenda na lifwa la Kilisitu muhiga yitu, muni wumi waki Yesu ndi ulolekana muhiga yitu.
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;
11 Ena, lukumbi lwatitama titindilwa na lifwa magono goha, ndava ya Yesu, muni wumi waki Yesu ulolekana muhiga yitu yeyifwa.
for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;
12 Ndava yeniyo tete tivii tayali hata kufwa muni nyenye mpata wumi.
so that death works in us, but life in you.
13 Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Nasadiki, ndi mana najovili.” Na tete mewa petivya na mtima wuwowo wa sadika, tisadiki ndava yeniyo tijova.
And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; we also believe, therefore also we speak;
14 Timanyili kuvya Chapanga mweamyukisi BAMBU Yesu yati akutiyukisa tete mewa pamonga na Yesu kutivika palongolo yaki pamonga na nyenye.
knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
15 Goha genago ndava yinu, hati ubwina wa Chapanga pauvahikila vandu vamahele neju, usengusa wene wayonjokisiki neju, na kumpela Chapanga ukulu.
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Ndava yeniyo nakuvya mumbele, hati ngati higa yitu yilalile, nambu mugati mwitu mipungu yitu tikitiwa vamupya ligono kwa ligono.
Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
17 Mang'ahiso gegakutikolela ndi gadebe, kavili galukumbi ndu, nambu yati gakutipela ukulu mvaha neju wa magono goha kuliku mang'ahiso aga. (aiōnios g166)
For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Hinu tilola lepi vindu vyevilolekana, nambu tilola vindu vyangalolekana vya lukumbi ndu, nambu vila vyangalolekana ndi vya magono goha. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal. (aiōnios g166)
