< 2 Wakorintu 4 >
1 Su, kwa lusungu lyakuwi Mlungu, katupanana lihengu ali tulitendi, na hapeni tuwuyi kumbeli.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
2 Tuvileka nakamu vitwatira vyoseri vya soni na vya bada. Tulikala kayi ndiri muupayira, ama kwa kushipotoziya shisoweru sha Mlungu, kumbiti twankufunda unakaka pota na kufifa kuwalangawaziya wantu ntambu yatuwera. Shakapanu womberi hawavimani mumyoyu mwawu kuwera twenga tutakula nakaka.
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 Handa Shisoweru Shiwagira shatushibwera shilififa, su shilififa hera kwa walii wawagamira.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
4 Womberi wamini ndiri toziya Shetani mlungu gwa pasipanu, katula luwindu mumahala gawu nuwawona lupalahera ulangala wa Shisoweru Shiwagira sha ukwisa wa Kristu, yakalifaniti nakamu na Mlungu kwa ntambu zyoseri. (aiōn )
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 )
5 Toziya tulibwera ndiri twaweni, kumbiti tumubwera Yesu Kristu yakawera Mtuwa na twenga tuwera wantumintumi wenu toziya ya Yesu.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
6 Mlungu ulaa ayu yakalongiti, “Ulangala na ulangaliri kulawa muluwindu,” Ndo yakalangalira myoyu ya twenga na kutupanana ulangala wa kuvimana ukwisa wa Mlungu musheni sha Yesu Kristu.
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 Kumbiti twenga yatuwera na luhanja alu, tuwera gambira vyombu vya utapaka, su iwoneki pota na kufifa kuwera likakala ali likulu lilawa ndiri kwa twenga, kumbiti lilawa kwa Mlungu.
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
8 Wega zyoseri tufintirwa, kumbiti tuyonerwa ndiri, tuwera na lyoga, kumbiti tuwuya ndiri kumbeli,
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 twana wangondu wavuwa, kumbiti Mlungu katuleka ndiri pota na utanga, tembera tugusiwa pasi, kumbiti tutenduwa ndiri.
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 Mashaka goseri tutola howa ya Yesu munshimba mwetu, su ukomu wakuwi Yesu viraa ulanguziwi munshimba zyetu.
always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 Shipindi shatulikala, mashaka goseri tulavilwa kuhowa kwajili ya Yesu, su ukomu wakuwi Yesu ulanguziwi munshimba zyetu zyazihowa.
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 Su kuhowa kutenda lihengu mngati mwa twenga, kumbiti ukomu utenda lihengu mngati mwa mwenga.
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Njimiriti, su ntakuliti.” Na twenga viraa, patuwera na rohu iraa ayi ya njimiru, twenga viraa tutakula toziya tujimira.
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 Nakaka tuvimana kuwera Mlungu, ndo yakamzyusiyiti Mtuwa Yesu, viraa vilii hakatuzyukisiyi twenga pamuhera na Yesu na kututula pamuhera na mwenga kulongolu kwakuwa.
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 Goseri aga ndo kwa mota ya mwenga, ata manemu ga Mlungu pagawafikira wantu nentu na nentu, mayagashii kwa Mlungu gongereki nentu, wantu wampanani ukwisa Mlungu.
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 Toziya ayi hapeni tuwuyi kumbeli, ata handa nshimba zyetu zihowa, kumbiti rohu zya twenga zitendwa zyasyayi kila lishaka.
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 Ntabika zyatutabika ndidini hera na zya katepu hera, kumbiti hayitupanani ukwisa wa mashaka goseri yauwongereka nentu. (aiōnios )
For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios )
18 Su natuvilola vilii vyaviwoneka, kumbiti tuviloli hweri vintu vyaviwoneka ndiri. Toziya vyaviwoneka vilikala katepu hera, kumbiti vilii vyaviwoneka ndiri vyankulikala mashaka goseri. (aiōnios )
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 )
