2 Abhakorintho 3
1 Mwie, twandile tandile awiawidhuvhe tubhene? Hatuwaza kalata yachagulanye hulimwi amalwafume huli limwi khashele awadhuu, ishitu tuwanza?
Do we begin again to show you who we are? Or do we, like others, need that letters recommendatory of us should be written to you? Or, that ye should write recommendations of us?
2 Amwe mwi mwe mlikalata yitu gachagulanye, gosi mbiha na manyilwe nawadhuawadhu waudhi.
Ye are our epistle, written on our hearts, and known and read by every man.
3 Namubhoneha aje amwemlikalata afume wa Kristi. Iyafumiziwe nadhi, sangasihwa nakhono amanuwino ama uhala wa Ngulubhi umwumi hagaisibwa wiwimbao zi mawe. Ama moyo gabhanadamu.
For ye know that ye are an epistle of the Messiah, ministered by us; not written with ink, but by the Spirit of the living God; not on tables of stone, but on the tablets of the heart of flesh.
4 Ubhu udadamazu watulinao mwa Ngulubhi ubhu ajende ashizanye wa mwana usu Kristi.
And such confidence have we in the Messiah towards God.
5 Angahatuyani twithe awisye hahuthi au hahafuma hulithi amanagakwe awi yamiwitu hufuma wa Ngulubhi.
Not that we are sufficient to think any thing as of ourselves; but our efficiency is from God:
6 Yu Ngulubhi watubhomba hunje tuwezye huuja awe tuatumwa vhindajizyo ipha izi ndajizyo saga kalata ilazya hala umwenye kalata ibhunda lelo uhala aleta uumii.
who hath fitted us to be ministers of the new Testament, not in the letter, but in the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
7 Ishi imbombo yifwe iyihali ipuzwa mmasimbo mwanya mmawe ihenza manyishiheza manyi manyi shisisya bha mu Israeli sahenya lwuthi lwuthihata maso wa Mose. Phipo yisisya wimaso gakwe, usishwa bhulafi filanga.
Now if the ministration of death was engraved upon stones in writing, and was so glorious that the children of Israel could not look on the face of Moses, on account of the glory upon his face which vanished away;
8 Ishi imbombo yahala saga ihabha nu mwamu sana katika usisya?
how then shall not the ministration of the Spirit be still more glorious?
9 Lwali lelo hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine ahadodo!
For if there was glory in the ministration of condemnation, how much more shall the ministration of justification excel in glory?
10 Khamba hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine, ahadodo!
For that which was glorious, was as if not glorious, in comparison with this which excelleth in glory.
11 Khamba hala haha winza hagosi hashila hali nubhusishwa uwaubhuza wabhushe la wawa hali uwahweza khashele wilawila sha nushishwai.
For if that which is abolished was glorious, much more must that which abideth be glorious.
12 Khatu hwitiha esho, tunighuvhu sana.
Seeing therefore we have this hope, we the more speak with boldness;
13 Sagatuli ni Mose, ubha uje tubhanje waze wila na wila pamaso gakwe, huje abhadhu muIsraeli bhasiwe lwudti uwa humalishila hu thithya bhulawahepanga.
and are not like Moses, who threw a vail over his face, that the children of Israel might not behold the termination of that which was abolished.
14 Lelo thibho zyabho zhapi nyibwe. pakaisiku lwawaze bhubhula bhusagalashila isha manyile ulufingano lwihali. Shabhi bhiwilwe shilwe wazi, pipho uKristi mwene iwefewa hutali.
But they were blinded in their understanding; for until this day, when the old Testament is read, the same vail resteth upon them; nor is it manifest to them, that it is abolished by the Messiah.
15 Lakini hata thanyunu lwa lwunthi uMose sha manyilwa, lwawawazhe lukhala amwanya moyo gao.
And unto this day, when Moses is read, a vail is thrown upon their hearts.
16 Lelo umnthu pagoluhana wa Bwana, ulwa wanze lufewa.
But when any of them is turned unto the Lord, the vail is taken from him.
17 Eeshi Bwana uhala. Apa pa linu hala wa Bwana, hubha nuwaushe.
Now the Lord himself is the Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18 Eshi anthi nthi tubhepa palishimo na maso gasawanza ulwauweze tuula unthithwa uBwana. Tuwadhuhana mhathi shila shitukufu afume ubhutukufu afume engiga emo utukufu wa Bwana ya mwao, nashi shashishi afume Bwana, amashi pa Roho.
And we all, with uncovered faces, behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and are transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by the Lord the Spirit.
