2 Abhakorintho 4
1 Pipo tuli ni mbombo ene, khashele shishili tuiposhile, huluma satubhakhate etamaa.
For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:
2 Pamandi yakwe, tukhanile amadala ngantughensoni vya vyubheele hatukhala na malibho, satibhombela shibhibhi izyo lwa Ngulubhi, awasilisye lwa lililyoli, tuwibhonesyatete zamila ya kila mutu witaziilya Ngulubhi.
And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.
3 Nkashele alumbilele hwetu hwobheele, iyabhele hwabhala bhene bhabhatega.
But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:
4 Asalule hwabho Ungulubhi winsi ene abhapofo la enjele zyabho zyasazihweteha hahafumila habhawezya alole ulukhozyo ululambilelo umwamu wa Kristi, wali fwano gwa Nngulubhi. (aiōn g165)
Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them. (aiōn g165)
5 Afwatanaje satu hwitangazya tete, ila Ukristi uGosi, natitete nashi patubhalongozya hunongwa ya Yesu.
For our preaching is not about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants through Jesus.
6 Afwatane yayoyo ayanjile, “Ulukhozyo lwa ikhola afume nkisi. “Aitangazyezye moyo getu, afumye ulukhozyolwenjele yiutukufu wa Ngulubhi ubhoneshelo wa Yesu Kristi.
Seeing that it is God who said, Let light be shining out of the dark, who has put in our hearts the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Lelo tubhuto muvyombo vilongo ili nkebhoneshe nguvu ingositee ya Ngulubhi sagayetu.
But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;
8 Tutamyashila halisagati khophelwa tulola u wasi wasi ila satukata tamaa.
Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them;
9 Tuyimba hatu bhombilwe tutagwapansi satuhwangamila.
We are cruelly attacked, but not without hope; we are made low, but we are not without help;
10 Insikuzyonti tinyemula mubele gwetu enfwa ya Yesu, aje uwomi wa Yesu uubhonehanaje mmabele getu.
In our bodies there is ever the mark of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our bodies.
11 Ati tatuli bhomi insiku zyonti tefeziwe afwe hunongwa ya Yesu, aje uwomi wa Yesu ubho neshe mumabele getu gishibinadamu.
For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.
12 Afatanaje, ifwa ibhomba ibhomba imbombo muhati yetu.
So then, death is working in us, but life in you.
13 Ila tulinabho Umpepo alengane na lweteshilo alagane na shila shashahandiwe, “Iheteshele, esho ehayanjile.” Ate nantele tuhwiteshela antele tiyanga.
But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;
14 Tuminye aje ola wazyonsezye Ugosi uYesu nantele ayituzyo syaate pamo numwihale, tumenya aje ayituleta ati pamo namwe nubhoneshelo wakwe.
Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.
15 Shila hantu hali kwa ajili yenyu aje, neema shiwenela hwa bhantu abhinji, ensumbezyo zizi daje ahwonjelele umwamu uwa Ngulubhi.
For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.
16 Esho satu hwanza ahwolowe. Ijapo hunzi tukulupa muhati tubhombwa shipya kila lisiku.
For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.
17 Hushipindi ishi ishi ufupi amayemba yalisya ati huwomi umwamu wauzida ivipimilo vyunti. (aiōnios g166)
For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Afwatanaje satizama hu vintu vyavibhoneha bali vyasagavibhoveha. Ivintu vyatigawezya avilole vyesavibhonehana vya wiwila; (aiōnios g166)
While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
