2 Vakolinto 4
1 ulwakuva uNguluve mu lusungu lwake atupeliile imbombo iji, natudendevuka.
Wherefore, having this ministry, inasmuch as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 ulwene, tukanile lwoni kuvomba isa kuvusyefu inya sooni. nambe natukuvasyanga avaanhu, nambe kuhasing'hania ilisio lya Nguluve nu vudesi. looli, tujova uvwa kyang'haani pa vuvalafu, neke avaanhu vooni vakagule mu moojo ghaave kuuti tuli va kyang'haani pa maaso gha Nguluve.
but we have renounced the secret works of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but, by the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 neke nave iMhola inofu jino tupulikisie jisighile kuvoneka, jiiva jisighilue ku vano visova.
But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed among the lost,
4 ulwakuva kusalula vavuo, uSetano juno ghwe m'baha ghwa iisi iji, akupile uluhala lwa vanonavikumwitika u Yeesu. wimila uvuo, vikunua kukulwagha ulumuli ulwa Mhola inofu ija vuvaha vwa Kilisite, juno ghwe kihwani kya Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
whose unbelieving minds the god of this age has darkened, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine to them. (aiōn g165)
5 ulwakuva usue natupulisia imhola siitu, looli tupulusia kuuti, uYeesu Kilisite ghwe Mutwa, najusue tulivavombi viinu mulwa kum'bombela uYeesu.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants, for Jesus sake.
6 ulwakuva uNguluve ghwe mwene juno alyatiile, ulumuli lulimulika kuhuma mung'hiisi, ghwe mwene imulika amoojo ghiitu, na kukutupeela kukagula uvuvaha vwake vuno vuvalatika ku maaso gha Yeesu Kilisite.
Because God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the person of Jesus Christ.
7 usue twe vano tuli ndavule ifikog'holo fya nhapo, tupelilue ulumuli uluo, neke likagulike kuuti, ingufu imbaha isa kuvomba imbombo ijio na siitu, sihuma kwa Nguluve.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be God’s and not our own.
8 sikutuvona imhumhuko sino sili papinga, neke natulemua, tuuva ni ng'haani ng'haani, neke natufua umwojo.
We are pressed on all sides, yet not restrained; perplexed, but not in despair;
9 avaanhu vikutupumusia, neke uNguluve naikutuleka tweveene, vikututwasia paasi, neke natufua.
persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 ifighono fyooni amavili ghiitu ghali mulutalamu ulwa kufua ndavule uYeesu kuuti uvwumi vwa Yesu vuvoneke mu mavili ghiitu.
always bearing about in our body the violent death of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.
11 ulwakuva usue twe vano tuli vwuumi, jaatu tuli mu lutalamu ulwa kufua vwimila uYesu kuuti, uvwumi vwake vuvoneke mu mavili ghiitu ghano ghifua.
For we who live are continually delivered up to death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 vwimila uluo, usue tuli mu lutalamu ulwa kufua, mu uluo umue mukava vwumi.
So, then, death is active in us, but life in you.
13 mu malembe amimike ghalembilue amasio ghano ghiiti, nilyamwitike uNguluve fyenambe nilyajovile. najusue tui nu lwitiko ndavule uluo. fyenambe tujova.
But, having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and for this reason I have spoken; we also believe, and for this reason we speak,
14 tukagwile kuuti uNguluve juno alyansusisie uMutwa uYesu ilikutusyusia na jusue. ulwene ilikutuviika palikimo numue, kuuti tukale nu Yesu.
knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also by Jesus, and present us together with you.
15 lino, imhumhuko sooni tukwupila vwimila umue, kuuti ulusungu lwa Nguluve luvafikie avaanhu vinga, neke vamuhongesyaghe fiijo uNguluve. mu uluo uNguluve ighinisivua.
For all these afflictions are for your sakes, that the favor which abounds to me, may, through the thanksgiving of the many, abound richly to the glory of God.
16 lino natudendevuka, nambe amavili ghiitu ghisakala, looli, n'kate mumoojo ghiitu. UNguluve ikutupela kuuva vapia ifighono fyoni.
For this reason we faint not: but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 ulwakuva ulupumuko lwitu lupepe, kange lwa n'siki n'debe vuvule. ulupumuko uluo lukutuling'hanikisia uvuvaha uvwa kuvusila kusila. uvuvaha uvuo vukome kukila, vukutupelela kuvona imhumhuko isi nakiinu. (aiōnios g166)
For our present light affliction works out for us an eternal fullness of glory, excelling all excellence, (aiōnios g166)
18 ulwakuva natulola vwimila ifinu fino fivoneka, ulwene vwimila ifinu fino nafivoneka. ifinu fino fivoneka fya n'siki n'debe vuvule, looli fino nafivoneka fya jaatu. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen: for the things seen are temporal; but the things not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
