2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing that we haue this ministerie, as we haue receiued mercy, we faint not:
Nkinkako, nkambo tuli amulimu oyu alimwi mbuli mbutwakatambula luzyalo, tatusiki mukutyompwa.
2 But haue cast from vs ye clokes of shame, and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the worde of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans conscience in the sight of God.
Pesi, twakakkaka nsiswa anzila zyabusu. Tatwendi mububumbwe mpawo tatujati bubi pe ijwi lyaLeza akupedekezya kasimpe, twalizumizya tobeni kuliwonse mbwamvwa kubbazu lyaLeza.
3 If our Gospell bee then hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
Pesi na esu makani avumbwa, avumbidwe kupela kulibabo balimukunyonyoka.
4 In whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine vnto them. (aiōn g165)
Mukambo kabo, baLeza bayeyi nyika bawofwazya ikutasyoma kwamizezo. Nkambo kambubobu, tabakonzyi kubona mumuni wamakani mabotu abulemu bwaKkilisito, ulichikozyanyo chaLeza. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruaunts for Iesus sake.
Nkambo tatuli lungululi tobeni, pesi KkilisitoJesu mbuliMwami mpawo swebo mbuli babelesi banu nkambo kaJesu.
6 For God that commanded the light to shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ.
Lino Leza nguwenya wakati, “Mumuni oyu munika mumudima.” Wakatondezya mumyoyo yesu kupa mumuni waluzibo lwabuna Leza mubuliwo bwaJesu Kkilisito.
7 But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of that power might be of God, and not of vs.
Pesi tuli abuvubi muchibikilo chanongo, Kuchitila kuti kuboneke nguzu zyindilide mpati nzizyaLeza pepe kulindiswe.
8 Wee are afflicted on euery side, yet are we not in distresse: we are in doubt, but yet wee despaire not.
Twapenzegwa munzila zyoonse, pesi pepe kuzundwa. Twakanyonganisigwa pesi pepe akuzuzigwa akupupulwa.
9 We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast downe, but we perish not.
Twapenzegwa pesi pepe kusiyigwa, twakasowelwa pesi pepe kunyonyoka.
10 Euery where we beare about in our bodie the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life of Iesus might also be made manifest in our bodies.
Lyoonse katubwezede mulindiswe mumibili yalufu lwaJesu, kuchitila kuti bumi bwaJesu alubo bukayubununwe mumibili yesu.
11 For we which liue, are alwaies deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Kulindiswe nitupona twakapedekezegwa kulufu nkaambo kaJesu kuchitila kuti buumi bwaJesu buyubununwe mumubili wesu wanyama.
12 So then death worketh in vs, and life in you.
Lino lufu luli amilimu mulindiswe pesi buumi buli amilimu mulindinywe.
13 And because we haue the same spirite of faith, according as it is written, I beleeued, and therefore haue I spoken, we also beleeue, and therefore speake,
Pesi tuli amuuya omwe walusyomo mbuli echo chakalembedwe: “Ndasyoma, alubo ndamba.” Alubo tulasyoma aboobo tulamba.
14 Knowing that he which hath raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vs vp also by Iesus, and shall set vs with you.
Nkambo tulizi oyo wakabusya Mwami Jesu alubo andiswe oyo uyotubusya amwi aJesu mpawo akutweta antomwe mubuliwo bwakwe.
15 For all thinges are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing of many, may redound to the praise of God.
Kulizyoonse nkambo kandinywe kuchitila luzyalo kuti lusikile kuliboonse bantu bachite kulumbayizya kuyungizigwe kubulemu bwaLeza.
16 Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily.
Lino tatwelede kuba batyompwa. Nikuba kuti chanze tulikuswekelwa, chamukati tulabukuluka buzuba abuzuba.
17 For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent and an eternall waight of glorie: (aiōnios g166)
Echi chiyezyo mapenzi mawubawuba alikutubambila butamani bundemenene bwabulemu obo bwindilila zyoonse zyelesyo. (aiōnios g166)
18 While we looke not on the thinges which are seene, but on the things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall: but the things which are not seene, are eternall. (aiōnios g166)
Lino tatulangililwi kuzintu ezyo zibonwa pesi kuzintu zitabonwi. Zintu ezi nzitubona zilamana, pesi zintu zitabonwi tazimani. (aiōnios g166)
