2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
Nipele kwa chanasa cha Akunnungu atupele masengo ga, kwaligongo lyo ngatukupwa ntima.
2 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.
Tuilesile indu yose ya mitemela ni ya soni, ngatukunlambusya mundu jwalijose namuno kulilyungasya liloŵe lya Akunnungu, nambo kwakusala usyene pelanga chikwatende ŵandu amanyilile mmitima jao yatutite kuŵa paujo pa Akunnungu.
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
Nambo iwaga Ngani Jambone jitukujilalichila uwe jiunichikwe, jele jiunichikwe kwa ŵandu ŵakonasika pe.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
Ni ŵelewo ngakukulupilila pakuŵa nganisyo syao syetaje chipi ni achisoka, ŵaali nnungu ŵa pachilambo pano, kuti akakombola kuliwona lilanguka lya Ngani Jambone ja ukulu wa Kilisito, ŵaali chisau ni Akunnungu yatite kuŵa. (aiōn g165)
5 For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
Pakuŵa ngatukulalichila ngani syetu twachinsyene nambo tukunlalichila Che Yesu Kilisito ŵaali Ambuje, noweji tuli achikapolo ŵenu kwaligongo li Che Yesu Kilisito.
6 seeing it is God who said, “Light will 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 Jesus Christ.
Akunnungu ŵalaŵala uŵasasile kuti, “Lilanguka lilanguchisye mu chipi,” ŵawowo ni ŵalanguchisye mitima jetu, atupele lilanguka lya umanyilisi wa ukulu wa Akunnungu waukung'alima ku meeso kwa Kilisito.
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
Nambo uwe ŵatukwete mbiko ji tuli mpela yombo ya litaka yaiŵichikwe indu ya mmbumu nkati mwakwe, pakuti gawoneche machili gamakulungwa go, gakutyochela kwa Akunnungu ngaŵa kutyochela kukwetu twachinsyene.
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
Uweji tukupata masausyo gakupisyangana nambo ngatukulepela. Tukukola lipamba nambo ngatukupwa mitima.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
Tukulagaswa nambo ngatukulekwa pangali ukamuchisyo. Namuno tugwisiswe nambo ngatukujonasika.
10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Moŵa gose tukwenda ni chiwa chi Che Yesu pa iilu yetu, kuti umi u Che Yesu uwoneche iyoyo mu iilu yetu.
11 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.
Pakuŵa uweji ŵatuli ŵajumi tukuulajikwa moŵa gose kwaligongo lyakwatumichila Che Yesu, kuti umi wao uwoneche mu iilu yetu yaikuwa.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
Kwapele uwe tuli chile namose kuwa kwaligongo lyakunlalichila ŵanyamwe kuti ŵanyamwe mpate umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Nakulupilile ni kwa ligongo lyo naŵechete.” Uwe nowe tukwete ntima uwowo wa chikulupi, tukukulupilila kwayele tukuŵecheta,
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
pakuŵa tukuimanyilila kwaisyene kuti Akunnungu ni uŵansyusisye Ambuje Che Yesu, chatususye noweji pamo ni Ambuje Che Yesu ni kutuŵika paujo pao pamo ni ŵanyamwe.
15 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.
Yele yose itendekwe kwa liwamba lyenu kuti ntuuka wa Akunnungu paukwaichilila ŵandu achajinji, chiŵatende ŵatogolele kwannope Akunnungu, ni kwakusya Akunnungu.
16 Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
Kwapele ngatukupwa mitima, namuno iilu yetu ikuwisala nambo mbumu syetu munkati mwetu sikutendekwa syasambano moŵa gose.
17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
Kulaga kwetu kuli kwamwana sooni kuli kwa katema kakajipi nambo kukutupa ukulu waukupunda nnope, ukulu wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi wauli wambone kupunda kulaga kwatuli nako. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we don’t 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 eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Tukailolela yaikuwoneka nambo tuilolele yangaikuwoneka. Pakuŵa aila yaikuwoneka ili ya katema kakajipi nambo yangaikuwoneka ili ya moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
