2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
Bhuli, tunatandubha kwiiniya kabhili twaashayene? Bhuli, tunapinga bhaluwa ja lumanyio malinga shiikupinjikwa ku bhandu bhananji pubhakwiyangananga kunngwenunji eu kopoka kunngwenunji?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Mmwe mwaashayene ni bhaluwa jetu, bhaluwa jijandishwe mmitima jetu, na jinamanyika na shomwa na bhandu bhowe.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Messiah, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Mmanyikenje kuti mmanganya bhaluwa ja a Kilishitu kukopoka mmakono getu. Bhaluwa jijandishwe nngabha na wino, ikabhe kwa Mbumu jwa a Nnungu bhali bhakwete gumi, nngabha jijandishwe nshipande sha liganga, ikabhe mmitima ja bhandu.
4 Such confidence we have through Messiah towards God,
Tunakombola bheleketa genego gwangali bhoga pa meyo ga a Nnungu, ligongo lya ngulupai itukwete kwa a Nnungu kwa gene gubhatendile a Yeshu Kilishitu gala.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Nngabha tunakombola tenda shindu shoshowe kwa mashili getu, ikabhe mashili getu kugakopoka kwa a Nnungu.
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Pabha bhenebho bhatutendile uwe kulunguya malagano ga ambi, nngabha malagano ga Shalia jijandikwe, ikabhe malagano gaka Mbumu jwa a Nnungu. Pabha Shalia jinabhulaga, ikabhe Mbumu anataga gumi.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
Shalia jashinkujandikwa mwiipande ya maganga. Ikabhe mpelo gwakwe shiwo, ukonjelo gwabho gwashinkupunda mpaka bha Ishilaeli bhashinkulepelanga kwaalola a Musha kumeyo, ligongo lya ng'anyima kwabho. Kung'anyima kwabho kwangalonjeya. Bhai, ibhaga Shalia jipeleshela kuwa jatendeshe kwa ukonjelo gwa nneyo,
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
bhuli, liengo lika Mbumu jwa a Nnungu likapunda kukola ukonjelo?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Bhai, ibhaga gwashinkupagwa ukonjelo nniengo lya ukumula ukoto, penepo liengo lipeleshela uguja shilibhe na ukonjelo gwa puya.
10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Ukonjelo gwalongolele gula ushipela, pabha nnaino shikwete ukonjelo gwa puya, shiishe.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Ibhaga shene shaliji sha pitape shashinkukola ukonjelo, lyakwa lipamba kuti sha pitipiti shila shipinga kola ukonjelo gwa puya.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Na pabha shitukulupalila ni sheneshi, uwe tunabheleketa kwa mashili.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Uwe tukatenda malinga a Musha bhaiunishile nngubho kumeyo, nkupinga bha Ishilaeli bhanakubhonanje kung'anyima kwabho kulipela.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away.
Ikabhe lunda lwabhonji lwashinkupuganyika. Mpaka lelo Bhaishilaeli pubhaashomanga itabhu ya Malagano ga Bhukala, shitabhosho shikanabhe shoka. Pushishoka mundu alundanaga na a Kilishitu.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Elo, mpaka lelo kila pubhaashomanga itabhu ya a Musha, lunda lwabhonji lunapuganyika.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Ikabheje, malanga gogowe mundu pakwatendebhushila Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, shitabhosho shinashoywa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Bhai, “Bhakulungwa” ni Mbumu na popowe pali Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa penepo pa ungwana.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Bhai, uwe tubhowe twangaunishilwa kumeyo, tunalangula ukonjelo gwa Bhakulungwa mbuti kung'anyima kwa shioo, shitutindiganywe tulandane na Bhakulungwa, tulishoka ukonjelo kwenda ukonjelo guna, numbe gwa puya. Lyene liengolyo lika Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa.
