2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Unless we need, as some men, commendatory letters to you or commendatory from you?
Ko, tuyandili kujisifili tayoto kabhele? Tilonda lepi barua ya mapendekesu kwa yhomo au kuhomela kwa yhomo, kwa baazi ya bhanu, ko twilonda?
2 Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Muenga mwa yhomo ndo barua yhitu ya mapendekesu, yaiyandikibhu mu miteema yhitu, yaimanyikene ni kusomibhwa ni bhanu bhoa.
3 being seen that ye are a letter of Christ, administered by us, written not in ink, but in the Spirit of the living God, not in stony tablets, but in fleshly tablets, in hearts.
Na mwilasibhwa kuwa muenga ndo barua kuhomela kwa Kristu. yaiyandikibhu so kwa wino bali kup'etela Roho wa K'yara yaayele haiyayandikibhu hee panani pa mfibao fya maganga, bali panani pa mfibao sya miteema ya bhanadamu.
4 And we have such confidence toward God through Christ,
Na obho ndo ujasili watayele nabhu kwa K'yara kup'etela Kristu.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,
Tukajiamini lepi tayhoto kwa kudai kyoakela kutya kupita kwa yhoto. Badala yaki, kujiamini kwa yhoto. kwihomela kwa K'yara.
6 who also made us qualified helpers of a new covenant, not of a document, but of a Spirit, for the document kills but the Spirit makes alive.
Ndo K'yara muene yaatufwanyili tubhwesyai kuya bhutumishi bha agano lipya. Ele ndo agano na so barua bali la Roho. Kwa ndabha barua yikooma, lakini Roho yipisya uhai.
7 But if the administration of death in writings engraved on stones occurred in glory, so that the sons of Israel could not gaze upon the face of Moses because of the fading glory of his countenance,
Henu mbhombho ya kifo ya ichongibhu kiherufi lbhaa panani pamaganga ili kuhida kwa namna ya utukufu kwa bhanu bha Israel bhalangi lilepi moja kwa moja mu pamiu mwa Musa. Eye ndabha ya utukufu wa pamiu paki, utukufu wawafifiliai.
8 how will the administration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
Ko, mbhombho ya Roho ilayalepi ni utukufu zaidi?
9 For if the administration of condemnation has glory, the administration of righteousness excels much more in glory.
Kwa ndabha kutya huduma ya hukumu yayele ni utukufu, ni mala silenga zaidi huduma ya haki huzidi sana kup'etela utukufu!
10 For also that which has been glorified, has not been glorified in this regard, because of the glory that transcends.
Ni kueli ndabha, khela kakifanyibhu utukufu hosi kiyele hee ni utukufu kabhele kup'etela heshima eye, ndabha ya utukufu wawizidi.
11 For if that which is abolished was through glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Ya kuwa kutya khela kakapetayi kujo kiye ni utukufu, ni kiasi kelevu zaidi ni khela ambakyo kya kudumu kilaya ni utukufu!
12 Having therefore such a hope we use great boldness,
Kwa ndabha tukajiamini eye, tuyele ni ukifu naa.
13 and are not as Moses. He put a veil over his face in order for the sons of Israel not to gaze on the end of the fading.
Tuyehe kujo Musa, yaabhekili utaji panani pakumiu pamuene, ili ndabha bhanu bha ku Israel bhasibhuesi kulanga moja kwa moja mu mwisho wa utukufu wa wayele kutya wiyagha.
14 But their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old testament, not being uncovered, which thing is abolished in Christ.
Ila uyelebhwa wa bhene wayele ufungibhu. Hadi kufikila magono agha utaji bhola bado wibakila panani pa kusoma agano la muandi. Ibhekibhu hee bhuasi, kwa ndabha eye kup'etela Kristu muene yibhosibhwa patali.
15 But to this day when Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.
Ila hata lelu, magono ghoa ghala Musa paisomibhwa, utaji witama panani pamiteema ya bhene.
16 But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
Ila munu paigeuka kwa Bwana, utaji wibhosibhwa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Henu Bwana ndo Roho. Palipo na Roho ya Bwana, kuye ni uhuru.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing by reflection the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness from glory to glory, just as from the Spirit of the Lord.
Henu tete tabhoa, pamonga ni mumiu mwambelili kubhekibhwa utaji, tibhona utukufu wa Bwana. Tibadilisibhwa mugati wa muonekano bholabhola wa utukufu kuhomela shahada imonga ya utukufu kulotela yhenge, Katya kaiyele kuhomela kwa Bwana, yaayele Roho.
