2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this (having this ministry), in as much as we received mercy, we do not become discouraged.
Kwa ele, ndabha tuye ni huduma eye, na kutya katuipokili rehema, tikata lepi tamaa.
2 But we have renounced the covert things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor misrepresenting the word of God, but by the disclosure of the truth, commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
Badala yaki, tubelili njela syoa sya soni na sasijifighili. Tuishi lepi kwa hila, na tukalitumila lepi vibaya lilobhi la K'yara. Kwa kulifikisya laliyele la ukueli, tukajilasya tayhoto kwa zamila ya kila munu palongolo pa K'yara.
3 But even if our good news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing,
Lakini kutya injili ya yhoto ijisighili kwa bhala tu bhabhiangamila.
4 in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them. (aiōn g165)
Kup'etela kuchagula kwa bhene, K'yara wa ulimwengu obho abhapofuili uyelebhwa wa bhene wa ubekili kuamini. Matokeo ghaki, bhibhuesya lepi kubhona nulu ya injili ya utukufu wa Kristu, yaayele ndo mfuano wa K'yara. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves are your bondmen through Jesus.
Kwa ndabha tukakitangasya lepi tayhoto, bali kristu Yesu kutya Bwana, ni tete kabhele kutya bhutumishi bha yhomo kup'etela Yesu.
6 Because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who shone in our hearts for an enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Kwa ndabha muendo ndo aghajobhilo, “muenga alalangasya ku kitita.” Alangese kuhomela mu miteema yhitu, kupisya muanga wa maarifa wa utukufu wa K'yara kup'etela uwepo wa Yesu Kristu.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not from us,
Lakini tuye ni hazina ya ele kup'etela fhenu fya undongo, ili ndabha iyelewekai kwa nghofo ibhaa ya K'yara nasoyatete.
8 restricted in everything, yet not confined, perplexed but not despairing,
Titaabika kup'etela kila hali, tisongibhwa lepi tibhona mashaka ila tijasi bhwa lepi ni kukata tamaa.
9 persecuted but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed.
Titesibhwa ila tutetekisibhu hee. Titaghibhwa pasi lakini tiangamisibhwa hee.
10 Always carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our body.
Magono ghoa tip'enda mibhele ya yhoto kifo kya Yesu, yakuwa usima wa Yesu ubhonekanai kabhele mu mibhele ya yhoto.
11 For we who live are always given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.
Tete yatuyele hai magono ghoa tupisibhu kufua kwajia ya Yesu, yakuwa uhai wa Yesu ubhonekanai mu mibhele ya yhoto kibinadamu.
12 So death indeed works in us, but life in you.
Kwa ndabha eye, kifo kibhomba mbhombho mugati mwa yhoto, bali ni usima wibhombha mbhombho mugati mwa yhomo.
13 And having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe, and therefore we speak,
Ila tuyele ni roho yelayela ya imani kulengana ni khela ka kiyandikibhu: “Naamini, nikabhele nanenili.” Tete kabhele tiamini, ni kabhele linena.
14 knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present us with you.
Timanyili kabhele yhola ya afufuili Bwana Yesu kabhele alatufufula tete pamonga ni muene. Tumanyili ya kuwa alatuleta tete pamonga ni muenga kup'etela ubhuepo bhuake.
15 For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace, which has multiplied because of the thankfulness of the many, may abound for the glory of God.
Kila khenu ni kwa jia ya yhomo ili ndabha, kadili ya neema kayizidi kuenela kwa bhanu bhingi, shukrani sizidiayi kuyongeseka kwa utukufu wa K'yara.
16 Therefore we are not discouraged, but even if the outer man of us is perishing, yet the inner man is renewed day by day.
Efu tikata lepi tamaa. Japokuwa kwa kwibhala tuyenikichaka, kwa mugati tiketibhua upya magono hadi magono.
17 For our slight momentary affliction works for us an eternal weight of glory from extraordinariness to extraordinariness, (aiōnios g166)
Kwa kipindi kifupi eke, mateso agha malaini ghakatuyandala tete kwa jia ya umilele ubhaa wa utukufu wa uzidili fipemu fyoa. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we look not at things seen, but at things not seen. For things seen are temporal, but things not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa ndabha tilangalepi kwajia ya fhenu fya fibhonekana, bali kwajia ya fhenu fya fibela kubhonekana. Fhenu fafibhuesya kubhonekana ni fya muda tu, bali fhenu fafibela kubhonekana ndo fya milele. (aiōnios g166)
