2 Corinthians 3
1 Doe we begin to praise our selues againe? or neede we as some other, epistles of recommendation vnto you, or letters of recommendation 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 Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men,
Muenga mwa yhomo ndo barua yhitu ya mapendekesu, yaiyandikibhu mu miteema yhitu, yaimanyikene ni kusomibhwa ni bhanu bhoa.
3 In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
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 such trust haue we through Christ to God:
Na obho ndo ujasili watayele nabhu kwa K'yara kup'etela Kristu.
5 Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,
Tukajiamini lepi tayhoto kwa kudai kyoakela kutya kupita kwa yhoto. Badala yaki, kujiamini kwa yhoto. kwihomela kwa K'yara.
6 Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life.
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 If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.)
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 Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
Ko, mbhombho ya Roho ilayalepi ni utukufu zaidi?
9 For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
Kwa ndabha kutya huduma ya hukumu yayele ni utukufu, ni mala silenga zaidi huduma ya haki huzidi sana kup'etela utukufu!
10 For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie.
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 should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
Ya kuwa kutya khela kakapetayi kujo kiye ni utukufu, ni kiasi kelevu zaidi ni khela ambakyo kya kudumu kilaya ni utukufu!
12 Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach.
Kwa ndabha tukajiamini eye, tuyele ni ukifu naa.
13 And we are not as Moses, which put a vaile vpon his face, that the children of Israel should not looke vnto the ende of that which should be abolished.
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 Therefore their mindes are hardened: for vntill this day remaineth the same couering vntaken away in the reading of the olde Testament, which vaile in Christ is put away.
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 euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts.
Ila hata lelu, magono ghoa ghala Musa paisomibhwa, utaji witama panani pamiteema ya bhene.
16 Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away.
Ila munu paigeuka kwa Bwana, utaji wibhosibhwa.
17 Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.
Henu Bwana ndo Roho. Palipo na Roho ya Bwana, kuye ni uhuru.
18 But we al behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face, and are changed into the same image, from glorie to glorie, as by 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.
