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?
Sena tutatike kulilumbaisha? Sena twise uko ne makalata eshikutusansulula, mpani tumante makalata alico kufuma kuli njamwe mbuli ncobalenshinga bantu nabambi? nkacela kubeco sobwe!
2 Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men,
Pakwinga amwe njamwe kalata yetu yalembwa mu myoyo yetu iyo yela kubelengwa ne kwinshibikwa ne bantu.
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.
Ni cintu ceshibikwa kwambeti Klistu mwine ewalalemba kalata iyo ne kwituma kupitila muli njafwe. Nkayalembewa ne inki sobwe, nsombi ne Mushimu Uswepa wa Lesa muyumi, kayi nkayalembwa pa mabwe sobwe nsombi mu myoyo ya bantu.
4 And such trust haue we through Christ to God:
Tulambeco pakwinga tukute lushomo muli Lesa kupitila muli Klistu.
5 Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,
Afwe paliya ncotukute ico cela kutupa ngofu sha kusebensa ncito iyi. Sobwe, ngofu nshotukute nisha Lesa.
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.
Nsombi nendi eukute kutupa ngofu shakwambeti tube basebenshi ba cipangano ca lino lino ico cabula kubambwa ne Milawo yalembwa, nsombi ne Mushimu Uswepa pakwinga Milawo yalembwa ikute kuleta lufu, Mushimu Uswepa ukute kupa buyumi butapu.
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.)
Milawo yalikuba yabeswa pa mabwe, mpoyalapewa kuli Mose yalabonesha bulemu bwa Lesa. Bulemu bwa Lesa ebwalalengesha cinso ca Mose kumweka nambi cindi ncobwalikuya kushimangana, Baislayeli balikabacikute buyowa kulangana ne cinso ca Mose. Lino na Milawo ishikuleta lufu yalesa ne bulemu bulico,
8 Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
ekwambeti ncito ya Mushimu Uswepa wa Lesa nikabe yabulemu bwapita Milawo, sena nteco cakubinga?
9 For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
Na Milawo ishikuleta lufu yalikuba ne bulemu bulico, ekwambeti bululami bwelakuba nebulemu bwapitapo.
10 For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie.
Cakubinga, bulemu bwa cipangano ca kaindi nkabulabonekengeti ni bulemu bwakubinga sobwe, pakwinga bulemu bulipo lino bwapitapo.
11 For if that which should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
Nicakubinga Milawo yalikukute bulemu ubo bwalashimangana. Nomba bulemu bwa cipangano calino lino nibunene, pakwinga nteti bukashimanganepo sobwe.
12 Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach.
Cebo ca kupembelela kwamushobo uyu, ekulatwambishinga kwakubula buyowa.
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.
Nkatulipo eti Mose walalifwekelela cikwisa pamenso kwambeti, bana Baislayeli kabatabona bulemu cindi ncobwalikushimangana.
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.
Nomba manjeyaulwa abo acalilwa pakwinga kushikila pacindi cino, cikwisa cisa cicili cafwekelela manjeyaulwa abo babelenganga cipangano cakaindi. Cikwisa cikute kufwekulwa muntu aba muli Klistu.
15 But euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts.
Ee, mpaka pacino cindi cikwisa cisa cicibafwekelela kumoyo babelenganga Milawo yalalembwa ne Mose.
16 Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away.
Cikwisa cisa cikute kufumapo na muntu lasandukili kuli Mwami.
17 Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.
Lino Lesa ni Mushimu, pali Mushimu wa Lesa pali kusunguluka.
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.
Neco, twense tulabononga bulemu bwa Mwami Lesa ne cinso cabula kufwekwa cikwisa, tulyeti cilola cikute kubonesha bulemu bwa Mwami Lesa. Twaleshanga bulemu bulico tukute kushinta nekubeti endiye, kayi tukute kufuma mubulemu ubu kuya mubulemu nabumbi bwapitapo.
