2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again ourselves to commend? (Or *N+kO) surely not we need like some commendatory letters to you or from you (commendatory [letters]? *k)
Tinotangazve kuzviratidza here? Kana tinotsvaka here, sevamwe, tsamba dzekuzviratidza kwamuri, kana dzekuratidza kunobva kwamuri?
2 The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,
Imwi muri tsamba yedu, yakanyorwa mumoyo yedu, inozikanwa nekuverengwa nevanhu vese;
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ having been ministered to by us inscribed not in ink but with [the] Spirit of God [the] living, not on tablets of stone but on tablets (of hearts *N+KO) human.
muchiratidzwa kuti muri tsamba yaKristu inoshandiswa nesu, yakanyorwa kwete neingi, asi neMweya waMwari anorarama; kwete pamahwendefa emabwe, asi pamahwendefa enyama emoyo.
4 Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;
Nechivimbo chakadai tinacho naKristu kuna Mwari;
5 Not for from ourselves sufficient we are to reckon anything as of (ourselves, *NK+O) but the sufficiency of us [is] of God,
kwete kuti tinokwanisa isu pachedu kufunga chimwe chinhu sechinobva kwatiri, asi kukwanisa kwedu kunobva kuna Mwari;
6 who also has made competent us [as] ministers of a new covenant, not of [the] letter but of [the] Spirit; the for letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
iye wakatigonesa kuva vashumiri vesungano itsva, kwete yechakanyorwa asi yeMweya; nokuti chakanyorwa chinouraya, asi Mweya unoraramisa.
7 If now the ministry of death in (letters *NK+o) engraved (in *k) stones was produced in glory, so as for not to be able to look intently the sons of Israel into the face of Moses on account of the glory of the face of him which is fading,
Asi kana ushumiri hwerufu, pazvinyorwa zvakavezwa pamabwe hwakasvikira mukubwinya, zvekuti vana vaIsraeri vakakoniwa kutarisisa chiso chaMozisi nekuda kwekubwinya kwechiso chake, kwaipedzwa,
8 how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
ko shumiro yeMweya haingazovi nekubwinya kukuru here?
9 If for (to the *N+kO) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k) glory!
Nokuti kana shumiro yekupiwa mhosva iri kubwinya, shumiro yekururama ichakunda zvikuru sei mukubwinya.
10 Even for (not *N+kO) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
Nokuti kunyange icho chakabwinyiswa hachina kubwinyiswa pachinhu ichi nekuda kwekubwinya uku kwakanyanyisa.
11 If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
Nokuti kana icho chinopedzwa chaiva nekubwinya, zvikuru sei icho chinogara, pakubwinya.
12 Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
Naizvozvo tine tariro yakadai, tinoshandisa ushingi ukuru mukutaura;
13 and not as Moses was putting a veil over the face (of himself *N+kO) for not to look intently the sons of Israel into the end of that fading away;
uye kwete saMozisi waiisa chifukidziro pachiso chake, kuti vana vaIsraeri varege kutarisisa kuguma kwezvinopedzwa.
14 But were hardened the minds of them. Until for the present (day *no) the same veil at the reading of the old covenant remains not being lifted, (for *N+kO) in Christ is being removed,
Asi fungwa dzavo dzakaomeswa, nokuti kusvikira zuva rino chifukidziro ichochi chichiripo chisina kubviswa pakuverengwa kwetesitamende yekare, chakapedzwa muna Kristu.
15 But unto this day when (ever *no) (may be read *N+kO) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
Asi kusvikira zuva rino, kana kuchiverengwa Mozisi, chifukidziro chirere pamoyo wavo.
16 When however (ever *N+kO) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
Chero rinhi kana achidzokera kuna Ishe, chifukidziro chinobviswa.
17 The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k) [is] freedom.
Zvino Ishe ndiye Mweya; uye pane Mweya waIshe pane rusununguko.
18 We ourselves now all unveiled in face the glory of [the] Lord beholding as in a mirror, the same image are being transformed into from glory to glory even as from [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
Asi isu tese, nechiso chakashama tichiona sepachionioni kubwinya kwaIshe, tinoshandurirwa kumufananidzo iwoyo kubva pakubwinya kuenda pakubwinya, sezvinobva kuMweya waIshe.
