2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
Itee manza kikulya unyenyene hange? Shangakulolwe ibada lakielya kung'waanyu, ang'wi kupume kung'waanyu, ang'wi anyu, itee kusingigwene?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Unyenye lukulu nibada litu nelabaguwe, neandekilwe munkolo yilu, nelengekile nukusong'wa neantu ehi.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Hange mukigela kena unye mibada kupuma kung'wa Kilisto, nepumigwe nusese neandekilwe singa kuwino ingekunkolo ang'wi Tunda nukole mupango. Shanga iandikilwe migulwa laibada niamagwe, inge muibada ya nkolo yaantu.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Nuwu inge ugimya nekukete kung'wi Tunda kukiila Kilisto.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Shakikuie usese kudaya kehi kupuma kitailu. Kuleka gwaite, kihuela use kupumile kung'wi Tunda. Inge Itunda naukutendile kuhume kutula kiatungwa ilago nipya.
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Itago ele singa libada inge lankolo. Kunsoko ibada lebulaga, kuile inkolo epumya uupanga.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
Itungo ele umulemo nuansha naeusesilwe kuuandeki migulya amagwe aezile kuukulu kena iantu akuisilaeli shanga aiagozile ung'wi ung'wi muusu nuang'wa Musa. Kunsoko eye uukulu nue usu wakwe, ukulu naeukulimansiila.
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
Itee, umulimo nuang'waung'welu shanga ukutula nuuukulu kukilane?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Kunsoko anga uwitumi nuaulamuli aeukete ukulu, nkuainga lukulu uwitumi nuatai wehile lukulu muukulu!
10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Inge tai kena, eke naekelendile ukulu hauza kigila uukulu hange kukuligwe ite, kunsoko aukulu nuukelinkie.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Kunsoko anga keke naekekeile aekekele uukulu, kuugeelike kueke nekikole kekulula nuukulu.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Kunsoko hihuie uu, kukete ugimya kulela.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Kuhetile anga Musa, nauekee ugole muusu wakwe, nsoko kina iantu akuislaeli aleke kulimensiila lukulu kumpelo naukulu naeweze hegeka.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
Kuite ulengi miao aeuambilwe. Sunge uluhiku lulu utaji wuwowuwoo heli usagile kuusomi nuilago lakale. Shanaiekilwe ng'walye, kunsoko inge kung'wa Kilisto udu ekuhegigwa kule.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Kuite ata elelo, kumatungo eki u Musa nuesong'wa, uutaji wikie munkolo yao.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Kuite umuntu nuemupelukila u mukulu, uutaji wehegigwe.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Itungo ile umukulu inge nkolo. Nekole inkolo a mukulu, ukole widesi.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Itungo ele usese keehi, palung'wi nuusu nesinga iekiwe uutaji, yeuona ukulu nua Makulu. Kepeulwa mukali awigeeli wuwowuwo nuaukulu kupuma muwihengi ung'wi nua ukulu kulongola kungiza, anga niele kupuma kumukulu nenkolo.
