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?
Mwie, twandile tandile awiawidhuvhe tubhene? Hatuwaza kalata yachagulanye hulimwi amalwafume huli limwi khashele awadhuu, ishitu tuwanza?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Amwe mwi mwe mlikalata yitu gachagulanye, gosi mbiha na manyilwe nawadhuawadhu waudhi.
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.
Namubhoneha aje amwemlikalata afume wa Kristi. Iyafumiziwe nadhi, sangasihwa nakhono amanuwino ama uhala wa Ngulubhi umwumi hagaisibwa wiwimbao zi mawe. Ama moyo gabhanadamu.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Ubhu udadamazu watulinao mwa Ngulubhi ubhu ajende ashizanye wa mwana usu Kristi.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Angahatuyani twithe awisye hahuthi au hahafuma hulithi amanagakwe awi yamiwitu hufuma wa Ngulubhi.
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.
Yu Ngulubhi watubhomba hunje tuwezye huuja awe tuatumwa vhindajizyo ipha izi ndajizyo saga kalata ilazya hala umwenye kalata ibhunda lelo uhala aleta uumii.
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,
Ishi imbombo yifwe iyihali ipuzwa mmasimbo mwanya mmawe ihenza manyishiheza manyi manyi shisisya bha mu Israeli sahenya lwuthi lwuthihata maso wa Mose. Phipo yisisya wimaso gakwe, usishwa bhulafi filanga.
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
Ishi imbombo yahala saga ihabha nu mwamu sana katika usisya?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Lwali lelo hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine ahadodo!
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.
Khamba hala hahafanyilwe usisya lwawandilo haga nuubhusisya hataishimaine, ahadodo!
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Khamba hala haha winza hagosi hashila hali nubhusishwa uwaubhuza wabhushe la wawa hali uwahweza khashele wilawila sha nushishwai.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Khatu hwitiha esho, tunighuvhu sana.
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.
Sagatuli ni Mose, ubha uje tubhanje waze wila na wila pamaso gakwe, huje abhadhu muIsraeli bhasiwe lwudti uwa humalishila hu thithya bhulawahepanga.
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.
Lelo thibho zyabho zhapi nyibwe. pakaisiku lwawaze bhubhula bhusagalashila isha manyile ulufingano lwihali. Shabhi bhiwilwe shilwe wazi, pipho uKristi mwene iwefewa hutali.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Lakini hata thanyunu lwa lwunthi uMose sha manyilwa, lwawawazhe lukhala amwanya moyo gao.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Lelo umnthu pagoluhana wa Bwana, ulwa wanze lufewa.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Eeshi Bwana uhala. Apa pa linu hala wa Bwana, hubha nuwaushe.
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.
Eshi anthi nthi tubhepa palishimo na maso gasawanza ulwauweze tuula unthithwa uBwana. Tuwadhuhana mhathi shila shitukufu afume ubhutukufu afume engiga emo utukufu wa Bwana ya mwao, nashi shashishi afume Bwana, amashi pa Roho.
