2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.
ulwakuva uNguluve mu lusungu lwake atupeliile imbombo iji, natudendevuka.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
ulwene, tukanile lwoni kuvomba isa kuvusyefu inya sooni. nambe natukuvasyanga avaanhu, nambe kuhasing'hania ilisio lya Nguluve nu vudesi. looli, tujova uvwa kyang'haani pa vuvalafu, neke avaanhu vooni vakagule mu moojo ghaave kuuti tuli va kyang'haani pa maaso gha Nguluve.
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
neke nave iMhola inofu jino tupulikisie jisighile kuvoneka, jiiva jisighilue ku vano visova.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
ulwakuva kusalula vavuo, uSetano juno ghwe m'baha ghwa iisi iji, akupile uluhala lwa vanonavikumwitika u Yeesu. wimila uvuo, vikunua kukulwagha ulumuli ulwa Mhola inofu ija vuvaha vwa Kilisite, juno ghwe kihwani kya Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
5 For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
ulwakuva usue natupulisia imhola siitu, looli tupulusia kuuti, uYeesu Kilisite ghwe Mutwa, najusue tulivavombi viinu mulwa kum'bombela uYeesu.
6 seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
ulwakuva uNguluve ghwe mwene juno alyatiile, ulumuli lulimulika kuhuma mung'hiisi, ghwe mwene imulika amoojo ghiitu, na kukutupeela kukagula uvuvaha vwake vuno vuvalatika ku maaso gha Yeesu Kilisite.
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
usue twe vano tuli ndavule ifikog'holo fya nhapo, tupelilue ulumuli uluo, neke likagulike kuuti, ingufu imbaha isa kuvomba imbombo ijio na siitu, sihuma kwa Nguluve.
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
sikutuvona imhumhuko sino sili papinga, neke natulemua, tuuva ni ng'haani ng'haani, neke natufua umwojo.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
avaanhu vikutupumusia, neke uNguluve naikutuleka tweveene, vikututwasia paasi, neke natufua.
10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
ifighono fyooni amavili ghiitu ghali mulutalamu ulwa kufua ndavule uYeesu kuuti uvwumi vwa Yesu vuvoneke mu mavili ghiitu.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
ulwakuva usue twe vano tuli vwuumi, jaatu tuli mu lutalamu ulwa kufua vwimila uYesu kuuti, uvwumi vwake vuvoneke mu mavili ghiitu ghano ghifua.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
vwimila uluo, usue tuli mu lutalamu ulwa kufua, mu uluo umue mukava vwumi.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
mu malembe amimike ghalembilue amasio ghano ghiiti, nilyamwitike uNguluve fyenambe nilyajovile. najusue tui nu lwitiko ndavule uluo. fyenambe tujova.
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
tukagwile kuuti uNguluve juno alyansusisie uMutwa uYesu ilikutusyusia na jusue. ulwene ilikutuviika palikimo numue, kuuti tukale nu Yesu.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
lino, imhumhuko sooni tukwupila vwimila umue, kuuti ulusungu lwa Nguluve luvafikie avaanhu vinga, neke vamuhongesyaghe fiijo uNguluve. mu uluo uNguluve ighinisivua.
16 Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
lino natudendevuka, nambe amavili ghiitu ghisakala, looli, n'kate mumoojo ghiitu. UNguluve ikutupela kuuva vapia ifighono fyoni.
17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, (aiōnios g166)
ulwakuva ulupumuko lwitu lupepe, kange lwa n'siki n'debe vuvule. ulupumuko uluo lukutuling'hanikisia uvuvaha uvwa kuvusila kusila. uvuvaha uvuo vukome kukila, vukutupelela kuvona imhumhuko isi nakiinu. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
ulwakuva natulola vwimila ifinu fino fivoneka, ulwene vwimila ifinu fino nafivoneka. ifinu fino fivoneka fya n'siki n'debe vuvule, looli fino nafivoneka fya jaatu. (aiōnios g166)
