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?
A buevi, tutona diaka kukitelimina kimbangi beto veka e? Voti tuba banga batu bankaka, tulunatinanga minkanda mi kimbangi voti minkanda mi kimbangi miomi mintotukila kuidi beno e?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Beno luidi nkandꞌeto wu kimbangi, wowo wusonama mu mintima mieto, wuzabikini ayi wuntangu kuidi batu boso.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Messiah, 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.
Bukiedika beno lummonika ti luidi nkanda wu Klisto, ndandu yi kisalu kieto. Nkanda beni wusia sonokono mu thita yi lapi ko, vayi mu pheve yi Nzambi yi moyo; wusia sonokono va mbata ditadi ko vayi mu khati mintima mi batu.
4 Such confidence we have through Messiah towards God,
Buawu bobo buididi diana diodi tuididi mu Klisto va ntuala Nzambi.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Bika sia ti beto veka tuidi bafuana mu sala kisalu kiaki vayi zingolo zioso kuidi Nzambi ziba.
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.
Niandi wutusadisa mu ba bafuana, mu ba bisadi bi Nguizani yimona. Nguizani beni yisi yi Mina ko vayi yi Pheve bila Mina mimvondanga vayi Pheve yivananga luzingu.
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,
Enati kisalu ki lufua, kioki kiba kisonama va matadi, kiba ki nkembo wuwombo mu mona ti bana ba Iseli balembakana nkutu tala zizi ki Moyize mu diambu di nkembo wu zizi kiandi, banza ti nkembo beni wufueti suka
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
Buna kisalu ki pheve kilendi vioka mu nkembo ko e?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Bila enati kisalu kioki kimvananga thumbudulu kiba ki nkembo, buna buevi buela bela nkembo wu kisalu kioki kinatanga busonga e?
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.
Bila beni kiba ayi nkembo, vayi buabu kisiedi nkembo ko va ntuala nkembo wowo wulutidi.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Bila enati kioki kilenda suka kiba ayi nkembo, buna buevi buelabela nkembo wu kioki kilendi suka ko e?
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Bu tuidi diana di phila yoyo buna diawu tuididi mu kiphuanza kinneni.
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.
Tuvanganga ko banga bu vangila Moyize, wufuka zizi kiandi muingi bana ba Iseli bedi tala tsukulu yi kioki kiela suka.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away.
Vayi diela diawu diba difuku. Bila banza nate buabu, bu bantanganga minkanda mi Nguizani yikhulu, nledi beni widi kaka wufuku; wusia botolo ko bila mu kithuadi ayi Klisto kaka wela botukila.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Bukiedika nate buabu, bu bantanganga minkanda mi Moyize, mintimamiawu midi mifuku kuidi nledi.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Vayi mutu niandi baluka kuidi Pfumu, buna bosi nledi beni wubotukidi.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Pfumu niandi pheve; koso kuidi pheve yi Pfumu kuawu kuidi kiphuanza.
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.
Beto boso bobo bizizi, bisi bifuku nledi ko, biobi bilembo monisa nkembo wu Pfumu banga mu lumueno, tukitulu mu mfikulꞌandi mu nkembo wulembo buelamanga. Kiaku kioki kisalu ki Pfumu; bu dinsundula kisalu ki Pheve.
