2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,
Nkinkako, nkambo tuli amulimu oyu alimwi mbuli mbutwakatambula luzyalo, tatusiki mukutyompwa.
2 but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;
Pesi, twakakkaka nsiswa anzila zyabusu. Tatwendi mububumbwe mpawo tatujati bubi pe ijwi lyaLeza akupedekezya kasimpe, twalizumizya tobeni kuliwonse mbwamvwa kubbazu lyaLeza.
3 and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it is vailed,
Pesi na esu makani avumbwa, avumbidwe kupela kulibabo balimukunyonyoka.
4 in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn g165)
Mukambo kabo, baLeza bayeyi nyika bawofwazya ikutasyoma kwamizezo. Nkambo kambubobu, tabakonzyi kubona mumuni wamakani mabotu abulemu bwaKkilisito, ulichikozyanyo chaLeza. (aiōn g165)
5 for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus — Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
Nkambo tatuli lungululi tobeni, pesi KkilisitoJesu mbuliMwami mpawo swebo mbuli babelesi banu nkambo kaJesu.
6 because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Lino Leza nguwenya wakati, “Mumuni oyu munika mumudima.” Wakatondezya mumyoyo yesu kupa mumuni waluzibo lwabuna Leza mubuliwo bwaJesu Kkilisito.
7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;
Pesi tuli abuvubi muchibikilo chanongo, Kuchitila kuti kuboneke nguzu zyindilide mpati nzizyaLeza pepe kulindiswe.
8 on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;
Twapenzegwa munzila zyoonse, pesi pepe kuzundwa. Twakanyonganisigwa pesi pepe akuzuzigwa akupupulwa.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Twapenzegwa pesi pepe kusiyigwa, twakasowelwa pesi pepe kunyonyoka.
10 at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,
Lyoonse katubwezede mulindiswe mumibili yalufu lwaJesu, kuchitila kuti bumi bwaJesu alubo bukayubununwe mumibili yesu.
11 for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,
Kulindiswe nitupona twakapedekezegwa kulufu nkaambo kaJesu kuchitila kuti buumi bwaJesu buyubununwe mumubili wesu wanyama.
12 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you.
Lino lufu luli amilimu mulindiswe pesi buumi buli amilimu mulindinywe.
13 And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;
Pesi tuli amuuya omwe walusyomo mbuli echo chakalembedwe: “Ndasyoma, alubo ndamba.” Alubo tulasyoma aboobo tulamba.
14 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you,
Nkambo tulizi oyo wakabusya Mwami Jesu alubo andiswe oyo uyotubusya amwi aJesu mpawo akutweta antomwe mubuliwo bwakwe.
15 for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
Kulizyoonse nkambo kandinywe kuchitila luzyalo kuti lusikile kuliboonse bantu bachite kulumbayizya kuyungizigwe kubulemu bwaLeza.
16 wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
Lino tatwelede kuba batyompwa. Nikuba kuti chanze tulikuswekelwa, chamukati tulabukuluka buzuba abuzuba.
17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us — (aiōnios g166)
Echi chiyezyo mapenzi mawubawuba alikutubambila butamani bundemenene bwabulemu obo bwindilila zyoonse zyelesyo. (aiōnios g166)
18 we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] age-during. (aiōnios g166)
Lino tatulangililwi kuzintu ezyo zibonwa pesi kuzintu zitabonwi. Zintu ezi nzitubona zilamana, pesi zintu zitabonwi tazimani. (aiōnios g166)
