2 Korinthians 4
1 To nayin, kiti hidima wa bi kpa nita ikon jinka, kina bir yo surna.
Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
2 Maimako naki kpabu ni nko wha a hei ni shan whu kurin kina ti rayuwa makarci ki na tin tra Rji ni mure. ki tin dindi, ni nun tunbu ni sur ko ahei ni shishi Rji.
Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.
3 Wu hla tra Rjibu anh kaika, anh nika ne bin ba kasurtun.
If, however, the meaning of our Good News has been veiled, the veil has been on the hearts of those who are on the way to perdition,
4 Ni min surna iji wu gbugblu a mhrin fwen surba bi wa ba ha ma niti dindi. idima ba na ya ton kpeni tre Rji na bresa Almasihu nah wawu yi a surar Rji. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this present age has blinded their unbelieving minds so as to shut out the sunshine of the Good News of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
5 Ta naki, ki ban tumbu hi ni kahlan aman Almasihu Yesu a matsayin Baci, ki granba nitun Yesu.
(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
6 Ga Rji wha a tre “Ikpan wa ni kpa wawu ni me bulu ani kpa ne min surbu da no kpa niton gbrenRji san. ne shishi Yesu Almasihu.
For God who said, "Out of darkness let light shine," is He who has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory, which is radiant on the face of Christ.
7 Ki ha ni won ni min gbula, wa a ni hei a bayane wa afimeni meba ni tin Rji ba wu bunba.
But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not to originate in us.
8 Anh ni shayah ni ko ta ingon reni, bana rinta na rebemi na ki karbi shishi, tun naki kinana chun ni sur buna ba nota yah aman a na sorta lebga na.
We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
9 Ba' nota yah, ama ba na ti meme na.
pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
10 Kita cacu ki ba kyu yesu ni kpanbu don di tsrota bayani rayuwa Yesu ni kpanbu.
always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.
11 Bi bi yah ba hei sesar (ko ivren) cha chun ba mika ta ga kyu ni tun Yesu ni tren Yesu ahei ne kpa, bu wu kyu.
For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.
12 To wa yi sa ki kyu ni tin dun nikpanbu, naki ivre ni tindun ni kpanbu.
Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
13 Ki hei ni ruhu wu tin dindi na dan ba nhai min khanye ni wu ni furta 'kinto kin kbanye kin nzi lah naki.
But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, "I believed, and therefore I have spoken," we also believe, and therefore we speak.
14 Kiton ndi wa zun Yesu titin ni men bu ani zun ta ni Yesu ken tan ana gabatar ni ta na ni biyin ni ko shishi.
For we know that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own presence.
15 Kpen ati don bi yin ya dan ba baza alheri ni adi bi ba bran gren ni kara bran ni gbren Rji san.
For everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.
16 Kena fin ni surba na ko nita kina timeme na ki ta sarkpanbu chuchu.
Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.
