2 Kawrin 4
1 Te dongah mamih ng'rhen tih bibi n'dang uh he n'thathae pawh.
Therefore, since we have received mercy along with this ministry, we do not lose heart.
2 Tedae yahkoi kah olhuep te n'thaek uh coeng. Pathen kah olka he rhaithinah neh pongpa pawt tih a tuengkhuep moenih. Tedae oltak kah a phoenah lamloh Pathen hmaiah neh hlang rhoek kah mingcimnah cungkuem dongah mah neh mah n'oep uh coeng.
Rather, we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in deception nor falsifying the Word of God, but by the open proclamation of the Truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.
3 Tedae mamih kah olthangthen he muekdah la om ngawn cakhaw aka paci rhoek taengah ni muekdah laa om.
So where our Gospel has actually been concealed, it has been hidden from those who are being wasted,
4 Ta kumhal kah pathen tah amih ah om tih aka tangnahmueh rhoek kah poeknah te a dael sak. Te vaengah Khrih thangpomnah olthangthen kah khoval te aa voelpawh. Amah tah Pathen kah mueimae ni. (aiōn g165)
among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them. (aiōn g165)
5 Kamamih kawng pawt tih Jesuh Khrih Boeipa ni ka hoe uh. Jesuh kongah kaimih khaw nangmih sal la ka omuh.
Now we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Sovereign, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;
6 Pathen loh a thui dongah vangnah tah yinnah lamloh ha vang. Amah loh Jesuh Khrih kah maelhmai neh Pathen kah thangpomnah, mingnah khoval te mamih thinko ah a sae sak.
because the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness is He who shined in our hearts to give the light that comes from the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Hekah khohrhang he diklai hno dongah tah ng'khueh uh coeng. Te daengah ni thaomnah dongkah a puehkan tah Pathen kah koe la om vetih mamih kah la a om pawt eh.
Further, we have this treasure in jars of clay, so that this all-surpassing power may be of God and not from ourselves
8 A cungkuem loh n'lawn uh dae ka khawk uh moenih. Ka ingang uh dae a tal uh moenih.
—we are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Hnaemtaek dae m'phap moenih. N'tloeng sut dae m'paci uh moenih.
persecuted, yet not abandoned; knocked down, but not out;
10 Jesuh kah dueknah he pum dongah puet m'phueih daengah ni Jesuh kah hingnah loh mamih pum dongah a phoe van eh.
always carrying about in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
11 Mamih aka hing rhoek tah Jesuh kongah dueknah taengah m'voeih taitu. Te daengah ni Jesuh kah hingnah long khaw aka duek thai mamih pumsa dongah a phoe eh.
For we, the living, are always being handed over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
12 Te dongah dueknah loh kaimih ah, hingnah loh nangmih ah pongthoo coeng.
So then, death is at work in us, but life in you.
13 Tangnah mueihla amah te aka khueh long tah a daek tangtae bangla ka tangnah tih ka thui. Kaimih loh ka tangnah uh dongah ka thui uh bal.
Now since we have the same spirit of faith, just like it is written, “I believed; therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,
14 Boeipa Jesuh te thoo tila ming uh. Kaimih khaw Jesuh neh n'thoh vetih nangmih taengah m'pai sak ni.
knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us through Jesus and present us together with you.
15 A cungkuem he nangmih ham ni. Te daengah ni lungvatnah loh uemonah te muep a pungtai sak vetih Pathen kah thangpomnah te a baetawt eh.
So all this is for your benefit, so that the grace that has spread through the many may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Te dongah n'thathae uh pawh. Mamih kah poenghman hlang tah poci ngawn mai cakhaw mamih kaha khui tah a hnin hnin ah tlaihvong uh.
Therefore we do not lose heart—even though our outer man is wasting away, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day—
