2 Corinth 4
1 Tua ahikom kote in hi Pathian nasep sia hesuakna ka nga uh bang in nei ka hi uhkom in, ka thinkiam bua uh hi;
Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
2 Ahihang maizumhuai a kiphual nate zong ka vawksiat zo uh hi, thuman ngawl in ka nungta bua uh hi, taciang Pathian thu zong ngual theamna in ka zang bua uh hi; ahihang Pathian mai ah mi khatsim i sia le pha heakna sung ah, thuman ka kilangsak uh hi.
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 Ahihang ka lungdamna thupha uh sia phualseal in a omle, a mangthang te atu in ki phualseal hi:
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 Pathian lim le meal a hi Christ i lungdamna thupha a vanglian khuavak sia amate tung ah a tan thei ngawl natu in, hi leitung pathian in a um ngawl te thinsung mittawsak hi. (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 Banghangziam cile kote in koma thu ka hil bua uh hi, ahihang Topa Christ Jesus thu ka hil uh hi; taciang Jesus hang in kote sia note i naseam te ka hi uh hi.
(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
6 Banghangziam cile khuazing sung pan khuavak tangsak tu in thu a pia Pathian in, Jesus Christ maitang ah Pathian minthanna heakna le khuavak pia tu in kote i thinsung ah tangsak zo hi.
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 Ahihang a tuan in vangletna sia kote tung pan hi ngawl in, Pathian tung pan a hi zawk thei natu in, hi neisa sia leibeal te sung ah i nei hi.
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 Mun theampo pan in hong nawngkaisak napi, ka thin uh a ngim bua hi; ka lung uh a mang bua hi, ka lametna uh bo ngawl hi;
We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
9 Vawtsiatna ka thuak uh hang, hong ki taisan ngawl hi; hong ki khiaksuk hang siatsua ka hi bua uh hi;
pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
10 Ka pumpi uh Jesus nuntakna a kilang thei natu in, Topa Jesus thina sia ka pumpi uh ah ka pua tawntung uh hi.
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 Banghangziam cile a thi ka pumpi uh ah Jesus nuntakna a kilang thei natu in, ko a nungta te sia Jesus atu in thina sung ah tu le tu in ap na ka thuak uh hi.
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 Tua ahikom kote sung ah thina in naseam hi, ahihang note sung ah nuntakna in naseam hi.
Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
13 Ka up hu in ka pau hi, ci in a ki atkholsa bang in, kote zong tua upna thaa ka nei uh hi; tua ahikom kote zong ka up uh hu in ka pau uh hi;
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 Topa Jesus a thokiksak pa in kote zong Jesus tungtawn in hong thokiksak tu a, note taw Ama kung ah hong koi tu hi, ci ka he uh hi.
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 Banghangziam cile na theampo sia note atu a hihi, tabang in a dimlet thuthiamna sia mi tampi te lungdamko na tungtawn in Pathian minthanna khang seseam tu hi.
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 Tua thu hang in thinkiam ngawl khu hi; ka puasang pumpi uh a mangthang tazong, ka sungsang uh sia nikhat zawk nikhat ki puapha hi.
Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.
17 Banghangziam cile ka haksatna a zaang mama sia tawmvei atu hi a, tua in a ngit mama a tuanngen tawntung minthanna suaksak hi; (aiōnios g166)
For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 A kimu thei nate ka en bua uh hi, ahihang a ki mu thei ngawl nate ka en zaw uh hi: banghangziam cile a ki mu thei nate sia tawmvei atu a hihi; ahihang a ki mu thei ngawl nate sia tawntung atu a hihi. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
