2 Kawrin 4
1 Hatdawkvah, maimouh teh a pahrennae coe e lahoi thaw tawk e lah o awh dawkvah, ka lungpout a hoeh.
Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
2 Maimouh ni arulahoi kaya ka tho e hnosakenaw pahnawt awh. Huenghai awm awh hoeh. Cathut lawk hai tami dum nahanlah pâpho a hoeh. Lawkkatang doeh kacairoecalah pâpho awh. Hottelah hoi Cathut hmalah, taminaw e thoehawi panuenae lungthin dawk mamouh hoi mamouh kamnue sak awh.
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 Maimouh ni pâpho e kamthang kahawi heh, ramuk lah awm pawiteh, rawknae dawk kaawm lahun e naw koe doeh ramuk lah awm tih.
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 Ahnimouh hoi ka kâkuen lah dei han tetpawiteh, Cathut e meilam lah kaawm e Khrih e bawilennae hoi kahawi e kamthang kahawi angnae hah, a hmu thai awh hoeh nahanlah het talai ka uk e cathut ni kayuemhoehnaw a lungmit a dawn sak pouh. (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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh ni mamae kong pâpho a hoeh. Khrih teh Bawi lah ao tie pâpho awh. Kaimouh roeroe heh Khrih hanlah, nangmae san lah ka o awh.
(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
6 Hmonae thungvah, angnae awmseh telah kâ ka poe e Cathut ni Jisuh Khrih minhmai ka ang e Cathut bawilennae hah, panue thai nahane raeng poe hanelah, maimae lungthin dawk a ang sak toe.
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 Hateiteh, a thaonae hno sakthainae teh, maimae nahoeh. Cathut amae lah ao dawkvah, a bahu a kamnue sak. Hote hno teh talai hlaam thung a ta teh maimouh dawk ao.
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 Maimanaw teh avoivang lahoi na ka tarawk nakunghai, thayoun awh hoeh. Kângairunae lah kaawm nakunghai, lungpout awh hoeh.
We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
9 Rektapnae kâhmo nakunghai, hnoun e lah awm awh hoeh. Rahim lah pabonae kâhmo nakunghai, poutnae koe phat awh hoeh.
pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
10 Bawipa Jisuh Khrih teh a hring tie heh, maimae tak dawkvah a kamnue sak hanelah, Khrih e duenae teh pout laipalah maimae tak dawk sin awh.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Khrih hringnae teh, maimae tak dawk kamnue thai nahanelah, Jisuh kecu dawk maimouh kahring e naw heh duenae kut dawk pout laipalah, poe e lah o awh.
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 Hatdawkvah, duenae ni maimouh dawk thaw a tawk teh, hringnae ni nangmouh dawk thaw a tawk.
Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
13 Ka yuem dawkvah, ka pâpho telah thut e patetlah yuemnae hoi ka kâkuen e Muitha hah maimouh ni tawn awh teh, maimouh hai yuem dawkvah pâpho awh.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jisuh ka thaw sak e Cathut ni maimouh hai Jisuh hoi rei na thaw sak teh, nangmouh hoi cungtalah a hmalah na thokhai han tie panue awh.
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 Hno cawngca pueng teh, nangmouh hane doeh. Hethateh, ahnimanaw koe, lungmanae hoe a pung teh Cathut e bawilennae kamnuesak nahanelah lunghawilawkdeinae teh hoe a kuep.
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 Hatdawkvah, kaimouh teh lungpout awh hoeh. Kaimae a lawi lae tami teh, ka kumcathuk nakunghai, thung lae tami teh hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh sak katha e lah pou ao.
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 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh ni dongdeng rucatnae khangnae naw ni maimouh hanlah a yungyoe bawilennae lah ao sak. (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 Hatdawkvah, maimouh teh hmu thai e hno khen awh hoeh. Hmu thai hoeh e hnonaw doeh khet awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh hmuthai e hnonaw teh dongdeng ca hanelah ao teh, hmuthaihoehe hnonaw teh a yungyoe a kangning. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
