< 2 Corinthians 4 >

1 Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
To nayin, kiti hidima wa bi kpa nita ikon jinka, kina bir yo surna.
2 Instead, we have renounced secret and shameful ways. We do not practice deceit, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by open proclamation of the truth, we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
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.
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Wu hla tra Rjibu anh kaika, anh nika ne bin ba kasurtun.
4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
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)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Ta naki, ki ban tumbu hi ni kahlan aman Almasihu Yesu a matsayin Baci, ki granba nitun Yesu.
6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
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.
7 Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
Ki ha ni won ni min gbula, wa a ni hei a bayane wa afimeni meba ni tin Rji ba wu bunba.
8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
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.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
Ba' nota yah, ama ba na ti meme na.
10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Kita cacu ki ba kyu yesu ni kpanbu don di tsrota bayani rayuwa Yesu ni kpanbu.
11 For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body.
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.
12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
To wa yi sa ki kyu ni tin dun nikpanbu, naki ivre ni tindun ni kpanbu.
13 And in keeping with what is written: “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,
Ki hei ni ruhu wu tin dindi na dan ba nhai min khanye ni wu ni furta 'kinto kin kbanye kin nzi lah naki.
14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
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.
15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may overflow in thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
Kpen ati don bi yin ya dan ba baza alheri ni adi bi ba bran gren ni kara bran ni gbren Rji san.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Kena fin ni surba na ko nita kina timeme na ki ta sarkpanbu chuchu.
17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison. (aiōnios g166)
Wu to vin yah mu ni vin ma ani mlatati hi ga nanyi madawami gbren wa a wuce tsra ya. (aiōnios g166)
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Kena yan kpe wa ki to ba ni kpe wa kina to bana ni kpen wa kin ya ton ba ni kpe ki ya to ba na dawamba kpe wa ki na ya to na dawamimi ne. (aiōnios g166)
