2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
Pamhnama m’yeneinak am ahina khutbi a jah peta kyase, kami ktha am se.
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.
Angthupnaka bilawha khyakeinak kami yawk hütki. Hleihlaknak am bilo u lü, Pamhnama ngthu khyang mhleinak vaia am kami biloki; ngthungtak ksingsak u lü, Pamhnama hmuha khyang naküta ngaiha dawnak va kami biloki.
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Kami sanga thangkdaw thupa akya üng pi khyükaki hea phäha ni thupa akya ve.
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)
Acukba am jummeiki he cun khawmdek mhnama johit naw ami ksingnak nghmüp khui üng a jah thupa phäha kyaki. Ami khana vaikia akvai, thangkdaw üngka naw lawkia Khritawa hlüngtainak cun amät Pamhnam kunga tängpüi, ami hmuhnak thei üngka naw Khawmdek mhnam naw a jah thupa kyaki. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Kami mäta mawngma am pyen u nawng, Jesuh Khritaw Bawia a kyanak la Jesuha phäha m'ya kami kyanaka mawng ni kami pyen ve.
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.
Jesuh Khritawa hmai üng Pamhnama hlüngtainak, ksingnaka akvai, vainak jah pe khaia, “Nghmüp üngka akvai vai law khai,” tikia Pamhnam kung naw mi mlungmthin he üng akvai vai lawsaki.
7 Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
Cunsepi khyaihnak cun mimi üngka am kya lü, Pamhnama vei üngka akyanak a ngdangnak vaia, acuna ngmüimkhya khawh cun mdek k’am üng mi taki.
8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
Ahmäi üng ami jah mkhuimkha, cunsepi am kami mhmüiki; kami mlung naki, cunsepi kami mlung am uplat ve;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
kami ye daki, cunsepi kami püi he awmki he; ami jah mkhuimkha, cunsepi am kami pyehki;
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.
kami pumsa üng Jesuha xünnak angdangnak vaia, Jesuha thihnak kami pumsa üng angläta kami phüiki.
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.
Isetiakyaküng, thi theikia kami pumsa üng Jesuha xünnak angdangnak thei vaia, kami xün k'um üng Jesuha phäha thi khai hlawka ami jah pawh khawi.
12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Acunakyase, thihnak naw keimi üng khutbi bi se, xünnak naw nangmi üng khutbi biki.
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,
Cangcim üng, “Ka juma phäha ngthu ka pyenki” tia a ng’yuka kba, acuna ngmüimkhya jumnak bä am keimi naw pi kami pyenki.
14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
Bawipa Jesuh mtho bekia Pamhnam naw keimi pi Jesuh mah maha jah mtho be lü, nangmi am atänga a veia jah cehpüi khai tia kami ksingki.
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.
Avan hin nangmia phäha ni; Pamhnama bäkhäknak cun khyang khawjaha veia apha üng, Pamhnama hlüngtainak cun ktaiyü lü jenak pyen khai he.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Acunakyase kami mlung ktha am se, kami kpung lam khyang pyehpyam sepi kami ngmüimkhya khyang cun amhmüp tä se pyang be kthai laih laiha kyaki.
17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison. (aiōnios g166)
Am mawngkia kami khuikhanak, atuh asäng khuikhanak kami kham hin naw dämduh lü angläta hlüngtainak law püi khai. Acun cun atuh mi khameia kthaka däm säihki. (aiōnios g166)
