2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, since God in His mercy has given us this ministry, we do not lose heart.
Te dongah mamih ng'rhen tih bibi n'dang uh he n'thathae pawh.
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.
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.
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
Tedae mamih kah olthangthen he muekdah la om ngawn cakhaw aka paci rhoek taengah ni muekdah laa om.
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)
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)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Kamamih kawng pawt tih Jesuh Khrih Boeipa ni ka hoe uh. Jesuh kongah kaimih khaw nangmih sal la ka omuh.
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.
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.
7 Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.
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.
8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
A cungkuem loh n'lawn uh dae ka khawk uh moenih. Ka ingang uh dae a tal uh moenih.
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
Hnaemtaek dae m'phap moenih. N'tloeng sut dae m'paci uh moenih.
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.
Jesuh kah dueknah he pum dongah puet m'phueih daengah ni Jesuh kah hingnah loh mamih pum dongah a phoe van eh.
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.
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.
12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Te dongah dueknah loh kaimih ah, hingnah loh nangmih ah pongthoo coeng.
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,
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.
14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.
Boeipa Jesuh te thoo tila ming uh. Kaimih khaw Jesuh neh n'thoh vetih nangmih taengah m'pai sak ni.
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.
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.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.
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.
