2 Corinthians 4
1 THEREFORE seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
Aa kanao anay o fitoroñañe zao, ie niferenaiñañe, le tsy mamoe’ay.
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
Toe rarà’ay ze sata naetake ty amy hasalara’ey; tsy mipiapia am-pamañahiañe vaho tsy mengohe’ay o tsaran’ Añahareo, fe am-palangesañe ty hatò ro anolora’ay vatañe mb’am-pitsakorea’ ze hene ondaty am-pivazohoan’ Añahare.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
Aa naho toe mikolopoke ty talili-soa’ay, le mikolopoke amo mikoromakeo,
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
fa nampigoa’ ty ndrañaharen-tsa toy ty fivetsevetse’ o tsi-miantokeo, tsy hahaisake ty fireandrea’ ty talili-soan’ enge’ i Norizañey, i vintan’ Añaharey. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Tsy ty vata’ay ro taroñe’ay, fa Iesoà Norizañey ho Talè, le zahay ro fetrek’oro’ areo ty am’ Iesoà.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
I Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe: Hipasasàke amo ieñeo ty zava ro mampireandreañe añ’arofo’ay ao i hazavam-paharendrehañe ty engen’ Añahare mitapasàke an-dahara’ Iesoà Norizañey.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Ie ty vara’ay mihaja an-tsajoa-tane ao, hampidodea te boak’ aman’ Añahare ty hara’elahi’ i haozarañey fa tsy hirik’ ama’ay.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Mañarikatoke anay ty famorekekeañe, fe tsy demoke; malovilovy, fe tsy mamoe aiñe,
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
samporeraheñe fa tsy naforintseñe; zinevo, fa tsy rotsake—
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
nainai’e endese’ay am-batañe ty havilasi’ Iesoà, soa te halange an-tsandri’ay ka ty havelo’ Iesoà.
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
Le nainai’e seseheñe havetrake ty amy Iesoà zahay veloñeo, soa te hiboak’ an-tsandri’ay mora mihomakeo ka ty havelo’ Iesoà.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
Aa le mitromake ama’ay ao ty fihomahañe, le ama’areo ty haveloñe.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Manahake ty nisokirañe ty hoe: Niantoke iraho, vaho nivolañe, Toe miato ka zahay nampatokisa’ i Arofoy vaho mitaroñe,
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
fohiñe te i Nampitroatse i Talè Iesoày ro hampitroatse anay miharo amy Iesoà ka, vaho hampiatrefe’e mitraoke ama’ areo zahay.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
Inahareo ty nanoañe i he’e rezay, soa t’ie fa niboele ami’ty maro ty hasoa le handopatse ho ami’ty engen’ Añahare ty fañandriañañe.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Aa le tsy milesa zahay, fa ndra te mihamomoke ty sandri’ay alafe’e, mihavao boak’ andro ty an-tro’ay ao.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Le i hasotriañe maivañe tsy maremaretse toiy ro mamokatse engeñe tsy ri’e mavesatse tsy amañ’ohatse. (aiōnios g166)
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Le tsy o isam-pihainoo ty biribirie’ay fa o tsy isakeo, amy te mihelañe o raha isakeo, fe tsy ho modo nainai’e o tsy isam-pihainoo. (aiōnios g166)
