2 Corinthians 4
1 Because of this, having this ministry, according as we received kindness, we do not faint,
Kaicae loe hae baktih toksahkung ah a oh o moe, palungnathaih a hnuk o pongah, tha a zok o ai;
2 but renounced for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every conscience of men, before God;
tamquta hoi sak ih azat kathok hmuennawk to ka takhoe o moe, minawk aling han poek angkawnhaih hoiah Sithaw lok ka thui o ai; minawk mah ang tang o thai hanah, loktang lok to ni ka thuih o, tito Sithaw mah panoek.
3 and if our good news is also veiled, it is veiled in those perishing,
Ka thuih o ih kahoih tamthanglok to hawk o ving cadoeh, anghmaa angtaa kaminawk hanah ni hawk o tih:
4 in whom the god of this age blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that there does not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (aiōn g165)
Sithaw krang ah kaom, Kri lensawkhaih kahoih tamthanglok aanghaih to, nihcae mah hnuk o thai han ai ah, hae long sithaw mah katang ai kaminawk ih palung to maengsak. (aiōn g165)
5 for we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus—LORD, and [we are] ourselves your servants because of Jesus;
Kaicae loe kaimacae koeh ah lok ka thui o ai, Kri Jesu loe Angraeng ah ohhaih kawng hoi Jesu pongah kaicae loe nangcae ih tamna ah ka oh o haih kawng to ni ka taphong o.
6 because [it is] God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who shined in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Sithaw mah, Kaving thung hoiah aanghaih om nasoe, tiah lokpaek. Sithaw lensawkhaih loe Jesu Kri ah oh, tiah na panoek thai hanah, aicae palung thungah aanghaih to paek.
7 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us,
Toe lensawk thacakhaih loe kaicae ih na ai ni, Sithaw khae hoiah ni angzoh, kaicae loe long laom thungah suek ih tacong baktiah ni ka oh o.
8 being in tribulation in every [way], but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;
Ahmuen kruekah raihaih ka tongh o, toe kam ro o ai; anghmanghaih hoiah kho ka sak o, toe palung ka boeng o ai;
9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
pacaekthlaekhaih ka tongh o, toe ka toengh o sut ai; kam timh o, toe kam ro o ai;
10 at all times carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body,
Jesu hinghaih kaicae takpum nuiah amtueng thai toeng hanah, Angraeng Jesu duekhaih kawng to takpum ah ka phawh o poe.
11 for we who are living are always delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our dying flesh,
Kadueh thaih kaicae taksa ah Jesu hinghaih amtueng thai hanah, kahing kaicae loe Jesu Kri pongah duek hanah danpaekhaih ka tongh o toepsoep.
12 so that, death indeed works in us, and life in you.
To tiah duekhaih mah kaicae thungah toksak, toe nangcae thungah loe hinghaih mah toksak.
13 And having the same spirit of faith, according to that which has been written: “I believed, therefore I spoke”; we also believe, therefore we also speak;
Ka tang pongah, ka thuih, tiah tarik ih oh; to baktih tanghaih palung to ka tawnh o, tanghaih ka tawnh o pongah, ka thuih o;
14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present [us] with you,
Sithaw mah Angraeng Jesu duekhaih thung hoiah pathawk baktih toengah, kaicae doeh Jesu rang hoiah pathawk ueloe, nangcae hoi nawnto angmah hmaa ah na caeh haih tih, tiah ka panoek o.
15 for all things [are] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God;
Paroeai kaminawk mah Sithaw tahmenhaih to panoek o moe, Sithaw lensawkhaih pakoeh o thai hanah, hmuennawk boih nangcae han ih ni oh.
16 for this reason, we do not faint, but if our outward man also decays, yet the inward is renewed day by day;
To pongah tha ka zok o ai; a nui kaom taksa kami hae amro cadoeh, a thungah kaom kami loe ni thokkruek kangtha ah oh.
17 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation works out for us more and more an exceedingly continuous weight of glory— (aiōnios g166)
Atue setta thung a tongh o ih tetta pacaekthlaekhaih mah, aicae hanah kahoih parai, dungzan lensawkhaih to ohsak; (aiōnios g166)
18 we [are] not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] continuous. (aiōnios g166)
to pongah kaicae loe kamtueng hmuennawk to ka dan o ai, kamtueng ai hmuennawk to ni ka dan o: ka hnuk o ih hmuennawk loe nawnetta hanah ni oh; toe hnuk ai ih hmuennawk loe dungzan khoek to cak poe. (aiōnios g166)
