< 2 Corinthians 4 >
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
Ngarud, gapu ta adda kadakami daytoy a trabaho ti Apo, ken kas nakaaawatkami ti asi, saankami a maupay.
2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
Ngem ketdi, imbabawimi dagiti wagas a nakababain ken nailemmeng. Saankami nga agbiag babaen iti kinasikap, ken saanmi nga usaren iti saan a nasayaat ti sao ti Dios. Babaen ti panangiparangmi iti kinapudno, iparangmi ti bagabagimi iti konsensia ti amin, iti imatang ti Dios.
3 Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
Ngem no nadalungdongan ti ebangheliomi, nadalungdongan laeng daytoy kadagidiay mapukpukaw.
4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of God. (aiōn )
Iti kasasaadda, binulsek ti dios daytoy a lubong dagiti saan a mamatmati a panpanunotda. Kas pagbanaganna, saanda a makita ti silaw iti ebanghelio iti dayag ni Cristo, nga isu ti ladawan ti Dios. (aiōn )
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Messiah Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
Ta saanmi nga iwarwaragawag dagiti bagbagimi, ngem ni Cristo Jesus a kas Apo, ken iwarwaragawagmi dagiti bagbagimi a kas adipenyo maipaay kenni Jesus.
6 For it is God, who spoke for light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Messiah.
Ta ti Dios ti nangibaga, “Agraniag ti silaw manipud iti kasipngetan.” Nagraniag isuna kadagiti puspusomi, tapno mangted ti silaw iti pannakaammo iti dayag ti Dios iti presensia ni Jesu-Cristo.
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
Ngem adda kadakami daytoy a gameng a naikabil kadagiti burburnay a naaramid iti pitak, tapno nalawag a ti aglaplapusanan a naindaklan a pannakabalin ket kukua ti Dios ken saan a kadakami.
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
Naparigatkami iti amin a wagas ngem saankami a naparmek. Nariribukkami ngem saankami a napno iti ladingit.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
Naidadaneskami ngem saankami a nabaybay-an. Natuangkami ngem saankami a nadadael.
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Kanayon a bakbaklayenmi iti bagimi ti ipapatay ni Jesus, tapno ti biag ni Jesus ket maipakita met kadagiti bagbagimi.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
Dakami a sibibiag ket kanayon a maiyaw-awat iti patay gapu kenni Jesus, tapno ti biag ni Jesus ket maipakita kadagiti bagbagimi.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
Gapu iti daytoy, ti patay ket agtrabtrabaho kadakami, ngem ti biag ket agtrabtrabaho kadakayo.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
Ngem adda kadatayo ti isu met laeng nga espiritu ti pammati kas iti naisurat. “Namatiak ket isu a nagsao-ak.” Mamatikami met, ket isu nga agsaokami met.
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
Ammomi a ti nangpaungar kenni Apo Jesus ket pagungarennakaminto met a kaduana. Ammomi nga itugotnakaminto a kaduadakayo iti presensiana.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Maipaay amin dagitoy a banbanag iti pagimbaganyo tapno, kas maiwaras ti parabur kadagiti adu a tattao, mabalin nga umadu ti panagyaman iti dayag ti Dios.
16 Therefore we do not become discouraged, but even though our outer nature is wearing away, yet our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
Isu a saankami a maup-upay. Uray pay madaddadaelkami iti akinruar, iti akin-uneg, mapabpabarokami iti inaldaw.
17 For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios )
Ta daytoy nga agdama, ti nalag-an a panagrigat ket isagsagananakami para iti dakkel ken agnanayon a dayag a lumabes iti amin a pangrukodan. (aiōnios )
18 while we do not look 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 everlasting. (aiōnios )
Ta saankami nga agur-uray kadagiti banbanag a makita ngem kadagiti banbanag a saan a makita. Dagiti makitatayo a banbanag ket saan nga agpa-ut ngem dagiti saan a makita a banbanag ket agpa-ut iti agnanayon. (aiōnios )
