2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
Hiza, Xoossay ba maarotethan ha oosuwa nuus immida gisho, nuuni ufayssi qanxoko.
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.
Nuuni yeellaya geema ooso ubbaa aggida; gene ooso oothoko; Xoossaa qaala worddora walakkoko. Tumaa qonccen haasayishe, asa ubbaa kahay nuna ekkana mela Xoossaa sinthan nuna shiishoos.
3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing;
Nu odiya Wonggelay geemmidabaa gidikkoka, geemmiday dhayo bolla de7iya asaassa.
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 Good News of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Ha alamiya haariya xoossay ammanonna asaa wozanaa goozis. Entti Xoossaa mela gidida Kiristtoosa bonchcho Wonggelaa poo7uwa be7onna mela diggis. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves because of Jesus.
Nuuni, Yesuus Kiristtoosi Goda gideyssanne nu iya gisho hintte oosanchcho gideyssa odoosippe attin nubaa odokko.
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 Christ.
“Dhuman poo7oy poo7o” gida Xoossay, Kiristtoosa som77uwan poo7iya Xoossaa bonchchuwa eraa poo7uwa immanaw ba poo7uwa nu wozanan poo7isis.
7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.
Shin ubbaafe aadhdhiya wolqqay nubaa gidonnashin, Xoossabaa gideyssa bessanaw ha bonchcho shaloy meqqa miishe gidida nu asatethan de7ees.
8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
Nu ubba baggarakka waayettida, shin meqerettibookko. Nuus haddirssi gidis, shin ufayssi qanxibookko.
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
Nu, morkketan goodettida, shin lagge dhayibookko. Nu morkketan shocettidi kunddida, shin dhayibookko.
10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Yesuusa de7oy nu asatethan qonccana mela iya hayquwa ubba wode nu asatethan tookkidi yuuyoos.
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.
Yesuusa de7oy hayqqiya nu asatethan qonccana mela paxa de7iya nuuni iya gisho, ubba wode hayqos aadhdhidi imettoos.
12 So then death works in us, but life in you.
Hiza, hayqoy nunan oothiya wode de7oy hinttenan oothees.
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;
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Ta ammanas; hessa gisho haasayas” yaagettis. Hessa mela ammanoy nuus de7iya gisho haasayos.
14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
Godaa Yesuusa hayquwappe denthida Xoossay, nunakka Yesuusara hayquwappe denthanayssanne hinttera issife ba sinthe shiishanayssa eroos.
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.
Hessi ubbay haniday hintte gishossa. Xoossaa aadho keehatethay daro asaa gakkiya wode asay Xoossaa bonchchuwas daro galataa immana.
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.
Hessa gisho, nuuni ufayssi qanxoko. Nu benttiya asatethay daaburishe biyabaa gidikkoka, nu ayyaana asatethay gallas gallas ooraxees.
17 For this momentary light affliction is working for us a far more exceeding and everlasting weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Ha77is nuuni waayettiya ha kawushsha waayey, ubbaafe keehi gitatiya merinaa bonchchuwa nuus immisana. (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
Nuuni benttiyabaa gidonnashin, benttonnabaa xeellos. Benttiyabay ha77issa, shin benttonnabay merinaassa. (aiōnios g166)
