2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart.
NO ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai o keia oihana ia makou ma ka lokomaikaiia mai, aole o makou manaka.
2 No, we have renounced the secrecy prompted by shame, refusing to adopt crafty ways, or to tamper with God’s message, and commending ourselves to everyone’s conscience, in the sight of God, by our exhibition of the truth.
Aka, ua kipaku aku makou i na mea huna e hilahila ai, aole makou i hele me ka maalea, aole hoi i nana i ka olelo a ke Akua me ka hoopunipuni; aka, ma ka hoakaka ana'ku i ka oiaio, ke hoike nei makou ia makou iho i na naau a pau o kanaka, he pono imua o ke Akua.
3 And, even if the good news that we bring is veiled, it is veiled only in the case of those who are on the path to ruin –
A i uhiia ka makou euanelio, ua uhiia oia no ka poe e lilo ana i ka make.
4 people whose minds have been blinded by the God of this age, unbelievers as they are, so that the light from the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the incarnation of God, should not shine for them. (aiōn g165)
Ma o lakou la, ua hoomakapo mai ko keia ao akua i na naau o ka poe hoomaloka, o akaka mai auanei ia lakou ka malamalama o ka euanelio nani a Kristo; oia ko ke Akua mea like. (aiōn g165)
5 (For it is not ourselves that we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.)
No ka mea, aole makou e hai aku ia makou iho, aka, ia Kristo Iesu i ka Haku: a ia makou iho he mau kauwa na oukou no Iesu.
6 Indeed, the same God who said “Out of darkness light will shine,” has shone in on our hearts, so that we should bring out into the light the knowledge of the glory of God, seen in the face of Christ.
No ka mea, o ke Akua nana i kena ka malamalama e poha mai noloko mai o ka pouli, oia ka i hoomalamalama mai iloko o ko makou naau, i malamalama i ikea ka nani o ko Akua ma ka maka o Iesu Kristo.
7 This treasure we have in these earthen vessels, so that its all-prevailing power may be seen to come from God, and not to be our own.
Ia makou no keia waiwai iloko o na ipu lepo, i ikea ka mana nui, no ke Akua ia, aole no makou.
8 Though hard pressed on every side, we are never hemmed in; though perplexed, never driven to despair;
Ua hookeia mai makou a puni, aole nae i pilikia; ua lauwiliia mai makou, aole hoi i pilihua.
9 though pursued, never abandoned; though struck down, never killed!
Ua hoomaauia mai makou, aole nae i haaleleia; ua kulaina mai makou, aole hoi i make.
10 We always bear on our bodies the marks of the death that Jesus died, so that the life also of Jesus may be exhibited in our bodies.
E lawe mau ana makou ma ke kino i ka make ana o ka Haku o Iesu, i hoikeia hoi ke ola ana o Iesu ma ko makou kino.
11 Indeed, we who still live are continually being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life also of Jesus may be exhibited in our mortal nature.
No ka mea, o makou ka poe e ola nei, ua haawi mau ia'ku makou e make no Iesu, i hoikeia hoi ke ola ana o Iesu ma ko makou kino make.
12 And so, while death is at work within us, life is at work within you.
Nolaila, ke hooikaika nei ka make iloko o makou, a o ke ola iloko o oukou.
13 But, in the same spirit of faith as that expressed in the words – “I believed, and therefore I spoke,” we, also believe, and therefore speak.
No ka ikaika like o ko makou manaoio, me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua manaoio iho la au, nolaila au i olelo aku ai; ke manaoio nei no hoi makou, nolaila makou e olelo aku nei:
14 For we know that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with him, and will bring us, with you, into his presence.
Ke ike nei makou, o ka mea nana i hoala mai ka Haku o Iesu, e hoala mai no hoi oia ia makou ma o Iesu la, a e hoike pu ae ia makou me oukou.
15 For all this is for your sakes, so that the loving kindness of God, spreading from heart to heart, may cause yet more hearts to overflow with thanksgiving, to his glory.
No ka mea, no oukou ia mau mea a pau, i hoonui ae ka lokomaikai nui i ka nani o ke Akua, ma ka hoomaikai ana'ku o na mea he nui.
16 Therefore, as I said, we do not lose heart. No, even though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
No ia mea, aole o makou manaka; aka, ina paha ua nawaliwali iho ko makou kino mawaho, ua hooikaika mau ia no nae ko loko, i kela la i keia la.
17 The light burden of our momentary trouble is preparing for us a weight of imperishable glory, beyond all measure. (aiōnios g166)
No ka mea, o ko makou hoino nuku pokole wale ia no, ke hana mai nei no ia i ka nani nui mau loa no makou: (aiōnios g166)
18 We, all the while, gaze not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is transient, but what is unseen is imperishable. (aiōnios g166)
I ko makou manao ole ana i na mea i ike maka ia, i na mea no i ike maka ole ia: no ka mea, he pokole na mea i ike maka ia; aka, he mau loa na mea i ike maka ole ia. (aiōnios g166)
