2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:
Kanaafuu nu araara Waaqaatiin tajaajila kana waan qabnuuf abdii hin kutannu.
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.
Nu waan dhoksaa taʼee fi waan nama qaanessu dhiifneerra; namas hin gowwoomsinu; dubbii Waaqaas hin micciirru. Garuu dhugaa ifatti baafnee dubbachuudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qalbii nama hundumaatti of dhiʼeessina.
3 But and if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that are perishing:
Wangeelli keenya yoo haguugame illee warra baduutti jiran jalaa haguugama;
4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon them]. (aiōn g165)
Waaqni addunyaa kanaa akka namoonni hin amanin ifa wangeela ulfina Kiristoos isa fakkaattii Waaqaa taʼe sanaa arguu hin dandeenyeef qalbii isaanii jaamseera. (aiōn g165)
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Nu akka Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa taʼe lallabna malee of hin lallabnu; nu mataan keenya Yesuusiif jennee tajaajiltoota keessan.
6 Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Waaqni, “Dukkana keessaa ifni haa ifu” jedhe sun akka fuula Kiristoos irraa ifa beekumsa ulfina Waaqaa nuu kennuuf ifa isaa garaa keenya keessatti ibseeraatii.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;
Garuu akka humni waan hunda caalu kun Waaqa irraa malee nu biraa hin dhufin argisiisuuf nu badhaadhummaa kana qodaa suphee keessaa qabna.
8 [we are] pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;
Nu karaa hundaan ni dhiibamna; garuu hin caccabnu; ni burjaajofna; garuu abdii hin kutannu;
9 pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;
ni ariʼatamna, garuu hin gatamnu; lafaan dhaʼamna, garuu hin badnu.
10 always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body.
Akka jireenyi Yesuus dhagna keenyaan mulʼifamuuf nu yeroo hunda duʼa Yesuus dhagna keenyatti baannee deemna.
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
Nu warri lubbuun jirru akka jireenyi isaa foon keenya kan duʼu keessaan mulʼifamuuf yeroo hunda Yesuusiif jennee duʼatti dabarfamnee kennamnaatii.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
Egaa duuti nu keessatti hojjeta; jireenyi immoo isin keessatti hojjeta.
13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;
“Ani amaneera; kanaafis dubbadheera” jedhamee barreeffameera. Nu immoo sababii hafuura amantii sanaan ni amanna; kanaafis ni dubbanna;
14 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you.
inni Gooftaa Yesuusin warra duʼan keessaa kaase sun nuus Yesuus wajjin kaasee isin wajjinis fuula isaa duratti akka nu dhiʼeessu ni beekna.
15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God.
Ayyaanni namoota hedduu waliin gaʼaa jiru kun ulfina Waaqaatiif galata guutee dhangalaʼu akka fiduuf wanni kun hundi buʼaa keessaniif taʼe.
16 Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.
Kanaafuu nu abdii hin kutannu. Yoo namummaan keenya inni alaan mulʼatu dhumaa deeme iyyuu, namummaan keenya inni keessaa garuu guyyuma guyyaan haaromfamaa deema.
17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
Dhiphinni keenya inni salphaanii fi yeroodhaaf turu kun ulfina bara baraa kan waan hunda caalu nuuf fida. (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)
Kanaafuu nu waan hin mulʼanne ilaalla malee waan mulʼatu hin ilaallu. Wanti mulʼatu waan yeroo ti; wanti hin mulʼanne garuu waan bara baraatii. (aiōnios g166)
