2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, we are not weary in this ministry which we have received, according to the mercies that have been upon us:
Mawu ŋutɔ ƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ mee wòtso be wòtsɔ subɔsubɔdɔ sia de asi na mí be ɖeɖi metea mía ŋu le ewɔwɔ me o.
2 But we have renounced the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, we exhibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God.
Ke míegbea nu le vivitimenuwɔnawo kple ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo gbɔ. Míeblua afɔ na Mawu ƒe nya la o, ke boŋ míegblɔa nyateƒenya vavãtɔ la na ame sia ame. Míegbe nu le alakpadada gbɔ helé nyateƒe la ko me ɖe asi be amewo nanya le woƒe dzi me be míenye ame dzɔdzɔewo le Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
3 And if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed to them that perish;
Eya ta ne Kristo ƒe nyanyui si míele gbeƒã ɖem la gɔme sese sesẽ na ame aɖewo la, ekema ame siawo ɖo ta tsɔtsrɔ̃ me.
4 to them whose minds the God of this world hath blinded, in order that they might not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of the Messiah (who is the likeness of God) should dawn upon them. (aiōn g165)
Satana, ame si le dzi ɖum le xexe vɔ̃ɖi sia me fifia lae gbã dzimaxɔsetɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo eye wòtsyɔ nu woƒe susuwo dzi. Ewɔ esia be womakpɔ kekeli si tso nyanyui la me le keklẽm ɖe wo dzi la eye woase nu si gblɔm míele tso Kristo si nye Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ŋu la gɔme o. (aiōn g165)
5 For it is not ourselves that we preach, but the Messiah, Jesus our Lord; and, as to ourselves, that we are your servants for Jesus' sake.
Menye mía ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ŋutie míele gbeƒã ɖem le na mi o, ke boŋ Yesu Kristo ŋutie, eye eyae nye Aƒetɔ la. Ke míawo la, míenye subɔlawo le Yesu ŋuti.
6 Because God, who commanded the light to arise from darkness, hath himself shined in our hearts, that we might be illuminated with the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus the Messiah.
Mawu ame si gblɔ be, “Kekeli neklẽ ɖe viviti me la,” kee nye ame si klẽ ɖe míawo hã ƒe dzi me. To esia wɔwɔ me la, ena be míexɔ kekeli la ƒe sidzedze, si nye eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe si klẽna tso Kristo me.
7 But we have this treasure in an earthen vessel, that the excellency of the power might be from God, and not from us.
Ke kesinɔnu sia le mía si le anyigoewo me, be wòaɖee fia be ŋusẽ triakɔ sia metso mía gbɔ o, ke boŋ Mawu gbɔ wòtso.
8 And in every thing we are oppressed, but not suffocated; we are corrected, but not condemned;
Womimi mí ɖo le go sia go me gake womegbã mí o, míetɔtɔ gake dzi meɖe le míaƒo o,
9 we are persecuted, but not forsaken; we are prostrated, but perish not.
woti mía yome, gake Mawu megble mí ɖi o, woƒo mí ƒu anyi, gake wometsrɔ̃ mí o.
10 For we bear in our body, at all times, the dying of Jesus; that the life also of Jesus might be manifested in our body.
Yesu ƒe ku le míaƒe ŋutilã me míele yiyimee gbe sia gbe, be woaɖe Yesu ƒe agbe hã ɖe go le míaƒe ŋutilã me.
11 For if we are delivered over alive unto death, for Jesus' sake, even so also will the life of Jesus be manifested in this our mortal body.
Elabena wotsɔ mí ame siwo le agbe la de asi na ku gbe sia gbe le Yesu ta, be woaɖe eƒe agbe ɖe go le míaƒe ŋutilã si le kuku ge la me.
12 Now therefore, in us death is active, but in you, life.
Eya ta ku le dɔ wɔm le mía me, gake agbe le dɔ wɔm le miawo me.
13 Having therefore the same spirit of faith, (as it is written, I believed, therefore also have I spoken, ) we also believe, and therefore speak;
Abe ale si woŋlɔ ɖe mawunya me ene be, “Mexɔe se, eya ta meƒo nu ɖo” la, nenema ke míawo hã míexɔe se, eya ta míadzudzɔ nuƒoƒo o.
14 knowing that he, who resuscitated our Lord Jesus, will also resuscitate us by Jesus, and will receive us, with you, to himself.
Míenya be Mawu, ame si fɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome la afɔ míawo hã kple Kristo ɖe tsitre, eye wòatsɔ mí kple miawo siaa nɛ.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that while grace aboundeth by means of many, thanksgiving may abound to the glory of God.
Míaƒe fukpekpe siawo katã nye viɖe geɖe na mi, eye zi ale si míeɖe gbeƒã Mawu ƒe amenuveve sia na ame geɖewo, eye wokpɔ gome le eme la, zi nenema ke woatsɔ kafukafu kple akpedada na Aƒetɔ la.
16 For this cause we faint not; for though our outward man perish, yet the inner man is renovated day by day.
Esia ta ɖeɖi metea mía ŋu o, eye míana ta o. Togbɔ be míaƒe ŋutilãwo le gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔm hã la, ŋusẽ si tso Aƒetɔ la gbɔ, eye wòle mía me la le tsitsim ɖe edzi gbe sia gbe.
17 For the affliction of the present time, though very small and light, prepareth for us great glory, without end, for ever and ever; (aiōnios g166)
Xaxa kple fuwɔame siwo katã le mía dzi vam fifia la nu gbɔna yiyi ge kpuie, eye le esia teƒe la, Mawu ana eƒe yayrawo kple ŋutikɔkɔe si ƒo nuwo katã ta la mí ɖaa. (aiōnios g166)
18 while we look not at these seen things, but at those not seen; for these seen things are temporary, but those not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Susu sia ta míetsɔa míaƒe ŋkuwo dana ɖe nu siwo kpɔm míele fifia la dzi o, ke boŋ míetsɔa míaƒe ŋkuwo dana ɖe nu siwo míekpɔna o la dzi, elabena nu siwo wokpɔna la nu mesena yina o, ke nu siwo womekpɔna o la nɔa anyi tegbee. (aiōnios g166)
