2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, because we have this ministry, and just as we have received mercy, we do not become discouraged.
Rumal waꞌ, man kujqꞌiꞌtaj taj chubꞌanik we chak we yaꞌtal chaqe rumal xtoqꞌobꞌax qawach.
2 Instead, we have rejected secret and shameful ways. We do not live by craftiness, and we do not mishandle the word of God. By presenting the truth, we recommend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God.
Xane qatzaqom kanoq ri kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌanik ri xaq chaꞌwal kabꞌanik. Man kaqasubꞌ ta winaq xuqujeꞌ man kaqakꞌex ta ri kubꞌij ri utzij ri Dios. Xane are kaqatzijoj ri qas tzij chike ri winaq, retaꞌm ri Dios.
3 But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.
We ri utz laj taq tzij ri kaqatzijoj awatalik, awatal riꞌ chikiwach ri winaq ri kasach kiwach.
4 In their case, the god of this world has blinded their unbelieving minds. As a result, they are not able to see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Ri dios rech we uwachulew riꞌ utzꞌapim ri kichomabꞌal ri man e kojonelabꞌ taj rech jeriꞌ man kakil taj ri tunal ri katunanik rech ri utz laj tzij rech ri Cristo are waꞌ ri ukaꞌyibꞌal ri Dios. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
Man are ta kaqatzijoj qibꞌ uj xane are kaqatzijoj ri Jesucristo ri Ajawxel. Ri uj xaq uj patanil taq iwe rumal rech ri Jesús.
6 For God is the one who said, “Light will shine out of darkness.” He has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Rumal cher ri Dios ri xutaq ri tunal ri katunanik xtunan pa ri qꞌequꞌmal, Areꞌ xtunan ri tunal pa taq qanimaꞌ rech jeriꞌ xqetaꞌmaj ri ujuluwem ri Dios ri karepqꞌunik pa ri Cristo.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, so that it is clear that the exceedingly great power belongs to God and not to us.
We qꞌinomal riꞌ kꞌo pa taq kꞌolibꞌal bꞌantal che ulew rech jeriꞌ kilitajik chi ri ujeꞌlal ri kwinem man qukꞌ ta uj kape wi, xane rukꞌ ri Dios.
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not overwhelmed. We are perplexed but not filled with despair.
Kꞌax kaqarik pa ronojel ri kaqabꞌano, pune jeriꞌ, man kujbꞌison taj, xane kujmayijanik xuqujeꞌ man kakꞌis taj ta kꞌu qakꞌuꞌx.
9 We are persecuted but not forsaken. We are struck down but not destroyed.
Kujtzukuxik rech kabꞌan kꞌax chaqe, man uj tzaqsatal ta kꞌu kanoq, pune ujtzaqinaq pa ri ulew xa kꞌu man kꞌistal ta tzij pa qawiꞌ.
10 We always carry in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be shown in our bodies.
Xapawjeꞌ kujeꞌ wi, qakꞌamom bꞌik ri ukamikal ri Jesús pa ri qatyoꞌjal rech jeriꞌ ri ukꞌaslemal kukꞌut ribꞌ pa ri qatyoꞌjal.
11 We who are alive are always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be shown in our body.
Ri uj ri uj kꞌaslik, uj jachtal wi pa ri kamikal xa rumal rech ri Jesús, rech jeriꞌ ri ukꞌaslemal kukꞌut na ribꞌ pa ri qatyoꞌjal.
12 So death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Xaq jeriꞌ are kachakun ri kamikal chaqe uj chiꞌwe ix kꞌut are kachakun ri jun alik kꞌaslemal.
13 But we have the same spirit of faith according to that which was written: “I believed, and so I spoke.” We also believe, and so we also speak,
Ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik kubꞌij: Xinkoj pa wanimaꞌ rumal riꞌ xinbꞌij rukꞌ ri nuchiꞌ. Rukꞌ ri uxlabꞌal rech ri kojobꞌal riꞌ kujkojonik, rumal riꞌ jeriꞌ xuqujeꞌ kaqabꞌij.
14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.
Qetaꞌm chi ri xukꞌastajisaj uwach ri Ajawxel Jesús, kujukꞌastajisaj xuqujeꞌ na uj rukꞌ Areꞌ xuqujeꞌ kujukꞌam bꞌik rukꞌ.
15 Everything is for your sake so that, as grace is spread to many people, thanksgiving may increase to the glory of God.
Kaqarik we kꞌax riꞌ, xa rumal iwe, rech ri loqꞌanik ri tajin kuꞌkꞌam apanoq sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq, kanimar ri utyoxinik rech kuya uqꞌij riꞌ Dios.
16 So we do not become discouraged. Even though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
Xaq jeriꞌ, mujqꞌitaj bꞌa pune tajin kariꞌjobꞌ ri qatyoꞌjal, ri qanimaꞌ tajin kukꞌam uchuqꞌabꞌ qꞌij chi qꞌij.
17 For this momentary, light affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory that exceeds all measurement. (aiōnios g166)
Rumal cher ri kꞌaxkꞌolal ri kaqarik kamik xaq kikꞌowik xuqujeꞌ kukꞌam loq jun juluwem ri man kꞌo taj ukꞌisik ri nim na uqꞌij cho ri kꞌaxkꞌolal. (aiōnios g166)
18 For we are not watching for things that are seen, but for things that are unseen. The things that we can see are temporary, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Rumal cher man are ta kajeqiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx chirij ri kilitaj uwach, xane jeqel qakꞌuꞌx chirij ri man kilitaj ta uwach, ri kilitaj uwach xaq ikꞌowel are kꞌu ri man kilitaj ta uwach kajeqiꞌ chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (aiōnios g166)
