2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, because we have this ministry, and just as we have received mercy, we do not become discouraged.
Ary amin’ izany, satria manana izany fanompoana izany izahay, araka ny nahazoanay famindram-po, dia tsy ketraka.
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.
Fa efa nolavinay ny zavatra takona mahamenatra, ka tsy mandeha amin’ ny fihendrena, na manatsatso ny tenin’ Andriamanitra izahay; fa amin’ ny fanehoana ny marina no ideranay tena amin’ ny fieritreretan’ ny olona rehetra eo imason’ Andriamanitra.
3 But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing.
Fa raha miafina ny filazantsaranay, dia miafina amin’ izay ho very izany,
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)
izay nohajambain’ ny andriamanitr’ izao tontolo izao, dia ny sain’ ny tsy mino, mba tsy hiposahan’ ny fahazavan’ ny filazantsaran’ ny voninahitr’ i Kristy, Izay endrik’ Andriamanitra. (aiōn g165)
5 For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
Fa tsy ny tenanay no torinay, Fa Kristy Jesosy Tompo, ary izahay mpanomponareo noho ny amin’ i Jesosy.
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.
Fa Andriamanitra, izay nandidy hoe: Aoka ny mazava hahazava ao amin’ ny maizina, no nampahazava ny fonay ho amin’ ny fahazavan’ ny fahalalana ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny tavan’ i Jesosy Kristy.
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.
Fa manana izao rakitra izao amin’ ny vilany tany izahay, mba ho an’ Andriamanitra ny halehiben’ ny hery, fa tsy ho avy aminay.
8 We are afflicted in every way, but not overwhelmed. We are perplexed but not filled with despair.
Voageja manodidina izahay, nefa tsy terỳ; very hevitra, nefa tsy mamoy fo;
9 We are persecuted but not forsaken. We are struck down but not destroyed.
enjehina, nefa tsy nafoy, potraka, nefa tsy maty;
10 We always carry in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be shown in our bodies.
mitondra ny fahafatesan’ i Jesosy mandrakariva ao amin’ ny tena izahay, mba haseho ao amin’ ny tenanay koa ny fiainan’ i Jesosy.
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.
Fa izahay izay velona dia atolotra ho amin’ ny fahafatesana mandrakariva noho ny amin’ i Jesosy, mba haseho ao amin’ ny nofonay mety maty koa ny fiainan’ i Jesosy.
12 So death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
Koa ny fahafatesana no miasa ao aminay, fa ny fiainana kosa ao aminareo.
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,
Ary satria manana izany fanahin’ ny finoana izany indrindra izahay, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Nino aho, ka dia niteny, dia mino koa izahay ka miteny;
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.
fa fantatray fa Izay nanangana an’ i Jesosy Tompo no hanangana anay koa miaraka aminareo.
15 Everything is for your sake so that, as grace is spread to many people, thanksgiving may increase to the glory of God.
Fa ny zavatra rehetra dia natao noho ny aminareo, mba hitomboan’ ny fisaorana ho voninahitr’ Andriamanitra noho ny fitombon’ ny fahasoavana amin’ ny maro.
16 So we do not become discouraged. Even though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
Ary tsy ketraka izahay; fa na dia mihalevona aza ny toetray ivelany, dia havaozina isan’ andro isan’ andro kosa ny toetray anatiny.
17 For this momentary, light affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory that exceeds all measurement. (aiōnios g166)
Fa ny fahorianay maivana, izay vetivety foana, dia mainka miasa fatratra indrindra ka mahatanteraka voninahitra mavesatra maharitra mandrakariva ho anay, (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)
raha tsy mijery ny hita izahay, fa ny tsy hita; fa ny hita dia ho vetivety foana, fa ny tsy hita no haharitra mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
