2 Corinthians 4
1 Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
NO ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai o keia oihana ia makou ma ka lokomaikaiia mai, aole o makou manaka.
2 Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.
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 If, however, the meaning of our Good News has been veiled, the veil has been on the hearts of those who are on the way to perdition,
A i uhiia ka makou euanelio, ua uhiia oia no ka poe e lilo ana i ka make.
4 in whom the god of this present age has blinded their unbelieving minds so as to shut out the sunshine of the Good News of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God. (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 we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
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 For God who said, "Out of darkness let light shine," is He who has shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory, which is radiant on 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 But we have this treasure in a fragile vase of clay, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be seen to belong to God, and not to originate in us.
Ia makou no keia waiwai iloko o na ipu lepo, i ikea ka mana nui, no ke Akua ia, aole no makou.
8 We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
Ua hookeia mai makou a puni, aole nae i pilikia; ua lauwiliia mai makou, aole hoi i pilihua.
9 pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
Ua hoomaauia mai makou, aole nae i haaleleia; ua kulaina mai makou, aole hoi i make.
10 always, wherever we go, carrying with us in our bodies the putting to death of Jesus, so that in our bodies it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.
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 For we, alive though we are, are continually surrendering ourselves to death for the sake of Jesus, so that in this mortal nature of ours it may also be clearly shown that Jesus lives.
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 Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
Nolaila, ke hooikaika nei ka make iloko o makou, a o ke ola iloko o oukou.
13 But possessing the same Spirit of faith as he who wrote, "I believed, and therefore I have spoken," we also believe, and therefore we 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 from the dead will raise us also to be with Jesus, and will cause both us and you to stand in His own 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 everything is for your sakes, in order that grace, being more richly bestowed because of the thanksgivings of the increased number, may more and more promote the glory of God.
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 we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is 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 For this our light and transitory burden of suffering is achieving for us a preponderating, yes, a vastly preponderating, and eternal weight of glory; (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 while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. (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)
