Korintotɔwo 2 4
1 Mawu ŋutɔ ƒe nublanuikpɔkpɔ mee wòtso be wòtsɔ subɔsubɔdɔ sia de asi na mí be ɖeɖi metea mía ŋu le ewɔwɔ me o.
Because of this (having this ministry), in as much as we received mercy, we do not become discouraged.
2 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.
But we have renounced the covert things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor misrepresenting the word of God, but by the disclosure of the truth, commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
3 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.
But even if our good news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing,
4 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)
in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them. (aiōn g165)
5 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.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves are your bondmen through Jesus.
6 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.
Because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who shone in our hearts for an enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.
7 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.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not from us,
8 Womimi mí ɖo le go sia go me gake womegbã mí o, míetɔtɔ gake dzi meɖe le míaƒo o,
restricted in everything, yet not confined, perplexed but not despairing,
9 woti mía yome, gake Mawu megble mí ɖi o, woƒo mí ƒu anyi, gake wometsrɔ̃ mí o.
persecuted but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed.
10 Yesu ƒe ku le míaƒe ŋutilã me míele yiyimee gbe sia gbe, be woaɖe Yesu ƒe agbe hã ɖe go le míaƒe ŋutilã me.
Always carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our body.
11 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.
For we who live are always given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.
12 Eya ta ku le dɔ wɔm le mía me, gake agbe le dɔ wɔm le miawo me.
So death indeed works in us, but life in you.
13 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.
And having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe, and therefore we speak,
14 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.
knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 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.
For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace, which has multiplied because of the thankfulness of the many, may abound for the glory of God.
16 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.
Therefore we are not discouraged, but even if the outer man of us is perishing, yet the inner man is renewed day by day.
17 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)
For our slight momentary affliction works for us an eternal weight of glory from extraordinariness to extraordinariness, (aiōnios g166)
18 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)
while we look not at things seen, but at things not seen. For things seen are temporal, but things not seen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
