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, according as we received kindness, we do not faint,
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 renounced for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending 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.
and if our good news is also veiled, it is veiled in those 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 blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that there does not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; (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 do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus—LORD, and [we are] ourselves your servants because of 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, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who shined in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face 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.
And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God, and not of us,
8 Womimi mí ɖo le go sia go me gake womegbã mí o, míetɔtɔ gake dzi meɖe le míaƒo o,
being in tribulation in every [way], but not crushed; 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.
at all times carrying around in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed 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 are living are always delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our dying flesh,
12 Eya ta ku le dɔ wɔm le mía me, gake agbe le dɔ wɔm le miawo me.
so that, death indeed works in us, and 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 has been written: “I believed, therefore I spoke”; we also believe, therefore we also 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] because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to 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.
for this reason, we do not faint, but if our outward man also decays, yet the inward 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 the momentary light matter of our tribulation works out for us more and more an exceedingly continuous weight of glory— (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)
we [are] not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not seen [are] continuous. (aiōnios g166)
