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.
So then, as I have this ministry because of God’s mercy to me, I do not lose heart.
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.
I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man’s conscience as in the sight of 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 my gospel, too, is "veiled," it is among those who are on the way to perish that it is "veiled."
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)
Among them the god of this age has blinded the understanding of the unbelieving so that the sunshine of the gospel of God, should not dawn upon 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.
It is not myself that I proclaim, but Christ Jesus as Master, and myself that I proclaim, and myself your slave for Jesus’ sake.
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.
For God who said, "Out of darkness light shall shine," is he who has shone in my heart, that the sunrise of the knowledge of God may shine forth in the face of 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 I hold this treasure in an earthen vessel, in order that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God, and not from myself.
8 Womimi mí ɖo le go sia go me gake womegbã mí o, míetɔtɔ gake dzi meɖe le míaƒo o,
On every side I am hard pressed, yet not hemmed in; perplexed, but not in despair;
9 woti mía yome, gake Mawu megble mí ɖi o, woƒo mí ƒu anyi, gake wometsrɔ̃ mí o.
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck 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.
Wherever I go, I am always carrying about in my body the dying of Jesus, in order that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in this body of mine.
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, alive though I am, I am always given over to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may shine forth in my dying flesh.
12 Eya ta ku le dɔ wɔm le mía me, gake agbe le dɔ wɔm le miawo me.
So while death is working in me, life is working 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.
But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I 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.
For I know that He who raised from the dead the Lord Jesus, will raise me also with Jesus, and set me at your side in his presence.
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 everything is for your sakes, so that more abundant grace, because of the thanksgiving of many voices, might overflow 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, as I have said, I do not lose courage, but even though my outward man is wasting away, my inward man is being 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 my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal 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)
while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
