2 Korintiyawa 4
1 Saboda haka, da yake ta wurin jinƙan Allah ne muke da wannan hidima, ba za mu fid da zuciya ba.
Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.
2 Ba ruwanmu da ɓoye-ɓoye na munafuncin da suke abubuwan kunya. Ba ruwanmu da ruɗu, ko yin ƙarya da kalmar Allah. Sai dai muna faɗin gaskiya a fili. Ta haka ne kowa zai yi shaidar gaskiyarmu a gaban Allah cikin zuciyarsa.
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.
3 Ko da bishararmu a rufe take, tana a rufe ne ga waɗanda suke hallaka.
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,
4 Allahn zamanin nan ya makanta hankulan marasa ba da gaskiya, yadda har ba za su iya ganin hasken bishara ta ɗaukakar Kiristi ba, wanda yake kamannin Allah. (aiōn g165)
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)
5 Gama ba wa’azin kanmu muke yi ba, sai dai na Yesu Kiristi, a kan shi ne Ubangiji, mu kuma bayinku saboda Yesu.
(For we do not proclaim ourselves, but we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for the sake of Jesus.)
6 Domin shi Allah wanda ya ce, “Bari haske yă haskaka daga duhu,” ya sa haskensa ya haskaka a cikin zukatanmu, don yă ba mu hasken sanin ɗaukakar Allah a fuskar Kiristi.
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.
7 Amma muna da wannan dukiya a cikin tulunan yumɓu, don a nuna wannan mafificin ikon nan daga Allah ne, ba daga gare mu ba.
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.
8 A matse muke a kowane gefe, sai dai ba a gurgunta mu ba. An rikitar da mu, amma ba mu fid da zuciya ba.
We are hard pressed, yet never in absolute distress; perplexed, yet never utterly baffled;
9 An tsananta mana, amma ba a yashe mu ba, an fyaɗe mu da ƙasa, amma ba a hallaka mu ba.
pursued, yet never left unsuccoured; struck to the ground, yet never slain;
10 Kullum muna ɗauke da mutuwar Yesu a jikinmu, domin ran Yesu yă bayyana a jikinmu.
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.
11 Muddin muna a raye, kullum zaman mutuwa muke yi saboda Yesu, don a bayyana ran Yesu ta wurin jikin nan namu mai mutuwa.
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.
12 Ta haka, mutuwa tana aiki a cikinmu, ku kuwa rai a cikinku.
Thus we are constantly dying, while you are in full enjoyment of Life.
13 A rubuce yake cewa, “Na gaskata; saboda haka na yi magana.” Da wannan ruhun bangaskiya ne mu ma muka gaskata, saboda haka muke magana.
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.
14 Domin mun san cewa shi da ya tā da Ubangiji Yesu daga matattu, zai tashe mu mu ma tare da Kiristi, yă kuma miƙa mu a gabansa tare da ku.
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.
15 Duk wannan fa don amfaninku ne, domin alherin nan da yake bazuwa zuwa ga mutane masu yawa, yă zama dalilin godiya mai yawa ga ɗaukakar Allah.
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.
16 Saboda haka, ba mu fid da zuciya ba. Ko da yake a waje, jikinmu mai mutuwa yana lalacewa, amma can ciki, ana sabunta mu kowace rana.
Therefore we are not cowards. Nay, even though our outward man is wasting away, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day.
17 Don wannan’yar wahalar tamu mai saurin wucewa, ita take tanadar mana madawwamiyar ɗaukaka mai yawa, fiye da kwatanci. (aiōnios g166)
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)
18 Domin ba abubuwan da ido yake gani ne muke dubawa ba, sai dai marasa ganuwa. Gama abubuwan da ake gani masu saurin wucewa ne, marasa ganuwa kuwa, madawwama ne. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at things seen, but things unseen; for things seen are temporary, but things unseen are eternal. (aiōnios g166)
