2 Corinto 4
1 Ngarud, gapu ta adda kadakami daytoy a trabaho ti Apo, ken kas nakaaawatkami ti asi, saankami a maupay.
Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not faint.
2 Ngem ketdi, imbabawimi dagiti wagas a nakababain ken nailemmeng. Saankami nga agbiag babaen iti kinasikap, ken saanmi nga usaren iti saan a nasayaat ti sao ti Dios. Babaen ti panangiparangmi iti kinapudno, iparangmi ti bagabagimi iti konsensia ti amin, iti imatang ti Dios.
But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Ngem no nadalungdongan ti ebangheliomi, nadalungdongan laeng daytoy kadagidiay mapukpukaw.
Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,
4 Iti kasasaadda, binulsek ti dios daytoy a lubong dagiti saan a mamatmati a panpanunotda. Kas pagbanaganna, saanda a makita ti silaw iti ebanghelio iti dayag ni Cristo, nga isu ti ladawan ti Dios. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this age (aiōn g165) has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
5 Ta saanmi nga iwarwaragawag dagiti bagbagimi, ngem ni Cristo Jesus a kas Apo, ken iwarwaragawagmi dagiti bagbagimi a kas adipenyo maipaay kenni Jesus.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake,
6 Ta ti Dios ti nangibaga, “Agraniag ti silaw manipud iti kasipngetan.” Nagraniag isuna kadagiti puspusomi, tapno mangted ti silaw iti pannakaammo iti dayag ti Dios iti presensia ni Jesu-Cristo.
seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 Ngem adda kadakami daytoy a gameng a naikabil kadagiti burburnay a naaramid iti pitak, tapno nalawag a ti aglaplapusanan a naindaklan a pannakabalin ket kukua ti Dios ken saan a kadakami.
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
8 Naparigatkami iti amin a wagas ngem saankami a naparmek. Nariribukkami ngem saankami a napno iti ladingit.
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9 Naidadaneskami ngem saankami a nabaybay-an. Natuangkami ngem saankami a nadadael.
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10 Kanayon a bakbaklayenmi iti bagimi ti ipapatay ni Jesus, tapno ti biag ni Jesus ket maipakita met kadagiti bagbagimi.
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11 Dakami a sibibiag ket kanayon a maiyaw-awat iti patay gapu kenni Jesus, tapno ti biag ni Jesus ket maipakita kadagiti bagbagimi.
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12 Gapu iti daytoy, ti patay ket agtrabtrabaho kadakami, ngem ti biag ket agtrabtrabaho kadakayo.
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13 Ngem adda kadatayo ti isu met laeng nga espiritu ti pammati kas iti naisurat. “Namatiak ket isu a nagsao-ak.” Mamatikami met, ket isu nga agsaokami met.
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
14 Ammomi a ti nangpaungar kenni Apo Jesus ket pagungarennakaminto met a kaduana. Ammomi nga itugotnakaminto a kaduadakayo iti presensiana.
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15 Maipaay amin dagitoy a banbanag iti pagimbaganyo tapno, kas maiwaras ti parabur kadagiti adu a tattao, mabalin nga umadu ti panagyaman iti dayag ti Dios.
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Isu a saankami a maup-upay. Uray pay madaddadaelkami iti akinruar, iti akin-uneg, mapabpabarokami iti inaldaw.
Therefore we do not faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.
17 Ta daytoy nga agdama, ti nalag-an a panagrigat ket isagsagananakami para iti dakkel ken agnanayon a dayag a lumabes iti amin a pangrukodan. (aiōnios g166)
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly a consummate (aiōnios g166) weight of glory,
18 Ta saankami nga agur-uray kadagiti banbanag a makita ngem kadagiti banbanag a saan a makita. Dagiti makitatayo a banbanag ket saan nga agpa-ut ngem dagiti saan a makita a banbanag ket agpa-ut iti agnanayon. (aiōnios g166)
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are consummate (aiōnios g166).
