2 Qorontos 4
1 Kanaafuu nu araara Waaqaatiin tajaajila kana waan qabnuuf abdii hin kutannu.
Therefore, having this ministry, as we have had mercy shewn us, we faint not.
2 Nu waan dhoksaa taʼee fi waan nama qaanessu dhiifneerra; namas hin gowwoomsinu; dubbii Waaqaas hin micciirru. Garuu dhugaa ifatti baafnee dubbachuudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qalbii nama hundumaatti of dhiʼeessina.
But we have rejected the hidden things of shame, not walking in deceit, nor falsifying the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
3 Wangeelli keenya yoo haguugame illee warra baduutti jiran jalaa haguugama;
But if also our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those that are lost;
4 Waaqni addunyaa kanaa akka namoonni hin amanin ifa wangeela ulfina Kiristoos isa fakkaattii Waaqaa taʼe sanaa arguu hin dandeenyeef qalbii isaanii jaamseera. (aiōn g165)
in whom the god of this world has blinded the thoughts of the unbelieving, so that the radiancy of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is [the] image of God, should not shine forth [for them]. (aiōn g165)
5 Nu akka Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa taʼe lallabna malee of hin lallabnu; nu mataan keenya Yesuusiif jennee tajaajiltoota keessan.
For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus Lord, and ourselves your bondmen for Jesus' sake.
6 Waaqni, “Dukkana keessaa ifni haa ifu” jedhe sun akka fuula Kiristoos irraa ifa beekumsa ulfina Waaqaa nuu kennuuf ifa isaa garaa keenya keessatti ibseeraatii.
Because [it is] the God who spoke that out of darkness light should shine who has shone in our hearts for the shining forth of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of [Jesus] Christ.
7 Garuu akka humni waan hunda caalu kun Waaqa irraa malee nu biraa hin dhufin argisiisuuf nu badhaadhummaa kana qodaa suphee keessaa qabna.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:
8 Nu karaa hundaan ni dhiibamna; garuu hin caccabnu; ni burjaajofna; garuu abdii hin kutannu;
every way afflicted, but not straitened; seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up;
9 ni ariʼatamna, garuu hin gatamnu; lafaan dhaʼamna, garuu hin badnu.
persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Akka jireenyi Yesuus dhagna keenyaan mulʼifamuuf nu yeroo hunda duʼa Yesuus dhagna keenyatti baannee deemna.
always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body;
11 Nu warri lubbuun jirru akka jireenyi isaa foon keenya kan duʼu keessaan mulʼifamuuf yeroo hunda Yesuusiif jennee duʼatti dabarfamnee kennamnaatii.
for we who live are always delivered unto death on account of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh;
12 Egaa duuti nu keessatti hojjeta; jireenyi immoo isin keessatti hojjeta.
so that death works in us, but life in you.
13 “Ani amaneera; kanaafis dubbadheera” jedhamee barreeffameera. Nu immoo sababii hafuura amantii sanaan ni amanna; kanaafis ni dubbanna;
And having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I have believed, therefore have I spoken; we also believe, therefore also we speak;
14 inni Gooftaa Yesuusin warra duʼan keessaa kaase sun nuus Yesuus wajjin kaasee isin wajjinis fuula isaa duratti akka nu dhiʼeessu ni beekna.
knowing that he who has raised the Lord Jesus shall raise us also with Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
15 Ayyaanni namoota hedduu waliin gaʼaa jiru kun ulfina Waaqaatiif galata guutee dhangalaʼu akka fiduuf wanni kun hundi buʼaa keessaniif taʼe.
For all things [are] for your sakes, that the grace abounding through the many may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
16 Kanaafuu nu abdii hin kutannu. Yoo namummaan keenya inni alaan mulʼatu dhumaa deeme iyyuu, namummaan keenya inni keessaa garuu guyyuma guyyaan haaromfamaa deema.
Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day.
17 Dhiphinni keenya inni salphaanii fi yeroodhaaf turu kun ulfina bara baraa kan waan hunda caalu nuuf fida. (aiōnios g166)
For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; (aiōnios g166)
18 Kanaafuu nu waan hin mulʼanne ilaalla malee waan mulʼatu hin ilaallu. Wanti mulʼatu waan yeroo ti; wanti hin mulʼanne garuu waan bara baraatii. (aiōnios g166)
while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal. (aiōnios g166)
