2 Qorontos 4
1 Kanaafuu nu araara Waaqaatiin tajaajila kana waan qabnuuf abdii hin kutannu.
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, 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 have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
3 Wangeelli keenya yoo haguugame illee warra baduutti jiran jalaa haguugama;
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them 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 hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (aiōn g165)
5 Nu akka Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa taʼe lallabna malee of hin lallabnu; nu mataan keenya Yesuusiif jennee tajaajiltoota keessan.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants 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.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light 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 excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 Nu karaa hundaan ni dhiibamna; garuu hin caccabnu; ni burjaajofna; garuu abdii hin kutannu;
[We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
9 ni ariʼatamna, garuu hin gatamnu; lafaan dhaʼamna, garuu hin badnu.
Persecuted, but not forsaken; 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 the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest 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 which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 Egaa duuti nu keessatti hojjeta; jireenyi immoo isin keessatti hojjeta.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 “Ani amaneera; kanaafis dubbadheera” jedhamee barreeffameera. Nu immoo sababii hafuura amantii sanaan ni amanna; kanaafis ni dubbanna;
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore 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 which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by 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 abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound 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.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] 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 light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] 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 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] eternal. (aiōnios g166)
