2 Corinthians 4
1 Wherefore, having this ministry, even as we received mercy, we faint not;
Emomiyo, ka koro Nyasaye osekechowa momiyowa tijni mondo watim, chunywa ok nyosre.
2 But 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 unto every conscience of men, in the sight of God.
Wasekwedo timbe malingʼ-lingʼ mag miriambo makwodo wich, ok wakonyre gi wuond, bende ok wagaj wach Nyasaye, to wawuotho e ler mar adiera kendo wachiwore ni ji duto, mondo chunygi orwakwa e nyim Nyasaye.
3 And, even if our glad-message is veiled, in them who are perishing, it is veiled,
Kapo ni Injili mwayalo ogengʼore, to ogengʼore mana ni joma olal.
4 In whom, the god of this age, hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, to the end they may not discern the radiance of the glad-message of the glory of the Christ—who is the image of God. (aiōn g165)
Joma kamago otamore yie nikech nyasach pinyni osedino pachgi mondo kik gine ler mar Injili manyiso duongʼ mar Kristo, ma en e kido mar Nyasaye. (aiōn g165)
5 For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Nikech ok wayal wach kuomwa wawegi, to wayalo Yesu Kristo kaka Ruoth, to wan wawegi wan jotich magu kuom Yesu.
6 Because, the God who said—Out of darkness, light shall shine! [is he] who hath shone in our hearts, in proportion to the radiance of the glorious knowledge of God, in the face of Christ.
Nikech Nyasaye mane owacho niya, “Ler mondo orieny koa e mudho” ema osemiyo lerne omenyo chunywa, momiyowa ler mar ngʼeyo duongʼ Nyasaye mineno kuom Yesu Kristo.
7 Howbeit we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that, the surpassing greatness of the power, may be of God, and not from ourselves: —
To mwandu mawan-goni watingʼo e agulni mag lowo, mondo oyangre ni teko maduongʼ mawan-goni oa kuom Nyasaye, to ok oa kuomwa wawegi.
8 On every side, pressed hard, but not hemmed in, without a way, but not without a by-way,
Pile weche matek olworowa koni gi koni, to ok chunywa ool; wadhier nono, to ok wajogi;
9 Pursued, but not abandoned, thrown down, but not destroyed; —
isandowa, to ok jwangʼwa; idwaro negwa, to ok tiekwa.
10 At all times, the putting to death of Jesus, in our body, bearing about, in order that, the life also of Jesus, in our body, may be made manifest;
Kinde duto wawuotho ka watingʼo tho mar Yesu e ringrewa, mondo eka ngima mar Yesu onere e ringrewa.
11 For, evermore, we, the living, unto death are being delivered, for Jesus’ sake, in order that, the life also of Jesus, may be made manifest in our mortal flesh:
Wan ma wangima tho ochomowa kinde duto nikech wach Yesu, mondo omi ngima mar Yesu onere e ringrewa matho.
12 So that, his death, in us, doth energise, but, his life, in you.
Omiyo koro wan tho tiyo kuomwa, to un, ngima tiyo kuomu.
13 Howbeit, seeing that we have the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written—I believed, therefore I spake, we, also believe, therefore also we speak:
Muma wacho niya, “Ne ayie emomiyo ne awuoyo.” Gi chuny mar yie machalre, wan bende wayie kendo wawuoyo,
14 Knowing that, he who raised up [the Lord] Jesus, will raise up, us also, together with Jesus, and will present [us] together with you.
nikech wangʼeyo ni Jal mane ochiero Ruoth Yesu oa kuom joma otho biro chierowa wan bende gi Yesu, kendo obiro kelowa kaachiel gi un, e nyime.
15 For, all things, are for your sakes, in order that, the favour abounding, may, through means of the greater number, cause, the thanksgiving, to superabound unto the glory of God.
Magi duto timore mondo okonyu, mondo kaka ngʼwono medo chopo ni ji mangʼeny moloyo, e kaka ji mangʼeny dwoko erokamano ni Nyasaye, mondo Nyasaye oyud duongʼ.
16 Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner [man], is renewing day by day.
Emomiyo chunywa ok nyosre. Kata obedo ni ringrewa ma oko rumo kamano, to chunywa iloko manyien odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ.
17 For, the momentary lightness of the tribulation, in a manner yet more and more excelling, is working out for us, an age-abiding weight of glory, — (aiōnios g166)
Nikech chandruok mwayudo matindo kendo makadho piyo biro kelonwa duongʼ mosiko kendo moloyo chandruogego duto. (aiōnios g166)
18 So long as we are not looking out for the visible things, but for the invisible; for, the visible things, are temporary, whereas, the invisible, are age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Omiyo ok wachom wengewa kuom gik mineno, to kuom gik ma ok ne. Nikech gik mineno gi wangʼ rumo, to gik ma ok ne siko nyaka chiengʼ. (aiōnios g166)
