2 Corinthians 4
1 Wherefore, having this ministry, even as we received mercy, we faint not;
Ary amin’ izany, satria manana izany fanompoana izany izahay, araka ny nahazoanay famindram-po, dia tsy ketraka.
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.
Fa efa nolavinay ny zavatra takona mahamenatra, ka tsy mandeha amin’ ny fihendrena, na manatsatso ny tenin’ Andriamanitra izahay; fa amin’ ny fanehoana ny marina no ideranay tena amin’ ny fieritreretan’ ny olona rehetra eo imason’ Andriamanitra.
3 And, even if our glad-message is veiled, in them who are perishing, it is veiled,
Fa raha miafina ny filazantsaranay, dia miafina amin’ izay ho very izany,
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)
izay nohajambain’ ny andriamanitr’ izao tontolo izao, dia ny sain’ ny tsy mino, mba tsy hiposahan’ ny fahazavan’ ny filazantsaran’ ny voninahitr’ i Kristy, Izay endrik’ Andriamanitra. (aiōn g165)
5 For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Fa tsy ny tenanay no torinay, Fa Kristy Jesosy Tompo, ary izahay mpanomponareo noho ny amin’ i Jesosy.
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.
Fa Andriamanitra, izay nandidy hoe: Aoka ny mazava hahazava ao amin’ ny maizina, no nampahazava ny fonay ho amin’ ny fahazavan’ ny fahalalana ny voninahitr’ Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny tavan’ i Jesosy Kristy.
7 Howbeit we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that, the surpassing greatness of the power, may be of God, and not from ourselves: —
Fa manana izao rakitra izao amin’ ny vilany tany izahay, mba ho an’ Andriamanitra ny halehiben’ ny hery, fa tsy ho avy aminay.
8 On every side, pressed hard, but not hemmed in, without a way, but not without a by-way,
Voageja manodidina izahay, nefa tsy terỳ; very hevitra, nefa tsy mamoy fo;
9 Pursued, but not abandoned, thrown down, but not destroyed; —
enjehina, nefa tsy nafoy, potraka, nefa tsy maty;
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;
mitondra ny fahafatesan’ i Jesosy mandrakariva ao amin’ ny tena izahay, mba haseho ao amin’ ny tenanay koa ny fiainan’ i Jesosy.
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:
Fa izahay izay velona dia atolotra ho amin’ ny fahafatesana mandrakariva noho ny amin’ i Jesosy, mba haseho ao amin’ ny nofonay mety maty koa ny fiainan’ i Jesosy.
12 So that, his death, in us, doth energise, but, his life, in you.
Koa ny fahafatesana no miasa ao aminay, fa ny fiainana kosa ao aminareo.
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:
Ary satria manana izany fanahin’ ny finoana izany indrindra izahay, araka ny voasoratra hoe: Nino aho, ka dia niteny, dia mino koa izahay ka miteny;
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.
fa fantatray fa Izay nanangana an’ i Jesosy Tompo no hanangana anay koa miaraka aminareo.
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.
Fa ny zavatra rehetra dia natao noho ny aminareo, mba hitomboan’ ny fisaorana ho voninahitr’ Andriamanitra noho ny fitombon’ ny fahasoavana amin’ ny maro.
16 Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner [man], is renewing day by day.
Ary tsy ketraka izahay; fa na dia mihalevona aza ny toetray ivelany, dia havaozina isan’ andro isan’ andro kosa ny toetray anatiny.
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)
Fa ny fahorianay maivana, izay vetivety foana, dia mainka miasa fatratra indrindra ka mahatanteraka voninahitra mavesatra maharitra mandrakariva ho anay, (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)
raha tsy mijery ny hita izahay, fa ny tsy hita; fa ny hita dia ho vetivety foana, fa ny tsy hita no haharitra mandrakizay. (aiōnios g166)
