2 Corinthians 4
1 Wherefore, having this ministry, even as we received mercy, we faint not;
Aa kanao anay o fitoroñañe zao, ie niferenaiñañe, le tsy mamoe’ay.
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.
Toe rarà’ay ze sata naetake ty amy hasalara’ey; tsy mipiapia am-pamañahiañe vaho tsy mengohe’ay o tsaran’ Añahareo, fe am-palangesañe ty hatò ro anolora’ay vatañe mb’am-pitsakorea’ ze hene ondaty am-pivazohoan’ Añahare.
3 And, even if our glad-message is veiled, in them who are perishing, it is veiled,
Aa naho toe mikolopoke ty talili-soa’ay, le mikolopoke amo mikoromakeo,
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)
fa nampigoa’ ty ndrañaharen-tsa toy ty fivetsevetse’ o tsi-miantokeo, tsy hahaisake ty fireandrea’ ty talili-soan’ enge’ i Norizañey, i vintan’ Añaharey. (aiōn g165)
5 For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
Tsy ty vata’ay ro taroñe’ay, fa Iesoà Norizañey ho Talè, le zahay ro fetrek’oro’ areo ty am’ Iesoà.
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.
I Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe: Hipasasàke amo ieñeo ty zava ro mampireandreañe añ’arofo’ay ao i hazavam-paharendrehañe ty engen’ Añahare mitapasàke an-dahara’ Iesoà Norizañey.
7 Howbeit we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that, the surpassing greatness of the power, may be of God, and not from ourselves: —
Ie ty vara’ay mihaja an-tsajoa-tane ao, hampidodea te boak’ aman’ Añahare ty hara’elahi’ i haozarañey fa tsy hirik’ ama’ay.
8 On every side, pressed hard, but not hemmed in, without a way, but not without a by-way,
Mañarikatoke anay ty famorekekeañe, fe tsy demoke; malovilovy, fe tsy mamoe aiñe,
9 Pursued, but not abandoned, thrown down, but not destroyed; —
samporeraheñe fa tsy naforintseñe; zinevo, fa tsy rotsake—
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;
nainai’e endese’ay am-batañe ty havilasi’ Iesoà, soa te halange an-tsandri’ay ka ty havelo’ Iesoà.
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:
Le nainai’e seseheñe havetrake ty amy Iesoà zahay veloñeo, soa te hiboak’ an-tsandri’ay mora mihomakeo ka ty havelo’ Iesoà.
12 So that, his death, in us, doth energise, but, his life, in you.
Aa le mitromake ama’ay ao ty fihomahañe, le ama’areo ty haveloñe.
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:
Manahake i nisokirañey ty hoe: Niantoke raho, vaho nivolañe, Toe miato ka zahay nampatokisa’ i Arofoy vaho mitaroñe,
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.
fohiñe te i Nampitroatse i Talè Iesoày ro hampitroatse anay miharo amy Iesoà ka, vaho hampiatrefe’e mitraoke ama’ areo zahay.
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.
Inahareo ty nanoañe i he’e rezay, soa t’ie fa niboele ami’ty maro ty hasoa le handopatse ho ami’ty engen’ Añahare ty fañandriañañe.
16 Wherefore we faint not, but, even if, our outer man, is decaying, nevertheless, our inner [man], is renewing day by day.
Aa le tsy milesa zahay, fa ndra te mihamomoke ty sandri’ay alafe’e, mihavao boak’ andro ty an-tro’ay ao.
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)
Le i hasotriañe maivañe tsy maremaretse toiy ro mamokatse engeñe tsy ri’e mavesatse tsy amañ’ohatse. (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)
Le tsy o isam-pihainoo ty biribirie’ay fa o tsy isakeo, amy te mihelañe o raha isakeo, fe tsy ho modo nainai’e o tsy isam-pihainoo. (aiōnios g166)
