¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

¹ Yaadin gaa, za kaŋ iri gonda saajaw goyo wo, mate kaŋ cine iri du suuji, iri si lakaw.

²But 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.

² Amma iri na haawi hari tugantey furu. Iri siino ga diraw te da carmay. Iri si Irikoy Sanno diibi-diibi k'a sara mo. Amma cimi bangandiyaŋo do no iri g'iri boŋ kaa taray boro kulu bine lasaabu se Irikoy jine.

³But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

³ Amma d'iri Baaru Hanna go daabante, a go ga daabu ngey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga halaci se.

⁴In 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.

⁴ Zamana wo irikoyo na danawtaray daŋ borey kaŋ yaŋ si ga cimandi laakaley ra, hala Baaru Hanna annura ma si kaari i se. Baaru Hanna din darza ga ti Almasihu. Nga no ga ti Irikoy alhaalo.

⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵ Zama manti iri bumbey boŋ no iri goono ga waazu bo, amma iri goono ga waazu ka ne Almasihu Yesu ya Rabbi no, iri bumbey mo, araŋ bannyayaŋ no Yesu sabbay se.

⁶For 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.

⁶ Zama Irikoy kaŋ ne: «Annura ga kaari ka fun kubay ra,» nga din no ka kaari iri biney ra zama Irikoy darza bayra ma kaari iri gaa Yesu Almasihu moyduma ra.

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

⁷ Amma iri gonda arzaka wo botogo sintiliyaŋ ra, hala dabari wo kaŋ ga beeri gumo ma ciya Irikoy wane, kaŋ mana fun iri do.

⁸We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

⁸ Iri go kankami ra kambu kulu haray, amma iri mana motti. Iri laakal ga tun, amma manti hal iri ma laakal kaa beeja gaa.

⁹Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

⁹ Iri go gurzugay ra, amma Irikoy mana iri furu. I n'iri zeeri, amma iri mana halaci.

¹⁰Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰ Alwaati kulu iri go ga Yesu buuyaŋo jare iri gaahamey ra, hala Yesu fundo mo ma bangay iri gaahamey ra.

¹¹For 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.

¹¹ Zama iri kaŋ go ga funa, alwaati kulu i go g'iri nooyandi buuyaŋ se Yesu sabbay se, hala Yesu fundo mo ma bangay iri gaahamey kaŋ ga aniya ka bu ra.

¹²So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹² Yaadin gaa, buuyaŋ go ga goy iri ra, amma fundi go ga goy araŋ ra.

¹³We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

¹³ Iri gonda cimbeeri biya* kaŋ ga saba nda sanno kaŋ i hantum ka ne: «Ay cimandi, woodin se no ay salaŋ.» Iri mo go ga cimandi, woodin sabbay se no iri go ga salaŋ.

¹⁴Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴ Zama iri bay kaŋ nga kaŋ na Rabbi Yesu tunandi ka kaa buuyaŋ ra g'iri mo tunandi Yesu banda, ka in d'araŋ kayandi a jine.

¹⁵For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

¹⁵ Zama hayey din kulu go no araŋ sabbay se, hala gomno kaŋ go ga baa ka tonton boro boobo do ma naŋ saabuyaŋ ma baa Irikoy darza se.

¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶ Woodin sabbay se, iri si lakaw. Baa iri alhaali banganta ga hasara, kulu nda yaadin iri alhaali tuganta go ga taji zaari ka koy zaari.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷ Zama hal abada darza kaŋ iri ga du neesiyaŋo ga baa ka bisa iri kankami kayna, alwaati kayniyaw wane neesijo.

¹⁸While 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.

¹⁸ Iri si ga hayey kaŋ mo ga di guna, kala day hayey kaŋ mo si di. Zama hayey kaŋ mo ga di ga ti alwaati kayna ra wane yaŋ. Amma hayey kaŋ mo si di, hal abada wane yaŋ no.
