¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

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

²But we 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 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.

³Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;

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 has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on 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 don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as 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.

⁶seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” Genesis 1:3 who has shone 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 clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

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 pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to 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.

⁹pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

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

¹⁰always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed 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 who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed 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 works in us, but life in you.

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

¹³But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” Psalm 116:10 We also believe, and therefore also we 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 who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will 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 grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound 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.

¹⁶Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our 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 for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an 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 don’t look 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.
