2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
Aimacae hoi aimacae maw amkoeh amtong o? To tih ai boeh loe kalah thoemto kaminawk baktiah, nangcae han ang paek o ih panoek paehaih ca maw, to tih ai boeh loe nangcae mah na paek o ih panoek paehaih ca to aicae han angaih maw?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Nangcae loe kaicae palung thungah tarik ih ca, kami boih mah panoek moe, kroek ih capat ah na oh o:
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
nangcae loe catui hoi tarik ih ca na ai, kahing Sithaw ih Muithla hoiah tarik ih ca ah na oh o; thlung kangphaek pongah tarik ih ca na ai, ngan kaom palung thungah tarik ih ca, tok a sak pae o ih, Kri capat ah ni na oh o, tito amtueng boeh.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Aicae loe Kri rang hoiah Sithaw hmaa ah to baktih kacak tanghaih to a tawnh o.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Aicae loe aimacae angoephaih hoiah aimah koehah tih hmuen doeh a sah o thai ai, toe aicae akoephaih loe Sithaw ah ni oh;
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Anih mah ni lokmaih kangtha toksahkung ah oh thaihaih to aicae hanah paek; to toksakhaih loe ca tangoengh ah toksakhaih ih na ai ah, Muithla ah toksakhaih ih ni: ca tangoengh mah loe duekhaih to ohsak, toe Muithla mah loe hinghaih to paek.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face, which was passing away,
Thlung nuiah soi moe, tarik ih ca mah loe duekhaih to ohsak, toe anghmaa thaih koiah oh to mah, Israel caanawk mah Mosi ih mikhmai khet thaih han ai khoek to ah anih ih mikhmai to aangsak nahaeloe,
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
Muithla toksakhaih mah cae loe kawkruk maw aicae han lensawkhaih to omsak aep tih?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Lokcaekhaih kaomsak toksakhaih mah mataeng doeh lensawkhaih to omsak nahaeloe, toenghaih kaomsak toksakhaih mah cae loe kawkruk maw lensawkhaih to om sak aep tih?
10 For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Vaihi lensawkhaih loe paroeai len pongah, canghni ih lensawkhaih loe lensawkhaih ah om ai boeh.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Anghmaa ving thaih hmuen mataeng doeh lensawkhaih ah om nahaeloe, kacak poe hmuen cae loe kawkruk maw lensawkhaih ah om aep tih.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Aicae loe to baktih oephaih a tawnh o pongah, angphathaih om ai ah lok a thuih o.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Israel caanawk mah anghmaa ving thaih aanghaih to boeng khoek to khet o thaih han ai ah, Mosi mah angmah ih mikhmai to kahni hoiah khuk khoep baktih toengah, aicae loe kahni hoiah khuk ai:
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
toe nihcae poekhaih palungthin loe mikmaeng o: vaihi khoek to Lokpaek Kangquem kroek o naah kahni to takhoe o ving ai, mikhmai to a khuk o vop; mikhmai khukhaih kahni loe Kri rang hoiah takhoe ving boeh.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Vaihni ni khoek to, Mosi ih Cabu kroek naah, nihcae ih palung to kahni mah khuk pae khoep vop.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Toe Angraeng khaeah amlaem kami loe, mikhmai khukhaih kahni to takhoe pae ving tih.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Angraeng loe Muithla ah oh: Angraeng ih Muithla ohhaih ahmuen ah, loihhaih to oh.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
Mikhmai khukhaih om ai, aicae boih khaeah loe, hmaidan thungah amtueng baktih toengah, Angraeng lensawkhaih to amtueng, aicae loe Angraeng ih Muithla rang hoiah, lensawkhaih bangah angmah hoi kanghmong ah amkhraihaih hoiah a qoeng o tahang.
