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?
Ya kut sifilpa konkin kacsr sifacna ke kut kaskas ouinge? Ya kut oana mwet saya ma enenu leta in tukakin kut nu suwos, ku leta in tukakin kut suwos me?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Kowos sifacna pa leta lasr ma simla insiasr, tuh mwet nukewa in riti ac kalem kac.
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.
Kut etu lah Christ sifacna pa simusla leta se inge ac kut tafwela. Simla, tia ke ink, a ke Ngun lun God moul; tia fin eot, a ke insien mwet.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Kut fahk ouinge mweyen ke sripen Christ, yohk lulalfongi lasr ke God.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Wangin kutena ma yorosr ma oru tuh kut in fahk mu kut fal in oru orekma se inge. Kutena ku ma oasr yorosr ma sin God me.
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.
El pa ase ku nu sesr in kulansupu sie wuleang sasu, su tia orekla oana ma sap simla uh, a ma ke Ngun. Tuh ma sap ma simla uh use misa, a Ngun ase moul.
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,
Kais sie leta ke Ma Sap tuh tafleyuk ke eot, ac wolana lun God sikme ke pacl se orekla ah. Saromrom ke mutal Moses finne fahsr in efla, a srakna yohk kuiya pwanang mwet Israel koflana ngetang suilya. Wolana ke Ma Sap uh (su pwanang in oasr misa) fin ouinge,
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
fuka yokiyen wolana su tuku ke orekma lun Ngun!
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Oasr wolana ke oakwuk se ma pwanang mwet uh lisyukla, na ac fuka yokiyen wolana ke oakwuk se su pwanang mwet uh moliyukla!
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.
Ke sripen arulana yohk kalem lun wolana se inge, kut ku in fahk mu wolana se meet ah wanginla wolana kac.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Fin pwaye lah oasr wolana ke ma su tuh oan ke kitin pacl, ac fuka lupan yokiyen wolana ke ma su ac oan ma pahtpat!
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Ke sripen oasr finsrak se inge yorosr, kut arulana pulaik.
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.
Kut tia oana Moses, su tuh sang ipin nuknuk se in afinya mutal tuh mwet Israel in tia liye ke saromrom sac efla ac wanginla.
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.
Aok pwaye lah nunak lalos kauli; ac nwe misenge nunkalos srakna afyufi ke elos riti book lun wuleang matu. Mwe afyuf se inge ac fah tia itukla nwe ke pacl se sie mwet el kupasryang nu sin Christ.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Finne misenge, ke pacl elos riti Ma Sap lal Moses, mwe afyuf sac srakna lisringya nunak lalos.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Tusruktu ac ku in itukla, oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl Moses: “Ma se ma afinya mutal itukla ke pacl el forang nu sin Leum.”
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
“Leum” se ma srumunyuk in verse se inge pa Ngun, ac yen Ngun lun Leum oasr we, oasr sukosok we.
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.
Ouinge kut nukewa tolyukyak ke wolana lun Leum, ac kalmelik nu saya ke wangin ma afinyen mutasr. Wolana se inge, su ma sin Leum, aok Ngun, pa ikilkutla nu ke lumahl sifacna, ac yokyokelik in pacl nukewa.
