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?
Nu ammas of galateeffachuu jalqabnaa ree? Yookaan akka namoota tokko tokkoo xalayaa deeggarsaa gara keessanitti fiduu yookaan isin biraa argachuu nu barbaachisaa ree?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Xalayaan keenya kan namni hundinuu beekuu fi dubbisu kan garaa keenya keessatti barreeffame isinuma.
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.
Isin akka xalayaa Kiristoos, buʼaa tajaajila keenyaa taatan ifa; xalayaan kunis qalamiidhaan utuu hin taʼin Hafuura Waaqa jiraataatiin, gabatee dhagaa irratti utuu hin taʼin gabatee garaa namaa irratti kan barreeffamee dha.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Amantiin nu karaa Kiristoosiin fuula Waaqaa duratti qabnus kan akkanaa ti.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Nu waan tokko illee ofii keenyaan hojjechuuf dandeettii qabna jennee miti; dandeettiin keenya garuu Waaqa irraa dhufa.
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.
Innis akka nu tajaajiltoota kakuu haaraa taanuuf dandeettii nuu kenneera; kakuun kunis kan qubee utuu hin taʼin kan Hafuuraa ti; qubeen ni ajjeesa; Hafuurri garuu jireenya kenna.
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,
Erga tajaajilli duʼa fide kan qubeedhaan dhagaa irratti qirixame sun hamma Israaʼeloonni sababii ulfina isaa kan irraa badaa deemu sanaatiif xiyyeeffatanii fuula Musee ilaaluu hin dandeenyetti ulfinaan dhufee,
8 won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
tajaajilli Hafuuraa immoo hammam caalaa ulfina haa qabaatuu ree?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Erga tajaajilli murtii namatti fidu ulfina qabaatee, tajaajilli qajeelummaa fidu immoo hammam caalaa ulfina haa qabaatu ree!
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.
Wanni ulfina qabeessa ture sun yommuu ulfina caalu biratti ilaalamu amma ulfina hin qabuutii.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Erga wanni yeroodhaaf jiraatu sun ulfinaan dhufee, ulfinni isa bara baraan jiraatuu immoo hammam caalaa guddaa haa taʼu ree!
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Kanaafuu nu abdii akkasii waan qabnuuf baayʼee ija jabaanna.
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.
Nu warra akka Musee isa akka sabni Israaʼel dhuma waan badaa deemu sanaa hin argineef jedhee haguuggiidhaan fuula isaa haguuggatee miti.
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.
Yaadni isaanii garuu hadoodeera; isaan hamma harʼaatti iyyuu yommuu kakuu moofaa dubbisanitti haguuggiin sun isaan irraa hin fuudhamne. Inni Kiristoos qofaan irraa fuudhamaatii.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Hamma harʼaatti illee yeroo isaan seera Musee dubbisanitti haguuggiin yaada garaa isaanii ni haguuga.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Yeroo namni kam iyyuu gara Gooftaatti deebiʼutti garuu haguuggiin sun irraa fuudhama.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Gooftaan Hafuura. Iddoo Hafuurri Gooftaa jiru immoo bilisummaatu jira.
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.
Nu warri utuu fuulli keenya hin haguugamin ulfina Gooftaa calaqqisnu hundi ulfina ittuma caalee guddachaa deemu kan Gooftaa Hafuura taʼe irraa dhufuun gara bifa isaatti geeddaramaa jirra.
