2 Qoronttosa 3
1 Nuni ha7i nurika nuna zaarid galatinoo? Woyko hara asata mala intes gidin woykko intefe haa nuus xaafetida galata dibidabe koshizeshaa?
Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? We do not need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you, do we?
2 Inte qasse asi wuri erizayne nababettiza nu wozina garisan xaafettida dabidabistakko.
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone;
3 Inte qalamen xaafetidayta gidontta deyo Xoossa ayanan xaafetidaytako; Qasseka shuchcha bolla wocceti xaafetidayta gidontta asa wozinan xaafetidaytanne inte nunan go7ettida Kiristossas qonce dabidabistako.
being revealed that you are a letter of Messiah, 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.
4 Kiristoosa baggara nuus Xoossa bolla diza ammanoy hessa milatees.
Such confidence we have through Messiah toward God;
5 Nuna hessas gathiday Xoossafe attin nuni nu woliqan oothidos giza miishshi issinaka baawa.
not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
6 Hesikka pidalen xaafetida wogan gidontta ayanan xaphida ooratha caqo qaala oothanchata nu gidana mala oothides. Gaasoyka pidalen xaafettida wogay wodhees; ayanay gidiko deyo immes.
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.
7 Hessa gishshi Isiraa7eele nayti iza ayfeson diza boncho gaasotethan Muse ayfeso tishshi histi xeloy istta xonana gakanas hessi guyepe dhayanaysine shuchcha bolla pidalen wooceti xaafetidi hayqo oothos gididaysi bonchon qonccizayssa gidiko,
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:
8 Histin ayana oothos waanidi hessafe adhiza bonchoy denee?
won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
9 Asi izan piridetiza oothoy hessa mala bonchetizayssa gidiko asi izan xiilliza oothoy hessafe keehi adhiza bonchoy izas waani deenee?
For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10 Hayssafe kasse bonchetidays hara izape adhiza bonchoy dizaysara gigisishin bonchoy bayndaysa gidides.
For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
11 Dhum dhum bizayssas hessa mala bonchoy dikko medhinas minni eqqi danayssas hessafe keehi adhiza bonchoy waani denee?
For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12 Hessa gishshi hessa mala ufaysi nuus diza gishshi nuni xalatethan hasa7os.
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
13 Isra7eele nayti Muse ayfesoy xoliqizaysa agi agi bishin isti wursetha beyontta mala izi ba ayfeso goozida Muse mala gidokko.
and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel would not look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
14 Gido attin kase gal7a caqo qaalay nababetishin he wode goosazi hachi gakanas kiichontta gishshi ista wozinay doccida mala dees. He gosay ha7ika kiichi beyna. Izikka kiichanay Kiristoosan xalalako.
But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away.
15 Hachi gakanasika Muse maxaafati nababetiza wode he wode goosay ha7ika istta wozina goozi oykees.
But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Gido attin issi uray Godakko simmiza wode gosazi qaareti kichees.
But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Goday ayanako. Goda ayanay dizason ayleteth denna.
Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Nunika Goda boncho mastote mala xoliqetishe iza milatanasi ha bonchofe gede hara bonchon lamistana. Hessikka ayana gidida Godapekko.
But we all, with unveiled face looking as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
