< 2 Ukorintiyawa 3 >

1 Ticizin uru nati bite tutunggha? Nati nin su nimung iyartinu runani udu kiti mine sa unuzu kiti bit ba nafo among anit ti nin suwe?
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some do, letters of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Anun ati mine uyertinari uru nati bite ma uyertinari nanya nibinai bite tiyiru nin yenju nanit vat
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3 Inanin duru anughere iyertinu unuzu Krist, natinan, na ma yertin nin nimonye ba bara nanin nin fep milau Kutelle unan la, na kite ne natala ba bara nanya nibinai nanit.
you are well known to be a letter of Christ, written by us as his ministers, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 Ulele re taa nari tidimun kibinai likara kite nen Kutelle nanya Kristi.
Now, confidence such as this we have, through the Christ, toward God;
5 Na bara arikin mbatin ba nin nati bite, tida nimomong unuzu kiti bit b, bara nani indart biti Kutelleri.
not that we are able, of ourselves, to devise anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God,
6 Ame ule na ada nanarin tibatina acinme nalikawali apese ni nanya niyart ba nani nanya ife. bara iyerte din mols, nan wan infep milau din nizu ulai,
who has made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit makes alive.
7 Nene wase katua ukul ka na sau nin niyyart kitene natalla wa daming liruu nkanang na anitin Israaila wa yenje Musaku mmuro me bara liruu nkanang mmurome, mongo na mina wulu dedei.
For if the ministering of death, by means of a covenant that was written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the sons of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, which glory was to come to an end:
8 Na katwa nkanang fep katin lane ba ning gegeme ba?
how shall not the ministering of the spirit be more glorious?
9 nani katwa nca ukule3e nwa cau nani kanang in gbardan!
For if the ministering of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministering of righteousness surpass in glory.
10 Bara tutung ule na i a dak nin kanan, na iduu nin kanang mone nanya kikane ba, bara na moo nkananghe katin minin.
For that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that surpasses.
11 na ile na idinin nkanang na midin katiz, ile na ina son sa liging ma yitu iyizi!
For if that which was to come to an end was glorious, much more that which is to remain is glorious.
12 Bar na tidinin nayi akon, nadinin fiu ba.
Since then we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech,
13 Na nafo Muse ule na a wa tursu umuro me nin lisa, bara na anit Israila wa yene ugongon nkanang umuro me na midin malusu ba.
and do not as Moses did, who put a vail over his face, so that the sons of Israel could not steadily look to the end of that which was to come to an end.
14 Baranani nibinai mine wa turdu, nin dak kitimone kjesi kune duu ketene yenju ni yerta nalikawali akus na isa puno b, bara na nanya Kristiari cas ia sa i kala mung.
But their minds were blinded: for till this day, in the reading of the old covenant, the same vail remains not taken away, which vail is removed in Christ.
15 Bara nanin udak kitimon, awadin yenju niyert Mus, kuyasi kune duu nibinai mine.
But to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart:
16 Bara unit nwa kpilu kitin Nci, kujase kone ba kalu kalu kidowo.
but whenever their heart shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Nene ufere mfipppe. A kuca na mfippin ncife duku asu ubalino.
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Nene vat bite, na upuno nara timuro bite tedin yenju nkanan Ncif, idin sakizu nari udu nkanang mirume unuzu mon nkanan udu minu bu, nafo na moone nuzu kitin Cifere na amere nfipe.
And we all, with unvailed face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Lord the Spirit.
