2 Kawrin 3
1 Kaimih oep hamla koep ka tong uh a? Nangmih taengkah neh nangmih lamkah capat te oepsa bet banglam khaw ka kuek uh pawt maco?
Are we beginning again ourselves to commend? (Or *N+kO) surely not we need like some commendatory letters to you or from you (commendatory [letters]? *k)
2 Kaimih kah capat tah nangmih ni. Kaimih kah thinko ah a tarhit coeng. Te dongah hlang boeih loh a ming tih a tae coeng.
The letter of us you yourselves are inscribed in the hearts of us, being known and being read by all men,
3 Kaimih kah tho ka thueng thil, Khrih kah capat la na om uh te phoe coeng. Cahang nen pawt tih aka hing Pathen Mueihla nena tarhit coeng. Lungto lungphaih dongah pawt tih pumsa thinko lungphaih dongah ni a tarhit coeng.
being revealed that you are a letter of Christ having been ministered to by us inscribed not in ink but with [the] Spirit of God [the] living, not on tablets of stone but on tablets (of hearts *N+KO) human.
4 Te dongah tebang pangtungnah te Khrih lamloh Pathen taengah ng'khueh uh coeng.
Confidence now such we have through Christ toward God;
5 Mamih lamkah vanbangla pakhat khaw poek hamla mamih lamloh a cung a boeng la ng'om uh moenih. Tedae mamih kah tatthainah tah Pathen taeng lamkah ni.
Not for from ourselves sufficient we are to reckon anything as of (ourselves, *NK+O) but the sufficiency of us [is] of God,
6 Anih loh paipi thai kaha tueihyoeih la mamih n'saii. Tedae cabu nen pawt tih mueihla nen ni n'saii. Cabu loh a ngawn dae mueihla loh a hing sak.
who also has made competent us [as] ministers of a new covenant, not of [the] letter but of [the] Spirit; the for letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 Lungto dongah catham la a tarhit dueknah kah bibi long pataeng thangpomnah neh om. Te dongah a maelhmai kah thangpomnah a hma dongah Moses kah maelhmai te Israel ca rhoek loh hmaitang thai pawh.
If now the ministry of death in (letters *NK+o) engraved (in *k) stones was produced in glory, so as for not to be able to look intently the sons of Israel into the face of Moses on account of the glory of the face of him which is fading,
8 Mueihla kah bibi tah thangpomnah neh muep om ngai mahpawt nim.
how surely more the ministry of the Spirit will be in glory?
9 Laipupnah kah bibi te thangpomnah neh a om atah duengnah kah bibi tah thangpomnah muep coih ngai ta.
If for (to the *N+kO) ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more abounds the ministry of righteousness (in *k) glory!
10 Tahae kah thangpomnah a baetawt kongah cungvang tah a thangpom tangtae long khaw thangpom voel pawh.
Even for (not *N+kO) has been glorified that glorified in this respect on account of the surpassing [it] glory.
11 Aka paci long pataeng thangpomnah neh a om atah aka kuei long tah thangpomnah dongah muep om ngai ni ta.
If for that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
12 Te ngaiuepnah a om dongah ni sayalh la phet phet n'rhoidoeng uh.
Having therefore such hope great boldness we use,
13 Te dongah a maelhmai lumuekhni aka khueh thil Moses bangla a om moenih. Te daengah ni Israel ca rhoek loh a hmaitang vetih tiha tloihsoi la a paci uh pawt eh.
and not as Moses was putting a veil over the face (of himself *N+kO) for not to look intently the sons of Israel into the end of that fading away;
14 Tedae amih kah poeknah loh ning uh. Amah tihnin khohnin duela paipi rhuem kah taenah dongah lumuekhni neh om pueng tih aa lim pawt te Khrih ah a khoe coeng.
But were hardened the minds of them. Until for the present (day *no) the same veil at the reading of the old covenant remains not being lifted, (for *N+kO) in Christ is being removed,
15 Tedae tihnin duela Moses cabua tae uh vaengah tah lumuekhni loh amih thinko te a yalh thil pueng.
But unto this day when (ever *no) (may be read *N+kO) Moses, a veil over the heart of them lies;
16 Tedae Boeipa taengah a mael vaengah tah lumuekhni te a khoe pah.
When however (ever *N+kO) [one] shall have turned to [the] Lord, is taken away the veil.
17 Boeipa tah mueihla la om coeng. Te dongah Boeipa mueihla a om nah ah poenghalnah om.
The now Lord the Spirit is; where now the Spirit of [the] Lord [is] (there *k) [is] freedom.
18 Mamih boeih loh Boeipa kah thangpomnah maelhmai neh n'lim uh tih amah mueimae te kap coeng. Te dongah Boeipa mueihla lamkah van bangla thangpomnah lamkah thangpomnah la n'thohai uh coeng.
We ourselves now all unveiled in face the glory of [the] Lord beholding as in a mirror, the same image are being transformed into from glory to glory even as from [the] Lord [the] Spirit.
