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?
Yabon kanmu ne kuma muka fara yi? Ko kuwa muna bukatar wasiƙun yabo ne zuwa gare ku, ko daga gare ku, kamar yadda waɗansu suke yi?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Ai, ku kanku ku ne wasiƙarmu, wadda aka rubuta a zukatanku, domin kowa yă santa, yă kuma karanta ta.
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.
Kun nuna cewa ku wasiƙa ce daga Kiristi, sakamakon hidimarmu, ba wadda aka rubuta da inki ba, sai dai da Ruhun Allah mai rai. Ba kuma a kan allunan dutse ba, sai dai a kan allunan zukatan mutane.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Amincewa kamar wannan shi ne namu ta wurin Kiristi a gaban Allah.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Ba mu da wani abin da za mu nuna cewa da iyawarmu ne muke aikin nan. Iyawarmu daga wurin Allah ne.
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.
Shi ya sa muka gwaninta a matsayinmu na masu hidimar sabon alkawari ba ta rubutacciyar Dokar ba, amma ta Ruhu; don Dokar, kisa take yi, Ruhu kuwa yana ba da rai.
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,
To, in hidimar da ta kawo mutuwa, wadda an rubuta a kan allon dutse, ta zo da ɗaukaka har Isra’ilawa suka kāsa duban fuskar Musa saboda tsananin haskenta, ko da yake mai shuɗewa ce,
8 will not service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
ashe, hidimar Ruhu ba za tă fi wannan ɗaukaka ba?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
In hidimar da take jawo wa mutane hukunci tana da ɗaukaka haka, to, lalle, hidimar da take kawo adalci za tă fi ta ɗaukaka nesa!
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.
Gama abin da dā take da ɗaukaka, ba ta da ɗaukaka a yanzu, in aka kwatantata da mafificiyar ɗaukaka ta yanzu.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
In kuma aba mai shuɗewa ta zo da ɗaukaka, ashe, abin da yake dawwammame, lalle ne yă kasance da ɗaukakar da ta fi haka nesa!
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Da yake muna da bege irin wannan, to, muna da ƙarfin zuciya sosai ke nan.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face so that the children of Israel would not look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Mu ba kamar Musa ba ne, wanda ya rufe fuskarsa da lulluɓi, don kada Isra’ilawa su ga ƙarewar ɗaukakan nan mai shuɗewa.
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.
Amma aka sa hankulansu suka dushe, gama har yă zuwa yau akwai lulluɓin nan a duk sa’ad da ake karatun tsohon alkawari. Ba a kawar da shi ba, sai a cikin Kiristi ne kaɗai ake kawar da shi.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Har yă zuwa yau, duk sa’ad da ake karatun littattafan Musa, lulluɓin nan yakan rufe zukatansu.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Amma duk sa’ad da wani ya juyo ga Ubangiji, akan kawar da lulluɓin.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Ubangiji fa, shi ne Ruhu, kuma duk inda Ruhun Ubangiji yake, a nan’yanci yake.
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.
Mu da ba mu da lulluɓi a fuskokinmu duk muna nuna ɗaukakar Ubangiji, ana sauya mu mu ɗauki kamanninsa cikin ɗaukaka mai hauhawa. Ubangiji wanda yake ruhu kuwa shi ne mai zartar da haka.
