2 Golidia 3
1 Amo sia: ninia sia: beba: le, dilia da nini gasa fi agoane ba: sala: ? O dunu eno agoane, dilia da ninima gousa: musa: , ninia da eno dunuma ninia hou olelema: ne meloa dedei lama: bela: ?
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or are we like some who need letters of commendation to you, or from you?
2 Be dilisu da ninia hou olelemusa: , meloa dedei agoane. Amo meloa dunu huluane ba: ma: ne da ninia dogo amo da: iya dedei diala.
You yourselves are our letter – a letter written on our hearts, and one which everybody can read and understand.
3 Yesu Gelesu Hi fawane da amo meloa dedene, ninia loboga dilima iasi. Amo meloa da nusiga dedei hame, be Gode Ea A: silibu amoga dedei. Amo da igi bianoi da: iya hame dedei, be osobo bagade dunu ilia dogo da: iya dedei dagoi.
All can see that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, a letter written, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Ninia Gode Ea gasa amo Yesu Gelesu Ea hamoi liligi, amo ninia dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, amane sia: sa.
This, then, is the confidence in regard to God that we have gained through the Christ.
5 Ninisu da Gode Ea hawa: hamomu defele hame galebe. Gode Hi fawane da ninima gasa iabeba: le ninia da amo hawa: hamoma: ne gasa gala.
I do not mean that we are fit to form any judgment by ourselves, as if on our own authority;
6 Gaheabolo gousa: su da sema dedei liligi hame, be A: silibuga hamoi liligi. Amo hawa: hamomusa: gini Gode Hi fawane da ninia hou bu afadenei. Be sema dedei fawane dawa: sea, dunu ilia bogosu fawane ba: mu. Be A: silibu Ea hou dawa: sea, eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusu ba: mu.
our fitness comes from God, who himself made us fit to be assistants of a new covenant, of which the substance is, not a written Law, but a Spirit. For the written Law means death, but the Spirit gives life.
7 Gode da Ea Sema nabuane gala, igi bianoi da: iya dedei. Isala: ili dunu ilia amo lale, Gode Ea hadigi ba: i. Mousese ea odagi da hadigi hamoi be amo hadigi da haba: domu agoane ba: i. Be Isala: ili dunu da ea odagi hadigi hamoiba: le, ba: mu gogolei galu. Gode Ea sema da bogosu fawane olelesa. Be amo da hadigi agoane ba: beba: le,
If the system of religion which involved death, embodied in a written Law and engraved on stones, began amid such glory, that the Israelites were unable to gaze at the face of Moses because of its glory, though it was but a passing glory,
8 Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala Ea hamosu liligi (Gode Ea Gousa: su Gaheabolo) da bagade baligiliwane hadigi agoane ba: sa.
will not the religion that confers the Spirit have still greater glory?
9 Sema hou da osobo bagade dunuma se imunusa: fofada: su olelei, amo liligi da hadigi agoane ba: i. Amaiba: le, hou ninima gaga: su olelesu liligi, amo da bagade baligiliwane hadigi agoane ba: sa.
For, if there was a glory in the religion that involved condemnation, far greater is the glory of the religion that confers righteousness!
10 Wali baligiliwane hadigi hou da doaga: beba: le, musa: hadigi da mugululi asi dagoi, amo ninia da sia: sa.
Indeed, that which then had glory has lost its glory, because of the glory which surpasses it.
11 Musa: hadigi hou da fa: no mugulumusa: , fonobahadi fawane dialu. Be wali misi hadigi da eso huluane mae mugululi dialalalumu. Amaiba: le, amo ea hadigi da baligiliwane ba: sa.
And, if that which was to pass away was attended with glory, far more will that which is to endure be surrounded with glory!
12 Ninia da amo hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu liligi lalegaguiba: le, ninia da hame beda: iwane esala.
With such a hope as this, we speak with all plainness;
13 Isala: ili dunu da hadigi Mousese ea odagiga dialu amo mugulumu ba: sa: besa: le, Mousese da ea odagi abulaga dedeboi. Be ninia agoaiwane hame hamosa.
unlike Moses, who covered his face with a veil, to prevent the Israelites from gazing at the disappearance of what was passing away.
14 Ilia dogo da igi agoane hamoi galu. Amola asili wali esoga, ilia musa: sema dedei idisia, ilia asigi dawa: su da fedege agoane abula amoga dedeboi dagoi. Dunu da Yesu Gelesuma madelagi dagoiba: le, fawane, amo dedebosu abula fadegai dagoi ba: sa.
But their minds were slow to learn. Indeed, to this very day, at the public reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; only for those who are in union with Christ does it pass away.
15 Wali eso amolawane, Isala: ili dunu da Mousese ea Sema dedei buga idisia, ilia asigi dawa: su da abulaga dedeboi agoane ba: sa.
But, even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies on their hearts.
16 Be amo dedebosu abula fadegamu logo da gala. Gode Sia: Dedei da Mousese ea hou amane olelesa, “E da Hina Godema sinidigiba: le, ea dedebosu abula fadegai dagoi ba: i.”
Yet, whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
17 Amo sia ganodini, “Hina Gode” dedei da Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala. Amola Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da esalebeba: le, osobo bagade dunu da halegale, udigili lalebe hou dawa: sa.
And the Lord is the Spirit, and, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18 Amaiba: le, ninia huluane ninia odagi dedebosu liligi fadegaiba: le, ninia odagi da Hina Gode Ea hadigi olelesa. Amo hadigi da Hina Gode Ea A: silibu amoga mahabeba: le, amo hadigi da mae fisili heda: sa. Amola Hina Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala, E da nini bu Yesu Gelesu agoane ba: ma: ne, ninia hou afadenenana.
And all of us, with faces from which the veil is lifted, seeing, as if reflected in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into his likeness, from glory to glory, as it is given by the Lord, the Spirit.
