2 Korintuh 3
1 Kamimät kami awhcah bekia mäih lawki aw? Khyang avang hea kba nangmi üngka, am acunüng nangmi üng ngaihsimnaka ca hlü beki aw?
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 Nangmi cun, kami ca, kami mlungmthin üng ng’yuki khyang naküt naw ksing lü ami kheha nami kyaki ni.
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone;
3 Nangmi cun, ca yuknaktui am yuka caa am kya u lü xüngkia Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya am yuka nami kyaki. Lunga khana yuka am kya lü mtisa mlungmthin cauk üng yuk, Khritaw amät naw a yuka ca keimi naw kami lawa ca nami kyaki ti ngsingki.
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.
4 Acukba kami pyenak cun Khritaw üngka Pamhnam üng mlung üpnak kami taka phäha kyaki.
Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
5 Kami mäta khyaihnak am, kami mäta ngaiha iyaw kami bilo theikia am kya. Bilawh thei vaia kami khyaihnak cun Pamhnam üngka naw ni a law ve.
not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
6 Amät kung naw, ngthumkhän kthai khutbi kami bilo khaia jah ngkawihsaki; yuk sawxata ca am kya lü, Ngmüimkhya am kyaki; thum naw thinak lawpüi se ngmüimkhya naw xünak peki.
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 Lunga khana thum yu lü peta kyase Mhnama hlüngtainak ngdang lawki. Mosia müiha vainak a dim law be üng pi Isarel he naw am teng thei u. Thihnak theia thum pi aktäa hlüngtaikia akya üng,
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 Ngmüimkhya bilawhnak cun ihlawka hlüngtai bawk khai ni?
won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
9 Khyang mkatkia khutbinak pi a hlüngtai üng, küikyanak lawpüikia khutbi binak cun ihlawka hlüngtai bawk khai ni.
For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10 Anghnua ve lawkia hlüngtainak cun hlüngtai bawkia kyase, a na hlüngtai khawiki cun bäihki.
For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
11 Asängca khängki üng pi hlüngtainak a awm khawi üng, angläta khängki üng ta ihlawka hlüngtainak awm ksetam khai ni.
For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12 Acukba äpnak awmkia kyase ahmäi üng kami lingki.
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
13 Isarel he naw akvai am hmu u lü ami khyühnak vaia Mosi naw a hmai a bua kba keimi naw ta am bilo ve ung.
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 Ami mlungmthin ä ngsümkia kyaki; atuh vei cäpa ngthumkhän kphyüm ami kheh üng pi ami mlung ä ngsüm khaia acuna jih am ngbueiki he. Khritaw üng ngpang käna ni acuna bunaka jih cun mkhyüha akya ve.
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.
15 Atuh cäpa, Mosia yuk ami kheh üng ami mlungmthin bua kya hamki.
But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Cunsepi, cangcim naw, “Bawipa veia a nghlat la a mlungmthin bunak cun khyüki,” tia Mosia mawng a pyena kba khyük theiki.
But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Hin üng, “Bawipa” cun Ngmüimkhyaa kyaki; Bawipa Ngmüimkhya awmnak naküta lätnak awmki.
Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Acunakyase, mi hmai cun am ngbuei. Bawipaa ngmüimkhya kung naw ani üng mi täng khaia jah pawhki. Acun naw Bawipaa hlüngtainak akvai cun mdan lü.
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.
