2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Unless we need, as some men, commendatory letters to you or commendatory from you?
Kamimät kami awhcah bekia mäih lawki aw? Khyang avang hea kba nangmi üngka, am acunüng nangmi üng ngaihsimnaka ca hlü beki aw?
2 Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Nangmi cun, kami ca, kami mlungmthin üng ng’yuki khyang naküt naw ksing lü ami kheha nami kyaki ni.
3 being seen that ye are a letter of Christ, administered by us, written not in ink, but in the Spirit of the living God, not in stony tablets, but in fleshly tablets, in hearts.
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.
4 And we have such confidence toward God through Christ,
Acukba kami pyenak cun Khritaw üngka Pamhnam üng mlung üpnak kami taka phäha kyaki.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to reckon anything as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,
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.
6 who also made us qualified helpers of a new covenant, not of a document, but of a Spirit, for the document kills but the Spirit makes alive.
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.
7 But if the administration of death in writings engraved on stones occurred in glory, so that the sons of Israel could not gaze upon the face of Moses because of the fading glory of his countenance,
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,
8 how will the administration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
Ngmüimkhya bilawhnak cun ihlawka hlüngtai bawk khai ni?
9 For if the administration of condemnation has glory, the administration of righteousness excels much more in glory.
Khyang mkatkia khutbinak pi a hlüngtai üng, küikyanak lawpüikia khutbi binak cun ihlawka hlüngtai bawk khai ni.
10 For also that which has been glorified, has not been glorified in this regard, because of the glory that transcends.
Anghnua ve lawkia hlüngtainak cun hlüngtai bawkia kyase, a na hlüngtai khawiki cun bäihki.
11 For if that which is abolished was through glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Asängca khängki üng pi hlüngtainak a awm khawi üng, angläta khängki üng ta ihlawka hlüngtainak awm ksetam khai ni.
12 Having therefore such a hope we use great boldness,
Acukba äpnak awmkia kyase ahmäi üng kami lingki.
13 and are not as Moses. He put a veil over his face in order for the sons of Israel not to gaze on the end of the fading.
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.
14 But their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old testament, not being uncovered, which thing is abolished in Christ.
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.
15 But to this day when Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.
Atuh cäpa, Mosia yuk ami kheh üng ami mlungmthin bua kya hamki.
16 But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.
Cunsepi, cangcim naw, “Bawipa veia a nghlat la a mlungmthin bunak cun khyüki,” tia Mosia mawng a pyena kba khyük theiki.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Hin üng, “Bawipa” cun Ngmüimkhyaa kyaki; Bawipa Ngmüimkhya awmnak naküta lätnak awmki.
18 But we all, with unveiled face seeing by reflection the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness from glory to glory, just as from the Spirit of the Lord.
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.
