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?
Rugrugianmi kadi manen a padayawan dagiti bagbagimi? Saanmi a kasapulan dagiti surat a mangirekomendar kadakami kadakayo wenno manipud kadakayo, a kas kadagiti dadduma a tattao, kasapulanmi kadi?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men,
Dakayo a mismo ti surat a mangirekomendar kadakami, a naisurat kadagiti puspusomi, a naammoan ken nabasa dagiti amin a tattao.
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.
Ken ipakpakitayo a dakayo ket surat manipud kenni Cristo, nga inyawatmi. Naisurat daytoy saan a babaen iti tinta ngem babaen iti Espiritu ti sibibiag a Dios. Saan a naisurat daytoy kadagiti tapi ti bato, ngem kadagiti tapi dagiti puspuso dagiti tattao.
4 Such confidence we have through Christ toward God,
Ket daytoy ti kinatalged nga adda kadakami iti Dios babaen kenni Cristo.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,
Saankami a natalged kadagiti bagbagimi a mangaklon a naggapu kadakami ti aniaman a banag. Ngem ketdi, ti kabaelanmi ket naggapu iti Dios.
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.
Ta ti Dios ti nangted kadakami iti kabaelan nga agbalin nga adipen iti baro a tulag. Daytoy a tulag ket saan a naggapu iti surat ngem iti Espiritu. Ta ti surat ket pumatay, ngem ti Espiritu ket mangmangted iti biag.
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,
Ita, ti aramid iti patay a naikitikit kadagiti letra kadagiti bato ket immay iti kasta unay a kinadayag a dagiti tattao ti Israel a saanda nabaelan ti kumita ti rupa ni Moises. Gapu daytoy iti dayag iti rupana, maysa a dayag nga agpukpukaw.
8 will not service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
Saan kadi nga ad-adda pay a nadaydayag ti trabaho iti Espiritu?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
Ta no adda dayag ti trabaho ti pannakaukom, ad-adda pay ti kinadayag ti trabaho iti kinalinteg!
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.
Ta pudno unay, a ti naminsan a napagbalin a nadayag ket saanen a nadayag gapu iti dayag a nangartap iti daytoy.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Ta no addaan iti dayag ti mapukpukawen, ad-adda pay ti kinadayag ti agtalinaed!
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Agsipud ta addaankami iti kasta a kinatalged, naturedkami unay.
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.
Saankami a kas kenni Moises a nangikabil iti dalungdong iti rupana tapno saan a makita dagiti tattao iti Israel ti pagpatinggaan ti mapukpukawen a dayag.
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.
Ngem nakullaapan dagiti panpanunotda. Uray agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw ti isu met laeng a dalungdong ket agtaltalinaed iti panagbasa iti daan a tulag. Saan a nalukatan daytoy, gapu ta babaen laeng kenni Cristo a naaramid daytoy.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Ngem uray ita, tunggal basaenda dagiti insurat ni Moises, adda dalungdong kadagiti puspusoda.
16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Ngem no sumango ti maysa tao iti Apo, maingato a maiyadayo ti dalungdongna.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Ita, ti Dios ket ti Espiritu. Sadinoman nga ayan ti Espiritu ti Dios, adda wayawaya.
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.
Ita, amintayo nga awan ti abbong ti rupana, ket makitatayo ti dayag ti Apo. Mabalbaliwantayo iti isu met laeng a kinadayag manipud iti maysa a tukad ti kinadayag nga agturong iti sabali pay a kinadayag, kas naggapu iti Apo, nga isu ti Espiritu.
