< 2 Corinthians 3 >
1 Are we starting to speak well of ourselves again? Or do we need to have some letter of recommendation for you, or from you, as some people do?
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: ?
2 You are our letter, written in our experience with you, that everybody reads and knows about.
Be dilisu da ninia hou olelemusa: , meloa dedei agoane. Amo meloa dunu huluane ba: ma: ne da ninia dogo amo da: iya dedei diala.
3 You demonstrate that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us; not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not written on stone slabs but in our living experience as human beings.
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.
4 We have total confidence before God through Christ.
Ninia Gode Ea gasa amo Yesu Gelesu Ea hamoi liligi, amo ninia dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, amane sia: sa.
5 Not that we would consider ourselves able to do this on our own—it's God who gives us this capacity!
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.
6 He also gave us the ability to be ministers of a new agreement, based not on the letter of the law, but on the spirit. The letter of the law kills, but the spirit gives life.
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.
7 However, the old way of relating to God, written in letters carved in stone, ended in death, even though it came with God's glory—so much so that the Israelites couldn't even bear to look at Moses' face because it shone so brightly, even though the glory was fading.
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,
8 If that was so, shouldn't the new way of relating to God in the Spirit come with even greater glory?
Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala Ea hamosu liligi (Gode Ea Gousa: su Gaheabolo) da bagade baligiliwane hadigi agoane ba: sa.
9 If the old way that condemns us has glory, the new way that makes us right with God has so much more glory!
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.
10 For the old that was once glorious has no glory at all in comparison with the incredible glory of the new.
Wali baligiliwane hadigi hou da doaga: beba: le, musa: hadigi da mugululi asi dagoi, amo ninia da sia: sa.
11 If the old that is fading away had glory, the new that continues has so much more glory.
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.
12 Since we have such a confident hope, we are truly bold!
Ninia da amo hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu liligi lalegaguiba: le, ninia da hame beda: iwane esala.
13 We don't have to be like Moses, who had to put on a veil to cover his face so the Israelites wouldn't be dazzled by the glory, even though it was fading away.
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.
14 In spite of that, they had a hard, stubborn attitude. For right up until today when the old agreement is read, the same “veil” remains. Only through Christ can it be removed.
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.
15 Even today, whenever the books of Moses are read, a veil covers their minds.
Wali eso amolawane, Isala: ili dunu da Mousese ea Sema dedei buga idisia, ilia asigi dawa: su da abulaga dedeboi agoane ba: sa.
16 But when they turn and accept the Lord, the veil is removed.
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.”
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom.
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.
18 So all of us, with our faces unveiled, see and reflect the glory of the Lord as in a mirror. We are being transformed into the same mirror image, whose glory grows brighter and brighter. This is what the Lord the Spirit does.
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.
