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?
Keimaho le keimaho kichang seiphat bol a kahiuvem? Keiho hi midangho banga seiphatna lekha poa hung ding kahiuvem? Ahilouleh amaho thalhenga lekhathot jih dinga kon na nganseu vem? Koima umponte.
2 You are our letter, written in our experience with you, that everybody reads and knows about.
Keihon seiphatna lekha kangeh u chu nangho tah nahiuve. Na hinkho man danu hi kalung sunguva kijihlut mitin in asim theiyu chule nalah uva napha katoh u mihon ahin hetdoh u chu ahitai.
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.
Nangho hi Christa a kona lekhathot chu nahiuvin, nalah uva lhachana katoh doh'u kavetsah'u nahi tauve. Hiche lekhathot hi lekhatwiya kijihdoh hilouvin, Pathen hing lhagao toh kithoa kijihdoh chu ahi. Hichu songpheng chunga lekhajem chu hita louva mihem lungsunga kona kijih doh chu ahi.
4 We have total confidence before God through Christ.
Keihon hicheho jouse chunga kakison nau chu Christa jal'a Pathen katahsanu chu ahi.
5 Not that we would consider ourselves able to do this on our own—it's God who gives us this capacity!
Hichu keima hon keiho changseh bou abol dinga gunchena neija kahiuve katinau ahipoi. Gunchena kaneiyu hi Pathena kon ahiye.
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.
Aman keiho hi Amaa Kitepna Thah lhacha ho hidinga boltheina eipeh u ahitai. Hiche Kitepna hi akijih dohsa Danbua kon hilouva, Lhagaova kon ahijo bouve. Kitepna Lui akijihdoh sapa chu thina a kichaiya ahin, hinla Kitepna Thah a Lhagaovin hinna apeh ahi.
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.
Lamlui, songphenga kijih chun thina asodoh in ahi, loupina nasatah Israel mipi ten ana vetngam lou u Mose maivah'a kipan ahivangin. Ajeh chu amaivah chu Pathen loupina toh vahtha ahin, hiche vah chu akem suhsuh in amang jenge.
8 If that was so, shouldn't the new way of relating to God in the Spirit come with even greater glory?
Tua hi eihon Lhagao Thengin hinna apeh jeh a lampi thah a chu loupina lenjo lampi thah a chu iginchat diu hilou ham?
9 If the old way that condemns us has glory, the new way that makes us right with God has so much more glory!
Lamluiya themmo channa polut bon chu aloupia ahileh Pathen toh kilungtoh lampi thah chu iti loupi jocheh ding hitam?
10 For the old that was once glorious has no glory at all in comparison with the incredible glory of the new.
Tahbeh mongin lampithah a Kitepna Thah aloupi dan hi loupina masa chuto tekahpi thei ahipoi.
11 If the old that is fading away had glory, the new that continues has so much more glory.
Hitia lampilui chu kheldoh ahitah a ahileh, ichan geiya athah tonsot'a um chu loupijo cheh ding hi tam?
12 Since we have such a confident hope, we are truly bold!
Hiche lampi thah chu eiho eikipeuva ahitah leh eiho hatah a lungngam ding ihitauve.
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.
Eiho hi, Mosen aloupina amai pon'a akhu khum Israel mipi ten avetngam lou u tobang chu ihipouve, hiche aloupina chu kemmang dinga kigongsa ahi.
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.
Ahivangin mipite lunggel chu atahsahjo cheh in, chule tuni geiyin jong Kitepna Lui akisim doh chanin, hiche ponlukhu chun amaiyu akhu khumun, thutah chu ahekhen theiji tapouve. Chule hiche ponlukhuh hi Christa tahsan jal'a bou kisubei theiyah ahi.
15 Even today, whenever the books of Moses are read, a veil covers their minds.
Ahi, tulai nikho jengin jong Mose lekhabuho asimlai chanun, alungthimu hiche ponlukhu chun atomjin, chule amahon ahekhen theiji tapouve.
16 But when they turn and accept the Lord, the veil is removed.
Hinlah mi koiham khat chu Pakaiya ahung kihei tengleh, ponlukhu chu lahdoh ahitai.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom.
Ajeh iham itileh Pakai chu Lhagao ahin, chule Pakai Lhagao umna chan chu chamlhatna ahi.
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.
Chutia chu eimaho jouse ponlukhu kiladoh chengse hi Pakai loupina chu mua chule tahlang'ah ihitauve. Chule Pakai chu Lhagao ahin, chule eiho Ama loupina mela chu kikhel cheh cheh a ihitauve.
