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?
Erah jengli ah seng khuurong pook tiit we baat ih arah likhiik tam ah? Mina wahoh loong ah likhiik, seng raang ih sen suh le phanraangkot tam jamhi adoleh sen jiin nawa phanraangkot ah jamhi?
2 You are our letter, written in our experience with you, that everybody reads and knows about.
Seng maangka di bah sen teeteewah ah ju seng leeraang, mirep miraang ih jattheng ah seng ten ni raangthiin hi.
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.
Erah jatririh, arah le ah Kristo heh teeteewah ih raangta eno erah le ah seng ih sen suh maatti. Erah roong ih raang arah tah angta, ething Rangte Chiiala nawa ih raangta, adoleh jongkhoh ni taraangta mina ten ni raangta.
4 We have total confidence before God through Christ.
Seng arah jengli ah Kristo jun ih Rangte suh kamkam ih tuumaang eno jengli.
5 Not that we would consider ourselves able to do this on our own—it's God who gives us this capacity!
Arah mootkaat ah seng ih jen ih ngeh ih jen chaangjih seng suh tiim uh tajeeka. Seng jen mookaat jih abah Rangte jiin nawa raahala;
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.
jengdang ena jun ih jen mokali abah Rangte thoidi bo ah, erah lakraang hootthe tah angka erabah Chiiala ni. Lakraang hootthe ih bah etek ba chothuk ho, enoothong Chiiala ih bah roidong koho.
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.
Hootthe ah jongkho ni raang kota, eno erah kota adoh Rangte chaan aphaan ah dongjat thuk rumta. Moses the akhoh phaak ah taat moondat adi uh Ijirel mina loong ah ih neng mik ih tanaan sok rumta. Enoobah Hootthe marah ih etek ih thukla ah emathan ih phaakjaaja ang abah,
8 If that was so, shouldn't the new way of relating to God in the Spirit come with even greater glory?
Chiiala nawa ih mokala ah tiimthan ephaak ang ah.
9 If the old way that condemns us has glory, the new way that makes us right with God has so much more glory!
Dut haat etheng banlam ah erah than ih ephaak ang abah; khopiiroidong kotjih banlam ah tang tiimthan ephaak ang ah!
10 For the old that was once glorious has no glory at all in comparison with the incredible glory of the new.
Seng ih jen li eh ih amadi phaakla ah ehan ephaak ang kano maangdi phaakjaaja angta ah emat eh kala.
11 If the old that is fading away had glory, the new that continues has so much more glory.
Eno pootsiit phaakta rah botseh erah than ih phaakta, saarookwet phaakla ah tang tiimthan ephaak ang ah!
12 Since we have such a confident hope, we are truly bold!
Erah thoidi erah suh laalom ih no, seng loong ah rongtangtang angli.
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.
Seng Moses likhiik tah angke, Moses ih bah hethe hekhoh ah moondat kano Ijirel mina loong ih phojat johang ngeh ih hethe hekhoh ah loop eta.
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.
Nengthung nengtak ah, erah di maalah, muuhoom rumta; amadi tuk ih nengthung nengtak ah jengdang ehak ah taatweh rum abah uh maangdi loopta the akhoh likhiik ih emamah ih muuhoom rumha. Neng loopta nyuh abah Kristo damdoh roop ano luulu ba khook haat ah.
15 Even today, whenever the books of Moses are read, a veil covers their minds.
Amadi uh, Moses Hootthe ah weh rum adi erah loopta rah ih neng thung ah muutu thuk rumla.
16 But when they turn and accept the Lord, the veil is removed.
Enoothong, Rangteele ni Moses suh liiha ah likhiik: “Hethe hekhoh loop ah Teesu reeni thok kohaano khook haat eta.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom.
Amadi, “Teesu” ah Chiiala ni; eno marah di Teesu Chiiala jeela, eradi maama pongwan angla.
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.
Erah thoidi, seng loong the akhoh laloop thang ih Teesu chaan aphaan ah sengthe sengkhoh ni phaak thukli, erah Teesu reenawa, phosiitsiit ih phaakla, eno erah langla Chiiala, eno erah ih seng loong ah saarookwet phaak raangtaan ih heh likhiik ih leksiit hali.
