< 2 Corinthians 3 >
1 Doe we begin to praise our selues againe? or neede we as some other, epistles of recommendation vnto you, or letters of recommendation from you?
Anga nĩtũraambĩrĩria gũcooka kwĩgaathĩrĩria? Kana hihi nĩtũbataire kũheo marũa ma gũtũgaathĩrĩria kũrĩ inyuĩ kana moimĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ ta andũ arĩa angĩ?
2 Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men,
Inyuĩ ene nĩ inyuĩ marũa maitũ, maandĩkĩtwo ngoro-inĩ ciitũ, mamenyekete na magathomagwo nĩ andũ othe.
3 In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
Inyuĩ nĩmuonanagia atĩ mũrĩ marũa moimĩte kũrĩ Kristũ, inyuĩ mũrĩ maciaro ma ũtungata witũ, marũa mataandĩkĩtwo na rangi, no maandĩkĩtwo na Roho wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ muoyo. Matiandĩkĩtwo ihengere-inĩ cia mahiga, no maandĩkĩtwo ihengere-inĩ cia ngoro cia andũ.
4 And such trust haue we through Christ to God:
Ũcio nĩguo ũũmĩrĩru witũ harĩ Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa Kristũ.
5 Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God,
Na ti atĩ tũrĩ na ũhoti ithuĩ ene tũngĩĩgaathĩra, no ũhoti witũ uumaga kũrĩ Ngai.
6 Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life.
Nĩwe ũtũhotithĩtie tũtuĩke ndungata cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa kĩerũ, nakĩo ti kĩa ũhoro ũrĩa mwandĩke, no nĩ kĩa Roho; nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa mwandĩke nĩ kũũraga ũragaga, no Roho aheanaga muoyo.
7 If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.)
Na rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ũtungata ũrĩa wa tene, ũrĩa wandĩkĩtwo na ndemwa ihengere-inĩ cia mahiga, wokire ũrĩ na riiri, o nginya andũ a Isiraeli makĩremwo nĩgũikara marorete ũthiũ wa Musa tondũ wa ũrĩa warĩ na riiri, o na gũtuĩka riiri ũcio nĩwathiraga-rĩ,
8 Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious?
githĩ ũtungata wa Roho to ũgĩkorwo ũkĩrĩ na riiri makĩria?
9 For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie.
Angĩkorwo ũtungata ũrĩa ũtuaga andũ ehia nĩ ũrĩ riiri-rĩ, githĩ ũtungata ũrĩa ũrehaga ũthingu ndũngĩgĩkorwo ũrĩ na riiri makĩria!
10 For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie.
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa warĩ na riiri mbere, rĩu ndũrĩ na riiri ũkĩringithanio na riiri ũcio ũngĩ ũũkĩrĩte.
11 For if that which should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
Na angĩkorwo ũhoro ũcio wathiraga wokire na riiri-rĩ, ũcio ũngĩ wa gũtũũra ndũngĩgĩkorwo na riiri makĩria!
12 Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, twaragia ũhoro tũũmĩrĩirie mũno, nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩu.
13 And we are not as Moses, which put a vaile vpon his face, that the children of Israel should not looke vnto the ende of that which should be abolished.
Ithuĩ tũtitariĩ ta Musa, ũrĩa wehumbagĩra ũthiũ na gĩtambaya nĩguo agirĩrĩrie andũ a Isiraeli gũcũthĩrĩria ũthiũ wake rĩrĩa ũkengi ũcio wathiraga.
14 Therefore their mindes are hardened: for vntill this day remaineth the same couering vntaken away in the reading of the olde Testament, which vaile in Christ is put away.
No rĩrĩ, meciiria mao nĩmaritirio, nĩgũkorwo nginya ũmũthĩ gĩtambaya o kĩu gĩkoragwo o ho hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩkũrũ kĩao gĩgũthomwo. Gĩtambaya kĩu gĩtirĩ kĩeherio, tondũ kĩeheragio nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia Kristũ.
15 But euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts.
O na nginya ũmũthĩ rĩrĩa watho wa Musa ũgũthomwo-rĩ, gĩtambaya kĩu no kĩhumbagĩra ngoro ciao.
16 Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away.
No rĩrĩa rĩothe mũndũ o na ũ agarũrũkĩra Mwathani-rĩ, gĩtambaya kĩu nĩkĩeheragio.
17 Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.
Na rĩrĩ, Mwathani nĩwe Roho, na harĩa Roho wa Mwathani arĩ, hau nĩ harĩ na wĩyathi.
18 But we al behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face, and are changed into the same image, from glorie to glorie, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Na ithuĩ ithuothe arĩa tũtahumbĩrĩte mothiũ maitũ, nĩtũhenahenagia riiri wa Mwathani ta tũrĩ icicio, na nĩtũgarũragwo nĩguo tũhaanane nake tũrĩ na riiri wa gũtũũra ũrĩa ũthiiaga o ũkĩongererekaga, o uumĩte kũrĩ Mwathani, ũrĩa arĩ we Roho.
