2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
Ke nya siwo meŋlɔ na mi la, ɖe wodze abe míele mía ɖokui kafum enea? Alo ɖe wòhiã mi abe ame aɖewo ene be míatsɔ kafukafugbalẽwo vɛ na mi alo míaxɔ kafukafugbalẽ le mia si mahã?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Miawoe nye míaƒe agbalẽ si woŋlɔ ɖe miaƒe dziwo me, si amewo katã nya, eye woxlẽnɛ.
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of the Messiah ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living Elohim; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Amewo akpɔe be miezu agbalẽ si tso Kristo gbɔ to mía dzi. Menye agbalẽ si woŋlɔ kple nuŋlɔtsi o, ke boŋ esi wotsɔ Mawu gbagbe la ƒe Gbɔgbɔ ŋlɔe ɖe miaƒe dziwo me, ke menye ɖe nuŋlɔkpewo dzi o.
4 And such trust have we through the Messiah toward YHWH:
Míele nya siawo gblɔm kple kakaɖedzi, elabena míeɖo ŋu ɖe Mawu ɖeka hɔ̃ la ko ŋu to Kristo dzi.
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of YHWH;
Míawo la, ŋusẽ aɖeke mele mía si si míate ŋu atsɔ awɔ nu siawo katã o, ke míaƒe ŋusẽ tso Mawu gbɔ.
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Mawue nye ame si na míedze be míanye Nubabla Yeye la ƒe gbeƒãɖelawo. Nubabla Yeye sia to vovo sãa tso xoxoa si nye se siwo woŋlɔ la gbɔ. Ke yeyetɔ nye be míasubɔ Mawu le Gbɔgbɔ me elabena Gbɔgbɔ lae gbɔa agbe ame, ke seawo ɖeɖe ko dzi wɔwɔ kplɔa ame yia ku me.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
Enye nyateƒe be Mose xɔ se siwo woŋlɔ ɖe kpe dzi, siwo dzi mawɔmawɔ hea ku vɛ la, le ŋutikɔkɔe gã aɖe me. Eye esi wòtrɔ gbɔ va kple seawo la, keklẽ gã aɖe ƒo xlãe ale gbegbe be Israelviwo mete ŋu kpɔ eƒe ŋkume gɔ̃ o, gake ŋutikɔkɔe ma nu va yi xoxo.
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
Ke azɔ la, ɖe míakpɔ mɔ na dzidzɔ kple ŋutikɔkɔe geɖe wu le esime Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ subɔsubɔ la le amewo xɔm ɖe agbe le ŋkeke siawo me oa?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Ne ŋutikɔkɔe geɖe ƒo xlã se siwo hea ku vɛ la, ekema ŋutikɔkɔe geɖe fũu ŋutɔe aƒo xlã nubabla yeye si Mawu wɔ, si kplɔa ame yia agbe mavɔ la me.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
Le nyateƒe me la, ŋutikɔkɔe ma si klẽ tso Mose ƒe ŋkume la menye naneke ne woatsɔ asɔ kple esi ƒo xlã Mawu ƒe nubabla yeye la o.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Eya ta ne nu xoxo si nu va yi la kpɔ ŋutikɔkɔe nenema la, ekema Mawu ƒe nubabla yeye si hea agbe mavɔ vɛ la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe la mele gbɔgblɔ me o, elabena eya anɔ anyi ɖaa.
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Azɔ esi mɔkpɔkpɔ sia le mía si ŋuti la, dzika metsoa mía ƒo o, eye míegblɔa nya la kple dzideƒo.
13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
Míawo ya la, míewɔna abe ale si Mose wɔ esi wòtsɔ nu tsyɔ mo be Israelviwo nagakpɔ nu si nu tsina ƒe nuwuwu o la ene.
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in the Messiah.
Va se ɖe egbeŋkekea dzi la, menye Mose ƒe mo ko wotsyɔ nue o, ke boŋ Israelviwo hã ƒe susuwo kple nugɔmesese dzie, elabena wogaɖoa dzi ɖe Nubabla Xoxoa ŋu, eye woxlẽnɛ ɖaa abe nu si ko me woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ le ene, evɔ wònye to Kristo dzixɔse me ko hafi woate ŋu adzo le vivitia me, eye agbe ƒe kekeli la nadze na wo.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Eye va se ɖe fifia ne woxlẽ Mose ƒe Seawo la, nutsyɔnu gatsyɔa wofe mo kokoko.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to YHWH, the vail shall be taken away.
Ke gbe si gbe wo dometɔ aɖe trɔ eye wòxɔ Aƒetɔ la la, ekema nu si tsyɔ mo nɛ si na be wòle viviti me la, ɖena ɖa.
17 Now YHWH is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of YHWH is, there is liberty.
Aƒetɔ la ŋutɔe nye Gbɔgbɔ si naa agbe wo eye afi si Aƒetɔ la ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le ko la, afi mae ablɔɖe le.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of YHWH, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of YHWH.
Ke mí ame siwo katã xɔ Yesu Kristo abe Aƒetɔ ene heɖoa dzi ɖe eŋu la, nutsyɔnu aɖeke mele míaƒe mowo o, eya ta míele abe ahuhɔ̃e si ɖea Aƒetɔ la ƒe keklẽ kple ŋutikɔkɔe fiana la ene. Eye zi ale si Aƒetɔ la si nye Gbɔgbɔ la le dɔ wɔm le mía me la, etrɔa mí be míaɖi Kristo le eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me.
