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?
Muna fara sake yabon kanmu ne? Ba mu bukatar wasikun shaida daga gare ku ko zuwa gare ku, kamar wadansu mutane, ko ba haka ba?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Ku da kanku kune wasikar shaidarmu, wadda aka rubuta a zukatanmu, wadda Kuma dukan mutane suka sani suke kuma karantawa.
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Kuma kun nuna ku wasika ne daga Almasihu, wadda muka isar. Ba da tawada aka rubuta ta ba amma da Ruhun Allah mai rai. Ba bisa allunan duwatsu aka rubuta ta ba, amma bisa allunan zukatan mutane.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
Gama wannan ne gabagadin da muke da shi cikin Allah ta wurin Almasihu.
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
Ba mu da wata gwanintar kanmu da za mu yi takamar wani abu ya zo daga gare mu. Maimakon haka, gwanintar mu daga Allah take.
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.
Allah ne ya maishe mu kwararrun bayi na sabon alkawari. Wannan alkawari ne ba na rubutu ba amma na Ruhu. Gama rubutu kisa yake yi, amma Ruhu rai yake bayarwa.
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:
To hidimar da ta haifar da mutuwa- wadda aka rubuta bisa duwatsu- ta zo cikin irin wannan daukaka da har Israila ba su iya kallon fuskar Musa kai tsaye ba. Wannan kuwa saboda daukakar da ke fuskarsa ne, daukaka mai shudewa.
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
Ina misalin girman daukakar hidimar da Ruhu ke yi?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
Gama idan hidimar kayarwa tana da daukaka, ina misalin yalwatar daukaka da hidimar adalchi za ta yi!
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
Babu shakka, abin da aka maishe shi mai daukaka a da, ba ya da sauran daukaka a wannan fanni, saboda irin daukakar da ta zarce shi.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
To idan har mai shudewar nan ya na da daukaka, ina misalin daukakar da abu na dindindin zai samu!
12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Dashike muna da wannan tabbaci, muna da gabagadi sosai.
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:
Ba kamar Musa muke ba wanda ya sa mayafi ya rufe fuskarsa, ta yadda mutanen Isra'ila basu iya kallon karshen daukaka mai shudewa ba kai tsaye.
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 Christ.
Amma tunaninsu ya zama a rufe. Har yau kuwa mayafin na nan sa'adda ake karanta tsohon alkawari. Ba a bude shi ba, saboda a cikin Almasihu ne kadai ake kawar da shi.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Amma har yau, duk lokacin da ake karanta littafin Musa, akwai mayafi shimfide a zukatansu.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Amma sa'adda mutum ya juyo wurin Ubangiji, an kawar da mayafin.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
To Ubangiji shine Ruhun. Inda Ruhun Ubangiji yake, akwai 'yanci.
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Dukan mu yanzu, da fuskoki marasa mayafi, muna ganin daukakar Ubangiji. Muna samun sakewa zuwa cikin irin wannan daukaka, daga wannan mataki na daukaka zuwa wani matakin, kamar dai daga wurin Ubangiji, wanda shine Ruhun.
