< 2 Corinthians 3 >
1 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? We do not need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you, do we?
¿La kaqabꞌij kꞌu we riꞌ rech kujikꞌamawaꞌj? O ¿la xa kaqata bꞌik jun qawuj chiꞌwe rech kujichilibꞌej bꞌik che jun chik jetaq kakibꞌan e jujun?
2 You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone;
Ix riꞌ ri jer ix kꞌo wuj tzꞌibꞌatalik pa ri qanimaꞌ, etaꞌmatalik xuqujeꞌ sikꞌital iwach kumal konojel.
3 being revealed that you are a letter of Messiah, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Ruach of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Ix jer ix kꞌo jun wuj ri utzꞌibꞌam ri Cristo ri kaqataq bꞌik chike nikꞌaj chik, man rukꞌ ta tinta tzꞌibꞌatalik xane rukꞌ ri kꞌaslik Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Dios; man cho ta abꞌaj xuqujeꞌ man cho ta tzꞌalam tzꞌibꞌatal wi, xane pa taq ri animaꞌaj tzꞌibꞌatal wi.
4 Such confidence we have through Messiah toward God;
Are waꞌ ri kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx ri kꞌolik cho ri Dios pa Cristo.
5 not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
Man kaqabꞌij taj chi xa sibꞌalaj kujkwinik chubꞌanik ri jastaq, rumal cher ri qakwinem che ri Dios kape wi.
6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Ruach. For the letter kills, but the Ruach gives life.
Areꞌ xbꞌanow chaqe xujux patanijelabꞌ rech ri kꞌakꞌ chꞌekom tzij, man are ta ri chꞌekom tzij rech ri tzꞌibꞌatalik xane are ri rech ri Uxlabꞌal. Rumal cher ri rech ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kakamisanik, are kꞌu ri rech ri Uxlabꞌal kuya kꞌaslemal.
7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:
Ri taqanik ri kakamisanik cho abꞌaj xtzꞌibꞌax wi, sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij, ri aꞌj Israel man xekwin taj xkikaꞌyej ri upalaj ri Moisés rumal ri juluwem ri karepqꞌun chupalaj ri xa kasach uwach.
8 won't service of the Ruach be with much more glory?
Qilampeꞌ, we jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik rukꞌ we jastaq riꞌ ¿la man kꞌu kꞌo na ubꞌanik ri nimalaj chak rech ri Uxlabꞌixel cho we riꞌ?
9 For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
We nim ubꞌanik ri chak ri kukꞌam loq qꞌatoj tzij, are ta kꞌu mat sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij ri chak ri kukꞌam loq sukꞌal.
10 For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
Qas tzij wi, we kajunumaxik ri nim uqꞌij ojer rukꞌ ri nim uqꞌij kamik, are sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij ri kꞌo kamik.
11 For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
We ri xpetik rukꞌ juluwem tajin kasachik, are ta kꞌu mat sibꞌalaj nim uqꞌij ri ujuluwem ri man kasach ta uwach.
12 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
Rumal kꞌu che ri kꞌo we kuꞌlibꞌal kꞌuꞌx ri qukꞌ, qas kuꞌl qakꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri kaqabꞌano.
13 and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel would not look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
Ri uj man kaqachꞌuq ta ri qapalaj jetaq ri xubꞌan ri Moisés, xukoj jun atzꞌyaq che chꞌuqbꞌal re ri upalaj rech ri winaq aꞌj Israel man xkil taj ri utunal ri tajin kasach uwach.
14 But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away.
Pune jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik, xsach ri kichomabꞌal, rumal cher xaq jeꞌ chꞌuqtal ri kichomabꞌal pa taq we qꞌij kamik are kakisikꞌij ri ojer chꞌekom tzij, xaq xwi ri Cristo kakwinik karesaj ri chꞌuqbꞌal rech ri kichomabꞌal.
15 But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
Are kakisikꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés pa taq we qꞌij kamik riꞌ, chꞌuqtal ri kanimaꞌ rukꞌ jun atzꞌyaq.
16 But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Are kakojon jun che ri Ajawxel, kesataj ri atzꞌyaq ri chꞌuquwinaq ri ranimaꞌ.
17 Now the Lord is the Ruach and where the Ruach of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Rumal cher ri Ajawxel are Uxlabꞌal, xuqujeꞌ xapawiꞌ kꞌo wi ri Uxlabꞌixel rech ri Ajawxel, chilaꞌ kꞌo wi kiritajem.
18 But we all, with unveiled face looking as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Ruach.
Xaq jeriꞌ uj, joltalik ri qapalaj, jer kujkaꞌy pa jun kaꞌyebꞌal kaqil ri ujuluwem ri Ajawxel, tajin kujkꞌexkꞌobꞌik pa ri juluwem, rumal ri Ajawxel rumal cher Areꞌ Uxlabꞌal.
