2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning again to recommend ourselves? Or do we need, like some others, letters of recommendation to you, or letters of recommendation from you?
E HOOMAKA hou anei makou e hoomaikai aku ia makou iho? a e hemahema anei makou e like me kekahi poe i na palapala hoike ia oukou, a i na palapala hoike mai o oukou mai?
2 Ye are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
O oukou no ka makou palapala i kakauia maloko o ko makou naau, i ikeia a i heluheluia e na kanaka a pau.
3 since ye are manifestly shown to be a letter of Christ by means of our service, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart.
No ka mea, ua hoike akaka ia, o oukou no ka Kristo palapala a makou i hana'i, i kakauia aole me ka inika, aka, me ka Uhane o ke Akua ola; aole maloko o na papa pohaku aka, maloko o na papa io o ka naau.
4 And such confidence as this have we through Christ toward God;
Pela ko makou manao maopopo i ke Akua ma o Kristo la:
5 not that we are able of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves; but our ability is from God;
Aole hoi e hiki ia makou kekahi mea ma ko makou noonoo ana, o makou wale; aka, o ke Akua no ko makou mea e hiki ai.
6 who also gave us ability to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
Oia ka i hoomakaukau ia makou i kahuna no ke kauoha hou, aole ma ke kanawai, aka, ma ka Uhane: no ka mea, ke pepehi mai nei ke kanawai, a ke hoola mai nei ka Uhane.
7 But if the ministration of death, engraven in letters on stones, was so glorious, that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses by reason of the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away,
Ina paha ua nani ka oihana no ka make i kakauia maloko o na pohaku me na huaolelo, i hiki ole i na mamo a Iseraela ke haka pono aku i ka maka o Mose, no ke alohi o kona maka, ka mea e nalowale ana;
8 shall not the ministration of the Spirit be much more glorious?
Aole anei e oi nui aku ka nani o ka oihana o ka Uhane?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation had glory, much greater is the glory of the ministration of righteousness.
No ka mea, ina paha he nani ko ka oihana hoohewa, he oiaio no, ua pakela aku ka nani o ka oihana hoapono.
10 For even that which was made glorious hath ceased to be glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory by which it is exceeded.
No keia mea, aohe nani o kela mea i hoouaniia pela, no keia pakela nani.
11 For if that which was to be done away was glorious, much more glorious is that which endureth.
Ina he nani ko kela mea i hoonalowaleia; oiaio, he nani ko ka mea e mau loa aku ana.
12 Having therefore such hope, we use great plainness of speech;
No ia hoi, no ka loaa ana mai ia makou keia manaolana, he olelo wiwo ole ka makou:
13 and do not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the end of that which was to be done away.
Aole like me Mose i uhi iho ai i kona maka i ka pale, i hiki ole i na mamo a Iseraela ke nana pono i ka hope o ua mea la e nalowale ana:
14 But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled to them that it is done away in Christ;
Aka, ua hoopouliia ko lakou naau; no ka mea, a hiki i neia manawa, i ka heluhelu ana i ke kauoha kahiko, ua koe no ka pale, aole i weheia; ua pau no hoi ia mea ia Kristo.
15 but even till this day, when Moses is read, there lieth a veil upon their heart;
A i neia manawa, i ka heluhelu ana i ka Mose, e kau ana no ua pale la maluna o ko lakou naau.
16 but whenever it turneth to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Aia huli mai ia i ka Haku, alaila e laweia aku no ua pale la.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
A o ka Haku, oia ka Uhane: a ma kahi e noho ai ka Uhane o ka Haku, ua noa ia wahi.
18 But we all with unveiled face beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.
Aka, me ka maka i uhi ole ia, ke ike aku nei makou a pau i ka nani o ka Haku, e like me ke aka ma ke aniani, a ua hoano hou ia makou ma ka like ana o ua aka la, ma ka nani e mahuahua ana, e ko ka Haku nona ka Uhane.
