2 Corinthians 3
1 Are we beginning to praise ourselves again? We do not need letters of recommendation to you or from you, like some people, do we?
Hatsen gara berriz gure buruén gommendatzen? ala behar dugu batzuc beçala, epistola gommendagarriric çuetara, edo çuetaric gommendagarriric?
2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, known and read by all people.
Gure epistolá çuec çarete, gure bihotzetan scribatua, cein eçagutzen eta iracurtzen baita guiçon guciéz.
3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us. It was written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God. It was not written on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.
Agueri den becembatean ecen Christen epistola guçaz administratua çaretela, scribatua ez tintaz, baina Iainco viciaren Spirituaz: ez harrizco tauletan, baina bihotzeco taula haraguizcoetan.
4 And this is the confidence that we have through Christ before God.
Eta halaco confidança dugu Christez Iaincoa baithan.
5 We are not competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us. Instead, our competence is from God.
Ez sufficient garelacotz gure buruz cerbaiten pensatzeco, gueurorganic beçala: baina gure sufficientiá Iaincoaganic da.
6 It is God who made us able to be servants of a new covenant. This is a covenant not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Ceinec Testamentu berrico ministre sufficient-ere eguin baiquaitu, ez letraren, baina Spirituaren: ecen letrác hiltzen du, baina Spirituac viuificatzen du.
7 Now the service that produced death—engraved in letters on stones—came in such glory that the people of Israel could not look directly at Moses' face. This is because of the glory of his face, a glory that was fading.
Eta baldin heriotaco ministerioa letraz harrietan moldatua içan bada glorioso, hambat non Israeleco haourréc ecin behá baitzeçaqueten Moysesen beguithartera, haren beguitharteco gloria fin vkan behar çuenagatic:
8 How much more glorious will be the service that the Spirit does?
Nolatan ezta Spirituaren ministerioa gloriosoago içanen?
9 For if the service of condemnation had glory, how much more does the service of righteousness abound in glory!
Ecen baldin condemnationetaco ministerioa glorioso içan bada: iustitiataco ministerioac anhitzez iragaitenago du gloriaz.
10 For indeed, that which was once made glorious is no longer glorious in this respect, because of the glory that exceeds it.
11 For if that which was passing away had glory, how much more will what is permanent have glory!
Ecen baldin fin hartu behar çuena glorioso içan bada, vnguiz gloriosoago da dagoena.
12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
Beraz hunelaco sperançá dugunaz gueroz, minçatzeco libertate handiz vsatzen dugu.
13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face, so that the people of Israel were not able to look directly at the ending of a glory that was passing away.
Eta ez gara Moysez beçala ceinec estalquia emaiten baitzuen bere beguitharte gainean, Israeleco haourréc abolitu behar cenaren finera beha ezleçatençát.
14 But their minds were closed. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
Bada, hayén adimenduac gogortu içan dirade: ecen egungo egunerano estalqui bera dago Testamentu çaharreco lecturán kendu gabea (cein Christez kencen baita)
15 But even today, whenever Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
Baina egungo egun hunetarano Moyses iracurtzen denean, estalquia hayén bihotz gainean dago.
16 But when a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Baina Iaunagana conuertitu datequeenean kenduren da estalquia.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Eta Iauna Spiritu da: eta Iaunaren Spiritua non, libertatea han.
18 Now all of us, with unveiled faces, see the glory of the Lord. We are being transformed into the same glorious likeness from one degree of glory into another, just as from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Bada gu gucioc beguithartea aguerturic Iaunaren glorián miratzen garela, imagina berera transformatzen gara gloriataric gloriatara, Iaunaren Spirituaz beçala.
