2 Corinthians 3
1 Do you say that this is self-recommendation once more? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
Naani ti baa go guani ki wani ti yula yi kani bii? bi yi bua yaa tila n baa wani yi tin tie yaaba nani bitianba n tiendi maama.
2 Our letter of recommendation is yourselves--a letter written on our hearts and everywhere known and read.
Yinba n tie ti tila, ya tila n diani ti pala nni ke bi niba kuli cogi ki go bani.
3 For all can see that you are a letter of Christ entrusted to our care, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the ever-living God--and not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts as tablets.
Li doagidi bi niba kuli po, ke yi tie Kilisiti tili, ti tuona n diani ya tili yaa po. laa tili naa den diani leni tidianñima ka, ama leni U tienu yua n fo yaa fuoma. ke li naa go tie a tana yaa walimu po ka ama ti gbanandi yaa walimu po lan tie ti pala nni
4 Such is the confidence which we have through Christ in the presence of God;
Ti pia laa dugidi U tienu nintuali kelima Jesu Kilisiti po,
5 not that of ourselves we are competent to decide anything by our own reasonings, but our competency comes from God.
Laa bua ki yedi ke ti baa fidi ki tieni bonli ba leni ti yucela fidu ka, ama tin fidi yaali kuli ñani U tienu kani.
6 It is He also who has made us competent to serve Him in connexion with a new Covenant, which is not a written code but a Spirit; for the written code inflicts death, but the Spirit gives Life.
O go den teni ke ti fidi ki tua o ŋantaadi paano yaa naacenba, ki laa ŋua leni yaa tili n diani ka ama leni mi fuoma. kelima yaa balimaama n diani, kpendi nni mi kuuma ama mi fuoma puuni limiali.
7 If, however, the service that proclaims death--its code being engraved in writing upon stones--came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily on the face of Moses because of the brightness of his face--a vanishing brightness;
Yaa balimaama n kpendi nni mi kuuma yaama ke bi den diani a tana po, yaa den pia ti kpiagidi hali ke Isalele yaaba kan den fidi ki diidi Musa kelima yaa kpiagidi n ye o nungi po, ba ke li tie yaa kpiagidi n baa pendi,
8 will not the service of the Spirit be far more glorious?
Yin bandi cain ke Utienu Fuoma yua n soani yaa tuonli pia ti kpiagidi ki cie.
9 For if the service which pronounces doom had glory, far more glorious still is the service which tells of righteousness.
Li balimaama tuonli yaali n den kpendi nni li bujia leni u cuonu yaa den pia ti kpiagidi, li moamoansaali yaa maama tuonli pia ti kpiagidi bonŋanla ki cie.
10 For, in fact, that which was once resplendent in glory has no glory at all in this respect, that it pales before the glory which surpasses it.
Lan yaa po, yaali n den pia ti kpiagidi naa go den tie pu kuli kelima yaali n ye moala pia ti kpiagidi bonŋanla ki cie.
11 For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory.
Yaali n den tie bonpendi kaala yaa den pia ti kpiagidi yeni, yaali n ye yaa yogunu n ki pia gbenma n pia ti kpiagidi ki cie.
12 Therefore, cherishing a hope like this, we speak without reserve, and we do not imitate Moses,
Nani tin pia laa suginma buolu yeni, ti tuuni leni ti dugidi.
13 who used to throw a veil over his face to hide from the gaze of the children of Israel the passing away of what was but transitory.
Ti naa tiendi nani Musa yua n den yen wagini o nunga kaa bua Isaleleeba yaaba n diidi o nunga yaali n ba juodi ki pendi.
14 Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day during the reading of the book of the ancient Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because it is only in Christ that it is to be abolished.
Bi tua yanpiidanba kelima ba leni moala, laa kpali piikaabu baa ki piigi bi yama bi yaa cogi o ŋantaadi kpelo diani. li kan pigidi bi po li yaa tie Kilisiti nni yaa ka.
15 Yes, to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their hearts.
Hali yen dinla bi cogi Musa tili, li cabili yen baa pi bi pala.
16 But whenever the heart of the nation shall have returned to the Lord, the veil will be withdrawn.
Ama hali bi tuo ki lebidi bi pala ki daani O Diedo baa pigidi.
17 Now by "the Lord" is meant the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is enjoyed.
Na kanba lan yedi O Diedo yeni, li bundi Fuoma Yua yo. kelima nan kani ke O Diedo Fuomi ye mi faabima moko ye lan kane.
18 And all of us, with unveiled faces, reflecting like bright mirrors the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another, even as derived from the Lord the Spirit.
Tinba yaaba yaa nunmu n pigidi, tin nuanli leni ti pagidi nani ki madiidi nni yeni O Diedo kpiagidi, ti baa sua ke ti nunmu kuli tie nani wani yeni, kpiagidi ki tu kpiagidi.
