2 Korintiyawa 3
1 Yabon kanmu ne kuma muka fara yi? Ko kuwa muna bukatar wasiƙun yabo ne zuwa gare ku, ko daga gare ku, kamar yadda waɗansu suke yi?
Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? We do not need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you, do we?
2 Ai, ku kanku ku ne wasiƙarmu, wadda aka rubuta a zukatanku, domin kowa yă santa, yă kuma karanta ta.
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone;
3 Kun nuna cewa ku wasiƙa ce daga Kiristi, sakamakon hidimarmu, ba wadda aka rubuta da inki ba, sai dai da Ruhun Allah mai rai. Ba kuma a kan allunan dutse ba, sai dai a kan allunan zukatan mutane.
being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
4 Amincewa kamar wannan shi ne namu ta wurin Kiristi a gaban Allah.
Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;
5 Ba mu da wani abin da za mu nuna cewa da iyawarmu ne muke aikin nan. Iyawarmu daga wurin Allah ne.
not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
6 Shi ya sa muka gwaninta a matsayinmu na masu hidimar sabon alkawari ba ta rubutacciyar Dokar ba, amma ta Ruhu; don Dokar, kisa take yi, Ruhu kuwa yana ba da rai.
who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 To, in hidimar da ta kawo mutuwa, wadda an rubuta a kan allon dutse, ta zo da ɗaukaka har Isra’ilawa suka kāsa duban fuskar Musa saboda tsananin haskenta, ko da yake mai shuɗewa ce,
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:
8 ashe, hidimar Ruhu ba za tă fi wannan ɗaukaka ba?
won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?
9 In hidimar da take jawo wa mutane hukunci tana da ɗaukaka haka, to, lalle, hidimar da take kawo adalci za tă fi ta ɗaukaka nesa!
For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
10 Gama abin da dā take da ɗaukaka, ba ta da ɗaukaka a yanzu, in aka kwatantata da mafificiyar ɗaukaka ta yanzu.
For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
11 In kuma aba mai shuɗewa ta zo da ɗaukaka, ashe, abin da yake dawwammame, lalle ne yă kasance da ɗaukakar da ta fi haka nesa!
For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
12 Da yake muna da bege irin wannan, to, muna da ƙarfin zuciya sosai ke nan.
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
13 Mu ba kamar Musa ba ne, wanda ya rufe fuskarsa da lulluɓi, don kada Isra’ilawa su ga ƙarewar ɗaukakan nan mai shuɗewa.
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.
14 Amma aka sa hankulansu suka dushe, gama har yă zuwa yau akwai lulluɓin nan a duk sa’ad da ake karatun tsohon alkawari. Ba a kawar da shi ba, sai a cikin Kiristi ne kaɗai ake kawar da shi.
But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
15 Har yă zuwa yau, duk sa’ad da ake karatun littattafan Musa, lulluɓin nan yakan rufe zukatansu.
But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Amma duk sa’ad da wani ya juyo ga Ubangiji, akan kawar da lulluɓin.
But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Ubangiji fa, shi ne Ruhu, kuma duk inda Ruhun Ubangiji yake, a nan’yanci yake.
Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 Mu da ba mu da lulluɓi a fuskokinmu duk muna nuna ɗaukakar Ubangiji, ana sauya mu mu ɗauki kamanninsa cikin ɗaukaka mai hauhawa. Ubangiji wanda yake ruhu kuwa shi ne mai zartar da haka.
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 Spirit.
