2 Corinto 3
1 Rugrugianmi kadi manen a padayawan dagiti bagbagimi? Saanmi a kasapulan dagiti surat a mangirekomendar kadakami kadakayo wenno manipud kadakayo, a kas kadagiti dadduma a tattao, kasapulanmi kadi?
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you?
2 Dakayo a mismo ti surat a mangirekomendar kadakami, a naisurat kadagiti puspusomi, a naammoan ken nabasa dagiti amin a tattao.
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Ken ipakpakitayo a dakayo ket surat manipud kenni Cristo, nga inyawatmi. Naisurat daytoy saan a babaen iti tinta ngem babaen iti Espiritu ti sibibiag a Dios. Saan a naisurat daytoy kadagiti tapi ti bato, ngem kadagiti tapi dagiti puspuso dagiti tattao.
[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 Ket daytoy ti kinatalged nga adda kadakami iti Dios babaen kenni Cristo.
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Saankami a natalged kadagiti bagbagimi a mangaklon a naggapu kadakami ti aniaman a banag. Ngem ketdi, ti kabaelanmi ket naggapu iti Dios.
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
6 Ta ti Dios ti nangted kadakami iti kabaelan nga agbalin nga adipen iti baro a tulag. Daytoy a tulag ket saan a naggapu iti surat ngem iti Espiritu. Ta ti surat ket pumatay, ngem ti Espiritu ket mangmangted iti biag.
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 Ita, ti aramid iti patay a naikitikit kadagiti letra kadagiti bato ket immay iti kasta unay a kinadayag a dagiti tattao ti Israel a saanda nabaelan ti kumita ti rupa ni Moises. Gapu daytoy iti dayag iti rupana, maysa a dayag nga agpukpukaw.
But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:
8 Saan kadi nga ad-adda pay a nadaydayag ti trabaho iti Espiritu?
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 Ta no adda dayag ti trabaho ti pannakaukom, ad-adda pay ti kinadayag ti trabaho iti kinalinteg!
For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 Ta pudno unay, a ti naminsan a napagbalin a nadayag ket saanen a nadayag gapu iti dayag a nangartap iti daytoy.
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 Ta no addaan iti dayag ti mapukpukawen, ad-adda pay ti kinadayag ti agtalinaed!
For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious.
12 Agsipud ta addaankami iti kasta a kinatalged, naturedkami unay.
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13 Saankami a kas kenni Moises a nangikabil iti dalungdong iti rupana tapno saan a makita dagiti tattao iti Israel ti pagpatinggaan ti mapukpukawen a dayag.
And not as Moses, [which] put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 Ngem nakullaapan dagiti panpanunotda. Uray agingga kadagitoy nga aldaw ti isu met laeng a dalungdong ket agtaltalinaed iti panagbasa iti daan a tulag. Saan a nalukatan daytoy, gapu ta babaen laeng kenni Cristo a naaramid daytoy.
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [vail] is done away in Christ.
15 Ngem uray ita, tunggal basaenda dagiti insurat ni Moises, adda dalungdong kadagiti puspusoda.
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 Ngem no sumango ti maysa tao iti Apo, maingato a maiyadayo ti dalungdongna.
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17 Ita, ti Dios ket ti Espiritu. Sadinoman nga ayan ti Espiritu ti Dios, adda wayawaya.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
18 Ita, amintayo nga awan ti abbong ti rupana, ket makitatayo ti dayag ti Apo. Mabalbaliwantayo iti isu met laeng a kinadayag manipud iti maysa a tukad ti kinadayag nga agturong iti sabali pay a kinadayag, kas naggapu iti Apo, nga isu ti Espiritu.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
