۲ کَرِنْتھِنَح 3
| وَیَں کِمْ آتْمَپْرَشَںسَنَں پُنَرارَبھامَہے؟ یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ یُشْمَتّو وا پَریشاں کیشانْچِدْ اِواسْماکَمَپِ کِں پْرَشَںساپَتْریشُ پْرَیوجَنَمْ آسْتے؟ | 1 |
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
| یُویَمیواسْماکَں پْرَشَںساپَتْرَں تَچّاسْماکَمْ اَنْتَحکَرَنیشُ لِکھِتَں سَرْوَّمانَوَیشْچَ جْنییَں پَٹھَنِییَنْچَ۔ | 2 |
You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
| یَتو سْمابھِح سیوِتَں کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ پَتْرَں یُویَپیوَ، تَچَّ نَ مَسْیا کِنْتْوَمَرَسْییشْوَرَسْیاتْمَنا لِکھِتَں پاشانَپَتْریشُ تَنَّہِ کِنْتُ کْرَوْیَمَییشُ ہرِتْپَتْریشُ لِکھِتَمِتِ سُسْپَشْٹَں۔ | 3 |
It is clear that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
| کھْرِیشْٹینیشْوَرَں پْرَتْیَسْماکَمْ اِیدرِشو درِڈھَوِشْواسو وِدْیَتے؛ | 4 |
Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.
| وَیَں نِجَگُنینَ کِمَپِ کَلْپَیِتُں سَمَرْتھا اِتِ نَہِ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرادَسْماکَں سامَرْتھْیَں جایَتے۔ | 5 |
Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.
| تینَ وَیَں نُوتَنَنِیَمَسْیارْتھَتو کْشَرَسَںسْتھانَسْیَ تَنَّہِ کِنْتْواتْمَنَ ایوَ سیوَنَسامَرْتھْیَں پْراپْتاح۔ اَکْشَرَسَںسْتھانَں مرِتْیُجَنَکَں کِنْتْواتْما جِیوَنَدایَکَح۔ | 6 |
And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
| اَکْشَرَے رْوِلِکھِتَپاشانَرُوپِنِی یا مرِتْیوح سیوا سا یَدِیدرِکْ تیجَسْوِنِی جاتا یَتَّسْیاچِرَسْتھایِنَسْتیجَسَح کارَناتْ مُوسَسو مُکھَمْ اِسْراییلِییَلوکَیح سَںدْرَشْٹُں ناشَکْیَتَ، | 7 |
Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory,
| تَرْہْیاتْمَنَح سیوا کِں تَتوپِ بَہُتیجَسْوِنِی نَ بھَویتْ؟ | 8 |
will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
| دَنْڈَجَنِکا سیوا یَدِ تیجویُکْتا بھَویتْ تَرْہِ پُنْیَجَنِکا سیوا تَتودھِکَں بَہُتیجویُکْتا بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 9 |
For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!
| اُبھَیوسْتُلَنایاں کرِتایامْ ایکَسْیاسْتیجو دْوِتِییایاح پْرَکھَرَتَرینَ تیجَسا ہِینَتیجو بھَوَتِ۔ | 10 |
Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.
| یَسْمادْ یَتْ لوپَنِییَں تَدْ یَدِ تیجویُکْتَں بھَویتْ تَرْہِ یَتْ چِرَسْتھایِ تَدْ بَہُتَرَتیجویُکْتَمیوَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 11 |
For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!
| اِیدرِشِیں پْرَتْیاشاں لَبْدھْوا وَیَں مَہَتِیں پْرَگَلْبھَتاں پْرَکاشَیامَح۔ | 12 |
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
| اِسْراییلِییَلوکا یَتْ تَسْیَ لوپَنِییَسْیَ تیجَسَح شیشَں نَ وِلوکَیییُسْتَدَرْتھَں مُوسا یادرِگْ آوَرَنینَ سْوَمُکھَمْ آچّھادَیَتْ وَیَں تادرِکْ نَ کُرْمَّح۔ | 13 |
We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was fading away.
| تیشاں مَناںسِ کَٹھِنِیبھُوتانِ یَتَسْتیشاں پَٹھَنَسَمَیے سَ پُراتَنو نِیَمَسْتیناوَرَنینادْیاپِ پْرَچّھَنَّسْتِشْٹھَتِ۔ | 14 |
But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed.
| تَچَّ نَ دُورِیبھَوَتِ یَتَح کھْرِیشْٹینَیوَ تَتْ لُپْیَتے۔ مُوسَسَح شاسْتْرَسْیَ پاٹھَسَمَیےدْیاپِ تیشاں مَناںسِ تیناوَرَنینَ پْرَچّھادْیَنْتے۔ | 15 |
And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
| کِنْتُ پْرَبھُں پْرَتِ مَنَسِ پَراورِتّے تَدْ آوَرَنَں دُورِیکارِشْیَتے۔ | 16 |
But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
| یَح پْرَبھُح سَ ایوَ سَ آتْما یَتْرَ چَ پْرَبھوراتْما تَتْرَیوَ مُکْتِح۔ | 17 |
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
| وَیَنْچَ سَرْوّےناچّھادِتیناسْیینَ پْرَبھوسْتیجَسَح پْرَتِبِمْبَں گرِہْلَنْتَ آتْمَسْوَرُوپینَ پْرَبھُنا رُوپانْتَرِیکرِتا وَرْدّھَمانَتیجویُکْتاں تامیوَ پْرَتِمُورْتِّں پْراپْنُمَح۔ | 18 |
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
