Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?
1Ya kut sifilpa konkin kacsr sifacna ke kut kaskas ouinge? Ya kut oana mwet saya ma enenu leta in tukakin kut nu suwos, ku leta in tukakin kut suwos me?
2You yourselves are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by everyone.
2Kowos sifacna pa leta lasr ma simla insiasr, tuh mwet nukewa in riti ac kalem kac.
3It 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.
3Kut etu lah Christ sifacna pa simusla leta se inge ac kut tafwela. Simla, tia ke ink, a ke Ngun lun God moul; tia fin eot, a ke insien mwet.
4Such confidence before God is ours through Christ.
4Kut fahk ouinge mweyen ke sripen Christ, yohk lulalfongi lasr ke God.
5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim that anything comes from us, but our competence comes from God.
5Wangin kutena ma yorosr ma oru tuh kut in fahk mu kut fal in oru orekma se inge. Kutena ku ma oasr yorosr ma sin God me.
6And 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.
6El pa ase ku nu sesr in kulansupu sie wuleang sasu, su tia orekla oana ma sap simla uh, a ma ke Ngun. Tuh ma sap ma simla uh use misa, a Ngun ase moul.
7Now 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,
7Kais sie leta ke Ma Sap tuh tafleyuk ke eot, ac wolana lun God sikme ke pacl se orekla ah. Saromrom ke mutal Moses finne fahsr in efla, a srakna yohk kuiya pwanang mwet Israel koflana ngetang suilya. Wolana ke Ma Sap uh (su pwanang in oasr misa) fin ouinge,
8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?
8fuka yokiyen wolana su tuku ke orekma lun Ngun!
9For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry of righteousness!
9Oasr wolana ke oakwuk se ma pwanang mwet uh lisyukla, na ac fuka yokiyen wolana ke oakwuk se su pwanang mwet uh moliyukla!
10Indeed, what was once glorious has no glory now in comparison to the glory that surpasses it.
10Ke sripen arulana yohk kalem lun wolana se inge, kut ku in fahk mu wolana se meet ah wanginla wolana kac.
11For if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which endures!
11Fin pwaye lah oasr wolana ke ma su tuh oan ke kitin pacl, ac fuka lupan yokiyen wolana ke ma su ac oan ma pahtpat!
12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
12Ke sripen oasr finsrak se inge yorosr, kut arulana pulaik.
13We 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.
13Kut tia oana Moses, su tuh sang ipin nuknuk se in afinya mutal tuh mwet Israel in tia liye ke saromrom sac efla ac wanginla.
14But 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.
14Aok pwaye lah nunak lalos kauli; ac nwe misenge nunkalos srakna afyufi ke elos riti book lun wuleang matu. Mwe afyuf se inge ac fah tia itukla nwe ke pacl se sie mwet el kupasryang nu sin Christ.
15And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
15Finne misenge, ke pacl elos riti Ma Sap lal Moses, mwe afyuf sac srakna lisringya nunak lalos.
16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
16Tusruktu ac ku in itukla, oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl Moses: “Ma se ma afinya mutal itukla ke pacl el forang nu sin Leum.”
17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
17“Leum” se ma srumunyuk in verse se inge pa Ngun, ac yen Ngun lun Leum oasr we, oasr sukosok we.
18And 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.
18Ouinge kut nukewa tolyukyak ke wolana lun Leum, ac kalmelik nu saya ke wangin ma afinyen mutasr. Wolana se inge, su ma sin Leum, aok Ngun, pa ikilkutla nu ke lumahl sifacna, ac yokyokelik in pacl nukewa.
