1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
1Aimacae hoi aimacae maw amkoeh amtong o? To tih ai boeh loe kalah thoemto kaminawk baktiah, nangcae han ang paek o ih panoek paehaih ca maw, to tih ai boeh loe nangcae mah na paek o ih panoek paehaih ca to aicae han angaih maw?
2You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:
2Nangcae loe kaicae palung thungah tarik ih ca, kami boih mah panoek moe, kroek ih capat ah na oh o:
3Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart.
3nangcae loe catui hoi tarik ih ca na ai, kahing Sithaw ih Muithla hoiah tarik ih ca ah na oh o; thlung kangphaek pongah tarik ih ca na ai, ngan kaom palung thungah tarik ih ca, tok a sak pae o ih, Kri capat ah ni na oh o, tito amtueng boeh.
4And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
4Aicae loe Kri rang hoiah Sithaw hmaa ah to baktih kacak tanghaih to a tawnh o.
5Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
5Aicae loe aimacae angoephaih hoiah aimah koehah tih hmuen doeh a sah o thai ai, toe aicae akoephaih loe Sithaw ah ni oh;
6Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.
6Anih mah ni lokmaih kangtha toksahkung ah oh thaihaih to aicae hanah paek; to toksakhaih loe ca tangoengh ah toksakhaih ih na ai ah, Muithla ah toksakhaih ih ni: ca tangoengh mah loe duekhaih to ohsak, toe Muithla mah loe hinghaih to paek.
7Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void:
7Thlung nuiah soi moe, tarik ih ca mah loe duekhaih to ohsak, toe anghmaa thaih koiah oh to mah, Israel caanawk mah Mosi ih mikhmai khet thaih han ai khoek to ah anih ih mikhmai to aangsak nahaeloe,
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
8Muithla toksakhaih mah cae loe kawkruk maw aicae han lensawkhaih to omsak aep tih?
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
9Lokcaekhaih kaomsak toksakhaih mah mataeng doeh lensawkhaih to omsak nahaeloe, toenghaih kaomsak toksakhaih mah cae loe kawkruk maw lensawkhaih to om sak aep tih?
10For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
10Vaihi lensawkhaih loe paroeai len pongah, canghni ih lensawkhaih loe lensawkhaih ah om ai boeh.
11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.
11Anghmaa ving thaih hmuen mataeng doeh lensawkhaih ah om nahaeloe, kacak poe hmuen cae loe kawkruk maw lensawkhaih ah om aep tih.
12Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence:
12Aicae loe to baktih oephaih a tawnh o pongah, angphathaih om ai ah lok a thuih o.
13And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.
13Israel caanawk mah anghmaa ving thaih aanghaih to boeng khoek to khet o thaih han ai ah, Mosi mah angmah ih mikhmai to kahni hoiah khuk khoep baktih toengah, aicae loe kahni hoiah khuk ai:
14But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void).
14toe nihcae poekhaih palungthin loe mikmaeng o: vaihi khoek to Lokpaek Kangquem kroek o naah kahni to takhoe o ving ai, mikhmai to a khuk o vop; mikhmai khukhaih kahni loe Kri rang hoiah takhoe ving boeh.
15But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
15Vaihni ni khoek to, Mosi ih Cabu kroek naah, nihcae ih palung to kahni mah khuk pae khoep vop.
16But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
16Toe Angraeng khaeah amlaem kami loe, mikhmai khukhaih kahni to takhoe pae ving tih.
17Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
17Angraeng loe Muithla ah oh: Angraeng ih Muithla ohhaih ahmuen ah, loihhaih to oh.
18But we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
18Mikhmai khukhaih om ai, aicae boih khaeah loe, hmaidan thungah amtueng baktih toengah, Angraeng lensawkhaih to amtueng, aicae loe Angraeng ih Muithla rang hoiah, lensawkhaih bangah angmah hoi kanghmong ah amkhraihaih hoiah a qoeng o tahang.
