1Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?
1Kaimih oep hamla koep ka tong uh a? Nangmih taengkah neh nangmih lamkah capat te oepsa bet banglam khaw ka kuek uh pawt maco?
2You are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is known and read by all men:
2Kaimih kah capat tah nangmih ni. Kaimih kah thinko ah a tarhit coeng. Te dongah hlang boeih loh a ming tih a tae coeng.
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.
3Kaimih kah tho ka thueng thil, Khrih kah capat la na om uh te phoe coeng. Cahang nen pawt tih aka hing Pathen Mueihla nena tarhit coeng. Lungto lungphaih dongah pawt tih pumsa thinko lungphaih dongah ni a tarhit coeng.
4And such confidence we have, through Christ, towards God.
4Te dongah tebang pangtungnah te Khrih lamloh Pathen taengah ng'khueh uh coeng.
5Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
5Mamih lamkah vanbangla pakhat khaw poek hamla mamih lamloh a cung a boeng la ng'om uh moenih. Tedae mamih kah tatthainah tah Pathen taeng lamkah ni.
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 loh paipi thai kaha tueihyoeih la mamih n'saii. Tedae cabu nen pawt tih mueihla nen ni n'saii. Cabu loh a ngawn dae mueihla loh a hing sak.
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:
7Lungto dongah catham la a tarhit dueknah kah bibi long pataeng thangpomnah neh om. Te dongah a maelhmai kah thangpomnah a hma dongah Moses kah maelhmai te Israel ca rhoek loh hmaitang thai pawh.
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?
8Mueihla kah bibi tah thangpomnah neh muep om ngai mahpawt nim.
9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
9Laipupnah kah bibi te thangpomnah neh a om atah duengnah kah bibi tah thangpomnah muep coih ngai ta.
10For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
10Tahae kah thangpomnah a baetawt kongah cungvang tah a thangpom tangtae long khaw thangpom voel pawh.
11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.
11Aka paci long pataeng thangpomnah neh a om atah aka kuei long tah thangpomnah dongah muep om ngai ni ta.
12Having therefore such hope, we use much confidence:
12Te ngaiuepnah a om dongah ni sayalh la phet phet n'rhoidoeng uh.
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.
13Te dongah a maelhmai lumuekhni aka khueh thil Moses bangla a om moenih. Te daengah ni Israel ca rhoek loh a hmaitang vetih tiha tloihsoi la a paci uh pawt eh.
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).
14Tedae amih kah poeknah loh ning uh. Amah tihnin khohnin duela paipi rhuem kah taenah dongah lumuekhni neh om pueng tih aa lim pawt te Khrih ah a khoe coeng.
15But even until this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.
15Tedae tihnin duela Moses cabua tae uh vaengah tah lumuekhni loh amih thinko te a yalh thil pueng.
16But when they shall be converted to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
16Tedae Boeipa taengah a mael vaengah tah lumuekhni te a khoe pah.
17Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
17Boeipa tah mueihla la om coeng. Te dongah Boeipa mueihla a om nah ah poenghalnah om.
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.
18Mamih boeih loh Boeipa kah thangpomnah maelhmai neh n'lim uh tih amah mueimae te kap coeng. Te dongah Boeipa mueihla lamkah van bangla thangpomnah lamkah thangpomnah la n'thohai uh coeng.
