¹Koumau kigenhoih ka pan nawn dekta ua hia? Ahihkeileh, na kiang ua piak ding hiam aw, na kiang ua kipan hiam genhoihna lai, mi khenkhat adia a kiphamoh bangin, kou din a kiphamoh sam dia hia?

¹Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

²Noute ka lai uh, na lungtang ua gelh, mi tengteng theih leh sim na hi uhi;

²You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

³Kris lai, kou hon gelh sak laituia gelh hilou, Pathian hing Kha gelh hijaw, suangpeka gelh hilou, sa lungtang peka gelh hijaw na hi uh chih chiantakin na taklangta ngalua.

³being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

⁴Huan, Pathian lamah huchibang muanna Kris vangin ka nei uhi;

⁴Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;

⁵Bangpeuh koumau akipana pawta sim dingin koumau kiain ka chin uh ka chi kei ua; ka chin theihna uh tuh Pathian kianga kipan ahi jaw.

⁵not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

⁶Amahmahin thukhun thak nasemte hi dingin honchingsaka; a lai thu gelh lel nasemte ding hilouin, a Kha nasemte din ahi jaw hi; lai thu gelh lelin jaw ahihlum nak ngala, Khain bel ahihhing nak ahi.

⁶who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

⁷Mosi mel a vak jiakin Israel taten a mel a en gige theikei ua, huai thupina a mang hiaihiai a; sihna nasepna suanga laimal gelh bawn, huchi tela thupi-a a tun leh,

⁷But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

⁸Kha nasepna pen bangchi pheta thupiin a tung de aw?

⁸won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?

⁹Siamlouh tansakna nasepna bawn a thupi leh, diktatna nasepna thupi lamah a thupi zo mahmah ding ahi.

⁹For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

¹⁰Hihthupia omsain hiaiah jaw thupina himhim a neita ngal keia, thupina thupijawin a khuh tak jiakin.

¹⁰For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

¹¹Mangta hiaihiai bawn thupia a tun leh, om gige ding tuh thupia tuamin om zo mahmah ding ahi.

¹¹For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

¹²Huan, huchi bang lametna ka neih jiakun hangtaka pan ngamna ka nei uhi,

¹²Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

¹³Mosi hihbangin ka hih keiua, aman jaw thupina mangta hiaihiai man tawpna Israel taten a et gige louhna ding un a mai maikhuhnain a khuha;

¹³and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

¹⁴A lungsim ubel hihkhauhin a oma; tuni tanphain thukhun lui a sim un khuhna ngeina tuh hawk louhin a om gige ngala, huai khuhna tuh Kris ah hihmangin a omta hi.

¹⁴But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

¹⁵Himahleh, tuni tanphain Mosi Laibu a sim peuh chiang un a lungtang uah khuhna a om gige hi.

¹⁵But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

¹⁶Himahleh, a lungtang uh Toupa lama a ngat peuh chiangun khuhna tuh lakmang a hita ding hi.

¹⁶But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

¹⁷Huan, Toupa tuh huai kha ahia, Toupa kha omna peuh ah noplenna a om jel hi.Huchiin, eite jaw i vek un mai khuh louin limlang banga Toupa thupina tangsawnsak jelin, amah kibatpih ngeingeia om dingin hihlamdanin i om jel; hiai tuh Toupa akipan i muh ahi; Amah tuh Kha ahi

¹⁷Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

¹⁸Huchiin, eite jaw i vek un mai khuh louin limlang banga Toupa thupina tangsawnsak jelin, amah kibatpih ngeingeia om dingin hihlamdanin i om jel; hiai tuh Toupa akipan i muh ahi; Amah tuh Kha ahi

¹⁸But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
