¹So znachil kado divano? Ke pale ame nachinaisavas te luvudisavas? Vai trobulsardino ame, sar uni, te sikavas tumenge lila so te keren, vai ame te mangas tumendar lela?

¹Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as some, letters of recommendation unto you, or from you?

²Tuma san amaro lil kai si ramome ande amaro ilo, kai sa e lumia sai zhanel ai diinel.

²our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known and read by all men,

³Te iazno si ke tume san iek lil ramome katar O Kristo ai tradino amendar. Kodo lil nai ramome chernilasa, numa le Duxosa le Devlesko o zhuvindo. Nai ramome pel skafidia baxrenge, numa ande ile le manushenge.

³manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,

⁴Ame sai mothas chachimasa kadia diela, ke pala amaro pachamos kai si ame ando Del katar O Kristo.

⁴and such trust we have through the Christ toward God,

⁵Ame nashtisaras te mothas ke sai keras kasaviatar buchi anda amende, numa so keras katar O Del avel.

⁵not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,

⁶Ke wo dia ame te avas slugi kadale nevia viastako; nai iek zakono kai si ramome, numa katar O Swunto Duxo: o zakono o ramome mudarel, numa O Swunto Duxo del o traio.

⁶who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.

⁷O zakono sas ramome, vorba pe vorbate pel skafidia le baxrenge ai andai martia, ai o barimos le Devlesko strefial, antunchi o mui le Mosesosko strefialas kadia de zurales kai le Zhiduvuria nashtinas te dikhen pe leste, marka ke kodo strefaimos sas te zhaltar.

⁷and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face — which was being made useless,

⁸Sode de baro trobul te avel o luvudimos la buchako kai kerel O Swunto Duxo!

⁸how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?

⁹E buchi kai doshardia le manushen sas luvudime, sode mai but luvudime e buchi kai si te kerel andel manush vorta angla Del!

⁹for if the ministration of the condemnation [is] glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory;

¹⁰Sai vi mothas, ke o luvudimos kai strefial mai anglal, nai kanchi angla luvudimos kai si akana, kai si but mai baro.

¹⁰for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious — in this respect, because of the superior glory;

¹¹So sas kai ankerdia xantsi vriama sas luvudime, sode mai but luvudime so si kai shoxar chi getolpe!

¹¹for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory, much more that which is remaining [is] in glory.

¹²Te si ame kodo pachamos, sai das duma bi darako.

¹²Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech,

¹³Ame chi sam sar o Moses, kai vusharavelas pesko mui seliasa, saxke te na dikhen le Zhiduvuria e vediara kai nakhelas sigo.

¹³and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless,

¹⁴Numa lenge goji nashti ma haliarel, ai zhi adies lenge goji vusharadila sa kodola seliasa kana jinen o zakono le Mosesosko. Kodia selia zhaltar ferdi kana o manush si astardo le Kristosa.

¹⁴but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn — which in Christ is being made useless —

¹⁵Inker adies, swako data kai jinen o zakono le Mosesosko, e selia vusharavel lenge goji.

¹⁵but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their heart doth lie,

¹⁶Numa sar mothol E Vorba le Devleski, kana boldelpe iek manush karing O Del, e selia zhaltar.

¹⁶and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away.

¹⁷O Del si O Swunto Duxo, ai kotse kai si O Swunto Duxo le Devlesko, kotse si liberte.

¹⁷And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty;

¹⁸Ame savorhe, bi la seliako pe amaro mui strefialas o barimos le Devlesko, ai sam parhude te avas sar O Del, ai nakhas andak barimos ande iek mai baro barimos. Kadia si e buchi kai kerel O Swunto Duxo le Devlesko.

¹⁸and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
