¹Miyaannu bilaabaynaa inaannu haddana is-ammaanno? Ama miyaannu u baahan nahay warqado ammaan ah in laydiin diro ama in laydiinka soo diro sida qaar kale?

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

²Idinku waxaad tihiin warqaddayada ee qalbigayaga ku qoran, tan ay dadka oo dhammu garanayaan oo akhriyaan,

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

³idinkoo muuqanaya inaad tihiin warqadda Masiixa ee ah taannu ka adeegnay, ee aan khad lagu qorin, laakiinse lagu qoray Ruuxa Ilaaha nool, oo aan lagu qorin looxyo dhagax ah dushood laakiin lagu qoray looxyo qalbiyo jiidh ah dushood.

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.

⁴Hubaalkan oo kale ayaannu Masiix ku leennahay xaggii Ilaah;

⁴Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;

⁵ma aha inaannu isku filan nahay inaannu wax ka tashanno xagga qudhayada, laakiin iskufillaantayadu waa xagga Ilaah,

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

⁶kan haddana naga dhigay kuwa ku filan inaannu ka adeegno axdiga cusub, ma aha xagga qorniinka, laakiin xagga ruuxa, waayo, qorniinku wax buu dilaa, laakiin ruuxu wax buu nooleeyaa.

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.

⁷Laakiin adeegidda dhimashada keentaa ee qorniin lagu xardhay dhagaxyo, hadday ammaan la ahaatay, si aan reer binu Israa'iil u karin inay Muuse wejigiisa aad u eegaan ammaanta wejigiisa aawadeed ee ah tan idlaanaysa,

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:

⁸sidaanay u ahayn adeegidda ruuxa inay la ahaan doonto ammaan?

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

⁹Waayo, hadday adeegidda xukunka keentaa ammaan ahayd, adeegidda xaqnimada keentaa aad bay uga ammaan badan tahay.

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

¹⁰Waayo, wixii ammaan lahaan jiray, ammaan kama lahayn wixii kan ku saabsan, ammaanta ka sarraysa aawadeed.

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

¹¹Waayo, haddii waxa idlaanayaa ammaan lahaan jiray, intee ka badan baa waxa hadhaa ammaan leeyahay.

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

¹²Haddaba rajo caynkaas ah oo aannu leennahay aawadeed bayaan ayaannu u hadalnaa.

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

¹³Ma nihin sida Muuse, kan indho shareertay inaan reer binu Israa'iil aad u eegin dhammaadka tan idlaanaysay.

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.

¹⁴Laakiin fikirradoodii way adkaadeen. Waayo, tan iyo maalintaas markii axdiga hore la akhriyo, indho shareerkaas ayaa hadha isagoo aan laga saarin, kan xagga Masiix ka idlaaday.

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.

¹⁵Laakiin tan iyo maalintaas mar alla markii Muuse wax laga akhriyo dabool ayaa qalbigooda saaran.

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

¹⁶Laakiin mar alla markii loo soo leexdo Rabbiga daboolka waa laga qaadaa.

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

¹⁷Rabbigu waa Ruuxa, oo meeshii Ruuxa Rabbigu joogana, waxaa jira xorriyad.Laakiin dhammaanteen innagoo aan indho shareernayn, ammaanta Rabbiga ayaynu arkaynaa sidii oo muraayad lagu arko, oo isu-ekaanta ayaa laynoo roogayaa, ammaan ilaa ammaan, sida tan xagga Rabbiga Ruuxa ah ka timaada.

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

¹⁸Laakiin dhammaanteen innagoo aan indho shareernayn, ammaanta Rabbiga ayaynu arkaynaa sidii oo muraayad lagu arko, oo isu-ekaanta ayaa laynoo roogayaa, ammaan ilaa ammaan, sida tan xagga Rabbiga Ruuxa ah ka timaada.

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.
