¹Aga neo' ni'uli' wae, mpope'une' wo'o-makai toi-e! Uma-kai hewa guru agama to hantongo' tetura lou. Karata-ra hi ngata-ni, mpopehuwu-ra sura pe'une' ngkai doo bona nitarima-ra. Pai' ane me'ongko' -rapa ngkai ngata-ni, merapi' wo'o-ramo sura pe'une' ngkai koi'. Kai' uma mingki' mporata sura to hewa tetu.

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

²Koi' moto-mile sura pe'une' kakamua-kaie. Koi' hewa sura to te'uki' rala nono-kai, apa' kipoka'ahi' -koi. Hiapa pomakoa' -kai, kitutura hi hawe'ea tauna kanitarima-na Kareba Lompe' to kikeni.

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

³Pai' meliu ngkai toe, ngkai po'ingku-ni ompi', monoto-mi hi hawe'ea tauna wua' pobago-kai mpokeni lolita Kristus hi koi'. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli', koi' hewa sura to na'uki' Kristus. Napa to na'uki' hi rala nono-ni toe meliu kalompe' -na ngkai sura to te'uki' hante tinta ba to te'uki' hi watu po'ukia', hewa Atura Musa to te'uki' owi hi watu po'ukia'. Apa' Kristus mpo'uki' lolita-na hi rala nono-ni hante baraka' Inoha' Alata'ala to Tuwu'.

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.

⁴Pai' daho' -kai mpotompo'wiwi woto-kai moto hewa toe-e, apa' mposarumaka Alata'ala-kai, pai' Kristus to mpopelihi-kai jadi' topobago-na.

⁴Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;

⁵Uma ki'uli' wae, kipakule' moto ngkamu bago toi. Uma ngkai pakulea' -kai moto, Alata'ala-hana to mpowai' -kai pakulea'.

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

⁶Nawai' -kai pakulea' jadi' topobago-na to mpokeni Pojanci-na to bo'u hi manusia'. Pojanci-na to bo'u toe, bela atura-atura to te'uki' -wadi. Pojanci-na to bo'u toe, kanawai' -ta katuwua' to bo'u ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli'. Apa' ane doko' jadi' monoa' -ta hi poncilo Alata'ala hi kampotuku' -ta atura to te'uki' -wadi, bate mporata-ta kamatea. Tapi' ane mpotuku' -ta Alata'ala ngkai baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli', mporata-ta katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.

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.

⁷Owi Pue' Ala mpo'uki' Atura-na hi watu po'ukia', pai' nawai' -ki nabi Musa. Nto'u toe, to Yahudi uma radadahi mponaa lio-na Musa, apa' lio-na mehini hante kabaraka' -na Alata'ala. Tapi' pehini to hi lio-na Musa toe hampai' -wadi, pai' mo'uncu moto duu' -na ora. Atura Pue' to te'uki' hi watu toe mpokeni kamatea hi manusia', apa' uma takulei' mpotuku'. Aga nau' wae, bohe moto wo'o kabaraka' -na Alata'ala to rahilo to Yahudi hi lio-na Musa nto'u toe. Jadi', ane hewa toe kabaraka' -na atura to mpokeni kamatea,

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:

⁸peliu-liu-nami kabaraka' -na Pojanci Alata'ala to bo'u, to mpowai' -ta Inoha' Tomoroli' hi rala nono-ta.

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

⁹To Yahudi owi jadi' masala' hi poncilo Alata'ala apa' ratiboki Atura-na. Aga nau' wae, uma mowo kabaraka' -na Alata'ala to rahilo to Yahudi nto'u toe. Jadi', hangkedi' kabaraka' -na Pojanci Alata'ala to bo'u, apa' Pojanci-na toe mpomonoa' -ta hi poncilo-na.

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

¹⁰Bohe moto kabaraka' -na Pojanci to ri'ulu. Tapi' ane tapopohibalia baraka' toe hante baraka' Pojanci to bo'u, ma'ala ta'uli': to ri'ulu uma-pi ria kabaraka' -na.

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

¹¹Apa' ane mobaraka' Pojanci to ri'ulu to hampai' -wadi, meliu-liu kabaraka' -na Pojanci to bo'u to tida duu' kahae-hae-na.

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

¹²Jadi', apa' bohe poncarumakaa-kai hi Pojanci Alata'ala to bo'u-e, daho' -kai mpopalele Kareba Lompe' hante kanoto-noto-na.

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

¹³Uma ria to kiwunii'. Uma-kai hewa nabi Musa owi, to mpowuni lio-na hante karamua-na. Nakaramuai lio-na bona to Yahudi uma mpohiloi pehini-na to mo'uncu moto duu' -na ora.

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.

¹⁴Pai' to Yahudi toera-rawo, tebohotii wo'o-rawo pekiri-ra, uma rapaha patuju-na Atura Pue'. Duu' rata tempo toi, ane mpobasa-ra sura Pojanci to mahae, ma'ala ta'uli': ria oa' -pidi karamua to mpoputu' pekiri-ra. Sampale ane mepangala' -ra hi Kristus, pai' monoto-di nono-ra.

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.

¹⁵Duu' rata tempo toi, ane mpobasa-ra sura to na'uki' nabi Musa, ma'ala ta'uli' teputu' oa' -pidi nono-ra hante karamua.

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

¹⁶Aga ane mobali' -mi nono-ra pai' -ra mepangala' -mi hi Pue', karamua toe telali moto-mi ngkai nono-ra.

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

¹⁷Apa' Pue', Hi'a-mi Inoha' Tomoroli'. Pai' ane Inoha' Pue' mo'oha' hi rala nono-ta, tebahaka-tamo ngkai hawe'ea to mpogaa' -ta ngkai Pue'.

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

¹⁸Jadi', hawe'ea-ta to mepangala' hi Pue', uma-pi ria karamua to mpoputu' nono-ta. Ta'inca kabaraka' -na Pue', pai' baraka' -na toe mpobalii' ncuu-mi nono-ta. Kahaa-haea, katedoo-donihia baraka' Pue' hi rala tuwu' -ta duu' -na hibalia hante Hi'a-tamo. Inoha' Pue' moto-mi to mpobago bago toe hi rala nono-ta.

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.
