1 A re we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?

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

2 Y e are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;

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

3 b eing made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables that are hearts of flesh.

idinkoo 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.

4 A nd such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:

Hubaalkan oo kale ayaannu Masiix ku leennahay xaggii Ilaah;

5 n ot that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

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

6 w ho also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

kan 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.

7 B ut if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away:

Laakiin 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,

8 h ow shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?

sidaanay u ahayn adeegidda ruuxa inay la ahaan doonto ammaan?

9 F or if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

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

10 F or verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth.

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

11 F or if that which passeth away was with glory, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

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

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

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

13 a nd are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:

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

14 b ut their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ.

Laakiin 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.

15 B ut unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart.

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

16 B ut whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

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

17 N ow the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Rabbigu waa Ruuxa, oo meeshii Ruuxa Rabbigu joogana, waxaa jira xorriyad.

18 B ut 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.

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.
