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

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

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

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

3 i dinkoo 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.

being 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.

4 H ubaalkan oo kale ayaannu Masiix ku leennahay xaggii Ilaah;

Such confidence we have through Christ toward God;

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

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

6 k an 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.

who 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.

7 L aakiin 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,

But 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:

8 s idaanay u ahayn adeegidda ruuxa inay la ahaan doonto ammaan?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and 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.

14 L aakiin 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.

But 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.

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

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

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

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

17 R abbigu waa Ruuxa, oo meeshii Ruuxa Rabbigu joogana, waxaa jira xorriyad.

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

18 L aakiin 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.

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