Adeegayaasha Axdiga Cusub

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? Idinku waxaad tihiin warqaddayada ee qalbigayaga ku qoran, tan ay dadka oo dhammu garanayaan oo akhriyaan, 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. Hubaalkan oo kale ayaannu Masiix ku leennahay xaggii Ilaah; ma aha inaannu isku filan nahay inaannu wax ka tashanno xagga qudhayada, laakiin iskufillaantayadu waa xagga Ilaah, 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. 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, sidaanay u ahayn adeegidda ruuxa inay la ahaan doonto ammaan? Waayo, hadday adeegidda xukunka keentaa ammaan ahayd, adeegidda xaqnimada keentaa aad bay uga ammaan badan tahay. 10 Waayo, wixii ammaan lahaan jiray, ammaan kama lahayn wixii kan ku saabsan, ammaanta ka sarraysa aawadeed. 11 Waayo, haddii waxa idlaanayaa ammaan lahaan jiray, intee ka badan baa waxa hadhaa ammaan leeyahay.

12 Haddaba rajo caynkaas ah oo aannu leennahay aawadeed bayaan ayaannu u hadalnaa. 13 Ma nihin sida Muuse, kan indho shareertay inaan reer binu Israa'iil aad u eegin dhammaadka tan idlaanaysay. 14 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 Laakiin tan iyo maalintaas mar alla markii Muuse wax laga akhriyo dabool ayaa qalbigooda saaran. 16 Laakiin mar alla markii loo soo leexdo Rabbiga daboolka waa laga qaadaa. 17 Rabbigu waa Ruuxa, oo meeshii Ruuxa Rabbigu joogana, waxaa jira xorriyad. 18 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.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves(A) again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation(B) to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.(C) You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,(D) not on tablets of stone(E) but on tablets of human hearts.(F)

Such confidence(G) we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves(H) to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.(I) He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant(J)—not of the letter(K) but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.(L)

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant

Now if the ministry that brought death,(M) which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory,(N) transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that brought condemnation(O) was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!(P) 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

12 Therefore, since we have such a hope,(Q) we are very bold.(R) 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face(S) to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull,(T) for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant(U) is read.(V) It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord,(W) the veil is taken away.(X) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit,(Y) and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.(Z) 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a](AA) the Lord’s glory,(AB) are being transformed into his image(AC) with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
