Riyeˈ quicˈualon apo wuj ri nubij chupan chi utz yeˈicˈul y chukaˈ niquicˈutuj chic el jun wuj chiwe riyix ri nubij chi quecˈul cuma ri kachˈalal ri yecˈo pa nicˈaj chic tinamit. Yacˈa riyoj ma rajawaxic ta chi queriˈ nikaben. Ruma ri winek niquitzˈet chi riyix xjalatej ri icˈaslen ruma ri samaj ri xkaben chicojol. Niquitzˈet ri utzilaj icˈaslen y yariˈ ri nibin chi utz yojcˈul cuma quinojel. Y riˈ pa tak kánima riyoj tzˈibatal wi y ma chuwech ta wuj. Can nikˈalajin chi yix achiˈel jun wuj riche (rixin) ri Cristo ri tzˈiban ruwech, ri jachon pa kakˈaˈ riyoj riche (rixin) chi nikataluj rubixic chique ri winek, ri ma tzˈiban ta riqˈui tinta. Ruma can riqˈui ri ru‑Espíritu ri cˈaslic Dios tzˈiban wi y ma chuwech ta chukaˈ tzˈalan tak abej tzˈiban wi, abej ri xa majun nunaˈ ta. Xa can chuwech ri iwánima tzˈibatal wi riche (rixin) chi can ninaˈ cˈa ri nubij ri Espíritu riche (rixin) ri Dios.

Y riyoj can cukul wi kacˈuˈx chi can queriˈ, ruma can kacukuban kacˈuˈx riqˈui ri Dios. Ri Cristo can nuyaˈ wi kachukˈaˈ chubanic ri samaj. Kayon riyoj majun yojcowin nikaben, astapeˈ can cˈo jubaˈ samaj kabanon, pero majun modo nikabij chi can yoj cˈa riyoj yojbano, ruma chi can ya ri Dios nibano chake chi yojcowin nikaben ri samaj riˈ. Y ya cˈa Riyaˈ ri yojucusan pa rusamaj, y xuben cˈa chake chi xoj‑oc rusamajel riche (rixin) chi nikakˈalajsaj ri cˈacˈacˈ trato chiquiwech ri winek. Y ya cˈa chukaˈ Riyaˈ niyaˈo chake ri rajawaxic, riche (rixin) chi can yojcowin nikaben ri samaj riˈ. Y ma riche (rixin) ta cˈa chi nikasamajij ri ojer trato ri tzˈiban ca chuwech tzˈalan tak abej, ma que ta riˈ, can riche (rixin) cˈa chi nikakˈalajsaj ri cˈacˈacˈ trato ri tzˈiban riqˈui ri Espíritu. Ruma ri ojer trato ri tzˈiban chuwech tzˈalan tak abej ma nuyaˈ ta cˈaslen, xa nucˈut chkawech chi nika ri camic pa kawiˈ ruma xa yoj aj maquiˈ. Pero ri tzˈiban riqˈui ri Espíritu, can nuyaˈ wi cˈaslen.

Ri trato ri tzˈiban chuwech tzˈalan tak abej ri xyaˈox (xyaˈ) chare ri Moisés xa camic xucˈom pe pa kawiˈ. Pero ma riqˈui wi riˈ can cˈo rukˈij. Ruma can xkˈalajin ri nimalaj sakil riche (rixin) ri Dios chupalej ri Moisés tek xban ri trato riˈ y rumariˈ ri israelitas can ma xecowin ta xquitzuˈ apo ri rupalej ruma can sibilaj nitzˈitzˈan y ri sakil riˈ xa niqˈuis ka. Y wi nim rejkalen ri nabey trato riˈ, ¿la man cˈo ta cami más rukˈij ri samaj ri ntajin nuben ri Lokˈolaj Espíritu wacami? Ruma wi cˈo rukˈij ri nabey trato ri xban ri xa camic xucˈom pe pa kawiˈ; wi queriˈ, can más na wi nim rukˈij ri trato ri nuben chake chi yojtzˈetetej ruma ri Dios chi majun kamac. 10 Ri nabey trato, can xcˈojeˈ wi cˈa rukˈij, pero ma junan ta rukˈij riqˈui ri cˈacˈacˈ trato, ruma ri cˈacˈacˈ trato can más wi nim rukˈij. 11 Ruma wi can xcˈojeˈ cˈa rukˈij ri nabey trato ri ma nucusex ta riche (rixin) ronojel tiempo, ri jun chic trato can cˈo cˈa más rukˈij ruma yariˈ ri can xtucusex cˈa riche (rixin) xtibe kˈij xtibe sek.

12 Can cukul wi cˈa kacˈuˈx riqˈui ri cˈacˈacˈ trato chi ma xtiqˈuis ta ka rukˈij, y rumariˈ can ma nikewaj ta rukˈalajsaxic chique ri winek. 13 Tek nikatzijoj cˈa chique ri winek, ma rajawaxic ta chi nikaben achiˈel xuben ri Moisés. Riyaˈ xcˈatzin chi xutzˈapij rupalej riqˈui jun tziek, riche (rixin) chi ri israelitas man cˈa niquitzuˈ ta tek niqˈuis el ri sakil chupalej. 14 Pero chukaˈ ri israelitas riˈ xa xtzˈapitej quiwech, y rumariˈ ri quinojibal ma qˈuiy ta cˈa ri xkˈax chuwech. Y cˈa que na riˈ quibanon ri israelitas wacami. Tek nisiqˈuix ri nabey trato chiquiwech, ma nikˈax ta jabel chiquiwech, ruma can cˈa tzˈapel na quiwech. Y ri nelesan ri tzˈapebel quiwech xaxu (xaxe) wi cˈa ri Cristo. 15 Y riyeˈ can cˈa que na riˈ quibanon re wacami. Ruma tek nisiqˈuix ri wuj chiquiwech ri ye ruyaˈon ca ri Moisés chique, xa ma napon ta pa tak cánima, xa can achiˈel pisil rij ri cánima. 16 Pero tek ri israelitas riˈ xtitzolin pe quicˈuˈx riqˈui ri Ajaf Jesucristo, yacˈariˈ tek xtelesex el ri tzˈapeyon quiwech y ri pisiyon rij ri cánima. 17 Ruma tek niquicˈul ri Ajaf Jesucristo, ya ri ru‑Espíritu Riyaˈ ri niquicˈul. Y ri acuchi (achique) nicˈojeˈ wi ri ru‑Espíritu Riyaˈ, can yecolotej cˈa pe chuxeˈ ri ley. 18 Xa rumacˈariˈ tek konojel riyoj ri kaniman chic ri Jesucristo, ma tzˈapel ta chic kapalej, xa can yoj achiˈel jun espejo ri can nikˈalajin chic rukˈij rucˈojlen ri Ajaf pa kacˈaslen y ri rukˈij rucˈojlen ri Ajaf ronojel kˈij ruchapon nujel más ri kacˈaslen riche (rixin) chi queriˈ yoj‑oc na achiˈel rubanic Riyaˈ. Y can xkojjalatej wi cˈa, y reˈ can ya cˈa ri ru‑Espíritu ri Ajaf nibano chake.

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.
