2 Corinthians 5
1 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is dismantled, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. (aiōnios g166)
Toyebi malamu ete, soki ndako na biso, ndako oyo ya kapo epai wapi tovandaka awa na mokili ebebisami, tozali na ndako oyo Nzambe abongisela biso, ndako ya seko kati na Lola, ndako monene oyo etongama na maboko ya bato te. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
Nzokande, kati na ndako yango ya kapo, tozali penza komona pasi, wana tozali kozela na posa makasi ete tolata ndako na biso ya Lola,
3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
pamba te soki penza tolati yango, tokozala motakala te.
4 So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life.
Solo, wana tozali nanu kati na ndako oyo ya kapo, tozali penza komona pasi mpe konyokwama, pamba te toboyi kobanda nanu na kolongola, kasi tolingi nde kolata mbala moko ndako na biso ya Lola, mpo ete bomoi emela oyo ekufaka.
5 And God has prepared us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.
Nzambe oyo abongiseli biso likambo yango apesi biso Molimo na Ye lokola ndanga ya biloko oyo esengeli koya.
6 Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.
Yango wana tozalaka na mpiko tango nyonso. Mpe toyebi malamu ete, awa tozali kowumela kati na nzoto oyo, tozali mosika na Nkolo,
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
pamba te totambolaka kolanda kondima, kasi kolanda miso te.
8 We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Totondi penza na mpiko, kasi tokosepela kotika nzoto oyo mpo na kokende kovanda elongo na Nkolo.
9 So we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it.
Yango wana, ezala tovandi kati na nzoto oyo to totiki yango, tokolukaka kaka kosepelisa Nkolo.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.
Pamba te biso nyonso tokosamba liboso ya esambiselo ya Klisto mpo ete moto nyonso azwa lifuti oyo ekoki na ye kolanda makambo oyo asalaki na nzela ya nzoto na ye, makambo ya malamu to ya mabe.
11 Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.
Lokola toyebi makambo oyo ezali kati na kotosa Nkolo, yango wana tondimisaka bato mosusu, mpe Nzambe ayebi biso malamu. Nazali na elikya ete bino mpe boyebi yango kati na mitema na bino.
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again. Instead, we are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who take pride in appearances rather than in the heart.
Tozali lisusu te komilobela epai na bino, kasi tozali nde kopesa bino libaku malamu ya komikumisa na tina na biso, mpo ete bokoka koyanola bato oyo bamikumisaka te na tina na makambo oyo ebombama kati na mitema, kasi na tina na oyo emonanaka na miso.
13 If we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
Mpo na biso, soki tozali komonana lokola bazoba, ezali kaka mpo na Nzambe; mpe soki tozali komonana lokola bato ya mayele, ezali nde mpo na bino.
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
Solo, bolingo ya Klisto ekangi biso, pamba te tondimisamaki ete moko kaka akufa mpo na bato nyonso; boye elingi koloba ete bato nyonso bakufa kati na ye.
15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
Akufaki mpo na bato nyonso mpo ete ba-oyo bazali na bomoi bazala lisusu na bomoi te mpo na bango moko, kasi mpo na Ye oyo akufaki mpe asekwaki mpo na bango.
16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
Boye, kobanda sik’oyo, tokotala lisusu moto moko te na ndenge ya bomoto. Atako, na kala, totalaki Klisto na ndenge ya bomoto, kasi sik’oyo tozali lisusu kotala Ye bongo te.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!
Yango wana, soki moto azali kati na Klisto, akomi ekelamu ya sika: makambo ya kala eleki, mpe makambo ya sika eyei.
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
Makambo oyo nyonso ewutaka na Nzambe oyo azongisaki boyokani kati na biso mpe Ye moko na nzela ya Klisto mpe apesaki biso lotomo ya boyokanisi.
19 that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Pamba te, kati na Klisto, Nzambe azalaki kozongisa boyokani kati na bato mpe Ye moko, na kotala masumu na bango te. Mpe atiaki kati na biso liloba ya boyokanisi.
20 Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
Yango wana, mpo na Klisto, tozali bantoma, lokola nde Nzambe azali kolendisa bato na nzela na biso: « Na Kombo ya Klisto, tozali kosenga na bino ete bozongisa boyokani na bino elongo na Nzambe.
21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
Ye oyo atikalaki kozala na lisumu te, Nzambe akomisaki Ye lisumu mpo na biso, mpo ete tokoma bosembo ya Nzambe kati na Ye. »
