2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that, when our earthly house of this habitation is dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Twizi kuti mubili we nkanda mutuhala hausinyeha, twina muzako kuzwa kwa Ireeza. Izuvo isa pangitwe cha mayaza abantu, kono i zuvo isamani, mwi wulu. (aiōnios g166)
2 And for this reason also, we groan, desiring to be clothed from above with our habitation from heaven.
Mi mweli tete tu tonga, tu shukelwa ku zwatikwa chizwato cha kwiwulu.
3 If we are so clothed, then we will not be found to be naked.
Tushukelwa i chi chitu mukuti hatu chizwata kete tu wanike kuti katu zwete.
4 Then too, we who are in this tabernacle groan under the burden, because we do not want to be stripped, but rather to be clothed from above, so that what is mortal may be absorbed by life.
Cha kwizula ni twina mweli itete, tu tonga, ni mubukabo. Katu saki kwi kala ni tusazwete. Kuhita, tusaka kuzwata, ili kutu chisafwi chi miniwe buhalo.
5 Now the One who accomplishes this very thing in us is God, who has given us the pledge of the Spirit.
I ye yaba tu lukisezi ichi chitu nji Ireeza, ya batuhi Luhuho ili kuti ibe bupaki bwa chikeza.
6 Therefore, we are ever confident, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are on a pilgrimage in the Lord.
Nihakuba bulyo twina ni kuba ni nsepo. Twina ni kwiziba kuti heti twina ku munzi mu mibili, tuzwa kwa Simwine.
7 For we walk by means of faith, and not by sight.
Mi tuyenda chetumelo, isini cha chi voneka.
8 So we are confident, and we have the good will to be on a pilgrimage in the body, so as to be present to the Lord.
Mi twina insepo. Tu swanela kuzwa mu mubili ni kukava kumunzi ni Simwine.
9 And thus we struggle, whether absent or present, to please him.
Linu tu panga chi kokwani chetu, kapa twina kumunzi kapa hanze, ku musangisa.
10 For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.
Mi twense tu swanena ku boneka habusu bwa chipula che inkatulo cha Keresite, I li kuti zumwi ni zumwi a tambule chitu chaba pangi mu mubili, kapa kubu lotu kapa ku bubi.
11 Therefore, having knowledge of the fear of the Lord, we appeal to men, but we are made manifest before God. Yet I hope, too, that we may be made manifest in your consciences.
Niha kuba vulyo, kwi ziba kutiza kwe Simwine, tu susuweza vantu. Mutwi kalile tu bonwa kwa Ireeza. Ni sepa kuti zonse zizuwekete kwi zwalo lyenu.
12 We are not commending ourselves again to you, but rather we are presenting you with an opportunity to glory because of us, when you deal with those who glory in face, and not in heart.
Ka tuliki kumi susuweza kuti mutu bone kuti tusepahala. Kuhita, tumiha ibaka lya kuli kumusa chetu, ili kuti ube ni kalabo kwabo bali kulitemba cha ziboneka isini zina mwi nkulo.
13 For if we are excessive in mind, it is for God; but if we are sober, it is for you.
Mi heba tuzwile mu mihupulo yetu, njiza Ireeza. Mi haiba twina mu mihupulo yetu ishiyeme, nji kwako.
14 For the charity of Christ urges us on, in consideration of this: that if one died for all, then all have died.
Mi ilato lya Keresite litu susuweza, ka kuti tuli kolwisisa kechi: kuti muntu yeke aba fwili vonse, mi niha kuba bulyo vonse linu ba bafwi.
15 And Christ died for all, so that even those who live might not now live for themselves, but for him who died for them and who rose again.
Imi Keresite ava fwili vonse, ili kuti avo bense bahala kazi bahali lwabo, niha kuba vulyo, bahale ka lwakwe iye ya vafwi ni kuvuka.
16 And so, from now on, we know no one according to the flesh. And though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer.
Che libaka, kuzwa hanu kutwala oko katu nyansa muntu kuya ka chizimo cha buntu, niha kuba bulyo naswe mutu bali kuhindila Keresite mwei nzila. Kono hanu katu sinyansi bamwi cheyi nzila ni kamuta.
17 So if anyone is a new creature in Christ, what is old has passed away. Behold, all things have been made new.
Niha kuba bulyo, haiva zumwi wina mwa Keresite, chibumbatu chihya, zintu za kale ziba mani. Mubone, chiba ba sanduki bahya.
18 But all is of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
Zonse izi zintu zizwa kwa Ireeza. Aba tubonzi kwali cha Keresite, imi aba tuhi ikolo lya ku bolisana inkulo.
19 For certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not charging them with their sins. And he has placed in us the Word of reconciliation.
I li kuti, mwa Keresite Ireeza ukwete u bozekeza ikanda kwali, nasa ba balili milandu yavo. U kwete utuha iñusa lya kubozisana inkulo.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God.
Tubasalwa kuti tube bazimanini ba Keresite, ubu Ireeza abali kuli zibahaza chetu. Tu likumbilila nanwe, che baka lya Keresite: “Mubole kwa Ireeza.
21 For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
Aba chiti Keresite kuti ibe chitabelo chetu kechibi. Nji yena ya sena ba tendi chibi. Aba tendi izi kuti tube ba shiyeme kwa Ireeza mwali.
