2 Corinthians 5
1 Now then, we know that though our earthly, tent-like ‘house’ may be destroyed, we have a building from God (not a handmade house), eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Pabha tumumanyi kuti iilu yetu ya pashilambolyo ino malinga liema, liangabhanywaga jipali nyumba jina jikopoka kwa a Nnungu jangashengwa na makono gaka mundu, shijibhe ja pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
2 Further, in this one we do groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly habitation;
Pabha mwiilu muno tunabhubhula, tulilokolila kupegwa iilu yetu ya ambi ili kunnungu.
3 since, obviously, once clothed we will not be found naked.
Pabha tuwashwaga iilu ya kunnungu, tukabhoneka mbuti mbumu gwangali shiilu.
4 Yes, being in this ‘tent’ is a burden, so we groan—not enough to want to strip, but to be really clothed; that what is mortal may be swallowed up by the Life.
Tuli nshiilu sha pashilambolyo shino, tunabhubhula kwa topelwa, nngabha kuti tunapinga kuleka shiilu shawa shino, ikabheje tupegwe shiilu shikawa, nkupinga gumi gwa pitipiti utindiganye shiilu shetu shawa shila.
5 Now it is God who has prepared us for this very purpose, who also has given us the down payment of the Spirit.
A Nnungu bhayene bhashikututendela yene mbindikuloi, gubhatupele Mbumu jwabho abhe ngamulo ja indu yowe ibhatubhishile.
6 So we are always confident, even knowing that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord's home
Bhai, mobha gowe tunakulupalila, numbe tumumanyi kuti tutamaga na yene iilu ino mobha gowe, tunatalikangana na Bhakulungwa.
7 —we walk by faith, not by sight—
Pabha tunatama kwa ngulupai na nngabha kwa lola.
8 indeed, we are confident in preferring to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Elo, uwe twiishimilishe numbe tunabhona mbaya kushileka shiilu shino, nitama na Bhakulungwa.
9 Yes, that is why we make it our aim (whether at home or away from it) to be well pleasing to Him.
Kwa nneyo shindu sha mmbone kupunda yowe, ni kutenda ibhapinga a Nnungu, tubhaga nshiilu sha pa shilambolyo, eu tubhaga nshiilu sha kweneko.
10 Because we must all be exposed before Christ's Judgment Seat, that each one may receive his due for the things he did while in the body, whether good or bad.
Tubhowe tunapinjikwa kujima pa shitengu sha ukumu sha a Kilishitu, nkupinga kila mundu aposhele malinga shatendaga mobha ga gumi gwakwe, gabhe ga uguja eu gangali ga mmbone.
11 Therefore, since we know the Lord's intimidation, we try to convince people. We are well known to God, and I hope in your consciences as well.
Bhai, tumumanyi kuti inapinjikwa kwaajogopa Bhakulungwa, penepo tunakwaakwiyanga bhandunji, ikabheje a Nnungu bhajimanyi mitima jetu na nne ngunakulupalila kuti na mmanganyanji ntumanyinji ukoto.
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity of boasting on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
Pabha tukakwiiniya kungwenunji, ikabhe tunakumpanganga ligongo lya kwiiniya, nkupinga nkolanje sha kwajangulanga bhakwiiniyanga ga ibhakwibhonanga, kupunda ili mmitima jabhonji.
13 If we are ‘out of our senses’, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
Ibhaga tuubhoneka tukwete shalubha, genego ni kwa ligongo lya kwaanonyeya a Nnungu, eu ibhaga tukwete lunda genego ni kwa ligongo lyenunji.
14 For Christ's love impels us, having concluded this: if One died for all it follows that all died;
Pabha kupinga kwabho a Kilishitu kunakutulongoya uwe tukulupalile kuti, mundu jumo ashinkuwa kwa ligongo lya bhowe, bhai bhowe bhawilenje pamo na jwenejo.
15 and He died for all so that those who now live should no longer live for themselves but for the One who died for all and was raised again.
Bhashinkuwa kwa ligongo lya bhowe, nkupinga bhabhakotonji bhanaikulupalilanje ashaayenenji, ikabheje kwa bhene bhawile na yuywa kwa ligongo lyabhonji.
16 So then, from now on we regard no one from a fleshly perspective—even if we have ‘known’ Christ in this way, we do so no longer—
Bhai, tandubhila nnaino, tukakunnola mundu kwa lunda lwa shigundu. Nkali uwe twaabhweni a Kilishitu shigundu, ikabheje nnaino tukakwaabhona shana nneyo.
17 so then, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old things have passed on; look, all has become new!
Bhai ibhaga mundu alundanaga na a Kilishitu anabha mundu jwa ambi, ga bhukala gapitile nnaino gaishe ga ambi.
18 And that ‘all’ is from the God who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ and given us the ministry of the reconciliation,
Yowe kuikopoka kwa a Nnungu, bhatupatanishe uwe na bhenebho kwa shiwo sha a Kilishitu, gubhatupele liengo lya kwaapatanishanga bhananji na a Nnungu.
19 namely that in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, including committing to us the message of this reconciliation.
Ntenga gwetu ni kuti, a Nnungu bhashinkwiipatanisha na bhandunji bha shilambolyo kwa shiwo sha a Yeshu, gwangali kuitolelela ilebho ya bhandunji, gubhatupele liengo lya kwaapatanishanga bhandunji na bhenebho.
20 So then, we are Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God!
Kwa nneyo, uwe tubhantenga bha a Kilishitu. Na a Nnungu bhayene bhanakunshemanga mmanganyanji kupitila uwe. Kwa nneyo, tunakunnjuganga kwa lina lya a Yeshu mpatananje na a Nnungu.
21 Because He made the One who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become God's righteousness.
A Kilishitu bhakakweteje ilebho, ikabheje a Nnungu gubhaatendile bhaijigale ilebho yetu, nkupinga uwe nkulundana na a Kilishitu tukole aki kwa a Nnungu.
