< 2 Corinthians 5 >

1 For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens. (aiōnios g166)
“Tucinshi cena kwambeti mibili yetu yapacishi capanshi pano, mushakasa uwu wakapwaika, nitukafwale mibili njatubambila Lesa kwilu, ng'anda yabula kwibakwa ne makasa abantu, ng'anda yacindi conse. (aiōnios g166)
2 For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen.
Tulatongelenga mu ng'anda iyi njotulekalangamonga, pakwinga tulayandishishinga kwambeti Lesa akatwikalike mu ng'anda yetu ya kwilu.
3 Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.
Twakaifwala nteti tukacanike matakosha sobwe,
4 For in deede we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpon, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of life.
Pakwinga cino cindi ncotuli mu mushakasa uwu tulatongelenga cebo ca kulemenwa mikuli, nomba nteko kuyanda kufulula nsulo uwu mushakasha sobwe, nsombi kwambeti twakafwala ng'anda yetu ya kwilu mibili iyi ikute kufwa ikaminwe ne buyumi.
5 And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit.
Lesa mwine elatubambili kushinta uku nekutupa Mushimu Uswepa kuba cishomesho cabyonse mbyatubambila.
6 Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord.
Neco cindi conse twashometi twacibanga ne mibili iyi yabuntu, Mwami Yesu Klistu ukute kacili kutali nenjafwe.”
7 (For we walke by faith, and not by sight.)
Pakwinga tulendenga mu lushomo, ntebyo bintu mbyotulabononga ne menso.
8 Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
Ndambangeti, tukute lushomo lwakwambeti inga twifulula mibili iyi ne kuya kwikala pamo ne Mwami.
9 Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him.
Kupita bintu byonse, tulelekeshenga kumukondwelesha Mwami Yesu, nambi pacindi ncotucili twekala pepi nendiye, nambi katuli.
10 For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or euill.
Pakwinga twense nitukabonekele kuli Klistu kwambeti atomboloshe. “Muntu uliyense nakatambulenga kwelana ne ncito nshainsanga mu buyumi bwakendi, shaina nambi shaipa.”
11 Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
Neco caina kutina Mwami Lesa, ecebo cakendi tulabayuminishinga bantu kwambeti bese kuli Lesa. Lesa utwinshi cena, kayi ndashoma kwambeti ne njamwe mutwinshi cena.
12 For we prayse not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue to answere against them, which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart.
Nkatulalituntunga sobwe, nsombi tulelekeshenga kumupa citondesho cela kumutwangisha cebo ca njafwe, kwambeti mukacikonshe kubakumbula abo balalumbanyanga muntu ncalaleshenga kunsa kupita kwishiba muntu ncabele mukati mu moyo.
13 For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you.
Neco na twafulungana mano, twafulunganina Lesa. Na tulabonekenga bantu bakute mano, nipacebo cenu.
14 For that loue of Christ constraineth vs,
Lusuno lwa Klistu lulatutangunininga, pakwinga lino tucinsheti muntu umo walafwila bantu bonse, uku ekwambeti bonse balamantamo lubasu mu lufu lwakendi.
15 Because we thus iudge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which liue, shoulde not henceforth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.
Klistu walafwila twense, kwambeti abo bakute buyumi kabatayandangowa kulikondwelesha bonka, nsombi bakondweleshenga uyo walafwa ne kupunduka ku bafu cebo ca endibo.
16 Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more.
Pacino cindi katulekani kombolosha bantu, kupitila mu mano abuntu bwetu. Nambi kaindi twalikuyeya sha Klistu kwelana ne mano abuntu onka, nsombi pacino cindi nkatwela kwinseco sobwe.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe.
Neco lino uyo muntu lalipamankanya kuli Klistu laba cibumbwa ca lino lino, cakaindi cilapiti, laba walino lino.
18 And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation.
Lesa ewalenseci kwambeti kupitila mu lufu lwa Klistu, afwe twalikuba balwani tube banendi, ne kutupa ncito yakuleta bantu nabambi kulyendiye kuba banendi.
19 For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himselfe, not imputing their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the word of reconciliation.
Ncotulapandululunga nicakwambeti Lesa labambanga bwineshi pakati pali njafwe nendiye, kupitila muli Klistu. Lesa wafuta bwipishi bonse pakutupa mulumbe ngotulamwayanga weshi kuleta lumuno.
20 Now then are we ambassadours for Christ: as though God did beseeche you through vs, we pray you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled to God.
Afwe njafwe tulamwimanininga Klistu, kayi Lesa lamusengenga kwambeti munyumfwe mulumbe ngotulakambaukunga. Tulambanga makani a Klistu kayi ne kumusengeti mubweshane ne Lesa
21 For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, which knewe no sinne, that we should be made the righteousnesse of God in him.
Klistu nkalikuba ne bwipishi sobwe, nomba Lesa walamutwika bwipishi bonse bwa bantu kwambeti kupitila mulyendiye tucane bululami bwa Lesa.
