2 Corinthians 5
1 FOR we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (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 in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
Tulatongelenga mu ng'anda iyi njotulekalangamonga, pakwinga tulayandishishinga kwambeti Lesa akatwikalike mu ng'anda yetu ya kwilu.
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
Twakaifwala nteti tukacanike matakosha sobwe,
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up 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 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Lesa mwine elatubambili kushinta uku nekutupa Mushimu Uswepa kuba cishomesho cabyonse mbyatubambila.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, 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 walk by faith, not by sight: )
Pakwinga tulendenga mu lushomo, ntebyo bintu mbyotulabononga ne menso.
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Ndambangeti, tukute lushomo lwakwambeti inga twifulula mibili iyi ne kuya kwikala pamo ne Mwami.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
Kupita bintu byonse, tulelekeshenga kumukondwelesha Mwami Yesu, nambi pacindi ncotucili twekala pepi nendiye, nambi katuli.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Pakwinga twense nitukabonekele kuli Klistu kwambeti atomboloshe. “Muntu uliyense nakatambulenga kwelana ne ncito nshainsanga mu buyumi bwakendi, shaina nambi shaipa.”
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also 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 commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in 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 beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
Neco na twafulungana mano, twafulunganina Lesa. Na tulabonekenga bantu bakute mano, nipacebo cenu.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
Lusuno lwa Klistu lulatutangunininga, pakwinga lino tucinsheti muntu umo walafwila bantu bonse, uku ekwambeti bonse balamantamo lubasu mu lufu lwakendi.
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
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 we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now 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, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Neco lino uyo muntu lalipamankanya kuli Klistu laba cibumbwa ca lino lino, cakaindi cilapiti, laba walino lino.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry 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 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us 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 we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye 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 sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Klistu nkalikuba ne bwipishi sobwe, nomba Lesa walamutwika bwipishi bonse bwa bantu kwambeti kupitila mulyendiye tucane bululami bwa Lesa.
