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)
Tutangite panga kati maskani ga ulimwengu ambayo twatama umo yaharibika, tubile ni lijengo boka kwa Nnongo. Ni nyumba ichengwite kwa maboko ya bandu, ila ni nyumba yangayomoka, katika maunde. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
Kwa kuwa katika lihema lee twaugua twatamaniya kuvikwa kwa maskani yitu kumaunde.
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
Twatamaniya kwa ajili ya yee kwa sababu kwa kuiwala twalowa bonekana kwaa kuwa tubile ntopo ngobo.
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.
Kwa hakiaka muda tubile nkati ya hema lee, twaugua mana tukilemewa. Tupala kwaa kuvuliwa. Badala yake, twapala kuwalishwa, ili panga chelo chawaa ili kiweze mezwa ni ukoto.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Yolo ywatuandaa twenga kwa kilebe chelo ni Nnongo, ambaye ywatupeile twenga Roho kati ahadi ya chelo chalowa isa.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
Kwa eyo mube ni ujasiri masoba gote. Mube minyo panga wakati tubile munyumba katika yega, tubile kutalu na Ngwana.
7 ( For we walk by faith, not by sight: )
Kwa kuwa twatyanga kwa imani, kwa lolekea kwaa. Kwa eyo tubile ni ujasiri.
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Ni bora tube kutalu mu'yega ni nyumba pamope ni Ngwana.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
Kwa eyo twaipanga kuwa lengo letu, mana tukiwa mu'nyumba au kutalu, tumpendeze ywembe.
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.
Kwa kuwa lazima bote tubonekane nnongi ya iteo cha hukumu cha Kristo, ili panga kila yumo aweze pokya chelo chastahili kwa makowe gapangika katika yega, mana itei ni kwa uzuri au kwa ubaya.
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.
Kwa eyo, kwa kuitanga hofu ya Ngwana, twaashawishi bandu. Mana yatubile, ibonekana wazi ni Nnongo. Nendatumainiya kuwa itangike pia mu'dhamiri yinu.
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.
Twajaribu kwaa kuashawishi mwenga kae kutubona twenga kati wa kweli. Badala yake, twaapeya mwenga sababu ya kuipunia kwa ajili yitu, ili panga muweze kuwa na jibu kwa balo baipunia kuhusu ya ibonekana lakini ibile kwaa chabile nkati ya mwoyo.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
Kwa kuwa mana itei tumerukwa na malango, ni kwa ajili ya Nnongo. Na kati tubile mu'akili yitu timamu, ni kwa ajili yinu.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
Kwa mana upendo wa Kristo watushurutisha, kwa sababu tubile na uhakika ni lee: kuwa mundu yumo atiwaa kwa ajili ya bote, na kwa eyo bote batiwaa.
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.
Na Kristo atiwaa kwa ajili ya bote, ili panga bale batama batame kwaa kae kwa ajili yabe bene. Badala yake, lazima utama kwa ajili yake ywembe ambaye atiwaa ni fufuliwa.
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.
Kwa sababu yee, kuanzia nambeambe ni kuyendelea tumuhukumu kwaa mundu lingana na viwango vya bandu, ingawa hapo kwanza twatimlola Kristo katika namna yee. Lakini nambeambe twamuhukumu kwaa yeyote kwa namna yee kae.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Kwa eyo, mana itei mundu yoyote abile nkati ya Kristo, ywembe ni kiumbe chaayambe. Makowe ya kale yatipeta. Linga, gabile gaayambe.
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;
Ilebe yote yee yatiboka kwa Nnongo. Ywatupanisha twenga kwake mwene pitya Kristo, na atupile huduma ya upatanisho.
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.
Nga nyoo ni baya, katika Kristo, Nnongo atiupatanisha ulimwengu kwake mwene, bila balangana makosa gabe dhidi yabe. Atiwekeza kwitu ujumbe wa upatanisho.
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.
Kwa nyoo twasauliwa kati bawakilishi ba Kristo, kati panga Nnongo abile apanga rufaa yake pitya twenga. Twaaloba mwenga kwa ajili ya Kristo: “Mpatanishwe kwa Nnongo!”
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.
Ampangite Kristo kuwa sadaka kwa ajili ya sambi yitu. Ywembe nga ambaye apangite kwaa sambi. Apangite nyoo ili tuweze kupangika haki ya Nnongo katika ywembe.
