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)
Tulumanyile ingave uvutamo vwa nkhilunga ikyututama umu ginangikha, tulinayo inyumba ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve. Yu nyumba iyu sayinchangiwa na mavokho ga vanu, yu nyumba ya sikhu joni kukyanya. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
Ulwakhuva mu hema ili twitamiwa, twinogwa ukhufwata ukwa khutama khukyanya.
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
Vu twinogwa evi ulwakuva ukhufwala satukhavonekhe ukuva vuvule.
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.
Lweli vutuligati mu hema ili, twifamwa vwutugatile. Santwinogwa ukhufuliwa. Pwu twinogwa, ukhufwalinchiwa, pwu ikifwile tumila nu vwumi.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Uvi atuvikhile ufwe kwu khinu ikhi vi Nguluve, uvyatupile ufwe Umepo ndu lwidihano lwa kitu ikyu ya khave kwikwicho.
6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
Pwu lino muve na makha ifigono fyoni. Muve miho ukhuta unsikhi vwu lulikukhaya khi mbili, tulikhutali nu Nkuludeva.
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight: )
Ulwakhuva tugenda nu lwidikho sio khwa khulola.
8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Pwu lino lulina makha. Huba tuve kutali ukhuhuma khumbili na kukhaya paninie nu nkuludeva.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
Pwu tuvomba uvunogwe wetu, vutwiva kukhaya aukhuvutali tung'ovosye umwene.
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.
Ulwakhuva twivoni tuvonekhage kuvolongolo kwu khigoda ikhya vuhigi ikya Kristi, pwu khila munu upulile ikhinogelanile kwu mbombo inchivombekha khi mbili, khuve khu vononu au khuvuvivi.
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.
Pwu ukhulumanya uvudwachi vwa nkuludeva, tukhuvavula avanu. Umu tuvelile, ivonekha vuvule nu Nguluve. Luhuvilo ukhuva vukhulumanya mnyivoneho nchinyo.
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.
Satwigela ukhuvasonga umwe khange ukhutulola ufwe ukhuva vayilweli. Pwu tukhuvapa umwe ulwakhuva ulwiginio khuliufwe, mvinchage gakhuvavula khuvala avikhiginia mkuvonekha khikhyo sakhili munumbula.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.
Ulwakhuva ingave tunchumbile nu luhala khunongwa ya Nguluve. Ingave khwutule kuluhala lwito ulunonu ulwito.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
Ulwakhuva ulugano lwa risti lukhutukwegelencha: ulwakhuva tulinuvwa yilweli nili ukhuta umunu yumo afwile khu nongwa icha vone pwulino voni vafwile.
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.
Nu Unkristi afwile khunongwa ncha voni, pwu khuta vala avitama valekhe khange kwa ajili ya vene. Pwu vatamage navene uvyavile afwile nukhunchukha.
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.
Pwu lino, ukhutengula lino nukulutelila satukhung'iga umunu ukhukongana ni ikhigelelo kya munu, ndayive khunsa na tulikhundola uKristi ndulu. Lino satukhungiga umunu yoyoni khange.
17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Pwu lino, ingave umunu yoyoni aligati mwa Kristi, umwene avile munu impya. Agakhatale galutile. Lola, gavile mapya.
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;
Ifinu fyoni ifi fihuma khwa Nguluve. Atunonchinche ufwe kwu mwene ukhugendela khwa Kristi, atupile imbombo ya kusayania.
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.
Ukhu khu nchova mwa Kristi, Unguluve ikhutusayania ni khilunga khwu mwene, mlekhe ukhu inongwa ncha vene. Ivika khulyufwe ilimenyu lya kusayania.
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.
Pwa tuhaliwe ndi g'wa gilinchiwa va Kristi, ukhuta Unguluve alikhuluta khuvulongolo(lufaa) ya mwene ukhugendelela kulyufwe. Tukhuvadova umwe ukhugendela mwa Kristi: “Msayane nu Nguluve!”
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.
Akhambikha uKristi ukhuva nekhelo khu nungwa nchito. Umwene visatule inongwa. Avombile evo tuvombe uvwa yilweli vwa Nguluve khumwene.
