2 Corinthians 5
1 For we have known that if the tent of our earthly house may be thrown down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands—perpetual—in the heavens, (aiōnios g166)
He ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoka veteki homau fale kelekele, ko e fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku ai homau fale mei he ʻOtua, ko e fale naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe he nima, ʻoku taʻengata, ʻi he langi. (aiōnios g166)
2 for also in this we groan, earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves with our dwelling that is from Heaven,
He ʻoku māpuhoi ʻi heni, ʻo holi lahi ke mau kofuʻaki homau fale ʻaia ʻoku mei he langi:
3 if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we will not be found naked,
He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻemau kofuʻia, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻiloa ʻoku mau telefua.
4 for we also who are in the tent groan, being burdened, seeing we do not wish to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of life.
He ko kimautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku māpuhoi, kuo māfasia: kae ʻikai koeʻuhi ke mau taʻekofuʻia, kae kofuʻaki, koeʻuhi ke folo hifo ʻae matengofua ʻi he moʻui.
5 And He who worked us to this very thing [is] God, who also gave to us the deposit of the Spirit;
Pea ko ia kuo ne ngaohi ʻakimautolu ki he meʻa ko eni, ko e ʻOtua ia, ʻaia kuo ne foaki foki kiate kimautolu hono fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie.
6 having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the LORD—
Ko ia ʻoku mau lototoʻa maʻuaipē, ʻo ʻilo, lolotonga ʻemau ʻi heni ʻi he sino, ʻoku mau nofo kehekehe mo e ʻEiki:
7 for we walk through faith, not through sight—
(He ʻoku mau ʻaʻeva ʻi he tui, kae ʻikai ʻi he mamata: )
8 we have courage, and are well pleased, rather, to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the LORD.
ʻOku mau lototoʻa, pea holi ke hiki muʻa mei he sino, ka mau nonofo mo e ʻEiki:
9 We are also ambitious for this reason, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to Him,
Ko ia ʻoku mau holi ai, koeʻuhi, ka mau ka ʻi heni pe mamaʻo atu, ke lelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia.
10 for it is necessary for all of us to have appeared before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;
He kuo pau ʻe fakahā ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga fakamaau ʻo Kalaisi; koeʻuhi ke maʻu taki taha kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa naʻa ne fai ʻi he sino, pe ko ha lelei ia pe ko ha kovi.
11 having known, therefore, the fear of the LORD, we persuade men, and we are revealed to God, and I also hope to have been revealed in your consciences;
Ko ia ʻi he ʻemau ʻilo ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fakalotoʻi ʻae kakai; ka kuo fakahā atu ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ou pehē, kuo fakahā atu ki homou loto foki.
12 for we do not again recommend ourselves to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that you may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;
He ʻoku ʻikai te mau toe fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu, kae tuku ke mou vikiviki koeʻuhi ko kimautolu, pea ke mou maʻu ha tali kiate kinautolu ʻoku vikiviki fakamamata, kae ʻikai ʻi he loto.
13 for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind, [it is] to you,
He kapau kuo mau vale, ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua pe: pea kapau ʻoku mau poto, ko e meʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
14 for the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged thus: that if one died for all, then the whole died,
He ʻoku fakafeingaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻe he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi; he ʻoku pehē homau loto, kapau naʻe pekia ʻae tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē, pea tā naʻe mate kotoa pē:
15 and He died for all, that those living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them, and was raised again.
Pea naʻe pekia ia maʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻa nau toe moʻui kiate kinautolu, ka kiate ia naʻe pekia maʻanautolu, pea toetuʻu hake.
16 So that we, from now on, have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him [thus] no longer;
Ko ia ʻoku ngata heni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo fakakakano pe ha tokotaha: ʻio, naʻa mo Kalaisi, kapau naʻa mau ʻilo fakakakano ia, kuo ngata, ʻoku ʻikai te mau kei ʻilo pehē ia.
17 so that if anyone [is] in Christ—[he is] a new creature; the old things passed away, behold, all things have become new.
Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha taha, ko e fakatupu foʻou ia: kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa motuʻa; vakai, kuo hoko ʻo foʻou ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
18 And all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of the reconciliation,
Pea ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne fakalelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakamatala ʻoe fakalelei;
19 how that God was in Christ—reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻia Kalaisi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakalelei ʻa māmani kiate ia, ʻo ʻikai lau kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi fai hala; pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakaongoongo ʻoe fakalelei.
20 in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we implore, in behalf of Christ, “Be reconciled to God”;
Pea ko eni, ko e kau faifekau ʻakimautolu koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ʻoku fakakolekole ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu: ʻoku mau kole ko e fetongi ʻo Kalaisi, mou fakalelei mo e ʻOtua.
21 He made Him having not known sin [to be] sin in our behalf, that we may become the righteousness of God in Him.
He naʻa ne ngaohi ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala, koe feilaulau ʻi he angahala koeʻuhi ko kitautolu; kae hoko ai ʻakitautolu ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia.
