2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthy house of this our tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Tulizi kuti na nganda yesu yansi chilawu - yamwayisigwa, tulabuyaki kuliLeza. Ninganda itayakwi amaboko abantu pesi nganda itamani, ilikujulu. (aiōnios g166)
2 For, indeed, in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be invested with our heavenly mansion.
Nkambo muchilawu echi tulalila kapati, kuti tukasamikwe abukalo bwesu bwakujulu.
3 And surely, being thus invested, we shall not be found naked.
Tulabulangilila bukkalo obu nkambo na twabusama tatukoyo janika katuli azintanda.
4 For, indeed, we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not that we desire to be divested, but invested: that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
Kasimpe nituchili muchilawu echi tulalila kapati akulemenwa. Tatuyandi pe tukaleke kusamikwa. Pesi, tuyanda kusamikwa kuti echo chifwa chikamenegwe abuumi.
5 Now he who has wrought us up to this very desire, is God, who has also given us the earnest of the Spirit.
Watubambila echi chintu nguLeza, wakatupa muuya usalala mbuli chitondezyo cha echo chiyosika.
6 We are, therefore, always courageous; knowing that while at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
Aboobo amube alusyomo, kuti katuchili kumunzi mumubili, tuli kule aMwami.
7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight.)
Nkambo twenda akusyoma pepe akubona.
8 We are courageous, indeed, and desirous rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Lino tuli akusyomesesya katutali mumibili pele katuli mumunzi aMwami.
9 Therefore, also, we strive earnestly, whether at home, or from home, to be acceptable to him.
Lino twita kuti chibe chintulangilila swebo nekuba tuchiliku munzi nekuba katutali nkuko kuti mukamubotezye.
10 For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in the body, according to what has been done, whether good or evil.
Mbunga toonse tuyoboneka kunembo lyachuno chalubeta chaKkilisito kwitila kuti umwi awumwi utakatambule zilengene azintu zichitwa mumubili na bubotu nekuba bubi.
11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; and are made manifest to God: and, I trust, are made manifest also to your consciences.
Nekuba boobo, kuziba kuyowa Mwami tukombelezya bantu. Kulabonwa kabotu mbutubede aLeza, ndilangilila kuti kulibabo kumanjezezya anu.
12 However, we do not again commend ourselves to you, but only give you occasion of boasting concerning us, that you may have an answer to them who boast in appearance, not in heart.
Tatuli kwezya lubo kukombelezya ndinywe katuboneka katulibasyomekede pesi tunokumupa makani makani akulidunda atala andiswe, kuti mukabe ansandulo kuli babo balikankayizya atala akuboneka kwabo pesi kakutali mbukubede mumoyo.
13 For, whether we be beside ourselves, it is for God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.
Na tulizwide mumiyeyo yesu nkukwaLeza; pele na kuti mumiyeyo mibotu nkuyanda kwako.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us, having judged thus-- that if one has died, certainly all have died;
Luyando lwaKkilisito lwatuchunda nkambo twakamanisya echi. Kuti muntu umwi wakafwida boonse aboobo boonse bakafwa.
15 and that he has died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who has died and rose again for them.
Wakafwida boonse kuti bapona kabatachiponeni lwabo beni pesi baponene oyo nkambo nkako wakabafwida akubusigwa.
16 So that we, from this time forth, respect no man on account of the flesh: and even if we have esteemed Christ on account of the flesh, yet now we esteem him no more on that account.
Ankambo kachechi kuzwa lino kaziya kunembo tatukabwene mumwi mukwinda munyam, nekuba kuti twakali muzi Kkilisito mukwinda munyama. Pesi kwalino tatuchizi.
17 For, if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!
Nkikako na umwi uli muli Kkilisito, waba chilenge chipya. Zintu zyachindi zyayinda. Bona zyaba zipya.
18 And all these things of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us to the ministry of the reconciliation--
Ezi nzitu zyoonse zizwa kuliLez, wakatubwedezya mulinguwe lubo mukwinda muliKkilisito akutipa mulimo wakubwedezyanya.
19 namely, that God was, by Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting to them their trespasses, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Nkokuti muli Kkilisito leza unolikubwedezyanya nyika kuli nguwe, kutesi kubala milaka ilatala ambaabo. Unokutupa makani akubweedelana.
20 We, therefore, execute the office of ambassadors for Christ, as of God beseeching you by us; we pray you, in behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Aboobo twakatondekwa mbuli bayimikilila baKkilisito mbuli anga Leza walikuchita kukombelezya mukwinda mulindiswe.”Twamukumbila, ankambo kwakuyanda kwaKkilisito: Amubwedelane aLeza.”
21 For he has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us; that we might become the justified of God, by him.
Wakamubumba oyo wakalezi chibi kuti abe chibi kulindiswe, kuti tukabe bululami bwaLeza mulinguwe, kuti abe chibi kulindiswe, kuti tukabe bululami bwaLeza mulinguwe.
