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)
Muni timanyili kuvya lindanda lenili letitama hinu pamulima apa ndi higa yitu palitupuliwa, Chapanga yati akutipela pandu pangi kunani kwa Chapanga, nyumba ya magono goha yangajengwa kwa mawoko ga vandu. (aiōnios g166)
2 For, indeed, in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be invested with our heavenly mansion.
Na hinu, tityalatyala, mukulindila kwa mnogo uvaha kupewa higa ya mupya kunani kwa Chapanga.
3 And surely, being thus invested, we shall not be found naked.
Ena, ndava ya kupewa higa zenizo muni tilolekana lepi kuvya tivii na higa palongolo ya Chapanga.
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.
Takavya takona muhiga yeniyi ya chimundu tivemba kwa kukeka. Lepi tigana kuileka higa iyi ya lifwa, nambu tinogela kupewa higa yila ya kunani kwa Chapanga yangafwa, muni kila chechifwa tibadilishwa na wumi wa magono goha.
5 Now he who has wrought us up to this very desire, is God, who has also given us the earnest of the Spirit.
Ndi Chapanga mwene ndi mweatihengili aga goha kavili atipelili Mpungu Msopi, avya ulangisu wa kulangisa kuvya chakaka vindu vyoha Chapanga vyeativikili tete.
6 We are, therefore, always courageous; knowing that while at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
Tisindamili magono goha. Timanyili kuvya kutama muhiga iyi lukumbi lwoha ndi kutama patali na BAMBU.
7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight.)
Muni titama kwa sadika, lepi mukulola.
8 We are courageous, indeed, and desirous rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Nambu tisindamili na tiganili kuuleka wumi uwu wa higa na kuhamalila kwa BAMBU.
9 Therefore, also, we strive earnestly, whether at home, or from home, to be acceptable to him.
Nambu lijambu livaha neju ndi kumganisa BAMBU, tikavya na higa ya pamulima amala higa ya kunani kwa Chapanga.
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.
Muni tavoha yati tiyima palongolo ya chigoda cha uhamula cha Kilisitu, muni kila mundu apewayi chechiganikiwa kwa matendu gakitili lukumbi peavi pamulima, gabwina amala gahakau.
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.
Hinu, tete timanyili kumlumbalila BAMBU chindu kiki, ndi tisindimala kuvahuta vandu vangi. Chapanga atimanyili hotohoto, na nene nisadika kuvya mewa nyenye mtimanyili bwina neju.
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.
Tete tikujilumbalila lepi tavete palongolo yinu, nambu tikuvapela fwasi ya kumekela tete muni muhotola kuvayangula vala vevimeka ndava ya kuloleka cha kuvala kuliku chevavili mugati ya mitima yavi.
13 For, whether we be beside ourselves, it is for God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.
Yikavya tiwonikini kuvya tipenga, ndi ndava ya kumganisa Chapanga, na yikavya tivili na luhala, ndava ya kuvatangatila nyenye.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us, having judged thus-- that if one has died, certainly all have died;
Ndava tete tilongoswa na uganu wa Kilisitu ndi hinu timanyili kuvya mundu mmonga afwili ndava ya vandu voha, ndi kujova kuvya na tete tiwungini mulifwa laki.
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.
Afwili ndava ya vandu voha, muni voha vevitama muwumi, vakotoka kutama ndava ya kujiganisa vene, nambu kumganisa Chapanga mweafwili na kuyuka ndava yavi.
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.
Hinu, kuhumila hinu, nakumpima mundu yoyoha muluhala lwa chimundu. Hati ngati lukumbi lumonga tampimili Kilisitu muluhala lwa chimundu, hinu ndi lepi.
17 For, if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!
Mundu yoyoha akawungana na Kilisitu ivya mundu wa mupya, mambu ga kadeni gapitili, mambu ga mupya gahikili.
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--
Loha ndi lihengu la Chapanga kutitepulanisa tete na mwene mu njila ya lifwa la Kilisitu, na kutipela lihengu la kuvatepulanisa vandu vangi na mwene.
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.
Wenuwu ndi ujumbi witu, Chapanga autepulanisi vandu va mulima uwu na mwene mu njila ya lifwa la Kilisitu, changali kuvalanga kubuda kwavi. Chapanga atipelili tete lihengu la kuvatepulanisa vandu na mwene.
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.
Hinu tete tavajumbi wa Kilisitu, na Chapanga mwene ijova na tete kuvayupa neju nyenye. Tikuvayupa neju paliina la Kilisitu, mutepulaniswa na Chapanga.
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.
Kilisitu ambudili lepi Chapanga, nambu ndava yitu, Chapanga amkitili agega goha getimbudili, muni tete mukuwungana nayu, Chapanga atikita kuvya vabwina palongo yaki.
