2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Toyebi malamu ete, soki ndako na biso, ndako oyo ya kapo epai wapi tovandaka awa na mokili ebebisami, tozali na ndako oyo Nzambe abongisela biso, ndako ya seko kati na Lola, ndako monene oyo etongama na maboko ya bato te. (aiōnios g166)
2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
Nzokande, kati na ndako yango ya kapo, tozali penza komona pasi, wana tozali kozela na posa makasi ete tolata ndako na biso ya Lola,
3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
pamba te soki penza tolati yango, tokozala motakala te.
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Solo, wana tozali nanu kati na ndako oyo ya kapo, tozali penza komona pasi mpe konyokwama, pamba te toboyi kobanda nanu na kolongola, kasi tolingi nde kolata mbala moko ndako na biso ya Lola, mpo ete bomoi emela oyo ekufaka.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Nzambe oyo abongiseli biso likambo yango apesi biso Molimo na Ye lokola ndanga ya biloko oyo esengeli koya.
6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Yango wana tozalaka na mpiko tango nyonso. Mpe toyebi malamu ete, awa tozali kowumela kati na nzoto oyo, tozali mosika na Nkolo,
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
pamba te totambolaka kolanda kondima, kasi kolanda miso te.
8 We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
Totondi penza na mpiko, kasi tokosepela kotika nzoto oyo mpo na kokende kovanda elongo na Nkolo.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
Yango wana, ezala tovandi kati na nzoto oyo to totiki yango, tokolukaka kaka kosepelisa Nkolo.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Pamba te biso nyonso tokosamba liboso ya esambiselo ya Klisto mpo ete moto nyonso azwa lifuti oyo ekoki na ye kolanda makambo oyo asalaki na nzela ya nzoto na ye, makambo ya malamu to ya mabe.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
Lokola toyebi makambo oyo ezali kati na kotosa Nkolo, yango wana tondimisaka bato mosusu, mpe Nzambe ayebi biso malamu. Nazali na elikya ete bino mpe boyebi yango kati na mitema na bino.
12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
Tozali lisusu te komilobela epai na bino, kasi tozali nde kopesa bino libaku malamu ya komikumisa na tina na biso, mpo ete bokoka koyanola bato oyo bamikumisaka te na tina na makambo oyo ebombama kati na mitema, kasi na tina na oyo emonanaka na miso.
13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
Mpo na biso, soki tozali komonana lokola bazoba, ezali kaka mpo na Nzambe; mpe soki tozali komonana lokola bato ya mayele, ezali nde mpo na bino.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
Solo, bolingo ya Klisto ekangi biso, pamba te tondimisamaki ete moko kaka akufa mpo na bato nyonso; boye elingi koloba ete bato nyonso bakufa kati na ye.
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
Akufaki mpo na bato nyonso mpo ete ba-oyo bazali na bomoi bazala lisusu na bomoi te mpo na bango moko, kasi mpo na Ye oyo akufaki mpe asekwaki mpo na bango.
16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.
Boye, kobanda sik’oyo, tokotala lisusu moto moko te na ndenge ya bomoto. Atako, na kala, totalaki Klisto na ndenge ya bomoto, kasi sik’oyo tozali lisusu kotala Ye bongo te.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
Yango wana, soki moto azali kati na Klisto, akomi ekelamu ya sika: makambo ya kala eleki, mpe makambo ya sika eyei.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Makambo oyo nyonso ewutaka na Nzambe oyo azongisaki boyokani kati na biso mpe Ye moko na nzela ya Klisto mpe apesaki biso lotomo ya boyokanisi.
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Pamba te, kati na Klisto, Nzambe azalaki kozongisa boyokani kati na bato mpe Ye moko, na kotala masumu na bango te. Mpe atiaki kati na biso liloba ya boyokanisi.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Yango wana, mpo na Klisto, tozali bantoma, lokola nde Nzambe azali kolendisa bato na nzela na biso: « Na Kombo ya Klisto, tozali kosenga na bino ete bozongisa boyokani na bino elongo na Nzambe.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Ye oyo atikalaki kozala na lisumu te, Nzambe akomisaki Ye lisumu mpo na biso, mpo ete tokoma bosembo ya Nzambe kati na Ye. »
