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)
Tutangite panga kati maskani ga ulimwengu ambayo twatama umo yaharibika, tubile ni lijengo boka kwa Nnongo. Ni nyumba ichengwite kwa maboko ya bandu, ila ni nyumba yangayomoka, katika maunde. (aiōnios g166)
2 For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
Kwa kuwa katika lihema lee twaugua twatamaniya kuvikwa kwa maskani yitu kumaunde.
3 since, after we have put it on, we will not be found naked.
Twatamaniya kwa ajili ya yee kwa sababu kwa kuiwala twalowa bonekana kwaa kuwa tubile ntopo ngobo.
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.
Kwa hakiaka muda tubile nkati ya hema lee, twaugua mana tukilemewa. Tupala kwaa kuvuliwa. Badala yake, twapala kuwalishwa, ili panga chelo chawaa ili kiweze mezwa ni ukoto.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Yolo ywatuandaa twenga kwa kilebe chelo ni Nnongo, ambaye ywatupeile twenga Roho kati ahadi ya chelo chalowa isa.
6 Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Kwa eyo mube ni ujasiri masoba gote. Mube minyo panga wakati tubile munyumba katika yega, tubile kutalu na Ngwana.
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Kwa kuwa twatyanga kwa imani, kwa lolekea kwaa. Kwa eyo tubile ni ujasiri.
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.
Ni bora tube kutalu mu'yega ni nyumba pamope ni Ngwana.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
Kwa eyo twaipanga kuwa lengo letu, mana tukiwa mu'nyumba au kutalu, tumpendeze ywembe.
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.
Kwa kuwa lazima bote tubonekane nnongi ya iteo cha hukumu cha Kristo, ili panga kila yumo aweze pokya chelo chastahili kwa makowe gapangika katika yega, mana itei ni kwa uzuri au kwa ubaya.
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.
Kwa eyo, kwa kuitanga hofu ya Ngwana, twaashawishi bandu. Mana yatubile, ibonekana wazi ni Nnongo. Nendatumainiya kuwa itangike pia mu'dhamiri yinu.
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.
Twajaribu kwaa kuashawishi mwenga kae kutubona twenga kati wa kweli. Badala yake, twaapeya mwenga sababu ya kuipunia kwa ajili yitu, ili panga muweze kuwa na jibu kwa balo baipunia kuhusu ya ibonekana lakini ibile kwaa chabile nkati ya mwoyo.
13 For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, it is for you.
Kwa kuwa mana itei tumerukwa na malango, ni kwa ajili ya Nnongo. Na kati tubile mu'akili yitu timamu, ni kwa ajili yinu.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
Kwa mana upendo wa Kristo watushurutisha, kwa sababu tubile na uhakika ni lee: kuwa mundu yumo atiwaa kwa ajili ya bote, na kwa eyo bote batiwaa.
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.
Na Kristo atiwaa kwa ajili ya bote, ili panga bale batama batame kwaa kae kwa ajili yabe bene. Badala yake, lazima utama kwa ajili yake ywembe ambaye atiwaa ni fufuliwa.
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.
Kwa sababu yee, kuanzia nambeambe ni kuyendelea tumuhukumu kwaa mundu lingana na viwango vya bandu, ingawa hapo kwanza twatimlola Kristo katika namna yee. Lakini nambeambe twamuhukumu kwaa yeyote kwa namna yee kae.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
Kwa eyo, mana itei mundu yoyote abile nkati ya Kristo, ywembe ni kiumbe chaayambe. Makowe ya kale yatipeta. Linga, gabile gaayambe.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Ilebe yote yee yatiboka kwa Nnongo. Ywatupanisha twenga kwake mwene pitya Kristo, na atupile huduma ya upatanisho.
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.
Nga nyoo ni baya, katika Kristo, Nnongo atiupatanisha ulimwengu kwake mwene, bila balangana makosa gabe dhidi yabe. Atiwekeza kwitu ujumbe wa upatanisho.
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.
Kwa nyoo twasauliwa kati bawakilishi ba Kristo, kati panga Nnongo abile apanga rufaa yake pitya twenga. Twaaloba mwenga kwa ajili ya Kristo: “Mpatanishwe kwa Nnongo!”
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.
Ampangite Kristo kuwa sadaka kwa ajili ya sambi yitu. Ywembe nga ambaye apangite kwaa sambi. Apangite nyoo ili tuweze kupangika haki ya Nnongo katika ywembe.
