2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that, if our earthly tent-habitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Pakuŵa tuimanyi yakuti chiilu chetu cha paasi pano chili mpela lisakasa lyalikukomboleka konasikwa, ni chajonasikwaga, Akunnungu chachitupa chiilu chachili mpela nyuumba kwinani, nyuumba jangataŵikwa ni makono ga ŵandu nambo jitaŵikwe ni Akunnungu nsyene ni jichijitame moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
2 For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven;
Ni sambano mutukutama mu tukuwuwula akuno tuchilolelaga kwakulajila kwannope kupata chiilu chetu cha kwinani.
3 since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked.
Pakuŵa twamalaga kupegwa chiilu cha kwinani ngatulolechela sooni nganitukola chiilu.
4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
Twaŵaga chiŵela mu chiilu chi chachili mpela lisakasa lya pachilambo tukuwuwula ni kutopelwa pakuŵa ngatukusaka kuchileka chiilu chi chachikuwa, nambo tukusaka kupegwa chiilu cha kwinani kuti chiilu chachikuwa chigalauswe ni umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi.
5 Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.
Akunnungu nsyene ni ŵatukolochesye indu yi, nombewo ni ŵatupele Mbumu jwakwe aŵeje poni ja indu yose yatugosele.
6 We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Nipele katema kose tukulimbiswa mitima, sooni tukumanyilila kuti katema katukuŵa mchiilu chi, tukutama kwakutalika ni Ambuje.
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage,
Pakuŵa tukutama kwa chikulupi ngaŵa kwa yatukuiwona pe.
8 and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
Nambo tukulimba mitima ni ikaliji mbaya tuchileche chiilu chi ni kwaula kukutama pamo ni Ambuje.
9 Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by him.
Nambo chindu chachili chambone kupunda yose, chili kwanonyelesya Ambuje tuli mu iilu ya pachilambo pano pane tuli mu iilu ya kwinani.
10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.
Kwayele uweji wose tukusachilwa tujime paujo pa Kilisito ni kulamulikwa kuti mundu jwalijose apochele nti iŵatite pa kupanganya paŵaliji pachilambo, iŵaga yambone pane yangali mate.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope have been made manifest in your consciences also.
Nipele, tukugamanyilila malumbo ga kwajogopa Ambuje kwayele tukuchalila kwachisya ŵandu. Akunnungu akutumanyilila uchenene, noneji ngwete chilolelo chakuti ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe nkutumanyilila uchenene.
12 For we are not again commending ourselves to you, but giving you occasion to glory on our behalf; that ye may have somewhat to answer those who glory in outward appearance, and not in heart.
Uweji ngatukulilapa sooni twachinsyene paujo penu nambo tukusaka kumpa ŵanyamwe ligongo lya kulilapa kwaligongo lyetuwe kuti mpakombole kwajanga ŵakulilapa kwa indu yaikuwoneka ni ngaŵa kwa indu ya muntima.
13 For whether we were beside ourselves, it was for God; or whether we are in our sound mind, it is for you.
Iŵaga tukulolechela ŵaapugwe, tuli ŵaapugwe kwaligongo lya kwanonyelesya Akunnungu, ni iŵaga tukwete umanyilisi wambone, yeleyo ili kwa liwamba lyenu.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judged, that if one died for all, then all died;
Pakuŵa unonyelo wa Kilisito ukutulongosya, sambano tukumanyilila kuti mundu jumo pe ni juŵawile ligongo lya ŵandu wose, nipele ŵandu wose tuwile pamo nawo.
15 and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for their sakes, and rose again.
Nombewo ŵawile ligongo lya ŵandu wose, kuti ŵandu ŵaali ŵajumi anaŵe ŵajumi sooni kwa kulinonyelesya achinsyene, nambo kwakwanonyelesya ŵelewo uŵawile ni kusyuka kwa liwamba lya ŵanyawo.
16 So that we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; and if we have even known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we no longer know him.
Kwayele chitandilile sambano ni kwendelechela ngatukumpima mundu jwalijose kwa lunda lwa chiundu. Namuno twampimile Kilisito kwa lunda lwa chiundu, nambo sambano ngatukutenda yeleyo sooni.
17 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Iŵele kuti mundu aŵaga munkati mwa Kilisito apanganikwe mundu jwasambano ni yakalakala ipiite, nnole, itendekwe yasambano.
18 And all things are from God, who reconciled us to himself by Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Ayiyi yose ikutyochela kwa Akunnungu ŵatujilenye ni nsyene kwalitala lya chiwa cha Kilisito, ni ŵatupele masengo ga kwajilanya ŵandu ŵane ni Akunnungu.
19 seeing that in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Welewu uli utenga wetu, Akunnungu ŵaajilenye ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino ni asyene kwalitala lya chiwa cha Kilisito pangaŵalanjila sambi syao. Nombe atupele uweji utenga wa kwilanya.
20 We then are ambassadors for Christ; as though God were exhorting you by us, in behalf of Christ we entreat you, Be reconciled to God.
Nipele, uwe tukuŵecheta pamalo pakwe Kilisito, mpela ila Akunnungu asyene akunchondelela ŵanyamwe kwa kang'wa syetu. Tukunchondelela ŵanyamwe pamalo pakwe Kilisito njilanikwe ni Akunnungu.
21 Him, who knew not sin, he made sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.
Kilisito nganakola sambi nambo kwa liwamba lyetu Akunnungu ŵantesile ajigale sambi syetu kuti kwakulumbikana ni ŵelewo tukombole kuŵa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
