2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, 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 verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:
Nkambo muchilawu echi tulalila kapati, kuti tukasamikwe abukalo bwesu bwakujulu.
3 if so be that being clothed 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 for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.
Kasimpe nituchili muchilawu echi tulalila kapati akulemenwa. Tatuyandi pe tukaleke kusamikwa. Pesi, tuyanda kusamikwa kuti echo chifwa chikamenegwe abuumi.
5 Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Watubambila echi chintu nguLeza, wakatupa muuya usalala mbuli chitondezyo cha echo chiyosika.
6 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are 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 of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
Lino tuli akusyomesesya katutali mumibili pele katuli mumunzi aMwami.
9 Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
Lino twita kuti chibe chintulangilila swebo nekuba tuchiliku munzi nekuba katutali nkuko kuti mukamubotezye.
10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
Mbunga toonse tuyoboneka kunembo lyachuno chalubeta chaKkilisito kwitila kuti umwi awumwi utakatambule zilengene azintu zichitwa mumubili na bubotu nekuba bubi.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
Nekuba boobo, kuziba kuyowa Mwami tukombelezya bantu. Kulabonwa kabotu mbutubede aLeza, ndilangilila kuti kulibabo kumanjezezya anu.
12 We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but [speak] as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and 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 are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you.
Na tulizwide mumiyeyo yesu nkukwaLeza; pele na kuti mumiyeyo mibotu nkuyanda kwako.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;
Luyando lwaKkilisito lwatuchunda nkambo twakamanisya echi. Kuti muntu umwi wakafwida boonse aboobo boonse bakafwa.
15 and he died for all, that they which live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.
Wakafwida boonse kuti bapona kabatachiponeni lwabo beni pesi baponene oyo nkambo nkako wakabafwida akubusigwa.
16 Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know [him so] no more.
Ankambo kachechi kuzwa lino kaziya kunembo tatukabwene mumwi mukwinda munyam, nekuba kuti twakali muzi Kkilisito mukwinda munyama. Pesi kwalino tatuchizi.
17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.
Nkikako na umwi uli muli Kkilisito, waba chilenge chipya. Zintu zyachindi zyayinda. Bona zyaba zipya.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;
Ezi nzitu zyoonse zizwa kuliLez, wakatubwedezya mulinguwe lubo mukwinda muliKkilisito akutipa mulimo wakubwedezyanya.
19 to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Nkokuti muli Kkilisito leza unolikubwedezyanya nyika kuli nguwe, kutesi kubala milaka ilatala ambaabo. Unokutupa makani akubweedelana.
20 We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech [you] on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.
Aboobo twakatondekwa mbuli bayimikilila baKkilisito mbuli anga Leza walikuchita kukombelezya mukwinda mulindiswe.”Twamukumbila, ankambo kwakuyanda kwaKkilisito: Amubwedelane aLeza.”
21 Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
Wakamubumba oyo wakalezi chibi kuti abe chibi kulindiswe, kuti tukabe bululami bwaLeza mulinguwe, kuti abe chibi kulindiswe, kuti tukabe bululami bwaLeza mulinguwe.
