2 Corinthians 5
1 We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Tiyiru ninaa na ti susin ku nanya yii ulele ima da pucu niining, tidi nin nilari kiti Kutelle nanya na acaramnit na kyee ba, barannani nin lisosin sa lingang nanya tkitene kane. (aiōnios g166)
2 [While we are here on earth, we suffer]. We often groan because we desire [to go] to heaven [where God] will give us our new [bodies] [MET].
na nanya kudanga kone tidin gbulu, ncaa ida kirum nari nin nilari Ketene kane.
3 When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
nani tiwa yita suwe nanin bara na tiwa soo asere ba.
4 [It is true that] while we are still living in these bodies [MET] [that do not last forever], we often groan [DOU] [because we desire to be free from them]. We are not longing to be without a body. Instead, [we groan because] we desire to receive our new bodies [MET] in heaven. We long for this to happen so that these bodies that are going to die some day will suddenly be changed [into bodies] that will live [forever].
Kidegene tiwa di nanya kudanga kune tiama gbulu bara nati iserengh, nao tidinin su tiso Iseere ba, bara na tidin nin su ikiru narriari, bara imun ile na nidowo wa ni yauna nin lai
5 It is God himself who has prepared us to [receive] these [new bodies]. He is also the one who has guaranteed/assured us [(inc)] that this will happen. He has guaranteed it by sending his Spirit [to live inside us now].
Ame ule na adi ke nari bara ile imune Kutelle ari. na ana nari nfep nato, alkawali ni mun ile na idin cinu.
6 So, [because God’s Spirit lives in us], we are always confident [that God will give us new bodies]. We know that as long as we have bodies here on [earth], we are not yet [living together] with the Lord [Jesus in heaven].
nani vat kubi yitan nin nayi akune yinong ti wwa di kitari nanya kudowo, tidi piit nin cefe.
7 While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
na tidin cin nin yinu sa uyen, nanin yenjunari, ba.
8 [As I said], we [(exc)] are confident [that he will give us new bodies]. We [(exc)] would much prefer to leave these bodies [which we have now], and be with the Lord [Jesus in our] home in [heaven].
Bara nanin ti din nin nay, akune mbara ti yita piit nanya nidowo tiyita kilari nan cif bat.
9 Because of all that, we always want to please [Jesus in everything that we do]. Whether we [(exc)] are [still living] here [in these] bodies or whether we have [left] them and are living in our home [in heaven], we want to please him.
ilele na ti taa inin nbung, kika natiwa di kilari nin libau ti tighe kibinai.
10 [And we need to try hard to do that] because each one of us [believers] must stand before Christ [to be] judged [by him] {[when he will] judge [his people]}. [At that time] he will [reward each one of] us according to what we have done [while we lived in this world] in these bodies. [He will reward us according to] whether we have done good things or whether we have done evil things.
vat bite bin da yisinun bun kutet nin wucun Krist, bara koghe da seru mun ile na idi ime na nanya kidow, sa icininari sa inanzang.
11 It makes me fearful [to think that some day I will stand before the Lord for him to judge me]. So I [do everything that I can to] convince people [that they should believe] (OR, [that I teach] sincerely) [God’s message]. God knows very well [how I conduct my life and what I teach], and I really believe that you know it, too.
, nin yinu fiu ncef ti din yecu anit, imile na tidi Kutelle din yenju imin kanan, idin cisu kibinai nanere idi kanang nanya nibinai mine.
12 Once again [I say, as I write this], I am not just [trying to] make you think well/highly of me, [as some people will probably say that I am]. Instead, I am [telling you in this letter why you have] good reason [to tell those who criticize me] that you think highly of me. [I am telling you this] so that you will know what to say to those [teachers of false doctrine among you]. They are proud [of what they have done], instead of [making sure that] they [are right with God and being pleased with that].
Na tidin ruu ati bite mini tutung ba nanere tidin ni minu udalili na ima foo figiri nin yerik bara inase ukawun nuu na len idin foo figiri nile num na idin yenj, na imun ille na isali kibinai.
13 [Some of them say that after God has enabled me to see visions], I [talk like] a crazy person. If [that is so, I want you to realize that I talk that way in order to please] God. On the other hand, if [you think that] I [speak and act] wisely, [that is good. I want you to know that I do] speak and act wisely in order to [help] you.
Bara nani tiwa nuzu nanya nibinai bite un Kutelle ri tiwa di nanya nibinai bite dert bara anunghere.
14 [I speak and act the way I do] because the love that Christ [has for people] influences me [in everything that I say and do]. When Christ died, [he suffered the punishment] for [the sins of] all people. So, we should all [think of ourselves as having] died with him, [being as unresponsive to sinful desires as] [MET] a corpse is.
Bara nani usun Kristin uluno nari bara nati yina nin nilele, au wasame, nadaku bara vat bit, minnane vat name ku.
15 When [Christ] died for the everyone, he died in order that [we believers who are alive now] should not conduct our lives in a way that will just [please ourselves]. Instead, [we should conduct our lives in a way that will please] Christ, [because] he is the one who died for us and was brought back to life {whom [God] raised} again.
Nin Kristi na da ku bara vat bi, bara ale na bayeti nin la, na i wa yita nin lai natimine ba bara nane na iyita nin lai bara ule na ana da ku amine nafit.
16 So, [because I realize how much Christ loves everyone], I no longer think about people in the way that those who do not believe [in Christ] think about [them]. Before I [was a believer], I thought about Christ in the way that other non-believers did. But I do not think of him that way any more.
Bara nnani ule udalili nt, uyeru nene udu ubun nati ba wucu umon bara uyiru nit ba koda shilka nkon kabi tiwa yiri Kristi nanya nleli udun. Bara nani na tima kuru ti wucu umong nloli libauwe tutung ba.
17 The fact is that God makes every one [of us] who [trusts] in Christ to be completely different [than we were before]. Our old [way of conducting our lives] is gone. We now have a [completely] new way of [conducting our lives].
Nin nane vat nle na adi nanya Krist, ame uke upeseri imun ikuse na malu kat, yeneng imun ipesere di nanya me nene
18 This [complete change in our lives] is all something that God [does]. It is God who made it possible for us to have a peaceful relationship with him. [He was able to do that] because of what Christ [did for us]. Now God [has sent] me, and those [who work] with me, to tell [people that they] can have a peaceful relationship with him.
Imon vat unuzu Kutelleri ule na adin pitiru nari udu litime nanya Krist, amini na ninari kataa pitiure.
19 That is, [he sent us(exc) to tell them that] when Christ [died], God was [making it possible for everyone] [MTY] in the world to have a peaceful relationship with him. He no longer keeps a record of the sinful things that [we believers] have done. The message that [God] has given to us [to tell people is how we can have a] peaceful relationship with him.
Nafo nanin nanya Kristi Kutelle din pitiru uye udu litim, na adin batizu utursu nalapi ba nin nizu nari pitiru na cara bite.
20 So, it is I and my companions who are Christ’s representatives [in this world. When we tell people the message about Christ], it is God himself who is pleading with them by means of what we [say]. So, as true representatives of Christ, we plead with you: [Believe God’s true message about Christ in order that you may] be reconciled to {have a peaceful relationship with} him.
Nani ina fere nari mmadadin Krist, nafo Kutelle wadin foo nacara b, bara Kristi; “Kelinen ni nKutelle.”
21 [You must believe that even though] Jesus never sinned, God [punished him for all the] sinful things [that people do, just] as [if Jesus had done those sinful things himself]. And because of our close relationship with Christ, God has erased the record of our sins/declared us no longer guilty for our sins.
Kristi ku aso uhadaya kulapi bite ule na ana ti kulapi b, bara nanya Kristi ti ba so anit alau kiti Kutelle.
