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)
我们知道，当我们所居住的人间“帐篷”被拆毁，我们就会获得上帝为我们准备的居所，并非人类建造，而是天上永存的居所。 (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].
我们叹息着、如此迫切地渴望能够拥有那天上的住处，就像换上新衣服。
3 When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
当我们穿上这新衣服，就不会再赤身裸体。
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].
我们身处这“帐篷”中哀叹，被今生的苦压垮。与其说我们希望脱去今生之衣，倒不如说我们更期待将要穿上的新衣，这样就可以在这必死之躯中注入生命。
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].
上帝为我们准备了这一切，带来灵保证我们达成这目标。
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].
我们始终保持信心，但知晓一点：当我们安然生活在这肉体之躯中，就远离了主。
7 While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
(因为我们是靠信靠上帝而活，而不是靠看见他而活）。
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].
正如我所说，我们充满信心地期盼着远离这身躯，与主同在。
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.
因此我们立定志向，无论是否住在自己的身体中，都要让主欢喜。
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.
因为最终我们所有人都要现身基督的审判之座面前，然后根据每个人此生所做的一切，或善或恶，接受应得的结果。
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.
我们知道我们尊重主，以此劝勉众人。上帝非常了解我们是谁，我盼望你们的内心也能清楚地知晓自己。
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].
我们并不是再次向你们夸赞自己，只是给予你们让我们骄傲的机会，让你们可以应对那些只看外在、不关注内心之人。
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.
如果我们“疯狂”，那也是为了上帝。如果我们清醒，那是为了你们。
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.
基督的爱督促我们前进，因为我们确定他为众人而死，所以众人现在已经死去。
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.
基督为众人而死，就是为了让他们不再为自己而生，而是要为已经死去、并且死而复活的主而生。
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.
从今以后，我们不再从人的角度看待人。虽然我们曾经以人的角度看待基督，但现在已经不再如此。
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].
所以任何人如果与基督同在，就是一个全新的生命，旧人已去，新人已来！
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.
上帝通过基督改变了我们，让我们不再与他为敌，而是成为朋友。上帝给了我们同样的使命，将他的敌人转变成他的朋友。
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.
通过基督，上帝让这个世界不再与他为敌，而是成为朋友，不再追究他们的罪过，并且告诉了我们化敌为友的道理。
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.
因此，我们就是基督的使者，上帝通过我们劝告世人：“请求你们，难道不希望回归、与上帝为友吗？”
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.
耶稣从未犯下任何罪过，上帝让无罪的他经历罪的后果，让我们可以获得善良正义的性格，因为上帝就是善良正义。
