2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if our tent — that earthly body which is now our home — is taken down, we have a house of God’s building, a home not made by hands, imperishable, in Heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Tuh kut etu lah ke manosr fin faclu ac fah musalla, su oana sie lohm nuknuk, oasr lohm sesr inkusrao su tia musa ke poun mwet a musaiyukla sin God, ac lohm se inge fah oan ma pahtpat. (aiōnios g166)
2 Even while in our present body we sigh, longing to put over it our heavenly dwelling,
Ac inge kut sasao ke sripen kut arulana ke utyak nu in lohm sesr inkusrao.
3 sure that, when we have put it on, we shall never be found discarnate.
Na ke kut ac muta loac, oana kut in nuknukyang kac ac kut tila koflufol.
4 For we who are in this ‘tent’ sigh under our burden, unwilling to take it off, yet wishing to put our heavenly body over it, so that all that is mortal may be absorbed in Life.
Ke kut muta in lohm nuknuk sesr faclu, kut sasao ke ma upa su toankuti; tia mweyen kut lungse sisla mano lasr fin faclu, a mweyen kut kena tari eis mano lasr inkusrao, tuh ma su moul in kutangla misa.
5 And he who has prepared us for this change is God, who has also given us his Spirit as a pledge.
God pa akoekutla nu ke ekla se inge, ac El ase nu sesr Ngun lal in mwe akpwayei ke ma nukewa su El akoela nu sesr.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while our home is in the body, we are absent from our home with the Lord.
Ouinge kut arulana pulaik in pacl nukewa. Kut etu lah lusen na pacl kut oasr in mano lasr fin faclu, kut srakna loesla nu ke lohm sin Leum.
7 For we guide our lives by faith, and not by what we see.
Tuh kut moul ke ma kut lulalfongi, tia ke ma kut liye.
8 And in this confidence we would gladly leave our home in the body, and make our home with the Lord.
Nga sifilpa fahk, kut arulana pulaik ac kena yohk in fahsr liki mano lasr faclu ac som nu yen sesr yurin Leum.
9 Therefore, whether in our home or absent from our home, our one ambition is to please him.
Tusruktu ma se ma yohk sripa oemeet uh pa kut kena akinsewowoyal, finne in acn sesr inge, ku in kusrao.
10 For at the Bar of the Christ we must all appear in our true characters, that each may reap the results of the life which he has lived in the body, in accordance with his actions — whether good or worthless.
Tuh kut nukewa fah tu ye mutun Christ in nununkeyuk sel. Kais sie sesr fah eis molin orekma lal ke el moul in mano, fal nu ke ma nukewa el oru, finne wo ku koluk.
11 Therefore, because we know the fear inspired by the Lord, it is true that we are trying to win men, but our motives are plain to God; and I hope that in your inmost hearts they are plain to you also.
Kut etu lah mea kalmen sangeng sin Leum, ouinge kut srike in pwanma mwet ngia. God El etu ma nukewa kacsr, ac nga finsrak mu nunak na pwaye lowos in arulana eteyu pac.
12 We are not “commending ourselves” again to you, but rather are giving you cause for pride in us, so that you may have an answer ready for those who pride themselves on appearances and not on character.
Kut tia srike in sifil yukin kut sifacna nu suwos; a kut srike in asot sie sripa wo ma kowos ac ku in konkin kacsr, tuh kowos fah ku in topkolos su konkin ke lumah lun mwet se, ac tia ke elahl.
13 For, if we were “beside ourselves,” it was in God’s service! If we are not in our senses, it is in yours!
Ya pwaye mwet uh fahk mu kut wel? Fin pwaye, kut wel nu sin God. A kut fin etekut na, ma ke sripowos.
14 It is the love of the Christ which compels us, when we reflect that, as one died for all, therefore all died;
Inge, lungse lun Christ pa leum facsr, ke kut akilen lah sie mwet el misa ke mwet nukewa, su kalmac pa mwet nukewa wi ipeis ke misa lal.
15 and that he died for all, so that the living should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died and rose for them.
El misa ke mwet nukewa, tuh elos su moul fah tia moul nu selos sifacna, a nu sel su misa ac akmoulyeyukyak kaclos.
16 For ourselves, then, from this time forward, we refuse to regard any one from the world’s standpoint. Even if we once thought of Christ from the standpoint of the world, yet now we do so no longer.
Ke ma inge, kut tia sifilpa nunku ke kutena mwet fal nu ke liye lun mwet uh. Meet, kut tuh nunku kacl Christ fal nu ke liye lun mwet uh, a inge kut tia sifilpa oru.
17 Therefore, if any one is in union with Christ, he is a new being! His old life has passed away; a new life has begun!
Ke sie mwet el kupasryang nu sin Christ, el sie mwet sasu; ma matu wanginla, ac ma sasu tuku.
18 But all this is the work of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave us the Ministry of Reconciliation —
Ma inge nukewa oakwuk sin God, su, ke Christ, ikilkutla liki mwet lokoalok nu ke mwet kawuk lal, ac El ase nu sesr kunokon se inge, in oru tuh mwet ngia in mwet kawuk pac lal.
19 To proclaim that God, in Christ, was reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning men’s offences against them, and that he had entrusted us with the Message of this reconciliation.
Pweng ma kut sulkakin uh pa inge: God El oru tuh mwet nukewa in mwet kawuk lal ke Christ. God El tia oakla ma koluk lalos, ac El akkalemye nu sesr ouiya se ma El oru tuh elos in mwet kawuk lal.
20 It is, then, on Christ’s behalf that we are acting as ambassadors, God, as it were, appealing to you through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf — Be reconciled to God.
Ke ma inge, kut mwet in tafwema kas lun Christ, oana in God pa sifacna sensenkakin kowos ke mwe luti lasr. Kut kwafe suwos ke inen Christ: lela God Elan ikilkowosla liki mwet lokoalok nu ke mwet kawuk lal!
21 Him who never knew sin God made to be Sin, on our behalf; so that we, through union with him, might become the Righteousness of God.
Wangin ma koluk lun Christ, a ke sripasr God El oru tuh elan ipeis ke ma koluk lasr, tuh ke kut kupasryang nu sel kut ku in ipeis ke suwoswos lun God.
