2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of 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 in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our house 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 we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not because we would be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality might be swallowed up in life.
Kasimpe nituchili muchilawu echi tulalila kapati akulemenwa. Tatuyandi pe tukaleke kusamikwa. Pesi, tuyanda kusamikwa kuti echo chifwa chikamenegwe abuumi.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for this same thing [is] God, who also hath given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
Watubambila echi chintu nguLeza, wakatupa muuya usalala mbuli chitondezyo cha echo chiyosika.
6 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, while 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 confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Lino tuli akusyomesesya katutali mumibili pele katuli mumunzi aMwami.
9 Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted by him.
Lino twita kuti chibe chintulangilila swebo nekuba tuchiliku munzi nekuba katutali nkuko kuti mukamubotezye.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to what he hath done, whether 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 terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest to God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Nekuba boobo, kuziba kuyowa Mwami tukombelezya bantu. Kulabonwa kabotu mbutubede aLeza, ndilangilila kuti kulibabo kumanjezezya anu.
12 For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to [answer] them who 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] to God: or whether we are sober, [it is] for your cause.
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 if one died for all, then were all dead:
Luyando lwaKkilisito lwatuchunda nkambo twakamanisya echi. Kuti muntu umwi wakafwida boonse aboobo boonse bakafwa.
15 And [that] he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.
Wakafwida boonse kuti bapona kabatachiponeni lwabo beni pesi baponene oyo nkambo nkako wakabafwida akubusigwa.
16 Wherefore henceforth we know no man according to the flesh: though indeed we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know [him] no more.
Ankambo kachechi kuzwa lino kaziya kunembo tatukabwene mumwi mukwinda munyam, nekuba kuti twakali muzi Kkilisito mukwinda munyama. Pesi kwalino tatuchizi.
17 Therefore, if any man [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Nkikako na umwi uli muli Kkilisito, waba chilenge chipya. Zintu zyachindi zyayinda. Bona zyaba zipya.
18 And all things [are] from God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to 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 to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Nkokuti muli Kkilisito leza unolikubwedezyanya nyika kuli nguwe, kutesi kubala milaka ilatala ambaabo. Unokutupa makani akubweedelana.
20 Now then we are embassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Aboobo twakatondekwa mbuli bayimikilila baKkilisito mbuli anga Leza walikuchita kukombelezya mukwinda mulindiswe.”Twamukumbila, ankambo kwakuyanda kwaKkilisito: Amubwedelane aLeza.”
21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made 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.
