2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if this poor tent, our earthly house, is taken down, we have in Heaven a building which God has provided, a house not built by human hands, but eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Kubanga tumanyi ng’ennyumba yaffe ey’ensiisira ey’oku nsi bw’erisaanyizibwawo, tulina ennyumba okuva eri Katonda, ennyumba etaakolebwa na mikono, ey’olubeerera ey’omu ggulu. (aiōnios g166)
2 For in this one we sigh, because we long to put on over it our dwelling which comes from Heaven--
Kubanga tusindira mu nnyumba eno, nga twegomba okwambazibwa ennyumba yaffe eriva mu ggulu.
3 if indeed having really put on a robe we shall not be found to be unclothed.
Kubanga bwe tulyambazibwa, tetulisangibwa nga tuli bwereere.
4 Yes, we who are in this tent certainly do sigh under our burdens, for we do not wish to lay aside that with which we are now clothed, but to put on more, so that our mortality may be absorbed in Life.
Kubanga ffe abali mu nsiisira eno tusinda, nga tuzitoowererwa, nga tetwagala kusangibwa nga tetwambadde, wabula nga twambadde, omubiri ogufa gumiribwe obulamu.
5 And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss.
Oyo eyatuteekerateekera ekintu ekyo kyennyini ye Katonda oyo eyatuwa amazima g’Omwoyo.
6 We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord;
Noolwekyo tulina obwesige bulijjo nga tumanyi nti bwe tuba mu mubiri guno, tetuba waffe, olwo nga tetuli na Mukama waffe.
7 for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight.
Kubanga tutambula lwa kukkiriza so si lw’amaaso gaffe bye galaba.
8 So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord.
Noolwekyo tuli bagumu era tuli basanyufu, wakiri okuva mu mibiri guno ne tubeera ewaffe mu ggulu ne Mukama waffe.
9 And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.
Noolwekyo kyetuva tunoonya oba nga tuli ewaffe oba nga tetuli waffe, tumusanyuse.
10 For we must all of us appear before Christ's judgement-seat in our true characters, in order that each may then receive an award for his actions in this life, in accordance with what he has done, whether it be good or whether it be worthless.
Kubanga ffe ffenna kitugwanira okulabika mu maaso g’entebe ya Kristo ey’okusalirako omusango, buli muntu asalirwe olw’ebyo bye yakola ng’akyali mulamu, okusinziira ku ebyo bye yakola oba birungi oba bibi.
11 Therefore, because we realize how greatly the Lord is to be feared, we are endeavouring to win men over, and God recognizes what our motives are, and I hope that you, in your hearts, recognize them too.
Noolwekyo bwe tumanya entiisa ya Katonda, kyetuva tukola obutaweera okuleeta abantu eri Kristo, era kye tuli kimanyiddwa eri Katonda, era nsuubira nga bwe kiri ne mu mitima gyammwe.
12 We are not again commending ourselves to your favour, but are furnishing you with a ground of boasting on our behalf, so that you may have a reply ready for those with whom superficial appearances are everything and sincerity of heart counts for nothing.
Tetugezaako kuddamu kubeenyumiririzaako, naye tubawa omukisa okwenyumiriza ku lwaffe, musobole okuba n’eky’okuddamu abo ababeewaanirako kyokka nga mu mitima gyabwe si ba mazima.
13 For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.
Bwe tuwulikika ng’abagudde eddalu olw’ebyo bye tweyogerako, tukikoze ku bwammwe.
14 For the love of Christ overmasters us, the conclusion at which we have arrived being this--that One having died for all, His death was their death,
Kubanga okwagala kwa Katonda kutuwaliriza, ng’omu bwe yafiirira bonna, bonna kyebaava bafa.
15 and that He died for all in order that the living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them and rose again.
Yafiirira abantu bonna; abalamu balemenga okubeera abalamu ku bwabwe bokka, wabula ku bw’oyo eyabafiirira era n’azuukira,
16 Therefore for the future we know no one simply as a man. Even if we have known Christ as a man, yet now we do so no longer.
okuva kaakano, tuleme okumanya omuntu yenna mu mubiri, bwe tuba nga ddala twamanya Kristo mu mubiri. Naye kaakano tetukyamumanyi bwe tutyo.
17 So that if any one is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old state of things has passed away; a new state of things has come into existence.
Noolwekyo omuntu yenna bw’abeera mu Kristo, aba kitonde kiggya; eby’edda nga bigenze, laba ng’afuuse muggya.
18 And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and has appointed us to serve in the ministry of reconciliation.
Ebintu byonna biva eri Katonda eyatukomyawo gy’ali nga tuyita mu Kristo, era ne tuweebwa obuweereza obw’okutabaganya.
19 We are to tell how God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not charging men's transgressions to their account, and that He has entrusted to us the Message of this reconciliation.
Kubanga Katonda yali mu Kristo, ng’atabagana n’abantu, nga tababalira, bibi byabwe, n’atuteresa ffe obubaka obw’okutabaganya.
20 On Christ's behalf therefore we come as ambassadors, God, as it were, making entreaty through our lips: we, on Christ's behalf, beseech men to be reconciled to God.
Noolwekyo ku bwa Kristo tuli babaka, era Katonda atuma ffe okwogera nammwe. Kyetuva tubeegayirira, ku bwa Kristo, mutabagane ne Katonda.
21 He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
Kubanga oyo ataamanya kibi, yafuuka ekibi ku lwaffe, tulyoke tufune obutuukirivu obuva eri Katonda mu Yesu.
