2 Corinthians 5
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Nokuti tinoziva kuti kana imba yedu yenyika yetende ichiputswa, tine chivakwa chinobva kuna Mwari, imba isina kuitwa nemaoko, isingaperi kumatenga. (aiōnios g166)
2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
Nokuti nemune iyi tinogomera, tichishuva kuti tifukidzwe neimba yedu inobva kudenga;
3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
kana nesu takapfekedzwa hatingawanikwi tisina chatakapfeka.
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
Nokuti nesu tiri mutende tinogomera, tichiremerwa; nokuti hatishuvi kukururwa, asi kufukidzwa, kuti chinofa chimedzwe neupenyu.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Zvino wakatigadzirira chinhu ichochi ndiMwari, wakatipawo rubatso rweMweya.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Naizvozvo tine ushingi nguva dzose, tichiziva kuti tichiri kumusha mumuviri, tiri kure naIshe;
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
nokuti tinofamba nerutendo, kwete nekuona;
8 We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
naizvozvo tine ushingi, uye tinofara zvikuru kuti zviri nani kusava pamuviri, uye kuva kumusha naIshe.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
Naizvozvowo tinoedza zvikuru, kana tiri pamusha kana tisiri pamusha, kuti tigamuchirike kwaari.
10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Nokuti tese tinofanira kuonekwa pamberi pechigaro chekutonga chaKristu, kuti umwe neumwe agamuchire zvinhu zvaakaita nemuviri, zvichienderana nezvaakaita, kana zvakanaka kana zvakaipa.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
Naizvozvo tichiziva kutyisa kwaIshe tinonyengetedza vanhu, asi tinoratidzwa kuna Mwari; uye ndine chivimbo kuti tiratidzwewo pahana dzenyu.
12 For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
Nokuti hatizvizivisizve kwamuri, asi tinokupai mukana wekuzvirumbidza nekuda kwedu, kuti mugone kumirisana nevanozvirumbidza pachiso, kwetewo pamoyo.
13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
Nokuti kana tichipenga, tinopenga kuna Mwari; kana tiri vanhu kwavo, tiri kwavo kwamuri.
14 For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
Nokuti rudo rwaKristu rwunotimanikidza, nokuti tinoona izvozvi kuti kana umwe akafira vese, zvino vese vakafa;
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
uye wakafira vese kuti avo vanorarama vachirega kuzozviraramira ivo, asi iye wakavafira nekumukazve.
16 Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
Naizvozvo kubvira ikozvino isu hatizivi munhu panyama; uye kunyange kana takaziva Kristu panyama, asi ikozvino hatichamuzivi saizvozvo.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
Kuti kana munhu ari muna Kristu, wava chisikwa chitsva; zvekare zvapfuura, tarira zvese zvava zvitsva.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Uye zvese zvinobva kuna Mwari, wakatiyananisa naye kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, uye wakatipa shumiro yeyananiso;
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
sezvinonzi Mwari wakange achiyananisa nyika kwaari muna Kristu, asingavaverengeri kudarika kwavo, akaisa kwatiri shoko reyananiso.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Naizvozvo tiri nhume pachinzvimbo chaKristu, Mwari saanenge achikumbirisa nesu; tinokumbirisa pachinzvimbo chaKristu tichiti: Yananiswai naMwari.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Nokuti uyo wakange asingazivi chivi wakamuita chivi pachinzvimbo chedu, kuti isu tive kururama kwaMwari maari.
