2 Ndị Kọrint 5
1 Nʼihi na anyị ma nke ọma na mgbe e mebiri ụlọ ikwu nke anyị bi nʼime ya, bụ ụlọ nke ụwa a, anyị nwere ụlọ nke sitere na Chineke, ụlọ nke ejighị aka wuo, ga-adị ebighị ebi nʼeluigwe. (aiōnios g166)
For we know that, if our house on earth-this of the body, were dissolved, yet we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
2 Ugbu a anyị nọ na-asụ ude, na-enwe agụụ inweta ebe obibi anyị dị nʼeluigwe.
And on this account also, we groan, and wish to be clothed with our house from heaven:
3 Ka ọ ga-abụ anyị yiri ya, ka anyị hapụ ịdị ka ndị gba ọtọ.
if indeed, when clothed, we shall not be found naked.
4 Mgbe ahụ niile anyị nọ nʼime ụlọ ikwu a, anyị na-anọgide nʼịsụ ude nke ibu arọ. Ọ bụghị nʼihi na anyị chọrọ ịnwụ anwụ bụrụ ndị na-enweghị anụ ahụ, kama ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị chọrọ ka e yikwasị anyị anụ ahụ nke eluigwe ahụ, ka anụ ahụ a pụrụ ịnwụ anwụ yikwasị ndụ ebighị ebi.
For while we are here in this house, we groan under its burden; yet ye desire, not to throw it off; but to be clothed over it, so that its mortality may be absorbed in life.
5 Chineke onye ya onwe ya, bụ onye kwadobere anyị maka mgbanwo nke a, nyekwara anyị Mmụọ Nsọ ka ọ bụrụ onye ga-ahụ na anyị ga-enwetazu nkwa ahụ niile.
And he that prepareth us for this thing, is God: who hath given us the earnest of his Spirit.
6 Nʼihi nke a, anyị nwere obi ike mgbe niile, nʼihi na anyị maara na mgbe anyị na-aga nʼihu na-adị ndụ nʼanụ ahụ a, anyị na Onyenwe anyị anọghị.
Therefore, because we know and are persuaded, that while we lodge in the body we sojourn away from our Lord;
7 Nʼihi ọ bụ okwukwe ka anyị ji adị ndụ ọ bụghị ihe anya hụrụ.
(for we walk by faith, and not by sight; )
8 Obi siri anyị ike. Ọ gaara amasị anyị ịhapụ ụlọ nke a anyị bi na ya, bụ ahụ anyị ma lakwuru Onyenwe anyị nʼebe obibi ya.
therefore we are confident, and desirous to be away from the body, and to be with our Lord.
9 Ya mere, ma anyị nọ nʼụlọ a maọbụ nʼọzọ, ihe anyị chọrọ bụ ka anyị mee ihe ga-atọ ya ụtọ.
We are assiduous, that whether we are absent, or whether at home, we may please him.
10 Nʼihi na anyị niile ga-eguzo nʼihu oche ikpe Kraịst, mgbe ahụ onye ọbụla nʼime anyị, nʼotu nʼotu, ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ dịka ihe ọ rụrụ na-anụ ahụ ya mgbe ọ nọ nʼime ụwa si dị, maọbụ ezi ihe maọbụ ihe ọjọọ.
For we are all to stand before the judgment-seat of the Messiah, that each may receive retribution in the body, for what he hath done in it, whether of good, or whether of evil.
11 Ọ bụ nʼihi na anyị maara nnọọ ihe ịtụ egwu Onyenwe anyị pụtara, ka anyị ji na-arụsị ọrụ ike ka ndị mmadụ mata Chineke makwaara ụdị mmadụ anyị bụ. Enwekwara m olileanya na nke a pụtara ihe nye akọnuche unu.
Therefore because we know the fear of our Lord we persuade men; and we are made manifest unto God; and I hope also, we are made manifest to your minds.
12 Anyị adịghị agbalị ịgwa unu na anyị dị mma, kama anyị chọrọ inye unu ihe unu ga-eji nyaa isi mgbe unu na-ekwu ihe banyere anyị, ka unu nwee ike ịmata ihe unu ga-azaghachi ndị ahụ na-anya isi banyere ihe ha ji anya ha hụ, kama ihe dị mmadụ nʼobi.
We do not again laud ourselves to you; but we give you occasion to glory in us, to them who glory in appearance and not in heart.
13 Ọ bụrụ na anyị amaghị onwe anyị, ọ bụ nʼihi Chineke, ọ bụrụ na anyị nwere uche zuruoke, ọ bụ nʼihi unu.
For if we are extravagant, it is for God: and if we are discreet, it is for you.
14 Ọ bụ ịhụnanya Kraịst na-akwagide anyị, nʼihi na anyị kwere na otu onye nwụrụ maka mmadụ niile, nke pụtara na mmadụ niile anwụọla.
For the love of the Messiah constraineth us to reason thus: One died for all; therefore are all dead.
15 Ọ nwụrụ nʼihi mmadụ niile, ka ndị dị ndụ gharakwa ịdịrị onwe ha ndụ ọzọ, kama maka onye ahụ nwụrụ nʼihi ha ma sikwa nʼọnwụ kulie.
And he died for all, that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who died for them and rose again.
16 Bido ugbu a gawa, anyị adịghị elekwa onye ọbụla anya dịka mmadụ nkịtị. Nʼihi na anyị sitere nʼụzọ dị otu a lee Kraịst anya, chee na ọ bụ mmadụ efu. Ma ugbu a, anyị amakwaghị ya nʼụzọ dị otu a.
And therefore, we know no person after the flesh: and if we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet henceforth we know him no more.
17 Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla amalite ịdị ndụ nʼime Kraịst, ọ ghọọla onye e kere ọhụrụ, ihe ochie agaala, nke ọhụrụ anọchie.
Whoever therefore is in the Messiah, is a new creature: old things have passed away;
18 Ma ọ bụ Chineke bụ onye na-eme ihe ndị a. Ọ bụ ya onwe ya sitere nʼaka Kraịst mee ka anyị na ya dịrị nʼudo. Ma ugbu a, o nyela anyị ọrụ ije ozi, ịkpọ ndị ọzọ ka ha bịa ka ya na ha dịrịkwa nʼudo.
and all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 Ihe nke a pụtara bụ na Chineke sitere na Kraịst na-eme ka ya na ụwa dị na mma. Ọ dịghị agụkọrọ ụmụ mmadụ mmehie niile, kama o tinyela nʼaka anyị ozi banyere ụzọ o si eme ka ya na ụmụ mmadụ dịkwa na mma ọzọ.
For God was in the Messiah, who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.
20 Ya mere, anyị bụ ndị na-anọchi anya Kraịst ijere ya ozi nʼụwa. Chineke ji anyị na-agwa unu okwu. Anyị na-arịọ unu dịka ọ bụ Kraịst nʼonwe ya na-arịọ unu. Biko, bịanụ ka unu na Chineke dịrị nʼudo.
We are therefore ambassadors for the Messiah, and it is as if God was beseeching you by us. In behalf of the Messiah, therefore, we beseech you, be ye reconciled to God.
21 Nʼihi na o mere ka onye ahụ na-amaghị mmehie bụrụ mmehie nʼọnọdụ anyị, ka esi otu a mee ka anyị nwee oke nʼime ezi omume Chineke site na ya.
For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.
