2 Makorinte 5
1 Twizi kuti mubili we nkanda mutuhala hausinyeha, twina muzako kuzwa kwa Ireeza. Izuvo isa pangitwe cha mayaza abantu, kono i zuvo isamani, mwi wulu. (aiōnios g166)
For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Mi mweli tete tu tonga, tu shukelwa ku zwatikwa chizwato cha kwiwulu.
For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen.
3 Tushukelwa i chi chitu mukuti hatu chizwata kete tu wanike kuti katu zwete.
Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked.
4 Cha kwizula ni twina mweli itete, tu tonga, ni mubukabo. Katu saki kwi kala ni tusazwete. Kuhita, tusaka kuzwata, ili kutu chisafwi chi miniwe buhalo.
For in deede we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpon, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of life.
5 I ye yaba tu lukisezi ichi chitu nji Ireeza, ya batuhi Luhuho ili kuti ibe bupaki bwa chikeza.
And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Nihakuba bulyo twina ni kuba ni nsepo. Twina ni kwiziba kuti heti twina ku munzi mu mibili, tuzwa kwa Simwine.
Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord.
7 Mi tuyenda chetumelo, isini cha chi voneka.
(For we walke by faith, and not by sight.)
8 Mi twina insepo. Tu swanela kuzwa mu mubili ni kukava kumunzi ni Simwine.
Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
9 Linu tu panga chi kokwani chetu, kapa twina kumunzi kapa hanze, ku musangisa.
Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him.
10 Mi twense tu swanena ku boneka habusu bwa chipula che inkatulo cha Keresite, I li kuti zumwi ni zumwi a tambule chitu chaba pangi mu mubili, kapa kubu lotu kapa ku bubi.
For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or euill.
11 Niha kuba vulyo, kwi ziba kutiza kwe Simwine, tu susuweza vantu. Mutwi kalile tu bonwa kwa Ireeza. Ni sepa kuti zonse zizuwekete kwi zwalo lyenu.
Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
12 Ka tuliki kumi susuweza kuti mutu bone kuti tusepahala. Kuhita, tumiha ibaka lya kuli kumusa chetu, ili kuti ube ni kalabo kwabo bali kulitemba cha ziboneka isini zina mwi nkulo.
For we prayse not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue to answere against them, which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart.
13 Mi heba tuzwile mu mihupulo yetu, njiza Ireeza. Mi haiba twina mu mihupulo yetu ishiyeme, nji kwako.
For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you.
14 Mi ilato lya Keresite litu susuweza, ka kuti tuli kolwisisa kechi: kuti muntu yeke aba fwili vonse, mi niha kuba bulyo vonse linu ba bafwi.
For that loue of Christ constraineth vs,
15 Imi Keresite ava fwili vonse, ili kuti avo bense bahala kazi bahali lwabo, niha kuba vulyo, bahale ka lwakwe iye ya vafwi ni kuvuka.
Because we thus iudge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which liue, shoulde not henceforth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe.
16 Che libaka, kuzwa hanu kutwala oko katu nyansa muntu kuya ka chizimo cha buntu, niha kuba bulyo naswe mutu bali kuhindila Keresite mwei nzila. Kono hanu katu sinyansi bamwi cheyi nzila ni kamuta.
Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more.
17 Niha kuba bulyo, haiva zumwi wina mwa Keresite, chibumbatu chihya, zintu za kale ziba mani. Mubone, chiba ba sanduki bahya.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe.
18 Zonse izi zintu zizwa kwa Ireeza. Aba tubonzi kwali cha Keresite, imi aba tuhi ikolo lya ku bolisana inkulo.
And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation.
19 I li kuti, mwa Keresite Ireeza ukwete u bozekeza ikanda kwali, nasa ba balili milandu yavo. U kwete utuha iñusa lya kubozisana inkulo.
For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himselfe, not imputing their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the word of reconciliation.
20 Tubasalwa kuti tube bazimanini ba Keresite, ubu Ireeza abali kuli zibahaza chetu. Tu likumbilila nanwe, che baka lya Keresite: “Mubole kwa Ireeza.
Now then are we ambassadours for Christ: as though God did beseeche you through vs, we pray you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled to God.
21 Aba chiti Keresite kuti ibe chitabelo chetu kechibi. Nji yena ya sena ba tendi chibi. Aba tendi izi kuti tube ba shiyeme kwa Ireeza mwali.
For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, which knewe no sinne, that we should be made the righteousnesse of God in him.
