2 Abakkolinso 5
1 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)
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Kubanga tusindira mu nnyumba eno, nga twegomba okwambazibwa ennyumba yaffe eriva mu ggulu.
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed on with our house which is from heaven:
3 Kubanga bwe tulyambazibwa, tetulisangibwa nga tuli bwereere.
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 Kubanga ffe abali mu nsiisira eno tusinda, nga tuzitoowererwa, nga tetwagala kusangibwa nga tetwambadde, wabula nga twambadde, omubiri ogufa gumiribwe obulamu.
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed on, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Oyo eyatuteekerateekera ekintu ekyo kyennyini ye Katonda oyo eyatuwa amazima g’Omwoyo.
Now he that has worked us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Noolwekyo tulina obwesige bulijjo nga tumanyi nti bwe tuba mu mubiri guno, tetuba waffe, olwo nga tetuli na Mukama waffe.
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 Kubanga tutambula lwa kukkiriza so si lw’amaaso gaffe bye galaba.
(For we walk by faith, not by sight: )
8 Noolwekyo tuli bagumu era tuli basanyufu, wakiri okuva mu mibiri guno ne tubeera ewaffe mu ggulu ne Mukama waffe.
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Noolwekyo kyetuva tunoonya oba nga tuli ewaffe oba nga tetuli waffe, tumusanyuse.
Why we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 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.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad.
11 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.
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.
12 Tetugezaako kuddamu kubeenyumiririzaako, naye tubawa omukisa okwenyumiriza ku lwaffe, musobole okuba n’eky’okuddamu abo ababeewaanirako kyokka nga mu mitima gyabwe si ba mazima.
For we commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that you may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
13 Bwe tuwulikika ng’abagudde eddalu olw’ebyo bye tweyogerako, tukikoze ku bwammwe.
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
14 Kubanga okwagala kwa Katonda kutuwaliriza, ng’omu bwe yafiirira bonna, bonna kyebaava bafa.
For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 Yafiirira abantu bonna; abalamu balemenga okubeera abalamu ku bwabwe bokka, wabula ku bw’oyo eyabafiirira era n’azuukira,
And that he died for all, that they which live should not from now on live to themselves, but to him which died for them, and rose again.
16 okuva kaakano, tuleme okumanya omuntu yenna mu mubiri, bwe tuba nga ddala twamanya Kristo mu mubiri. Naye kaakano tetukyamumanyi bwe tutyo.
Why from now on know we no man after the flesh: yes, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now from now on know we him no more.
17 Noolwekyo omuntu yenna bw’abeera mu Kristo, aba kitonde kiggya; eby’edda nga bigenze, laba ng’afuuse muggya.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 Ebintu byonna biva eri Katonda eyatukomyawo gy’ali nga tuyita mu Kristo, era ne tuweebwa obuweereza obw’okutabaganya.
And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 Kubanga Katonda yali mu Kristo, ng’atabagana n’abantu, nga tababalira, bibi byabwe, n’atuteresa ffe obubaka obw’okutabaganya.
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Noolwekyo ku bwa Kristo tuli babaka, era Katonda atuma ffe okwogera nammwe. Kyetuva tubeegayirira, ku bwa Kristo, mutabagane ne Katonda.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be you reconciled to God.
21 Kubanga oyo ataamanya kibi, yafuuka ekibi ku lwaffe, tulyoke tufune obutuukirivu obuva eri Katonda mu Yesu.
For he has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
