2 Wakorintu 5
1 Mana twenga tuvimaa kuwera shisasa ashi shatulikala pasipanu, ndo nshimba zyetu, pazitupulwa, Mlungu hakatupanani numba ya mashaka goseri kumpindi, numba ya mashaka goseri yayinyawilwa ndiri kwa mawoku ga wantu. (aiōnios g166)
For we know that if the earthy house of this our tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
2 Na vinu, twankulolera kwa mata nentu kupananwa nshimba ya kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
For, indeed, in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be invested with our heavenly mansion.
3 Toziya patupananwa nshimba zya kumpindi kwa Mlungu, hapeni tuwoneki twahera nshimba.
And surely, being thus invested, we shall not be found naked.
4 Twenga patuwera twankali twankulikala mushisasa ashi sha pasipanu, twankusapira na kufintirwa, tufira ndiri kuyivula nshimba ayi ya kuhowa, kumbiti tufira kuvalisiwa nshimba ilii yayihowa ndiri, su shilii shashihowa shigalambulwi na shilii shana ukomu.
For, indeed, we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not that we desire to be divested, but invested: that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
5 Mlungu mweni katutandiriti shitwatira ashi, nayomberi katupanana Rohu gwakuwi kaweri ulanguziwu kwa goseri gakatutuliriti.
Now he who has wrought us up to this very desire, is God, who has also given us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Su, mashaka goseri tugangamala. Tuvimana handa kulikala munshimba ayi, twakutali mnumba yatwenga na Mtuwa.
We are, therefore, always courageous; knowing that while at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 Toziya tulikala ndiri kwa kuwona, kumbiti tulikala kwa njimiru.
(for we walk by faith, not by sight.)
8 Twenga tugangamala na metufiri tulikali kutali na nshimba azi na tulikali pamuhera na Mtuwa.
We are courageous, indeed, and desirous rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Kumbiti shitwatila shikulu nentu, tufira kumfiriziya Mtuwa patulikala mnumba ya pasipanu ama mnumba ya kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
Therefore, also, we strive earnestly, whether at home, or from home, to be acceptable to him.
10 Toziya twenga twoseri hatugoloki kulongolu kwa Kristu na yomberi hakatutozi. Kila muntu hakanki shilii shakafiriziwitwi kwanka kwa galii gakatenditi pasipanu, gaweri gaherepa ama madoda.
For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in the body, according to what has been done, whether good or evil.
11 Toziya tuvimana nentu ntambu ya kumtira Mtuwa, su tujera kuwanika wantu wamonga. Mlungu katumana hweri na naneni nulitumbira mwenga mmana hweri myoyu yatwenga.
Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; and are made manifest to God: and, I trust, are made manifest also to your consciences.
12 Tufira ndiri kayi kulijuma twaweni kulongolu kwa mwenga. Kumbiti tuwapanana toziya ziherepa zyetu zya kulitumbira, su mwezi kawawankula walii yawalitumbira wantu yawawoneka kuliku ntambu yawawera mumoyu mwawu.
However, we do not again commend ourselves to you, but only give you occasion of boasting concerning us, that you may have an answer to them who boast in appearance, not in heart.
13 Payiwera tuwoneka kuwera twanalukwali, twanalukwali kwajili ya Mlungu na mahala getu gaherepa, ayi ndo kwa mota yamwenga.
For, whether we be beside ourselves, it is for God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.
14 Twenga tulonguziwa na ufiru wa Kristu, vinu tuwera tuvimana handa muntu yumu hera kahowiti kwajili ya wantu woseri, su twawoseri tuhowa pamuhera na yomberi.
For the love of Christ constrains us, having judged thus-- that if one has died, certainly all have died;
15 Kahowiti kwajili ya woseri, su yawalikala walikali ndiri kwa toziya yawu weni, kumbiti kwajili yakuwi yomberi yakahowiti na kazyukisiyitwi kwajili yawu.
and that he has died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who has died and rose again for them.
16 Su, kwanjira vinu, twenga tumwalanga ndiri muntu yoseri shiuntu, ata handa tumwalangiti Kristu shiuntu, kumbiti vinu hapeni tutenda hangu kayi.
So that we, from this time forth, respect no man on account of the flesh: and even if we have esteemed Christ on account of the flesh, yet now we esteem him no more on that account.
17 Muntu yoseri pakalikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, muntu ayu kawera shiumbi sha syayi, ga makashu gapita, gawera ga syayi.
For, if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new!
18 Goseri aga galawa kwa Mlungu, yakatugalambula twenga kulawa muungondu na kututenda tuweri waganja wakuwi kupitira Kristu na katupananiti lihengu kukolaniziya mawoku.
And all these things of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us to the ministry of the reconciliation--
19 Mlungu kaweriti mngati mwa Kristu, kawatenda wantu waweri waganja wakuwi kupitira Kristu. Yomberi kawawalangiriti ndiri vidoda vyawu na yomberi katupananiti ujumbi wa kukolaniziya mawoku.
namely, that God was, by Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting to them their trespasses, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Su twenga tutakula ntambu yakatakula Kristu yatutakula nayomberi Mlungu katutumiya twenga kuwaluwani. Tuwaluwani mwenga kwa ajili ya Kristu, mkolaniziwi mawoku na Mlungu.
We, therefore, execute the office of ambassadors for Christ, as of God beseeching you by us; we pray you, in behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21 Kristu kaweriti ndiri na vidoda, kumbiti Mlungu kamtenda kapapi vidoda vyetu, su kwa kulikolerana pamuhera nayomberi, twenga tuweri wantu waheri wa Mlungu.
For he has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us; that we might become the justified of God, by him.
