< 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 )
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, everlasting, in the heavens. (aiōnios )
2 Na vinu, twankulolera kwa mata nentu kupananwa nshimba ya kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
3 Toziya patupananwa nshimba zya kumpindi kwa Mlungu, hapeni tuwoneki twahera nshimba.
since, after we have put it on, we will 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 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.
5 Mlungu mweni katutandiriti shitwatira ashi, nayomberi katupanana Rohu gwakuwi kaweri ulanguziwu kwa goseri gakatutuliriti.
Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Ruach.
6 Su, mashaka goseri tugangamala. Tuvimana handa kulikala munshimba ayi, twakutali mnumba yatwenga na Mtuwa.
Therefore, we are always confident and know that while we are 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 of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
9 Kumbiti shitwatila shikulu nentu, tufira kumfiriziya Mtuwa patulikala mnumba ya pasipanu ama mnumba ya kumpindi kwa Mlungu.
Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing 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 judgment seat of Messiah; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
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 fear of the Lord, we persuade people, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in 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.
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.
13 Payiwera tuwoneka kuwera twanalukwali, twanalukwali kwajili ya Mlungu na mahala getu gaherepa, ayi ndo kwa mota yamwenga.
For if we are out of control, it is for God. If we are in a reasonable way, 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 Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
15 Kahowiti kwajili ya woseri, su yawalikala walikali ndiri kwa toziya yawu weni, kumbiti kwajili yakuwi yomberi yakahowiti na kazyukisiyitwi kwajili yawu.
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.
16 Su, kwanjira vinu, twenga tumwalanga ndiri muntu yoseri shiuntu, ata handa tumwalangiti Kristu shiuntu, kumbiti vinu hapeni tutenda hangu kayi.
Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Messiah after the flesh, yet now we no longer know him in this way.
17 Muntu yoseri pakalikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, muntu ayu kawera shiumbi sha syayi, ga makashu gapita, gawera ga syayi.
Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Look, new things have come.
18 Goseri aga galawa kwa Mlungu, yakatugalambula twenga kulawa muungondu na kututenda tuweri waganja wakuwi kupitira Kristu na katupananiti lihengu kukolaniziya mawoku.
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Yeshua the Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of 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 in Messiah reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and having 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 are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Messiah, 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 him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
