2 Kolinitō 5

1 He ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoka veteki homau fale kelekele, ko e fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku ai homau fale mei he ʻOtua, ko e fale naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe he nima, ʻoku taʻengata, ʻi he langi. (aiōnios g166)

For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands — age-during — in the heavens, (aiōnios g166)

2 He ʻoku māpuhoi ʻi heni, ʻo holi lahi ke mau kofuʻaki homau fale ʻaia ʻoku mei he langi:

for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves,

3 He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻemau kofuʻia, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻiloa ʻoku mau telefua.

if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be found naked,

4 He ko kimautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku māpuhoi, kuo māfasia: kae ʻikai koeʻuhi ke mau taʻekofuʻia, kae kofuʻaki, koeʻuhi ke folo hifo ʻae matengofua ʻi he moʻui.

for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life.

5 Pea ko ia kuo ne ngaohi ʻakimautolu ki he meʻa ko eni, ko e ʻOtua ia, ʻaia kuo ne foaki foki kiate kimautolu hono fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie.

And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit;

6 Ko ia ʻoku mau lototoʻa maʻuaipē, ʻo ʻilo, lolotonga ʻemau ʻi heni ʻi he sino, ʻoku mau nofo kehekehe mo e ʻEiki:

having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, —

7 (He ʻoku mau ʻaʻeva ʻi he tui, kae ʻikai ʻi he mamata: )

for through faith we walk, not through sight —

8 ‌ʻOku mau lototoʻa, pea holi ke hiki muʻa mei he sino, ka mau nonofo mo e ʻEiki:

we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

9 Ko ia ʻoku mau holi ai, koeʻuhi, ka mau ka ʻi heni pe mamaʻo atu, ke lelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia.

Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away from home, to be well pleasing to him,

10 He kuo pau ʻe fakahā ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga fakamaau ʻo Kalaisi; koeʻuhi ke maʻu taki taha kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa naʻa ne fai ʻi he sino, pe ko ha lelei ia pe ko ha kovi.

for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;

11 Ko ia ʻi he ʻemau ʻilo ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fakalotoʻi ʻae kakai; ka kuo fakahā atu ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ou pehē, kuo fakahā atu ki homou loto foki.

having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested;

12 He ʻoku ʻikai te mau toe fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu, kae tuku ke mou vikiviki koeʻuhi ko kimautolu, pea ke mou maʻu ha tali kiate kinautolu ʻoku vikiviki fakamamata, kae ʻikai ʻi he loto.

for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and not in heart;

13 He kapau kuo mau vale, ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua pe: pea kapau ʻoku mau poto, ko e meʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.

for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God; whether we be of sound mind — [it is] to you,

14 He ʻoku fakafeingaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻe he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi; he ʻoku pehē homau loto, kapau naʻe pekia ʻae tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē, pea tā naʻe mate kotoa pē:

for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

15 Pea naʻe pekia ia maʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻa nau toe moʻui kiate kinautolu, ka kiate ia naʻe pekia maʻanautolu, pea toetuʻu hake.

and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

16 Ko ia ʻoku ngata heni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo fakakakano pe ha tokotaha: ʻio, naʻa mo Kalaisi, kapau naʻa mau ʻilo fakakakano ia, kuo ngata, ʻoku ʻikai te mau kei ʻilo pehē ia.

So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

17 Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha taha, ko e fakatupu foʻou ia: kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa motuʻa; vakai, kuo hoko ʻo foʻou ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.

so that if any one [is] in Christ — [he is] a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

18 Pea ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne fakalelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakamatala ʻoe fakalelei;

And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation,

19 Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻia Kalaisi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakalelei ʻa māmani kiate ia, ʻo ʻikai lau kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi fai hala; pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakaongoongo ʻoe fakalelei.

how that God was in Christ — a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

20 Pea ko eni, ko e kau faifekau ʻakimautolu koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ʻoku fakakolekole ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu: ʻoku mau kole ko e fetongi ʻo Kalaisi, mou fakalelei mo e ʻOtua.

in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, 'Be ye reconciled to God;'

21 He naʻa ne ngaohi ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala, koe feilaulau ʻi he angahala koeʻuhi ko kitautolu; kae hoko ai ʻakitautolu ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia.

for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
