2 Corinthians 5
1 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, eternal, in the heavens. (aiōnios g166)
Tulumanyile ingave uvutamo vwa nkhilunga ikyututama umu ginangikha, tulinayo inyumba ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve. Yu nyumba iyu sayinchangiwa na mavokho ga vanu, yu nyumba ya sikhu joni kukyanya. (aiōnios g166)
2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
Ulwakhuva mu hema ili twitamiwa, twinogwa ukhufwata ukwa khutama khukyanya.
3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
Vu twinogwa evi ulwakuva ukhufwala satukhavonekhe ukuva vuvule.
4 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.
Lweli vutuligati mu hema ili, twifamwa vwutugatile. Santwinogwa ukhufuliwa. Pwu twinogwa, ukhufwalinchiwa, pwu ikifwile tumila nu vwumi.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
Uvi atuvikhile ufwe kwu khinu ikhi vi Nguluve, uvyatupile ufwe Umepo ndu lwidihano lwa kitu ikyu ya khave kwikwicho.
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
Pwu lino muve na makha ifigono fyoni. Muve miho ukhuta unsikhi vwu lulikukhaya khi mbili, tulikhutali nu Nkuludeva.
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
Ulwakhuva tugenda nu lwidikho sio khwa khulola.
8 We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
Pwu lino lulina makha. Huba tuve kutali ukhuhuma khumbili na kukhaya paninie nu nkuludeva.
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
Pwu tuvomba uvunogwe wetu, vutwiva kukhaya aukhuvutali tung'ovosye umwene.
10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Ulwakhuva twivoni tuvonekhage kuvolongolo kwu khigoda ikhya vuhigi ikya Kristi, pwu khila munu upulile ikhinogelanile kwu mbombo inchivombekha khi mbili, khuve khu vononu au khuvuvivi.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
Pwu ukhulumanya uvudwachi vwa nkuludeva, tukhuvavula avanu. Umu tuvelile, ivonekha vuvule nu Nguluve. Luhuvilo ukhuva vukhulumanya mnyivoneho nchinyo.
12 For 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.
Satwigela ukhuvasonga umwe khange ukhutulola ufwe ukhuva vayilweli. Pwu tukhuvapa umwe ulwakhuva ulwiginio khuliufwe, mvinchage gakhuvavula khuvala avikhiginia mkuvonekha khikhyo sakhili munumbula.
13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
Ulwakhuva ingave tunchumbile nu luhala khunongwa ya Nguluve. Ingave khwutule kuluhala lwito ulunonu ulwito.
14 For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
Ulwakhuva ulugano lwa risti lukhutukwegelencha: ulwakhuva tulinuvwa yilweli nili ukhuta umunu yumo afwile khu nongwa icha vone pwulino voni vafwile.
15 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.
Nu Unkristi afwile khunongwa ncha voni, pwu khuta vala avitama valekhe khange kwa ajili ya vene. Pwu vatamage navene uvyavile afwile nukhunchukha.
16 Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
Pwu lino, ukhutengula lino nukulutelila satukhung'iga umunu ukhukongana ni ikhigelelo kya munu, ndayive khunsa na tulikhundola uKristi ndulu. Lino satukhungiga umunu yoyoni khange.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
Pwu lino, ingave umunu yoyoni aligati mwa Kristi, umwene avile munu impya. Agakhatale galutile. Lola, gavile mapya.
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Ifinu fyoni ifi fihuma khwa Nguluve. Atunonchinche ufwe kwu mwene ukhugendela khwa Kristi, atupile imbombo ya kusayania.
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Ukhu khu nchova mwa Kristi, Unguluve ikhutusayania ni khilunga khwu mwene, mlekhe ukhu inongwa ncha vene. Ivika khulyufwe ilimenyu lya kusayania.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
Pwa tuhaliwe ndi g'wa gilinchiwa va Kristi, ukhuta Unguluve alikhuluta khuvulongolo(lufaa) ya mwene ukhugendelela kulyufwe. Tukhuvadova umwe ukhugendela mwa Kristi: “Msayane nu Nguluve!”
21 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.
Akhambikha uKristi ukhuva nekhelo khu nungwa nchito. Umwene visatule inongwa. Avombile evo tuvombe uvwa yilweli vwa Nguluve khumwene.
