2 Bakolinto 5

1 “Tucinshi cena kwambeti mibili yetu yapacishi capanshi pano, mushakasa uwu wakapwaika, nitukafwale mibili njatubambila Lesa kwilu, ng'anda yabula kwibakwa ne makasa abantu, ng'anda yacindi conse. (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 Tulatongelenga mu ng'anda iyi njotulekalangamonga, pakwinga tulayandishishinga kwambeti Lesa akatwikalike mu ng'anda yetu ya kwilu.

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed on with our house which is from heaven:

3 Twakaifwala nteti tukacanike matakosha sobwe,

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 Pakwinga cino cindi ncotuli mu mushakasa uwu tulatongelenga cebo ca kulemenwa mikuli, nomba nteko kuyanda kufulula nsulo uwu mushakasha sobwe, nsombi kwambeti twakafwala ng'anda yetu ya kwilu mibili iyi ikute kufwa ikaminwe ne buyumi.

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 Lesa mwine elatubambili kushinta uku nekutupa Mushimu Uswepa kuba cishomesho cabyonse mbyatubambila.

Now he that has worked us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Neco cindi conse twashometi twacibanga ne mibili iyi yabuntu, Mwami Yesu Klistu ukute kacili kutali nenjafwe.”

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 Pakwinga tulendenga mu lushomo, ntebyo bintu mbyotulabononga ne menso.

(For we walk by faith, not by sight: )

8 Ndambangeti, tukute lushomo lwakwambeti inga twifulula mibili iyi ne kuya kwikala pamo ne Mwami.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Kupita bintu byonse, tulelekeshenga kumukondwelesha Mwami Yesu, nambi pacindi ncotucili twekala pepi nendiye, nambi katuli.

Why we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

10 Pakwinga twense nitukabonekele kuli Klistu kwambeti atomboloshe. “Muntu uliyense nakatambulenga kwelana ne ncito nshainsanga mu buyumi bwakendi, shaina nambi shaipa.”

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 Neco caina kutina Mwami Lesa, ecebo cakendi tulabayuminishinga bantu kwambeti bese kuli Lesa. Lesa utwinshi cena, kayi ndashoma kwambeti ne njamwe mutwinshi cena.

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 Nkatulalituntunga sobwe, nsombi tulelekeshenga kumupa citondesho cela kumutwangisha cebo ca njafwe, kwambeti mukacikonshe kubakumbula abo balalumbanyanga muntu ncalaleshenga kunsa kupita kwishiba muntu ncabele mukati mu moyo.

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 Neco na twafulungana mano, twafulunganina Lesa. Na tulabonekenga bantu bakute mano, nipacebo cenu.

For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

14 Lusuno lwa Klistu lulatutangunininga, pakwinga lino tucinsheti muntu umo walafwila bantu bonse, uku ekwambeti bonse balamantamo lubasu mu lufu lwakendi.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 Klistu walafwila twense, kwambeti abo bakute buyumi kabatayandangowa kulikondwelesha bonka, nsombi bakondweleshenga uyo walafwa ne kupunduka ku bafu cebo ca endibo.

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 Pacino cindi katulekani kombolosha bantu, kupitila mu mano abuntu bwetu. Nambi kaindi twalikuyeya sha Klistu kwelana ne mano abuntu onka, nsombi pacino cindi nkatwela kwinseco sobwe.

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 Neco lino uyo muntu lalipamankanya kuli Klistu laba cibumbwa ca lino lino, cakaindi cilapiti, laba walino lino.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18 Lesa ewalenseci kwambeti kupitila mu lufu lwa Klistu, afwe twalikuba balwani tube banendi, ne kutupa ncito yakuleta bantu nabambi kulyendiye kuba banendi.

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 Ncotulapandululunga nicakwambeti Lesa labambanga bwineshi pakati pali njafwe nendiye, kupitila muli Klistu. Lesa wafuta bwipishi bonse pakutupa mulumbe ngotulamwayanga weshi kuleta lumuno.

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 Afwe njafwe tulamwimanininga Klistu, kayi Lesa lamusengenga kwambeti munyumfwe mulumbe ngotulakambaukunga. Tulambanga makani a Klistu kayi ne kumusengeti mubweshane ne Lesa

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 Klistu nkalikuba ne bwipishi sobwe, nomba Lesa walamutwika bwipishi bonse bwa bantu kwambeti kupitila mulyendiye tucane bululami bwa Lesa.

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.
