2 Corinthians 5
1 We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios g166)
Nasayod kita nga kung malaglag ang yutan-ong pinuy-anan nga atong gipuy-an, aduna kitay pinuy-anan nga gikan sa Dios. Usa kini ka balay nga dili binuhat sa tawhanong mga kamot, kondili usa ka walay kataposang balay, sa langit. (aiōnios g166)
2 [While we are here on earth, we suffer]. We often groan because we desire [to go] to heaven [where God] will give us our new [bodies] [MET].
Kay nag-agulo kita niini nga tolda, naghandom nga masul-oban sa atong langitnong pinuy-anan.
3 When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
Naghandom kita niini tungod kay sa pagsul-ob niini dili na kita makaplagan nga hubo.
4 [It is true that] while we are still living in these bodies [MET] [that do not last forever], we often groan [DOU] [because we desire to be free from them]. We are not longing to be without a body. Instead, [we groan because] we desire to receive our new bodies [MET] in heaven. We long for this to happen so that these bodies that are going to die some day will suddenly be changed [into bodies] that will live [forever].
Kay sa pagkatinuod samtang anaa kita niini nga tolda, nag-agulo kita, nga gibug-atan. Dili kita buot nga mahimong hubo. Hinuon, buot kita nga mabistihan, aron nga kung unsa man ang may kamatayon mahimong lamyon pinaagi sa kinabuhi.
5 It is God himself who has prepared us to [receive] these [new bodies]. He is also the one who has guaranteed/assured us [(inc)] that this will happen. He has guaranteed it by sending his Spirit [to live inside us now].
Ang usa nga miandam kanato alang niining butang mao ang Dios, nga naghatag kanato sa Espiritu ingon nga panaad kung unsa man ang moabot.
6 So, [because God’s Spirit lives in us], we are always confident [that God will give us new bodies]. We know that as long as we have bodies here on [earth], we are not yet [living together] with the Lord [Jesus in heaven].
Busa magmasaligon sa kanunay. Pagmabinantayon samtang anaa pa kita niining lawasa, nalayo kita sa Ginoo.
7 While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
Kay maglakaw kita pinaagi sa pagtuo, dili pinaagi sa panan-aw.
8 [As I said], we [(exc)] are confident [that he will give us new bodies]. We [(exc)] would much prefer to leave these bodies [which we have now], and be with the Lord [Jesus in our] home in [heaven].
Busa magmasaligon kita. Mas maayo hinoon nga mahilayo kita gikan sa lawas ug makauban ang Ginoo didto sa pinuy-anan.
9 Because of all that, we always want to please [Jesus in everything that we do]. Whether we [(exc)] are [still living] here [in these] bodies or whether we have [left] them and are living in our home [in heaven], we want to please him.
Busa himoon nato kini nga tumong, bisan kung anaa kita sa pinuy-anan o nalayo, aron sa pagpahimuot kaniya.
10 [And we need to try hard to do that] because each one of us [believers] must stand before Christ [to be] judged [by him] {[when he will] judge [his people]}. [At that time] he will [reward each one of] us according to what we have done [while we lived in this world] in these bodies. [He will reward us according to] whether we have done good things or whether we have done evil things.
Kay kinahanglan mopakita kitang tanan sa atubangan sa paghukom ni Cristo, aron nga ang matag-usa makadawat kung unsa ang angay alang sa mga butang nga nabuhat sa lawas, kung maayo ba kini o daotan.
11 It makes me fearful [to think that some day I will stand before the Lord for him to judge me]. So I [do everything that I can to] convince people [that they should believe] (OR, [that I teach] sincerely) [God’s message]. God knows very well [how I conduct my life and what I teach], and I really believe that you know it, too.
Busa, sa pag-ila sa kahadlok sa Ginoo, nagdani kami sa mga tawo. Ug kung unsa kami tin-aw nga nakita sa Dios. Naglaom ako nga tin-aw usab kini diha sa inyong mga konsensya.
12 Once again [I say, as I write this], I am not just [trying to] make you think well/highly of me, [as some people will probably say that I am]. Instead, I am [telling you in this letter why you have] good reason [to tell those who criticize me] that you think highly of me. [I am telling you this] so that you will know what to say to those [teachers of false doctrine among you]. They are proud [of what they have done], instead of [making sure that] they [are right with God and being pleased with that].
Wala kami magsulay sa pagdani kaninyo pag-usab aron sa pagpakita kanamo ingon nga tinud-anay. Hinuon, naghatag kami kaninyo ug hinungdan aron nga kamo makapasigarbo kanamo, aron nga aduna kamoy ikatubag niadtong nagpahambog mahitungod sa binuhatan apan dili mahitungod sa kung unsa ang anaa sa kasingkasing.
13 [Some of them say that after God has enabled me to see visions], I [talk like] a crazy person. If [that is so, I want you to realize that I talk that way in order to please] God. On the other hand, if [you think that] I [speak and act] wisely, [that is good. I want you to know that I do] speak and act wisely in order to [help] you.
Kay kung kami mawala sa among mga panghunahuna, mao kini ang alang sa Dios. Ug kung kami anaa sa maayong mga panghunahuna, kini alang sa inyong kaayohan.
14 [I speak and act the way I do] because the love that Christ [has for people] influences me [in everything that I say and do]. When Christ died, [he suffered the punishment] for [the sins of] all people. So, we should all [think of ourselves as having] died with him, [being as unresponsive to sinful desires as] [MET] a corpse is.
Kay ang gugma ni Cristo nagdasig kanato, tungod kay kami sigurado niini: nga ang usa ka tawo namatay alang sa tanan, ug busa ang tanan nangamatay.
15 When [Christ] died for the everyone, he died in order that [we believers who are alive now] should not conduct our lives in a way that will just [please ourselves]. Instead, [we should conduct our lives in a way that will please] Christ, [because] he is the one who died for us and was brought back to life {whom [God] raised} again.
Ug si Cristo namatay alang sa tanan, aron nga kadtong buhi kinahanglan nga dili na gayod magkinabuhi sa ilang mga kaugalingon. Hinuon, kinahanglan silang magkinabuhi alang kaniya nga namatay ug nabanhaw.
16 So, [because I realize how much Christ loves everyone], I no longer think about people in the way that those who do not believe [in Christ] think about [them]. Before I [was a believer], I thought about Christ in the way that other non-believers did. But I do not think of him that way any more.
Tungod niini nga hinungdan, sukad karon dili na kami mohukom kang bisan kinsa sumala sa tawhanong sukaran, bisan paman kami sa makausa giila si Cristo sa sama niini nga pamaagi. Apan karon dili na gayod kami mohukom kang bisan kinsa niini nga paagi.
17 The fact is that God makes every one [of us] who [trusts] in Christ to be completely different [than we were before]. Our old [way of conducting our lives] is gone. We now have a [completely] new way of [conducting our lives].
Busa, si bisan kinsa nga anaa na kang Cristo, usa na siya ka bag-ong binuhat. Ang daang mga butang miagi na. Tan-awa, nabag-o na sila.
18 This [complete change in our lives] is all something that God [does]. It is God who made it possible for us to have a peaceful relationship with him. [He was able to do that] because of what Christ [did for us]. Now God [has sent] me, and those [who work] with me, to tell [people that they] can have a peaceful relationship with him.
Kining tanang mga butang gikan sa Dios. Iya kitang gipasig-uli sa iyang kaugalingon pinaagi kang Cristo, ug gihatag kanato ang buluhaton sa pagpasig-uli.
19 That is, [he sent us(exc) to tell them that] when Christ [died], God was [making it possible for everyone] [MTY] in the world to have a peaceful relationship with him. He no longer keeps a record of the sinful things that [we believers] have done. The message that [God] has given to us [to tell people is how we can have a] peaceful relationship with him.
Mao nga, diha kang Cristo ang Dios nagpasig-uli sa kalibotan alang sa iyang kaugalingon, wala gihunahuna ang ilang mga kalapasan batok kanila. Gisalig niya kanamo ang mensahe sa pagpasig-uli.
20 So, it is I and my companions who are Christ’s representatives [in this world. When we tell people the message about Christ], it is God himself who is pleading with them by means of what we [say]. So, as true representatives of Christ, we plead with you: [Believe God’s true message about Christ in order that you may] be reconciled to {have a peaceful relationship with} him.
Busa gipili na kami ingon nga pinadala ni Cristo, ingon nga gipakita niya ang iyang pagka-Dios pinaagi kanamo. Kami nangalipuyo kaninyo, alang sa kaayohan ni Cristo: “Pagpasig-uli sa Dios!”
21 [You must believe that even though] Jesus never sinned, God [punished him for all the] sinful things [that people do, just] as [if Jesus had done those sinful things himself]. And because of our close relationship with Christ, God has erased the record of our sins/declared us no longer guilty for our sins.
Gihimo niya si Cristo ingon nga halad alang sa atong sala. Siya ang usa nga wala gayod makasala. Gibuhat niya kini aron nga kita mahimong matarong sa Dios pinaagi kaniya.
