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)
Mun san cewa idan wannan gidan da muke zaune a ciki ya rushe, muna da wani ginin daga wurin Allah. Gida ne wanda ba hannuwan mutane suka gina ba, amma madawwamin gida ne a cikin sama. (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].
Domin a cikin wannan jiki muna gurnani, muna jira a suturta mu da wurin zaman mu na samaniya.
3 When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
Muna jiran wannan ne domin ta wurin suturtar da mu ba za a same mu tsirara ba.
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].
Gama babu shakka yayinda muke cikin wannan alfarwa, muna gurnani, muna nawaita. Ba mu so muyi zaman hutanci. Maimakon haka, muna so a suturtar da mu, domin rai ya hadiye abu mai mutuwa.
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].
Wanda kuwa yake shirya mu domin ainihin wannan abu Allah ne, wanda ya ba mu Ruhu a matsayin alkawarin abinda ke zuwa.
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].
Domin wannan mu zama da gabagadi koyaushe. Mu lura da cewa yayinda muka shagala cikin jiki, muna nesa da Ubangiji.
7 While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
Gama bisa ga bangaskiya muke tafiya, ba bisa ga ganin ido ba.
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].
Don haka muna da gabagadi. Mun gwammace mu rabu da jiki domin mu zauna tare da Ubangiji.
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.
Sai muka maishe shi burinmu, ko muna cikin jiki ko nesa, mu gamshe shi.
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.
Domin tilas dukanmu mu hallara a gaban kursiyin shari'a na Almasihu, saboda kowa ya karbi sakamakon abubuwan da yayi cikin jiki, ko masu kyau ne ko marasa kyau.
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.
Don haka, domin mun san tsoron Ubangiji, muna rinjayar mutane. Allah na ganin yadda muke a fili. Ina fatan hakan a fili take ga lamirinku.
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].
Ba muna kokarin mu rinjaye ku domin ku kalle mu a matsayin amintattun mutane ba. Maimakon haka, muna ba ku dalilin yin takama da mu, domin ku sami amsar da za ku bada ga wadanda ke fahariya da kasancewarsu amma ba game da abinda ke zuciya ba.
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.
Gama idan mun fita daga hankulanmu, saboda Allah ne. Kuma idan muna cikin hankalinmu, domin ku ne.
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.
Domin kaunar Almasihu ta tilas ta mu, domin mun tabbatar da wannan: cewa mutum daya ya mutu domin kowa, kuma domin wannan duka sun mutu.
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.
Kuma Almasihu ya mutu domin kowa, domin wadanda ke raye kada su sake rayuwa domin kansu. A maimakon haka, su yi rayuwa domin shi wanda ya mutu kuma aka tashe shi.
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.
Domin wannan dalili, daga yanzu ba za mu kara shar'anta kowa bisa ga ma'aunin 'yan'adam ba, ko da yake a baya mun taba duban Almasihu a haka. Amma yanzu mun daina shar'anta kowa ta haka.
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].
Saboda haka, duk wanda ke cikin Almasihu, sabon halitta ne. Tsofaffin al'amura sun shude. Duba, sun zama sababbi.
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.
Dukan wadannan abubuwa daga Allah ne. Ya sulhunta mu da kansa ta wurin Almasihu, ya kuma ba mu hidimar sulhu.
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.
Wato, cikin Almasihu, Allah na sulhunta duniya zuwa gare shi, ba tare da lissafin zunubansu a kansu ba. Yana damka mana sakon sulhu.
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.
Don haka an zabe mu a matsayin wakilan Almasihu, kamar dai Allah na kira ga mutane ta wurin mu. Muna rokon ku, saboda Almasihu: ''ku sulhuntu ga Allah!''
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.
Shi ya maida Almasihu ya zama hadaya domin zunubinmu. Shine wanda bai taba zunubi ba. Ya yi haka ne don mu zama adalchin Allah a cikin sa.
