2 Koriniti 5

1 E matau ana hoki tatou, ki te wahia to tatou whare wharau, te mea whenua nei, he whare ano to tatou, he mea hanga na te Atua, ehara i te whare hanga e te ringa, he mea mau tonu, i nga rangi. (aiōnios g166)

For we know that, when our earthly house of this habitation is dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. (aiōnios g166)

2 He pono hoki i tenei e aue ana tatou, e hiahia ana ki to tatou whare o te rangi hei kakahu mo tatou:

And for this reason also, we groan, desiring to be clothed from above with our habitation from heaven.

3 Mehemea ia ki te whai kakahu tatou, e kore e rokohanga mai e noho tahanga ana.

If we are so clothed, then we will not be found to be naked.

4 Kei te aue hoki tatou, te hunga i tenei whare wharau, i te taimaha: ehara i te mea e hiahia ana kia unuhia o tatou nei, engari kia kakahuria iho kia horomia ai te mea matemate e te ora.

Then too, we who are in this tabernacle groan under the burden, because we do not want to be stripped, but rather to be clothed from above, so that what is mortal may be absorbed by life.

5 Na, ko te kaihanga i a tatou mo taua mea nei ano, ko te Atua, nana nei hoki i homai ki a tatou te wahi tuatahi, ara te Wairua.

Now the One who accomplishes this very thing in us is God, who has given us the pledge of the Spirit.

6 No reira i te mea e maia tonu ana tatou, e matau ana hoki, i a tatou e noho nei i te tinana, he mea motu ke mai i te Ariki ta tatou noho:

Therefore, we are ever confident, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are on a pilgrimage in the Lord.

7 Ko ta tatou haere hoki kei runga i te whakapono, kahore i runga i te titiro;

For we walk by means of faith, and not by sight.

8 E mea ana ahau, e maia ana ano tatou, ko ta tatou hoki e tino pai ai, kia noho motu ke i te tinana, kia noho ai i te Ariki.

So we are confident, and we have the good will to be on a pilgrimage in the body, so as to be present to the Lord.

9 Koia hoki tatou ka whai nei, ahakoa i konei e noho ana, ahakoa e noho ke ana, kia ahuarekaina mai tatou e ia.

And thus we struggle, whether absent or present, to please him.

10 Kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia kitea tatou katoa ki mua i te nohoanga whakawa o te Karaiti; kia riro mai ai i tenei, i tenei, nga mea i mahia i te tinana, kia rite hoki ki tana i mahi ai, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino.

For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.

11 Na, ka matau nei matou ki te wehi o te Atua, ka kukume matou i nga tangata, otira e kitea ana ano matou e te Atua; a e u ana toku whakaaro, kua kitea ano matou e o koutou hinengaro.

Therefore, having knowledge of the fear of the Lord, we appeal to men, but we are made manifest before God. Yet I hope, too, that we may be made manifest in your consciences.

12 Ehara i te mea e whakapai ana ano matou i a matou ki a koutou, engari e korero ana hei hoatu i te take ki a koutou e whakamanamana ai koutou ki a matou, kia ai ai he mea hei whakautu ma koutou ki te hunga e whakamanamana ana ki to te kanohi, kah ore ki to te ngakau.

We are not commending ourselves again to you, but rather we are presenting you with an opportunity to glory because of us, when you deal with those who glory in face, and not in heart.

13 Ahakoa hoki porangi matou, hei mea ia mo te Atua: ahakoa ranei tika o matou mahara, hei mea mo koutou.

For if we are excessive in mind, it is for God; but if we are sober, it is for you.

14 E akiakina ana hoki matou e te aroha o te Karaiti; i a matou e whakaaro ana i tenei, kotahi i mate mo te katoa, no reira he hunga mate te katoa;

For the charity of Christ urges us on, in consideration of this: that if one died for all, then all have died.

15 I mate hoki ia mo te katoa, kia kaua ai te hunga e ora ana e ora mo ratou ano a muri ake nei, engari mo tenei i mate nei mo ratou, a i ara ake ano.

And Christ died for all, so that even those who live might not now live for themselves, but for him who died for them and who rose again.

16 No reira a mua ake nei e kore matou e matau ki te tangata, ara ki tona kikokiko: ae ra, ahakoa matau matou ki a te Karaiti, ara ki tona kikokiko, otiia e kore matou e matau pena ki a ia a mua ake nei.

And so, from now on, we know no one according to the flesh. And though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him in this way no longer.

17 Na ki te mea kei roto i a te Karaiti tetahi, he mahinga hou ia: kua pahemo nga mea tawhito, na kua hou nga mea katoa.

So if anyone is a new creature in Christ, what is old has passed away. Behold, all things have been made new.

18 Ko te putake ia o nga mea katoa ko te Atua, i hohou nei i ta tatou rongo ki a ia i runga i a te Karaiti, a homai ana e ia ki a matou te minitatanga o te houhanga rongo;

But all is of God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

19 Ara, i roto te Atua i a te Karaiti e hohou ana i ta te ao rongo ki a ia, kore ake e whakairia ki a ratou o ratou he; a kua tukua mai ki a matou te kupu mo te houhanga rongo.

For certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not charging them with their sins. And he has placed in us the Word of reconciliation.

20 Na he karere matou na te Karaiti, me te mea ano ko te Atua tenei kei roto i a matou e karanga ana; ko matou hei whakakapi mo te Karaiti ki te tohe atu kia koutou, kia hohia ta koutou rongo ki te Atua.

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, so that God is exhorting through us. We beseech you for Christ: be reconciled to God.

21 Ko ia, kihai nei i matau ki te hara, meinga ana hei hara mo tatou, kia meinga ai tatou ko te tika o te Atua i roto i a ia.

For God made him who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the justice of God in him.
