1For 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.
1 Zama iri ga bay kaŋ, da ndunnya bukka wo, kaŋ ra iri go ga goro halaci, iri gonda cinari Irikoy do, fu kaŋ i mana te da kambe no, hal abada wane beena ra.
2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2 Zama haciika, woodin ra no iri go ga duray. Iri ga ba gumo iri ma sutura nd'iri nangora kaŋ ga ti beene wano.
3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
3 Zama da Irikoy n'iri sutura nd'a, i s'iri gar iri go koonu.
4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
4 Haciika, iri kaŋ go bukka wo ra, iri go ga duray, iri gonda tiŋay mo, zama iri si ba i ma woodin kaa iri gaa bo, amma iri ga ba Irikoy m'iri sutura, hala fundi _hal abada|_ ma haŋ kaŋ ga aniya ka bu gon.
5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
5 Nga mo kaŋ n'iri soola haya din se ga ti Irikoy, kaŋ n'iri no Biya _Hanno|_ a ma ciya daymi kayandiyaŋ.
6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
6 Woodin se no alwaati kulu iri gonda bine-gaabi. Iri ga bay mo kaŋ alwaati kulu kaŋ iri go gaaham woone ra, iri ga mooru Rabbi nangora.
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
7 (Zama iri go ga dira cimbeeri ra, manti mo-diyaŋ ra.)
8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
8 Oho, iri gonda bine-gaabi. A bisa iri se mo iri ma fay da gaahamo wo ka koy goro fu Rabbi do.
9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
9 Woodin sabbay se, iri anniya ga ti iri ma bara mate kaŋ ga kaan Rabbi se, d'iri goro ne wala d'iri fay da ne.
10For 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 hath done, whether it be good or bad.
10 Zama tilas no iri boro kulu ma bangay Almasihu ciiti karga jine, hal iri boro fo kulu ma du nga teerey boŋ kaŋ a te waato kaŋ a go gaahamo ra, da ihanno no wala ilaalo no.
11Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
11 Za kaŋ iri ga bay mate kaŋ iri ga humburu Rabbi nd'a, iri go ga borey cabe. Amma banganteyaŋ no iri go Irikoy jine. Ay ga miila iri go bangante araŋ bine lasaabey jine mo.
12For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
12 Iri si iri boŋ sifa koyne araŋ se, amma iri go g'araŋ no daama araŋ ma fooma nd'iri, hal araŋ ma du haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga tu d'a borey se kaŋ yaŋ go ga fooma nda taray alhaali, manti nda bine ra wane.
13For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
13 D'iri boŋey koma mo, a go Irikoy se. Wala nd'iri go iri laakaley ra, a go araŋ se.
14For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
14 Zama Almasihu baakasina go g'iri tuti, zama iri yadda da woone: boro folloŋ bu boro kulu se, yaadin gaa ikulu bu nooya.
15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
15 A bu ikulu se mo hala borey kaŋ yaŋ go ga funa ma si ye ka funa ngey boŋ se, amma bora din se kaŋ bu ka tun i se.
16Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
16 Woodin sabbay se, hunkuna banda iri si ye ka boro fo bay koyne borey lasaabey boŋ. Oho, baa iri na Almasihu bay borey lasaabey boŋ, kulu nda yaadin iri si tonton k'a bay da woodin koyne.
17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
17 Boro kaŋ go Almasihu ra, a ciya takahari taji nooya. Hari zeeney bisa, guna mo, itajiyaŋ kaa.
18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
18 Amma hayey din kulu, Irikoy do no i fun. A n'iri sasabandi nda nga boŋ Almasihu do, k'iri no sasabandiyaŋ goyo.
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
19 Sasabandiyaŋo wo ga ti: Irikoy go Almasihu ra ga ndunnya sasabandi nda nga boŋ, a si g'i taaley lasaabu i se mo. A binde na sasabandiyaŋ sanno talfi iri gaa.
20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
20 Yaadin gaa, iri ya wakiiluyaŋ no Almasihu se, danga Irikoy go iri ra ga borey yaamar. Iri g'araŋ suurandi Almasihu se: «Araŋ ma saba nda Irikoy!»
21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
21 Almasihu kaŋ mana zunubi kulu te, Irikoy n'a daŋ a ma ciya zunubi iri se, hal iri mo, iri ma ciya adilitaray kaŋ Irikoy ga no Almasihu ra.
