¹CXar ni scias, ke se la surtera logxejo de nia tabernaklo dissolvigxos, ni havas de Dio konstruajxon, domon ne manfaritan, eternan en la cxieloj.

¹For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

²CXar vere en cxi tiu ni gxemas, sopirante al la survestado per nia logxejo, kiu devenas de la cxielo;

²For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;

³se almenaux, vestite, ni ne trovigxos nudaj.

³if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.

⁴CXar ni, kiuj estas en cxi tiu tabernaklo, gxemas sxargxite, ne pro tio, ke ni deziras senvestigxi, sed cxar ni deziras survestigxi, por ke la mortajxo estu elsorbita de la vivo.

⁴For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

⁵Kaj Tiu, kiu nin elfaris por cxi tiu celo, estas Dio, kiu donis al ni la antauxgarantiajxon de la Spirito.

⁵Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

⁶Ni do cxiam gxoje kuragxas, kaj ni scias, ke dum ni cxeestas en la korpo, ni forestas de la Sinjoro

⁶Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;

⁷(cxar ni iradas fide, ne vide);

⁷for we walk by faith, not by sight.

⁸ni gxoje kuragxas, kaj ni plivolas foresti de la korpo kaj cxeesti kun la Sinjoro.

⁸We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

⁹Tial ankaux ni ambicias, cxu cxeestante aux forestante, esti akceptindaj cxe li.

⁹Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.

¹⁰CXar ni cxiuj devos elmontrigxi antaux la tribunala segxo de Kristo, por ke cxiu ricevu tion, kion li faris en la korpo, laux siaj faritajxoj, cxu bonaj aux malbonaj.

¹⁰For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

¹¹Sciante do la timon al la Sinjoro, ni celas konvinki homojn, sed ni ja elmontrigxas al Dio; kaj ni esperas, ke ni elmontrigxas ankaux al viaj konsciencoj.

¹¹Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.

¹²Ni ne denove nin rekomendas al vi, sed donas al vi kauxzon fierigxi pri ni, por ke vi havu ion respondi al tiuj, kiuj fierigxas sxajne kaj ne kore.

¹²For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

¹³CXar cxu ni estis frenezaj, tio estis pro Dio, aux cxu ni estas seriozaj, tio estas pro vi.

¹³For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.

¹⁴CXar la amo de Kristo nin devigas; cxar ni jugxas jene, ke cxar unu mortis pro cxiuj, tial cxiuj mortis;

¹⁴For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

¹⁵kaj li mortis pro cxiuj, por ke la vivantoj jam vivu ne por si mem, sed por tiu, kiu pro ili mortis kaj relevigxis.

¹⁵He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

¹⁶Tial ni de nun konas neniun lauxkarne; ecx kvankam ni konis Kriston lauxkarne, tamen ni ne plu lin tiel konas.

¹⁶Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

¹⁷Tial se iu homo estas en Kristo, estas jam nova kreitajxo; la malnovajxoj forpasis, jen ili jam estigxis novaj.

¹⁷Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

¹⁸Sed cxio estas de Dio, kiu repacigis nin al Si mem per Kristo kaj donis al ni la administradon de la repacigo;

¹⁸But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

¹⁹nome, ke Dio estis en Kristo, repacigante la mondon al Si, ne alkalkulante al ili la kulpojn, kaj komisiis al ni la vorton repacigan.

¹⁹namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.

²⁰Ni do estas ambasadoroj pro Kristo, kvazaux Dio per ni petadus; ni vin petegas pro Kristo, repacigxu al Dio.

²⁰We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

²¹Tiun, kiu ne konis pekon, Li faris peko pro ni; por ke ni farigxu justeco de Dio en li.

²¹For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
