1Lǧețțat i nesɛa di ddunit-agi am iqiḍunen ara yefnun, meɛna neẓra belli Sidi Ṛebbi ihegga-yaɣ deg igenwan tinezduɣin n dayem, mačči d ayen yexdem ufus n wemdan, meɛna d ayen yexdem nețța s yiman-is.
1For we know that if our earthly tabernacle house be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2Aql-aɣ nenɛețțab zdaxel uqiḍun agi, nețṛaǧu s lḥir melmi ara naweḍ ɣer tnezduɣin n dayem yellan deg igenwan ;
2For indeed in this we groan, ardently desiring to have put on our house which [is] from heaven;
3lameɛna ilaq a nili nhegga iman-nneɣ di ddunit-agi, mačči alamma tusa-d lmut a ɣ-tawi.
3if indeed being also clothed we shall not be found naked.
4Skud mazal-aɣ deg uqiḍun n ddunit-agi, yeɛni lǧețțat-nneɣ, nețnazaɛ am akken nbub taɛekkumt ẓẓayen ; mačči d lmut i nebɣa a nemmet, lameɛna nessaram a nels lǧețța n igenwan iwakken ad yețwakkes seg-neɣ wayen ifennun.
4For indeed we who are in the tabernacle groan, being burdened; while yet we do not wish to be unclothed, but clothed, that [what is] mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5D Sidi Ṛebbi i ɣ-iheggan ɣer tudert-agi, ifka-yaɣ-d Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen d aɛeṛbun n lbaṛakat ara ɣ-d ițțunefken.
5Now he that has wrought us for this very thing [is] God, who also has given to us the earnest of the Spirit.
6S wakka nesɛa daymen lețkal deg wulawen-nneɣ. Neẓra belli skud mazal-aɣ di lǧețța n ddunit-agi, aql-aɣ mazal nebɛed ɣef Sidi Ṛebbi ;
6Therefore [we are] always confident, and know that while present in the body we are absent from the Lord,
7axaṭer tura aql-aɣ nțeddu s liman, werɛad nwala s wallen.
7(for we walk by faith, not by sight;)
8S tideț nesɛa lețkal deg wulawen nneɣ, lameɛna a wi-yufan a neffeɣ si ddunit-agi iwakken a nili ɣer tama n Sidi Ṛebbi.
8we are confident, I say, and pleased rather to be absent from the body and present with the Lord.
9Ama nella di ddunit-agi ama neffeɣ seg-s, nețnadi kan a neɛǧeb i Sidi Ṛebbi.
9Wherefore also we are zealous, whether present or absent, to be agreeable to him.
10Axaṭer a nɛeddi meṛṛa di ccṛeɛ n Lmasiḥ, iwakken mkul yiwen ad ițțuḥaseb ɣef lxiṛ neɣ cceṛ i gexdem asmi yella di ddunit.
10For we must all be manifested before the judgment-seat of the Christ, that each may receive the things [done] in the body, according to those he has done, whether [it be] good or evil.
11Neẓra d acu i d lmeɛna n tugdi n Sidi Ṛebbi, daymi i nețnadi a d nehdu wiyaḍ. Sidi Ṛebbi yessen ulawen-nneɣ akken ilaq, ssarameɣ ula d kunwi tessnem-aɣ, teẓram ayen yellan deg ulawen-nneɣ.
11Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord we persuade men, but have been manifested to God, and I hope also that we have been manifested in your consciences.
12Mačči d zzux i nebɣa a nzux s yiman-nneɣ ɣuṛ-wen, nebɣa kan a nili d sebba n lfeṛḥ-nwen. S wakka aț-țissinem amek ara terrem awal i wid ixedmen ccan i wayen i d ițbanen s ufella kan, mačči i wayen yellan deg wulawen.
12[For] we do not again commend ourselves to you, but [we are] giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have [such] with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.
13Ma yella llant teswiɛin i deg nɛedda tilas deg uselmed-nneɣ, nɛedda tilas iwakken a d-tban tmanegt n Sidi Ṛebbi ; m'ara netɛqqel, i nnfeɛ-nwen i netɛeqqel.
13For whether we are beside ourselves, [it is] to God; or are sober, [it is] for you.
14Nețwaḥṛes s leḥmala n Lmasiḥ yeččuṛen ulawen-nneɣ, axaṭer neẓra imi yemmut yiwen wemdan ɣef yemdanen meṛṛa, ihi mmuten meṛṛa.
14For the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died;
15Yemmut ɣef medden meṛṛa, iwakken wid yeddren ur țɛicin ara i yiman nsen, lameɛna ad ɛicen i win yemmuten yerna yeḥya-d ɣef ddemma-nsen.
15and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.
16Sya d asawen ur nețwali yiwen s lɛeqliya n yemdanen ; ɣas akken zik-nni uqbel a namen nella nețwali Lmasiḥ s lɛeqliya n yemdanen, tura mačči akenni i t-nețwali.
16So that *we* henceforth know no one according to flesh; but if even we have known Christ according to flesh, yet now we know [him thus] no longer.
17Ihi win iteddun deg webrid n Lmasiḥ, iɛawed ed talalit, yuɣal d amdan ajdid : ayen yellan d aqdim iɛedda, kullec yuɣal d ajdid.
17So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:
18Ayagi meṛṛa yekka-d s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi i gessemṣalaḥen imdanen yid-es s Lmasiḥ, yerna iweṣṣa-yaɣ-ed a nbecceṛ amṣaleḥ-agi i yemdanen meṛṛa n ddunit,
18and all things [are] of the God who has reconciled us to himself by [Jesus] Christ, and given to us the ministry of that reconciliation:
19axaṭer s Lmasiḥ i gessemṣaleḥ Sidi Ṛebbi imdanen yid-es mbla ma imuqel ɣer ddnubat-nsen yerna iweṣṣa-yaɣ a nbecceṛ amṣaleḥ-agi.
19how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation.
20Ihi nukni d imceggɛen n Lmasiḥ, am akken d Ṛebbi s yiman-is i wen-d-issawalen yis nneɣ : Nețḥellil-ikkun s yisem n Lmasiḥ aț-țemṣalaḥem akk-d Ṛebbi.
20We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.
21Win akken yellan d azedgan leɛmeṛ yednib, Sidi Ṛebbi yeḥkem fell-as deg umkan-nneɣ am akken d amednub i gella iwakken s tikli-nneɣ akk-d Lmasiḥ, a nili d iḥeqqiyen zdat Sidi Ṛebbi.
21Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that *we* might become God's righteousness in him.
