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.
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.
2For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven;
2Aql-aɣ nenɛețțab zdaxel uqiḍun agi, nețṛaǧu s lḥir melmi ara naweḍ ɣer tnezduɣin n dayem yellan deg igenwan ;
3if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked.
3lameɛna ilaq a nili nhegga iman-nneɣ di ddunit-agi, mačči alamma tusa-d lmut a ɣ-tawi.
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.
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.
5Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
5D Sidi Ṛebbi i ɣ-iheggan ɣer tudert-agi, ifka-yaɣ-d Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen d aɛeṛbun n lbaṛakat ara ɣ-d ițțunefken.
6Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
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 ;
7for we walk by faith, not by sight.
7axaṭer tura aql-aɣ nțeddu s liman, werɛad nwala s wallen.
8We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
8S tideț nesɛa lețkal deg wulawen nneɣ, lameɛna a wi-yufan a neffeɣ si ddunit-agi iwakken a nili ɣer tama n Sidi Ṛebbi.
9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
9Ama nella di ddunit-agi ama neffeɣ seg-s, nețnadi kan a neɛǧeb i Sidi Ṛebbi.
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.
10Axaṭer a nɛeddi meṛṛa di ccṛeɛ n Lmasiḥ, iwakken mkul yiwen ad ițțuḥaseb ɣef lxiṛ neɣ cceṛ i gexdem asmi yella di ddunit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
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.
14For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
14Nețwaḥṛes s leḥmala n Lmasiḥ yeččuṛen ulawen-nneɣ, axaṭer neẓra imi yemmut yiwen wemdan ɣef yemdanen meṛṛa, ihi mmuten meṛṛa.
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.
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.
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.
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.
17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
17Ihi win iteddun deg webrid n Lmasiḥ, iɛawed ed talalit, yuɣal d amdan ajdid : ayen yellan d aqdim iɛedda, kullec yuɣal d ajdid.
18But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
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,
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.
19axaṭer s Lmasiḥ i gessemṣaleḥ Sidi Ṛebbi imdanen yid-es mbla ma imuqel ɣer ddnubat-nsen yerna iweṣṣa-yaɣ a nbecceṛ amṣaleḥ-agi.
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.
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.
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.
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.
