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.
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 most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation 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 will not be found naked.
3 Zama da Irikoy n'iri sutura nd'a, i s'iri gar iri go koonu.
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.
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 who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment 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 and know that while 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.
7for we walk by faith, not by sight.
7 (Zama iri go ga dira cimbeeri ra, manti mo-diyaŋ ra.)
8We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home 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.
9Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to 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 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.
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 fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also 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 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.
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 if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
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 constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
14 Zama Almasihu baakasina go g'iri tuti, zama iri yadda da woone: boro folloŋ bu boro kulu se, yaadin gaa ikulu bu nooya.
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.
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.
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.
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 anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
17 Boro kaŋ go Almasihu ra, a ciya takahari taji nooya. Hari zeeney bisa, guna mo, itajiyaŋ kaa.
18But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
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.
