2 Kolinitō 5

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

1HE ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoka veteki homau fale kelekele, ko e fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku ai homau fale mei he ʻOtua, ko e fale naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe he nima, ʻoku taʻengata, ʻi he langi.

2For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling,

2He ʻoku māpuhoi ʻi heni, ʻo holi lahi ke mau kofuʻaki homau fale ʻaia ʻoku mei he langi:

3if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked.

3He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻemau kofuʻia, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻiloa ʻoku mau telefua.

4For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

4He ko kimautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku māpuhoi, kuo māfasia: kae ʻikai koeʻuhi ke mau taʻekofuʻia, kae kofuʻaki, koeʻuhi ke folo hifo ʻae matengofua ʻi he moʻui.

5He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

5Pea ko ia kuo ne ngaohi ʻakimautolu ki he meʻa ko eni, ko e ʻOtua ia, ʻaia kuo ne foaki foki kiate kimautolu hono fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie.

6So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,

6Ko ia ʻoku mau lototoʻa maʻuaipē, ʻo ʻilo, lolotonga ʻemau ʻi heni ʻi he sino, ʻoku mau nofo kehekehe mo e ʻEiki:

7for we walk by faith, not by sight.

7(He ʻoku mau ʻaʻeva ʻi he tui, kae ʻikai ʻi he mamata:)

8Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

8‌ʻOku mau lototoʻa, pea holi ke hiki muʻa mei he sino, ka mau nonofo mo e ʻEiki:

9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

9Ko ia ʻoku mau holi ai, koeʻuhi, ka mau ka ʻi heni pe mamaʻo atu, ke lelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia.

10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

10He kuo pau ʻe fakahā ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga fakamaau ʻo Kalaisi; koeʻuhi ke maʻu taki taha kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa naʻa ne fai ʻi he sino, pe ko ha lelei ia pe ko ha kovi.

11Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience.

11Ko ia ʻi he ʻemau ʻilo ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fakalotoʻi ʻae kakai; ka kuo fakahā atu ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ou pehē, kuo fakahā atu ki homou loto foki.

12We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart.

12He ʻoku ʻikai te mau toe fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu, kae tuku ke mou vikiviki koeʻuhi ko kimautolu, pea ke mou maʻu ha tali kiate kinautolu ʻoku vikiviki fakamamata, kae ʻikai ʻi he loto.

13For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

13He kapau kuo mau vale, ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua pe: pea kapau ʻoku mau poto, ko e meʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.

14For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died;

14He ʻoku fakafeingaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻe he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi; he ʻoku pehē homau loto, kapau naʻe pekia ʻae tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē, pea tā naʻe mate kotoa pē:

15and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

15Pea naʻe pekia ia maʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻa nau toe moʻui kiate kinautolu, ka kiate ia naʻe pekia maʻanautolu, pea toetuʻu hake.

16From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.

16Ko ia ʻoku ngata heni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo fakakakano pe ha tokotaha: ʻio, naʻa mo Kalaisi, kapau naʻa mau ʻilo fakakakano ia, kuo ngata, ʻoku ʻikai te mau kei ʻilo pehē ia.

17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

17Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha taha, ko e fakatupu foʻou ia: kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa motuʻa; vakai, kuo hoko ʻo foʻou ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.

18All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

18Pea ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne fakalelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakamatala ʻoe fakalelei;

19that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

19Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻia Kalaisi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakalelei ʻa māmani kiate ia, ʻo ʻikai lau kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi fai hala; pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakaongoongo ʻoe fakalelei.

20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

20Pea ko eni, ko e kau faifekau ʻakimautolu koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ʻoku fakakolekole ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu: ʻoku mau kole ko e fetongi ʻo Kalaisi, mou fakalelei mo e ʻOtua.

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

21He naʻa ne ngaohi ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala, koe feilaulau ʻi he angahala koeʻuhi ko kitautolu; kae hoko ai ʻakitautolu ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia.
