2 Akorinto 5:1-21 OCCL

[1] Popeza tikudziwa kuti ngati msasa wa dziko lapansi umene tikukhalamo uwonongeka, tili ndi nyumba yochokera kwa Mulungu, nyumba yamuyaya yakumwamba, osati yomangidwa ndi manja a anthu. [2] Pakali pano tibuwula, ndi kulakalaka kuvala nyumba yathu ya kumwambayo, [3] chifukwa tikavala, sitidzapezekanso amaliseche. [4] Pamene tili mu msasa uno, timalemedwa ndipo timabuwula, chifukwa sitifuna kukhala amaliseche koma ovala nyumba yathu ya kumwamba, kuti chimene chili chakufa chimezedwe ndi moyo. [5] Tsono ndi Mulungu amene anatikonzeratu ife kuti tilandire zimenezi. Iye anatipatsa Mzimu ngati chikole, kutsimikizira zimene zikubwera. [6] Nʼchifukwa chake nthawi zonse timalimba mtima, ndipo timadziwa kuti pamene tikukhala mʼthupi, ndiye kuti tili kutali ndi Ambuye. [7] Ife timakhala mwachikhulupiriro, osati mwa zooneka ndi maso. [8] Inde, ife tikulimba mtima, ndipo tikanakonda kulekana nalo thupi lathu ndi kukhala ndi Ambuye. [9] Choncho timayesetsa kukondweretsa Ambuye, ngakhale tikhale mʼthupi, kapena tichokemo. [10] Pakuti tonsefe tiyenera kukaonekera pa mpando woweruza wa Khristu, kuti aliyense wa ife akalandire zomuyenera molingana ndi zimene anachita ali mʼthupi; zabwino kapena zoyipa. [11] Tsono popeza tikudziwa tanthauzo la kuopa Ambuye, ife timayesetsa kukopa anthu. Mulungu amatidziwa bwino lomwe, ndipo tikukhulupirira kuti inunso mumatidziwa bwino mʼmitima mwanu. [12] Sitikudzichitiranso tokha umboni kwa inu, koma tikukupatsani mwayi oti muzitinyadira. Tikufuna kuti muwayankhe amene amanyadira zinthu zooneka ndi maso osati zimene zili mu mtima. [13] Ngati ndife amisala, monga amanenera ena, nʼchifukwa chofuna kuti Mulungu alemekezedwe. Ngati si ife amisala, nʼkuti inu muthandizike. [14] Pakuti chikondi cha Khristu ndicho chimatikakamiza, chifukwa tikutsimikiza kuti mmodzi anafera anthu onse, kotero kuti anthu onse anafanso. [15] Ndipo Iye anafera anthu onse kuti amene ali ndi moyo, asakhale ndi moyo wofuna kudzikondweretsa okha, koma azikondweretsa amene anawafera naukitsidwa chifukwa cha iwowo. [16] Choncho, kuyambira tsopano mpaka mʼtsogolo ife sitiganizirapo za munthu aliyense monga mwanzeru za umunthu, ngakhale kuti poyamba tinkaganiza za Khristu mʼnjira imeneyi, koma tsopano sititeronso. [17] Nʼchifukwa chake, ngati munthu aliyense ali mwa Khristu, ndi wolengedwa kwatsopano; zinthu zakale zapita taonani, zakhala zatsopano. [18] Zonsezi zichokera kwa Mulungu amene anatiyanjanitsa ndi Iye mwini kudzera mwa Khristu ndipo anatipatsa ife utumiki wa chiyanjanitso. [19] Mulungu ankayanjanitsa dziko lapansi kwa Iye mwini kudzera mwa Khristu, osawerengera anthu monga mwa zochimwa zawo. Ndipo watisungitsa ife uthenga uwu wa chiyanjanitso. [20] Choncho ife ndi akazembe a Khristu, monga ngati Mulungu akudandaulira anthu kudzera mwa ife. Ife tikukupemphani inu mʼmalo mwa Khristu kuti, yanjanitsidwani ndi Mulungu. [21] Chifukwa cha ife, Mulungu anasandutsa wopanda tchimoyo kukhala tchimo, kuti mwa Iye ife tikakhale chilungamo cha Mulungu.
