Both LV's swap and home have sufficient space for your 5GB needs. I can envision 2 approaches:
1) reallocate LV swap extents to LV root: - create an 8GB file on /home and use it a swap - stop using the LV swap as swap and return its extents to the VG pool - lvresize (or lvextend) the LV root and resize the root fs
2) shrink LV home and reallocate the extents to LV root - copy the contents of /home (< 2GB) to somewhere on /crypt - reduce the home filesystem by what, ?10,20,30GB? Your choice - resize the LV home to match (I think lvresize can do both) - enlarge the LV root and the root fs to match (again I think lvresize can do both)
