2 Ba Kkolinto 9

1 Kwambisya milimo yabantu baLeza basalala, twekweelede kuti ndamulembela njiyo pe.

For indeed, concerning the ministry that [is] for the holy ones, it is superfluous for me to write to you,

2 Ndilizi atala aziyandisyo zyanu, ezyo nzindakalikankayizya atala andinywe kubantu bakuMakkedoniya. Ndakabaambila kuti Akkaya wakalibambila kuzwa munyaka wayiinda. busungusungu bwanu bwakasungwaazya bayingi kuti bachite mbubonya.

for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared a year ago, and your zeal stirred up the greater part,

3 Lino ndakatuma bakwesu kuti kulikankayizya kwesu andinywe kutabi kufwisya bweeme akuti mukalibambile, mbuli mbundakamwaambila.

and I sent the brothers, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, you may be ready,

4 Ambweni, kuti baMakkedoniya bamwi ndaza abo akujana kamutalibambilide, ngatuyoofwa bweeme - takukwe nchinga ndilamba atala andinywe - nkaambo ndilikkusikene mulindinywe.

lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we may be put to shame (that we do not say—you) in this same confidence of boasting.

5 Ndakayeya kuti kulikabotu kuti ndisungwaazye bakwesu basike kiulindinywe akuti muzobambilile chipo nchimwakasyomezya. Kuchitila kuti chibambike mbuli chilongezyo, akuti chitabi mbuli chakumusinikizya ped.

Therefore I thought [it] necessary to exhort the brothers, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.

6 Ichiliko ncheechi: Ooyo ubuala chakuchesya ulatebula mubuche, ayooyo ubyala chakulangila choolwe ulatebula chilongezyo.

And [remember] this: he who is sowing sparingly, will also reap sparingly; and he who is sowing in blessings, will also reap in blessings;

7 Amuleke umwi awumwi ape mbuli kukanza kwamoyo wakwe. Kutali chamunyono na kuti kusinikizigwa. Nkaambo Leza uyanda uupa chalumwemwe.

each one, according as he purposes in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver,

8 Alimwi Leza ulakonzya kuchita luzyalo loonse kuti lweete kulindinywe ikuti kukabe, muzyiindi zyoonse, muzintu zyoonse, kuti mujane zyoonse nzimuyanda. Eechi chiyooba kuti mukayungizye milimu mibotu.

and God [is] able to cause all grace to abound to you, that in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound to every good work,

9 Kuli mbuli mbukulembedwe: “Wakaaba buvubi bwakwe akubupa kubachete. Bululami bwakwe bulapona kwalyoonse.” (aiōn g165)

according as it has been written: “He dispersed abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness remains throughout the age,” (aiōn g165)

10 Ooyo uupa mbuto kubalimi nguubyala alimwi chinkwa chakulya uyoopa akuyungizya mbuto yakubyala. Uyoyungizya butebuzi bwabululami bwako.

and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

11 Muyoovubisigwa munzila zyoonse akuba sibuuya. Eezi ziyooleta kulumba kuliLeza kwiinda mulindiswe.

being enriched to all liberality in everything, which works thanksgiving through us to God,

12 Kukunyampula mulimu ooyu takuli kugwasizya bantu baLeza basalala luzutu pe, pesi alubo kuyooyeta muzintu zyiingi zyakupa Leza zipo.

because the ministry of this service not only is supplying the wants of the holy ones, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

13 Nkaambo kakweezegwa akwiimikizigwa kwenu amulimu ooyu, alimwi muyoolumbayizya Leza akuswilila kukuzumina makani mabotu aaKkilisito. Muyoolumbayizya Leza alubo azipo nzimuyoobunganisya chalumwemwe kulimbabo akuli wumwi awumwi.

through the proof of this ministry glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

14 Mbibanu, alimwi balikumukombela. Bachita eezi nkaambo kaluzyalo lupati lwaLeza luli alindinywe.

and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God on you;

15 Ngalumbwe Leza achipo chakwe chitaambiki!

thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!
