2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
Tiyaka muenga mmanyai, kaka ni dada, kup'etela neema ya K'yara yaipisibhu mu mmakanisa gha Makedonia.
2 how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
Magono gha papipi gha mateso, bhuingi fulaha ya bhene ni kuyongeseka kwa umasikini wa bhene uhoguili utajili ubhaa ni ukalimu.
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Kwandabha nishudila yakuwa bhapisili kwa kadili kabhabhuesyai, ni kuzidi kabhabhwesyai.
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
Ni kwa hiali yabhene bhabhene kwa kutusihi kuingi, bhatusomili kwajia ya kushiliki kup'etela huduma eye kwa bhaumini.
5 This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
Eye yatokili hee kutya katatalajilai. Badala yaki, kuanza bhajipisili bha bhene kwajia ya Bwana. kabhele bhajipisili bha bhene kwa tete kup'etela mapenzi gha K'yara.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Kaabhele tan'jobhili Tito, yaayele tiyali ayandili mbhombho eye, kuleta kup'etela mu utimilifu mu litendo ele la ukalimu panani payhomo.
7 But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
Ila muenga mna ubhuingi kup'etela kila khenu kup'etela imani, kup'etela lujobhelu, kup'etela umaalifa, kup'etela ubidii, ni kup'etela upendo bhuinu kwajia ya tete. Efe kabhele mhakikisiayi kujo mwiya ni ubhuingi kabhele kup'etela litendo ele la ukalimu.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Nijobha ele so kutya amuli. Badala yaki, nijobha ele ili kup'hema uhalisi wa upendo bhuinu kwa kulenganisya ni shauku ya bhanu bhangi.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
Kwandabha mmanyili neema ya Bwana wayhoto Yesu Kristu. Hata kujobhela ayele tajili, kwajia ya yhomo ayele masikini. Yakuwa kup'etela umasikini wa muene ili muenga mubhwesya kuya bhatajili.
10 I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
Kup'etela lijambo ele nikabhapela ushauli wawilota kubhasaidila. Mwaka ummonga waulotili, mwayandili hee tu kubhomba lijambo. Lakini mwatamene kuliketa.
11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
Henu mlikamilisiayi. Kutya katayele ni shauku ni nia ya kuliketa, kabhele, ko, ngamwabhwesili kulileta mu ukamilifu, kwa kadili ka mwibhuesya.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
Kwandabha muye ni shauku ya kuketa lijambo ele, lijambo ele, lijambo linofu tu nalikakubalika. Lasima li yhema panani pa khela kaayenaku munu, so panani adulili munu.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Kwandabha mbhombho eye so kwajia ya bhamana bhabhwesyai kuya nafuu ni muenga mulenubhwai. Badala yaki, ni usawa.
14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
Bhuingi bhuinu kwa magono gha henu ulasaidila kwa khela kabhilonda. Eye ndo kabhele kujo ubhuingi wa bhene ubhwesyai kusaidila mahitaji ghinu, ni kujo kuyelai ni usawa.
15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
Eye ndo kutya kaayandiki; “Muene yaayele ni fhingi eyele hee ni khenu kihokela kakabakili ni muene yaayele ni kidusu ayele lepi ni uhitaji bhuoa bhola.”
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Ila ashukulibhuayi K'yara, yaabhekili n'teema mugati mwa Tito n'teema bhola bhola wa uyeleni bidii ya kujali ghaniyele naghu kwajia ya yhomo.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Kwandabha so tu ayop'holili maombi ghitu, bali kabhele ayele ni bidii kup'etela ni maombi aghu. Ahidili kwa muenga kwa hiali ya yumuene.
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
Tuntumili pamonga ni muene ndhongo yaisifibhwa miongoni mwa makanisa kwajia ya mbhombho ya muene ya kutangasya injili.
19 Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
Tee naa tu, ila kabhele aghagulibhu ni makanisa kusafili ni tete kup'etela kup'henda sehemu syoa sela litendo ele la ukalimu. Eye ndo kwa utukufu wa Bwana muene ni kwa shauku ya yhoto ya kusaidila.
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Tiyepuka ni ubhuesekano wa yuoayhola ipasibhwa kulalamika kup'etela tete mu ukalimu obho watup'hendili.
21 Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Tito lawangalifu kuketa kya kiyele kya heshima, so tu palongolo pa Bwana, nikabhele palongolo pa bhanu.
22 We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
Kabhele tunkantuma ndongho yhongi pamonga ni bhene. Tumpemili mala singi, na tumbuene kujo yaayele ni shauku kwajia ya mbhombho singi. Hata henu ayele ni bidii zaidi kwa ndabha ya ujasili ubhaa ya ayele nabhu mugati bhuinu.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
Kwa habali ya Tito, Muene nshilika njangu ni mbhomba mbhombho njangu kwajia ya yhomo. Kujo tya kwa bhalongo bhitu, bhitumibhwa ni makanisa. Nando bha heshima bha Kristu.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Ndo mbhalasyai upendo bhuinu, na mlasyai ni mmakanisa ndabha ya majifuno ghitu kwajia ya yhomo.
