2 Corinthians 8
1 Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of Macedonia.
Tiyaka muenga mmanyai, kaka ni dada, kup'etela neema ya K'yara yaipisibhu mu mmakanisa gha Makedonia.
2 In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
Magono gha papipi gha mateso, bhuingi fulaha ya bhene ni kuyongeseka kwa umasikini wa bhene uhoguili utajili ubhaa ni ukalimu.
3 For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,
Kwandabha nishudila yakuwa bhapisili kwa kadili kabhabhuesyai, ni kuzidi kabhabhwesyai.
4 they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
Ni kwa hiali yabhene bhabhene kwa kutusihi kuingi, bhatusomili kwajia ya kushiliki kup'etela huduma eye kwa bhaumini.
5 And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, because it was 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 to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.
Kaabhele tan'jobhili Tito, yaayele tiyali ayandili mbhombho eye, kuleta kup'etela mu utimilifu mu litendo ele la ukalimu panani payhomo.
7 But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you —see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
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 am not making a demand, but I am testing the sincerity of your love in comparison to the earnestness of others.
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, so 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 And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.
Kup'etela lijambo ele nikabhapela ushauli wawilota kubhasaidila. Mwaka ummonga waulotili, mwayandili hee tu kubhomba lijambo. Lakini mwatamene kuliketa.
11 Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.
Henu mlikamilisiayi. Kutya katayele ni shauku ni nia ya kuliketa, kabhele, ko, ngamwabhwesili kulileta mu ukamilifu, kwa kadili ka mwibhuesya.
12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does 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 It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.
Kwandabha mbhombho eye so kwajia ya bhamana bhabhwesyai kuya nafuu ni muenga mulenubhwai. Badala yaki, ni usawa.
14 At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will 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 no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
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 put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
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 not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
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 Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
Tuntumili pamonga ni muene ndhongo yaisifibhwa miongoni mwa makanisa kwajia ya mbhombho ya muene ya kutangasya injili.
19 More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the offering —the gracious gift we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.
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 hope to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.
Tiyepuka ni ubhuesekano wa yuoayhola ipasibhwa kulalamika kup'etela tete mu ukalimu obho watup'hendili.
21 For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.
Tito lawangalifu kuketa kya kiyele kya heshima, so tu palongolo pa Bwana, nikabhele palongolo pa bhanu.
22 And we are sending along with them our brother whose earnestness has been proven many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence 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 among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, to 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 In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.
Ndo mbhalasyai upendo bhuinu, na mlasyai ni mmakanisa ndabha ya majifuno ghitu kwajia ya yhomo.
