2 Corinthians 8
1 And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;
Zvino tinokuzivisai, hama, nyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa pamakereke eMakedhonia;
2 How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.
kuti pakuedzwa kukuru kwedambudziko, kuwanzwa kwemufaro wavo neurombo hwavo hwakadzama zvakawedzera pafuma yekupa kwavo.
3 For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,
Nokuti vakange vane chido pakukwanisa kwavo, ndinopupura, kunyange kupfuura kukwanisa kwavo,
4 Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:
nechikumbiro chikuru vakatigombedzera, kuti tigamuchire chipo uye kugovana parubatsiro rwunova rwevatsvene;
5 And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.
uye kwete sezvatakatarisira, asi vakatanga kuzvipa ivo kuna Ishe, nekwatiri nechido chaMwari.
6 So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.
Zvekuti takakurudzira Tito, kuti sezvaakange ambotanga, saizvozvo apedzisewo kwamuri basa iri renyashawo.
7 And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.
Asi sezvamakawanza pazvese, parutendo, uye pashoko, uye paruzivo, uye pakushingaira kwese, uye parudo rwenyu kwatiri, tarirai kuti muwanzewo pabasa iri renyasha.
8 I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.
Handitauri semurairo, asi nekushingaira kwevamwe uye ndichiidza uchokwadi hwerudo rwenyu.
9 For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
Nokuti munoziva nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti kunyange akange akafuma, nekuda kwenyu wakava murombo, kuti imwi kubudikidza neurombo hwake mufume.
10 And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.
Zvino pachinhu ichi ndinopa maonero; nokuti ichi chinokubatsirai, imwi makatotanga kubva gore rakapera, kwete kuita chete, asi nekuda.
11 Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.
Asi ikozvinowo pedzisai kuita, kuti, sezvapane chishuwo chemoyo, saizvozvo kuripo kupedzisawo kubva pane zvamunazvo.
12 For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.
Nokuti kana chishuwo chemoyo chiripo, munhu anogamuchirika zvichienderana nezvaanazvo, kwete kuenderana nezvaasina.
13 And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:
Nokuti hakusi kuti vamwe vave nekurerusirwa, imwi muremerwe; asi kubva pakuenzana, panguva yaikozvino zvakawanda zvenyu zviwedzere pakushaiwa kwavo,
14 But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.
kutiwo zvakawanda zvavo zviwedzere pakushaiwa kwenyu, kuti kuve nekuenzana,
15 As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.
sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Wakaunganidza zvizhinji haana kuva nezvakasara; newakaunganidza zvishoma haana kushaiwa.
16 But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
Asi ngaavongwe Mwari wakaisa mumoyo maTito kushingaira kwakadaro kwamuri,
17 For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
kuti zvirokwazvo wakagamuchira kurudziro, asi zvaakange achishingaira zvikuru, wakabva akaenda kwamuri nechido chake.
18 And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;
Zvino takatuma pamwe naye hama, rumbidzo yake muevhangeri yakagura nemumakereke ese;
19 And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:
zvisati zviri izvozvo chete, asi wakasarudzwawo nemakereke kuti atiperekedze nenyasha idzi, dzakabatiswa nesu mukurumbidzwa kwaIshe uyu, nechishuwo chemoyo wenyu;
20 And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:
tichidzivirira izvi, zvimwe umwe angatimhura pamusoro pezvipamhidzirwa izvi zvinobatiswa nesu;
21 For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.
tichirangarira zvakanaka kwete pamberi paIshe chete asi pamberi pevanhuwo.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.
Uye takatuma navo hama yedu, yatakawana yakashingaira pazvizhinji kazhinji, asi zvino anonyanya kushingaira nekuda kwekukuvimbai kukuru.
23 If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.
Kana zviri zvaTito, umwe wangu nemushandi pamwe neni kwamuri; kana hama dzedu, nhume dzekereke, vari kukudzwa kwaKristu.
24 Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.
Naizvozvo ratidzai kwavari uchapupu hwerudo rwenyu nehwekuzvikudza kwedu pamusoro penyu, nepamberi pemakereke.
