2 Corinthians 8
1 We doe you also to wit, brethren, of the grace of God bestowed vpon the Churches of Macedonia,
Twataka mwenga muitange, ainja na alombo, kuhusu neema ya Nnongo ambayo ititolewa kwa makanisa ga Makedonia.
2 Because in great triall of affliction their ioy abounded, and their most extreme pouertie abounded vnto their rich liberalitie.
Wakati wa lijaribu kolo lya mateso, wingi wa puraha yabe ni ongezeko lya umaskini wabe upambike utajiri nkolo wa ukarimu.
3 For to their power (I beare record) yea, and beyonde their power, they were willing,
Kwa naaba nashuhudia panga batitoa kwa kadiri ya balioweza, na hata zaidi ya balioweza.
4 And praied vs with great instance that we woulde receiue the grace, and fellowship of the ministring which is toward the Saints.
Na kwa hiari yabembe bene kwa kutusihi kwingi, batulobite kwa ajili ya shiriki katika huduma yee kwa baumini.
5 And this they did, not as we looked for: but gaue their owne selues, first to the Lord, and after vnto vs by the will of God,
Ayee itokana kwaa mana yatubile twatarajia. Badala yake, kwanza walijitoa bembe bene kwa Ngwana. Boka po kabajitoa bembe bene kwitu kwa mapenzi ya Nnongo.
6 That we should exhort Titus, that as hee had begon, so he would also accomplish the same grace among you also.
Nga twatimsihi Tito, ywaabile tayari atianzisha kazi yee, kuleta katika ukamilifu tendo lee lya ukarimu nnani yinu.
7 Therefore, as yee abound in euery thing, in faith and woorde, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your loue towardes vs, euen so see that yee abound in this grace also.
Lakini mwenga mubile baingi katika kila kilebe-katika imani, katika usemi, katika maarifa, katika bidii, na katika upendo winu kwa ajili yitu. Nga nyoo muhakikishe panga mwenga mwabile na wingi kae katika likowe lee lya ukarimu.
8 This say I not by commandement, but because of the diligence of others: therefore prooue I the naturalnesse of your loue.
Nabaya lee kati amri kwaa. Badala yake, nabaya lee ili kupima uhalisi wa upendo winu kwa linganisha na shauku ya bandu benge.
9 For ye knowe the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, that hee being rich, for your sakes became poore, that yee through his pouertie might be made rich.
Kwa mana mutangite neema ya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo. Hata mana abile tajiri, kwa ajili yinu abile maskini. ili panga pitya umaskini wake muweze kuwa tajiri.
10 And I shewe my minde herein: for this is expedient for you, which haue begun not to doe onely, but also to will, a yeare agoe.
Katika likowe lee nalowa kuwapea ushauri ambao utabasaidia. Mwaka umo waupitike, mtumbwe kwaa panga likowe. Lakini mwatitamaniya kulipanga.
11 Nowe therefore performe to doe it also, that as there was a readinesse to will, euen so yee may performe it of that which yee haue.
Nambeambe mulikamilishe, Mana ibile na shauku na nia ya kulipanga, boka po, je mwaweza kae kulileta katika ukamilifu, kwa kadri ya mwamuweza.
12 For if there be first a willing minde, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
Kwa kuwa mubile na shauku ya kupanga likowe lee, ni likowe linoite na lyakubalika. Lazima liyemite nnani ya chelo chabile nacho mundu, nnani kwaa ya abile nacho kwaa mundu.
13 Neither is it that other men should be eased and you grieued: But vpon like condition, at this time your abundance supplieth their lacke:
Kwa mana kazi yee ibile kwaa kwa ajili panga benge baweze kupata nafuu ni mwenga muweze lemewa. Badala yake, kube ni usawa.
14 That also their aboundance may bee for your lacke, that there may be equalitie:
Baingi binu wa wakati wambeambe utasaidia kwa chelo watikihitaji. Ayee nga nyoo kae ili panga baingi wabe uweze kuasaidia mahitaji yinu, na panga kuwe ni usawa.
15 As it is written, Hee that gathered much, had nothing ouer, and hee that gathered litle, had not the lesse.
Ayee nga kati yaiandikilwe;”Ywembe ywabile ni vingi abile kwaa na kilebe chochote chakibakile ni ywembe ywabile na kichunu chabile kwaa ni uhitaji wowote,”
16 And thanks be vnto God, which hath put in the heart of Titus the same care for you.
Lakini ashukuriwe Nnongo, ywabekite nkati ya mwoyo wa Tito mwoyo wowolo kwa bidii ya kujali ambavyo nibile navyo kwa ajili yinu.
17 Because hee accepted the exhortation, yea, hee was so carefull that of his owne accorde hee went vnto you.
Kwa mana apokile kwaa kae maombi yitu, ila abile na bidii husiana na maombi ago. Abile kwinu kwa hiyari yake mwene.
18 And wee haue sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the Gospel throughout al the Churches.
Tumtumite pamope ni ywembe nongo ambaye atisifiwa nkati mwa makanisa kwa ajili ya kazi yake katika kuitangaza injili.
19 (And not so onely, but is also chosen of the Churches to be a fellowe in our iourney, concerning this grace that is ministred by vs vnto the glorie of the same Lord, and declaration of your prompt minde)
Hivi kwaa kae, lakini achauliwe kae na makanisa kusafiri nitwenga katika kulipotwa sehemu mbalembale tendo lee lya ukarimu. Alee ni kwa utukufu wa Ngwana mwene na kwa shauku yitu ya kusaidia.
20 Auoiding this, that no man shoulde blame vs in this aboundance that is ministred by vs,
Twaepuka uwezekano wa panga yoyote aplikwa lalamika kuhusiana na twenga kuhusiana na ukarimu woo ambao twaupapite.
21 Prouiding for honest thinges, not onely before the Lord, but also before men.
Twautola uangalifu kupanga cakibile chaheshima, nnonye kwaa ya Ngwana, lakini nnonge ya bandu kae,
22 And we haue sent with them our brother, whom we haue oft times prooued to be diligent in many thinges, but nowe much more diligent, for the great confidence, which I haue in you.
Twantuma nongo ywenge pamope nabo. Twatimpema mara zanyansima, na tumweni abile ni shauku kwa ajili ya kazi zanyansima. Hata nambeambe abile na bidii muno kwa sababu ya ujasiri nkolo waabile nao nkati yinu.
23 Whether any doe inquire of Titus, he is my fellowe and helper to you ward: or of our brethren, they are messengers of the Churches, and the glorie of Christ.
Kwa habari ya Tito, ywembe ni mshirika mwenza wango na mpanga kazi mwenzanu kwa ajili yinu. Kati kwa alongo bitu, watumwile na makanisa. Nabaishimiya kwa Kristo.
24 Wherefore shew toward them, and before the Churches the proofe of your loue, and of the reioycing that we haue of you.
Nga nyo, mubaoneshe upendo winu, na mubonekeye kwa makanisa sababu ya maipuno yitu kwa ajili yinu.
