2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
Chibhenda emwe mumenye, omumula nomusubhati, echigongo cha Nyamuanga chinu changabhiwe mu makanisa ga Makedonia.
2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
Omwanya gwalisakwa linene lyo kunyaka, obwafu bwa likondelelwa lyebwe lyokuyanibwa obhutaka bwebwe nibwibhula obhunibhi bwafu bwo kukuma.
3 For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves;
Kwo kubha enibhambalila ati abho bhasosishe kwo bhatulile, nolwo byafu bhinu bhatulile.
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
No kwenda kwebwe abhene no kujilembesha kwafu, bhachisabhilwe koleleki bhasangile kumilimu jinu ku bhelu.
5 And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
Linu litakasokele alabha kwokwo chaliga nichenda. kulwejo, kwamba bhesosishe abhene bhenyele ku Lata bhugenyi. kutyo nibhesosha abhene bhenyele kweswe mu kwenda kwa Nyamuanga.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
Nikwo nichikomelesha Tito, aliga ambile omulimu gunu, nikwo akumishe echigongo chinu kwimwe.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
Nawe emwe muno bwafu bhuli chinu mu likilisha mu kwaika na mubhumenyi, na mu kukomela, na mu kwenda kwemwe mwiswe. Kutyo nimufufyega ati emwe omubha no bhafu ona okukola linu muchigongo.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
Enaika linu atali kwokubhalagilila. koleleki naika linu okubhalola okwenda kwemwe okwinganilisha no kwenda kwa bhanu bhandi.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Kwo kubha mumenyele echigongo cha Lata bhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo. Nolwo aliga munibhi, kulwemwe aliga mutaka koleleki okulabhila obhutaka bwae mutule kubha bhanibhi.
10 And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
Mu musango gunu enibhayana omusango gunu ogubhasakila. Omwaka gumwi gunu gulabhile, mutambile ela okukola omusango. Nawe naligiye okukola.
11 Now therefore perform the doing [of it]; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which ye have.
Woli mukumishe. Alabha nikwo chaliga nichenda okukola, nikwo, mbe, mwakatulile ona okuleta obwengeso, kwokwo omutula.
12 For if there be first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he hath not.
Kwo kubha omwenda okola linu, ni musango gwa kisi no gwendibwa. Bhusibhusi limelegulu ingulu yachiliya echo alinacho omunu, atali ingulu yachinu atanacho omunu.
13 For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
Kwo kubha emilimu jinu jitali koleleki ati abhandi abhatula obhuanga nemwe musitoelwe.
14 But by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality:
Obhafu bwemwe kwo mwanya gwa olyanu ogusakila kwa chiliya echoechendibwa. Linu ni kutyo ona koleleki obwafu bwebwe bhutule okusakila ebhinu byemwe, na ati kubhe nokwingana.
15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack.
Linu nikwo gandikilwe; “Unu aliga na byafu atabheye na chinu chona chona echochasigaye na unu aliga na bhitoto atabheye na kwenda byona.”
16 But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
Nawe asimwe Namuanga, unu atee munda yo mwoyo gwa Tito omwoyo guliguli gwo kumenya unu ninago kulwemwe.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
kwo kubha atali ela alamiye lisabwa lyeswe, nawe ona aliga nikomesha okugwana nalisabwa elyo. Ejile kwemwe kwokwituma kwaye omwene.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;
Chamutuma aamwi nage omuili unu kakuibwa mubhamwi mwa makakanisa koleleki emilimu jaye jo kulasha omusango.
19 And not [that] only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind:
Jitali ejo ela, nawe ona asolelwe na jikanisa okulibhata neswe okuliyeka libhala lyakula kulya likolya linu ni lyokukuma. Linu ni kwa likukusho lya Lata bhugenyi omwene nokwenda kweswe no kusakila.
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
Echikenga gunu ati wonawona katula okwaika eswe okukuma gunu echieka.
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Echigega no kukola echochili heshima, atali ela imbele ya Lata bhugenyi, nawe ona imbele ya bhanu.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.
Lindi ona chamutuma omuili oundi amwi nabho. Chamulegejishe kwiya ngendo nyamfu, nachamulolele ali nobhwila ingulu ye milimu myamfu. Nolo woli akomee kwainsonga yo bhukalaliye bhunene bhunu alinabhwo ingulu yemwe.
23 Whether [any do enquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be enquired of, they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ.
Ingulu ya Tito, omwene ni mukosi wejasu ingulu yemwe. Labha kwa bhaili bheswe, abhatumwa na makanisa. Nibhechibhalo ku Kristo.
24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Kulwejo, mubholeshe elyenda lyemwe, na mwoleshe mumakanisa insonga yo kwikuya kweswe ingulu yemwe.
