2 Corinthians 8
1 And we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God, that has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
Ndipo tsopano, abale, tikufuna kuti mudziwe za chisomo chimene Mulungu wapereka ku mipingo ya ku Makedoniya.
2 because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality;
Pakati pa mayesero owawitsa, chimwemwe chawo chosefukira ndi umphawi wawo otheratu, anapereka mowolowamanja kwambiri.
3 because, according to [their] power, I testify, and above [their] power, they were willing of themselves,
Motero ndikuchitira umboni kuti anapereka mmene akanathera, ndipo mwinanso kuposera mmene akathera kupereka. Anapereka mosakakamizidwa,
4 with much plea calling on us to receive the favor and the fellowship of the ministry to the holy ones,
ndipo anatipempha motiwumiriza kuti tiwapatse mwayi woti nawonso athandize anthu oyera mtima a ku Yudeya.
5 and not according as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the LORD, and to us, through the will of God,
Iwo anachita moposera mmene ife timayembekezera. Choyamba anadzipereka kwa Ambuye ndipo kenaka kwa ife monga mwa chifuniro cha Mulungu.
6 so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he began before, so also he may also finish this favor to you,
Choncho tinamupempha Tito kuti atsirize poti nʼkuti atayamba kale ntchito yachisomoyi pakati panu.
7 but even as in everything you abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace you may abound;
Popeza pa zinthu zonse munachita bwino, monga pachikhulupiriro, poyankhula, pachidziwitso, pakhama lambiri ndi pachikondi chanu pa ife, onetsetsani kuti muchitenso bwino pachisomo ichi chopereka.
8 I do not speak according to command, but because of the diligence of others, and proving the genuineness of your love,
Sindikukulamulirani, koma ndikufuna kuona ngati chikondi chanu nʼchoona pofananitsa ndi changu cha anthu ena.
9 for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you He became poor—being rich, that you may become rich by that poverty.
Pakuti mukudziwa chisomo cha Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, kuti ngakhale anali wolemera, koma chifukwa cha inuyo anasanduka wosauka, kuti umphawi wakewo, inuyo mulemere.
10 And I give an opinion in this: for this [is] expedient to you, who not only to do, but also to will, began before—a year ago,
Ndipo nawa malangizo anga pa zoyenera inu kuchita pa nkhaniyi. Chaka chatha munali oyamba, osati ongofuna kupereka kokha komanso okhala ndi mtima ofuna kupereka.
11 and now also finish doing [it], that even as [there is] the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which you have,
Tsopano tsirizani ntchitoyi, ndipo changu chanu chofunitsitsa kugwira ntchitoyi ndi kuyitsiriza chichitike molingana ndi zimene muli nazo.
12 for if the willing mind is present, it is well-accepted according to that which anyone may have, not according to that which he does not have;
Ndipo ngati mtima ofunitsitsa ulipo, mphatsoyo imalandiridwa molingana ndi zimene munthuyo ali nazo, osati zimene alibe.
13 for I do not speak that for others [to be] released, and you pressured,
Cholinga chathu sikuti tipeputse ena pamene inuyo mukuvutika, koma kuti pakhale kufanana.
14 but by equality, at the present time your abundance—for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,
Zambiri zimene muli nazo pakati panu muthandize nazo osowa, kuti nawonso akadzakhala nazo zambiri adzakuthandizeni pa zosowa zanu. Cholinga nʼkuchita mofanana,
15 according as it has been written: “He who [gathered] much, had nothing over; and he who [gathered] little, had no lack.”
monga kwalembedwa kuti, “Iye amene anatola zambiri sizinamutsalireko ndipo amene anatola pangʼono sizinamuchepere.”
16 And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,
Tithokoze Mulungu amene anayika mu mtima wa Tito changu chomwecho chimene ine ndili nacho pa inu.
17 because he indeed accepted the exhortation, and being more diligent, he went forth to you of his own accord,
Pakuti Tito sanangovomera kokha pempho lathu, koma yekha anafunitsitsa kwambiri kubwera kwa inu mwa iye yekha.
18 and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news [is] through all the assemblies,
Ndipo tikumutumiza pamodzi ndi mʼbale amene mipingo yonse yamuyamikira chifukwa cha utumiki wake wa Uthenga Wabwino.
19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveler, with this favor that is ministered by us, to the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;
Chowonjezera china nʼchakuti anasankhidwa ndi mipingo kuti atiperekeze pamene ife tikukapereka zopereka, zimene tikuchita pofuna kupereka ulemu kwa Ambuye mwini ndi kuonetsa kufunitsitsa kwathu pothandiza.
20 avoiding this, lest anyone may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
Tikufuna kupewa kutikayikira kulikonse za mmene tikuyendetsera mphatso zochulukazi.
21 providing right things, not only before the LORD, but also before men;
Pakuti tikuyesetsa kuchita zolondola, osati pamaso pa Ambuye pokha komanso pamaso pa anthu.
22 and we sent our brother with them, whom we proved being diligent many times in many things, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,
Kuwonjezera apo, tikuwatumiza pamodzi ndi mʼbale wathu, amene nthawi zambiri watitsimikizira mʼnjira zosiyanasiyana kuti ndi wachangu ndiponso chifukwa ali ndi chikhulupiriro chachikulu mwa inu.
23 whether—about Titus—my partner and fellow-worker toward you, whether—our brothers, apostles of assemblies—glory of Christ;
Kunena za Tito, ndiye mnzanga ndi wogwira naye ntchito pakati panu. Kunena za abale athu, ndiwo oyimirira mipingo ndi olemekezetsa Khristu.
24 the showing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, show to them, even in the face of the assemblies.
Choncho anthu amenewa atsimikizireni za chikondi chanu ndipo adziwe chifukwa chimene ife timakunyadirani, kuti mipingo yonse iwone chimenechi.
