2 Corinthians 8
1 And we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God, that has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
Bandeko, tolingi koyebisa bino ndenge nini Nzambe atalisaki ngolu na Ye epai ya Mangomba ya Masedwane.
2 because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality;
Atako bazalaki na mikakatano ya ndenge na ndenge, kasi batondisamaki na esengo oyo eleka ndelo; mpe kati na bobola na bango ya makasi, bapesaki makabo mingi koleka.
3 because, according to [their] power, I testify, and above [their] power, they were willing of themselves,
Nazali kotatola ete bapesaki kolanda makoki na bango, mpe bapesaki kutu koleka. Bapesaki yango na kotindika te
4 with much plea calling on us to receive the favor and the fellowship of the ministry to the holy ones,
mpe basengaki biso kutu na molende nyonso ete tosalela bango ngolu ya kosangana elongo na biso kati na mosala ya kosunga basantu.
5 and not according as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the LORD, and to us, through the will of God,
Basalaki koleka ndenge tokanisaki: bamipesaki liboso, bango moko, epai ya Nkolo, mpe sima, epai na biso, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe.
6 so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he began before, so also he may also finish this favor to you,
Boye, tosengaki na Tito ete akomisa kino na suka mosala yango ya kosunga, ndenge abandaki yango kati na bino.
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;
Kasi mpo ete bozali kokoba kokende liboso kati na makambo nyonso lokola kondima, liloba, boyebi, molende kati na makambo nyonso, bolingo na biso mpo na bino, tomoni ete boluka mpe kokende liboso kati na mosala yango ya kosunga.
8 I do not speak according to command, but because of the diligence of others, and proving the genuineness of your love,
Nazali kopesa bino mitindo te, kasi nazali nde koluka komeka bosolo ya bolingo na bino na kokokanisa yango na molende ya bato mosusu.
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.
Pamba te boyebi ndenge nini Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, atalisaki ngolu na Ye epai na biso: Ye oyo azalaki mozwi, amikomisaki mobola mpo na bolamu na bino, mpo ete bokoma bazwi na nzela ya bobola na Ye.
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,
Boye, kati na likambo oyo etali kosunga, botala likanisi na ngai na tina na oyo eleki malamu mpo na bino: na mobu oyo esili koleka, bozalaki bato ya liboso, kaka mpo na kosunga te, kasi mpe mpo na kozwa mokano ya kosalaka bongo.
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,
Boye, bokokisa sik’oyo likambo yango kolanda makoki na bino; molende oyo bozalaki na yango mpo na kolinga kosunga, bomonisa yango mpe na kokokisaka likambo yango.
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;
Pamba te soki mokano ya malamu ezali, Nzambe andimaka likabo oyo moto apesi na motema malamu kolanda oyo azali na yango, kasi kolanda te oyo azali na yango te.
13 for I do not speak that for others [to be] released, and you pressured,
Posa na biso ezali te ya koluka ete bino bomona pasi mpo ete bato mosusu bazala na esengo, kasi ezali kaka ya koluka ete bokokana.
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,
Mpo na tango oyo, lokola bozali kati na bofuluki, bokoki kosunga bato na biloko oyo bazali na yango na bosenga. Mokolo mosusu, tango bango mpe bakozala kati na bofuluki, bakosunga bino na biloko oyo bokozala na yango na bosenga. Na ndenge wana nde bokokokana,
15 according as it has been written: “He who [gathered] much, had nothing over; and he who [gathered] little, had no lack.”
kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Moto oyo alokotaki ebele, alekelaki te; mpe oyo alokotaki moke, azangelaki te. »
16 And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,
Tika ete Nzambe apesamela matondi mpo ete atie kati na motema ya Tito bolingo monene mpo na bino, ndenge tozali na yango mpo na bino!
17 because he indeed accepted the exhortation, and being more diligent, he went forth to you of his own accord,
Pamba te Tito ayambaki na esengo makasi likanisi oyo topesaki ye ya koya epai na bino; mpe ezali na mokano na ye moko nde ayei epai na bino.
18 and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news [is] through all the assemblies,
Elongo na ye, tozali kotinda ndeko oyo Mangomba nyonso ekumisaka mpo na Sango Malamu.
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;
Lisusu, ezali Mangomba nde eponaki ye mpo ete azala moninga na biso ya mobembo kati na mosala oyo ya kosunga. Tozali kosala mosala yango mpo na lokumu ya Ye moko Nkolo, mpe mpo na kolakisa molende na biso ya kosunga bino.
20 avoiding this, lest anyone may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
Tozali kosala nyonso oyo ekoki mpo ete batonga biso te mpo na lolenge na biso ya kosalela ebele yango ya makabo.
21 providing right things, not only before the LORD, but also before men;
Pamba te totondi na posa makasi ya kozala na etamboli ezanga pamela, na miso ya Nkolo kaka te, kasi mpe na miso ya bato.
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,
Elongo na bango, tozali kotinda ndeko na biso, oyo tondimaka mbala na mbala bolingo na ye. Mpe na mbala oyo, azali na yango lisusu koleka, pamba te azali penza kotiela bino motema.
23 whether—about Titus—my partner and fellow-worker toward you, whether—our brothers, apostles of assemblies—glory of Christ;
Tito azali molingami mpe moninga na ngai ya mosala kati na bino, kasi bandeko na biso bazali batindami ya Mangomba mpe nkembo ya Klisto.
24 the showing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, show to them, even in the face of the assemblies.
Yango wana, bolakisa bango elembo ya bolingo na bino mpo ete Mangomba nyonso endima mpe eyeba ete tomikumisaka na pamba te na tina na bino liboso na bango.
