2 Corinthians 9
1 For indeed, concerning the ministry that [is] for the holy ones, it is superfluous for me to write to you,
Mmanyi bulungi nga tekinneetaagisa kubawandiikira ku nsonga y’okuweereza abatukuvu;
2 for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared a year ago, and your zeal stirred up the greater part,
kubanga mmanyi nga bwe mwagala ennyo okuyamba, ne mikwano gyaffe wano mu Makedoniya nabategeezaako nga nnenyumiriza ku lwammwe nti ab’omu Akaya babadde beetegefu okuviira ddala mu mwaka ogwayita, era obumalirivu bwammwe bwakubiriza bangi.
3 and I sent the brothers, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, you may be ready,
Nabatumira abooluganda okwenyumiriza kwaffe ku lwammwe kuleme kuba kwa bwereere mu nsonga eyo, mube beetegefu nga bwe nagamba.
4 lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we may be put to shame (that we do not say—you) in this same confidence of boasting.
Si kulwa ng’ab’e Makedoniya bajja nange ne babasanga nga temwetegese, ne tuswala, ne bwe tutaboogerako nti ye mmwe, mu kubeesiga mmwe.
5 Therefore I thought [it] necessary to exhort the brothers, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.
Kyenvudde ndowooza nga kiŋŋwanidde okubagumya abooluganda, bano babasookeyo, bateeketeeke ekirabo kye mwasuubiza, ekirabo ekyo kitegekebwe kibeere omukisa so si ekintu eky’okuwalirizibwa.
6 And [remember] this: he who is sowing sparingly, will also reap sparingly; and he who is sowing in blessings, will also reap in blessings;
Naye mujjukire nti, “Asiga ekitono alikungula kitono, naye asiga ekinene alikungula kinene.”
7 each one, according as he purposes in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver,
Buli omu akola nga bw’asazeewo mu mutima gwe, si lwa nnaku, newaakubadde olw’okuwalirizibwa, kubanga Katonda ayagala oyo agaba n’essanyu.
8 and God [is] able to cause all grace to abound to you, that in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound to every good work,
Katonda ayinza okwaza ekisa kyonna gye muli, bulijjo mubeerenga n’ebibamala byonna mu buli kintu nga musukkirira mu mulimu gwonna omulungi,
9 according as it has been written: “He dispersed abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness remains throughout the age,” (aiōn g165)
nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Yasaasaanya, yagabira abaavu. Obutuukirivu bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.” (aiōn g165)
10 and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
Kubanga oyo awa omulimi ensigo okusiga, ate n’amuwa n’emmere ey’okulya, anaayazanga ensigo yammwe era n’agyongerako, era anaayongeranga ebibala eby’obutuukirivu.
11 being enriched to all liberality in everything, which works thanksgiving through us to God,
Anaabagaggawazanga mu buli kintu, ekyebazisa Katonda mu ffe.
12 because the ministry of this service not only is supplying the wants of the holy ones, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
Kubanga omulimu gw’obuweereza buno tegukoma ku kuyamba batukuvu abali mu kwetaaga kyokka, kusukkirira mu kwebaza okungi eri Katonda.
13 through the proof of this ministry glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,
Olw’obukakafu obuvudde mu buweereza obwo, Katonda agulumizibwa olw’okugonda okw’okwatula kwammwe eri Enjiri ya Kristo, ne mu kugaba kwe mwalaga mu bye mwabawa, n’eri abantu bonna,
14 and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God on you;
era n’okubasabira kwe babasabira kubanga babaagala nnyo olw’ekisa kya Katonda eky’ekitalo kye mulina;
15 thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!
Katonda yeebazibwe olw’ekirabo ekitayogerekeka.
