2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Mmanyi bulungi nga tekinneetaagisa kubawandiikira ku nsonga y’okuweereza abatukuvu;
2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
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 But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
Nabatumira abooluganda okwenyumiriza kwaffe ku lwammwe kuleme kuba kwa bwereere mu nsonga eyo, mube beetegefu nga bwe nagamba.
4 so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confidence.
Si kulwa ng’ab’e Makedoniya bajja nange ne babasanga nga temwetegese, ne tuswala, ne bwe tutaboogerako nti ye mmwe, mu kubeesiga mmwe.
5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
Kyenvudde ndowooza nga kiŋŋwanidde okubagumya abooluganda, bano babasookeyo, bateeketeeke ekirabo kye mwasuubiza, ekirabo ekyo kitegekebwe kibeere omukisa so si ekintu eky’okuwalirizibwa.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Naye mujjukire nti, “Asiga ekitono alikungula kitono, naye asiga ekinene alikungula kinene.”
7 Each person should give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; 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 make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, 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 As it is written, "He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." (aiōn g165)
nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Yasaasaanya, yagabira abaavu. Obutuukirivu bwe bubeerera emirembe gyonna.” (aiōn g165)
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, 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 you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
Anaabagaggawazanga mu buli kintu, ekyebazisa Katonda mu ffe.
12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also 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 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution 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 while they themselves also, with petition on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
era n’okubasabira kwe babasabira kubanga babaagala nnyo olw’ekisa kya Katonda eky’ekitalo kye mulina;
15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.
Katonda yeebazibwe olw’ekirabo ekitayogerekeka.
