2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;
Tiyaka muenga mmanyai, kaka ni dada, kup'etela neema ya K'yara yaipisibhu mu mmakanisa gha Makedonia.
2 how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
Magono gha papipi gha mateso, bhuingi fulaha ya bhene ni kuyongeseka kwa umasikini wa bhene uhoguili utajili ubhaa ni ukalimu.
3 For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord,
Kwandabha nishudila yakuwa bhapisili kwa kadili kabhabhuesyai, ni kuzidi kabhabhwesyai.
4 beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:
Ni kwa hiali yabhene bhabhene kwa kutusihi kuingi, bhatusomili kwajia ya kushiliki kup'etela huduma eye kwa bhaumini.
5 and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God.
Eye yatokili hee kutya katatalajilai. Badala yaki, kuanza bhajipisili bha bhene kwajia ya Bwana. kabhele bhajipisili bha bhene kwa tete kup'etela mapenzi gha K'yara.
6 Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.
Kaabhele tan'jobhili Tito, yaayele tiyali ayandili mbhombho eye, kuleta kup'etela mu utimilifu mu litendo ele la ukalimu panani payhomo.
7 But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
Ila muenga mna ubhuingi kup'etela kila khenu kup'etela imani, kup'etela lujobhelu, kup'etela umaalifa, kup'etela ubidii, ni kup'etela upendo bhuinu kwajia ya tete. Efe kabhele mhakikisiayi kujo mwiya ni ubhuingi kabhele kup'etela litendo ele la ukalimu.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Nijobha ele so kutya amuli. Badala yaki, nijobha ele ili kup'hema uhalisi wa upendo bhuinu kwa kulenganisya ni shauku ya bhanu bhangi.
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 become rich.
Kwandabha mmanyili neema ya Bwana wayhoto Yesu Kristu. Hata kujobhela ayele tajili, kwajia ya yhomo ayele masikini. Yakuwa kup'etela umasikini wa muene ili muenga mubhwesya kuya bhatajili.
10 And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.
Kup'etela lijambo ele nikabhapela ushauli wawilota kubhasaidila. Mwaka ummonga waulotili, mwayandili hee tu kubhomba lijambo. Lakini mwatamene kuliketa.
11 But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.
Henu mlikamilisiayi. Kutya katayele ni shauku ni nia ya kuliketa, kabhele, ko, ngamwabhwesili kulileta mu ukamilifu, kwa kadili ka mwibhuesya.
12 For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.
Kwandabha muye ni shauku ya kuketa lijambo ele, lijambo ele, lijambo linofu tu nalikakubalika. Lasima li yhema panani pa khela kaayenaku munu, so panani adulili munu.
13 For [I say] not [this], that others may be eased, [and] ye distressed:
Kwandabha mbhombho eye so kwajia ya bhamana bhabhwesyai kuya nafuu ni muenga mulenubhwai. Badala yaki, ni usawa.
14 but by equality; your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:
Bhuingi bhuinu kwa magono gha henu ulasaidila kwa khela kabhilonda. Eye ndo kabhele kujo ubhuingi wa bhene ubhwesyai kusaidila mahitaji ghinu, ni kujo kuyelai ni usawa.
15 as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.
Eye ndo kutya kaayandiki; “Muene yaayele ni fhingi eyele hee ni khenu kihokela kakabakili ni muene yaayele ni kidusu ayele lepi ni uhitaji bhuoa bhola.”
16 But thanks be to God, which putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Ila ashukulibhuayi K'yara, yaabhekili n'teema mugati mwa Tito n'teema bhola bhola wa uyeleni bidii ya kujali ghaniyele naghu kwajia ya yhomo.
17 For indeed he accepted our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord.
Kwandabha so tu ayop'holili maombi ghitu, bali kabhele ayele ni bidii kup'etela ni maombi aghu. Ahidili kwa muenga kwa hiali ya yumuene.
18 And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches;
Tuntumili pamonga ni muene ndhongo yaisifibhwa miongoni mwa makanisa kwajia ya mbhombho ya muene ya kutangasya injili.
19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to shew] our readiness:
Tee naa tu, ila kabhele aghagulibhu ni makanisa kusafili ni tete kup'etela kup'henda sehemu syoa sela litendo ele la ukalimu. Eye ndo kwa utukufu wa Bwana muene ni kwa shauku ya yhoto ya kusaidila.
20 Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us:
Tiyepuka ni ubhuesekano wa yuoayhola ipasibhwa kulalamika kup'etela tete mu ukalimu obho watup'hendili.
21 for we take thought for things honourable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Tito lawangalifu kuketa kya kiyele kya heshima, so tu palongolo pa Bwana, nikabhele palongolo pa bhanu.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you.
Kabhele tunkantuma ndongho yhongi pamonga ni bhene. Tumpemili mala singi, na tumbuene kujo yaayele ni shauku kwajia ya mbhombho singi. Hata henu ayele ni bidii zaidi kwa ndabha ya ujasili ubhaa ya ayele nabhu mugati bhuinu.
23 Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ.
Kwa habali ya Tito, Muene nshilika njangu ni mbhomba mbhombho njangu kwajia ya yhomo. Kujo tya kwa bhalongo bhitu, bhitumibhwa ni makanisa. Nando bha heshima bha Kristu.
24 Shew ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.
Ndo mbhalasyai upendo bhuinu, na mlasyai ni mmakanisa ndabha ya majifuno ghitu kwajia ya yhomo.
