2 Corinthians 8
1 Now, my fellow believers, I want to tell you [what happened because of] God’s [acting] kindly [in the lives] of [the believers in] the congregations [here] in Macedonia [province].
T eshuwotso! Ik'o Mek'odonin fa'a Ik' maa moowwotssh bí imts s'aato itsh daniyo shunfone.
2 Even though [the non-believers here] have been causing the believers to suffer severely, the believers are always very joyful. [Although they] are very poor, [they gave] very generously [to help other believers].
Bowere ay gond bek'on faderne, b́woteferoru bogen'úo ayidek't eene, ayidek't tugurtswotsi bo wotiyaloru dab een teudo woshrne.
3 [I know that this is true], because I have seen for myself that they not only gave [money] [EUP] that they were able [to give], they gave [so much money that they did] not even keep enough [to buy what they needed for themselves]. Without anyone telling them [to share their possessions],
Bo faltsok'onat bofaltsoniyere bogo bo shunon bo imtsok'o taa boosh gawitwe,
4 they themselves kept requesting us to let them participate in what [other believers] are doing in [sending a gift of money to] [EUP] God’s people [in Judea province].
Yhud datsatse beyiru Kirstiyaniwots ash tep'i gowo boosh baziyerawok'o kup'idek't noon bok'oni.
5 I thought [that they would give only a little of their money, but] they did much [more than that]. First, they told the Lord [Jesus] that they wanted to do [what pleases him. After that, they told] me that they wanted to do [whatever I thought was good for them to do, because they were sure that] would be what God [wanted them to do].
Bowere bo k'oltso no nokotirwoniyere boge, shin shin botoko doonzosh boimi, manats dabtnu Ik' shunok'on botoko noosh imrne.
6 So, because Titus was the one who [helped you to] begin [gathering the money] [EUP, MTY] for your gift, I urged him to also [help you] finish [collecting the rest of] your generous and loving gift.
Finan shin shinon fintso Titoyi b́ wottsotse andoor bo teudi finan s'uwaats de'am b́ betsitwok'o bín k'onitwe
7 You are doing very well in so many [other] ways. [God’s Spirit enables you to] believe that [God] will [do miracles. His Spirit has given you the ability to] tell [God’s message to others. His Spirit makes you able to] know things that he reveals to you. You eagerly [want to help people], and you love us [(exc)] very much. [So now], try to also do well in getting your generous [gift of money] [EUP] [ready to send to the believers in Judea province].
It imnetiyon, noon keew keewon, danon, kup'on, nooke dan itdek'ts shunon jam keewono bogfte, tewd dooyi finannowere it bogetwok'o wotowe.
8 I am not commanding you [to do this]. But [because I have seen how believers in] other [places] are eager [to help other believers who do not have] ([what they need/enough to live on]), I want you similarly to show that you love others sincerely.
Eshe, tietir azazonaliye, ernmó k'oshuwots imon kup' woto it kup' wotonton no nohir it shuno ar b́ woto shu'ar s'iilosha etaatniye.
9 You already know [how much] our Lord Jesus [did for you] that you did not deserve. Everything [in heaven] belonged to him. But in order to benefit you, [he left all of those things behind and became a human being. Here on earth he had] very few possessions [of his own]. But because he became poor like that, he is [able to cause] you [(pl)] to become [spiritually] rich.
It no doonz Iyesus Krstos s'aato danfte bí eegoru dab gaaletsk b́ wotiyaloru bí tugurets wotat it galetswotsi it wotituwok'o itsha ett tugretsk b́ woti.
10 So, [as you think of our Lord’s example, I will tell you] what I think that you should do in this matter [of giving money. As you know], last year, because you desired [to give money to help God’s people in Judea province], you began [collecting money] [EUP].
Han jagosh itsh sheeng araat be'ets izo itsh imetwe, beshts dúron im mec'r b́ woterawo han k'alosh shini geetswots itne b́ teshi.
11 So now you should finish [collecting] the money [EUP] that you began [to gather]. In that way, [everyone will know that you are just] as ready to finish [collecting this gift] as you were to begin collecting it. Give what you are able to give.
Eshe imosh it detsts shúno finats jitsit s'uwo maants b́ bodetwok'o it faltsok'on it gawts man and k'aluwere.
12 [Keep in mind that] if you really want to [give something to help others], whatever any one of you is [able to give] will be pleasing [to God. God does not expect his people to give more] than they can afford to give.
Imosh sheeng shun detstso b́ beyal ashman tewdi doon b́ detstso b́ imala boko bíangalon b́ímíshaliye.
13 I do not mean that [you should give so much to help others that] you yourselves do not have what you need. No, what I want is that [both you and others] will have what [you need].
Hanowere ti etir it únets taalo it wotitwok'owa bako it imon it kic'efere k'oshwots bín kash bodek'isha etaatniyaliye
14 Right now, when you have (more [than you need/] ) and [the believers in Judea] do not have (enough/all that they need), [with your gift you will enable them to have enough. Maybe some day] when you do not have (enough/all that you need) and they have more than they need, they will [be able to] help you. Then everyone will have enough (OR, In that way each will share alike).
It it kic'or bogizo it kic'ats b́ jinetwok'o and it gizo bok'ic'ats jinee, hank'on it dagotse manuts woto beetwe.
15 [If that happens, the result will be like it is written] {[like someone/Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures about the time when God provided manna for his people], If someone gathered a lot [of manna], he still did not have more than he needed, [because he gave some to someone who did not have enough]. And those who gathered only a little [manna] still had all that they needed [LIT], [because others who gathered more than they needed gave some manna to them].
Hanwere, «Ayi ko'itswotssh oreratse, múk' ko'itswotsshowere shapratse» ett guut'etsok'one.
16 [So now I am sending Titus to visit you again]. God has caused him to be just as eager [to help you prepare your gift] as I am. I thank God for that.
Taa itsh t shiyanirwok'o Titowere itsh b́ nibon b́ shiyanituwok'o woshts Ik'o údewe.
17 [He is going there], not only because we urged him to go, but because he himself is very eager [to visit you again].
Tito it maants b́weet b́ took shunon tuut gene'ona bako no nok'onts mec'roshaliye.
18 I am sending with Titus another believer [whom you know well]. All the groups of believers [in this area] think highly of him because he has [faithfully taught] the good message [about Christ].
Doo shishiy nabon Ik'maa jamooke údetso eshúwo bínton woshitwone.
19 Not only that, but he was appointed by the congregations [in this area] {the congregations [in this area] appointed him} to [go] to Jerusalem with us [(exc)]. He [will go] with us [when we take] the generous gift of money [EUP] [to the believers in Jerusalem. We are taking this] gift to honor the Lord [Jesus] and to show them that we all [very much] want to [help them].
Haniyere dambon eshuwan no sheeng finan doonzo mangosh nofinorat finosh nodetsts sheeng shuno nokitsor noonton amt nofiinman b́ tep'etwok'o Ik'i moowwots n marat'etsoniye.
20 [The believers have] given money [EUP] generously. So, [by sending that fellow believer along with Titus] to take the money [to Jerusalem], we are trying to make sure that no one will be able to accuse us [(exc) of taking some of the money for ourselves].
Tewdi doon imets gizan nok'eezor noshútso b́ t'afrawok'o no atso kordek'etwone.
21 [I say that] because we [(exc)] want to make sure that the Lord [God] will see that what we [(exc)] do is right, and other people will see it, too.
Noo nogeyiru keewo doonzo shinatse s'uz b́woterawo ashuwots shinatse kááw wotts keewo k'ale.
22 Furthermore, there is also another believer [here] whom we are sending [to you along with the two] men [whom I have just mentioned]. Many times I have seen his good work [for the Lord], and I know that he is eager [to serve the Lord]. Now, because he knows for sure that you [want to give this gift the same as other believers do], he is even more eager than he was before [to go with the two other men].
Ayoto ay weeron fadere kup'at fintso wotat daatsetso no'eshuwi Titowi bonton woshitwone, bí itatse b́detsts imnetiyo een b́wottsotse and finann iti tep'osh b́detsts kup'at fino awurtsooniyere boge.
23 As for Titus, [I have chosen him because] he is my partner, and he has worked faithfully with me [to help you]. As for the other two men, the congregations [in this area] are sending them as their messengers. These two men honor Christ [by everything they do].
Tito jango dano b́geyitka wotiyal itn tep'osh taanton finirwo, fini weeron ttohe, bínton tohaat weyiru k'oshwots jango b́wotiyalowere bo Ik'i moowwotsatse naashuwots, Krstos mangosh need'tswotsiye.
24 So then, show them that you truly love [others], and [in that way] help other congregations to understand [why] we [(exc)] are always saying such good things about you.
Mansh it shúno boosh kitswere, hank'on it shunonat itatse nodetsts it'o k'awtsalko b́ woterawok'o Ik'i maa jamwotssh kitsitute.
