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].
Ta ishato Xoossi Maqidooniyan diza ammaniza asas immida kiyatetha inte eranayssa ta koyayss.
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].
Istti daro metoti dishe daro ufa7ettida. Keehi manqqota gidikkoka daro kiyattida.
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],
Istti bees danda7etizayssa malane beess danda7etizayssafeka aathi immidayssa ta istta gishshi marikatayss.
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].
Yudan diza ammanizaytas maado immanas digetontta mala nuna keehi woossida.
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].
Istti nuni qopidayssafe bollara aathi oothida. Istti koyro bena Godas immida. Zaaridika Xoossa shene mala benaka nuusu immida.
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.
Hayssa oothoza koyro Titossay doommida gishshi ha7ika hayssa maado imoza izi polana mala nu iza woossidosu.
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].
Inte ammanon, hasa7an, eratethan, mino oothon, inte nuna siiqiza siiqon, wurso yoon aadhista. Hessaththoka kiyatetha oothonka aadhizayta gidite.
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.
Ta hessa gizay intena coo mela azazanas gidena. Gido attin hanko hara asay minni immizayssa intenara gatha beyishin inte siiqoy tumu gididayssa shaaka erenaskko.
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.
Inte nu Goda Yesus kiristoosa kiyatethi ereista.
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].
Hayssa ha hanozan taas lo7o gidi beettida zore ta intes immayss. Zilaythi inte imo xalala gidontta dishin immanas koyrope qopiday intenako.
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.
Hessa gishshi inte immanas koyidayssi polistana mala intes diza mala kase inte qopidayssa ha7i oothite.
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.
Asi immanas wozinape koyiko izadey kiyatethi immizayss ekketizay asi bees dizari mala immiko attin bees baynidayssafe immishin gidena.
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].
Ta hayssatho gizay inte wurikka gina gidana mala attin inte imon waayetishin harati shempana mala gaada gidena.
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).
Inte waayetishin istta miishey inte meto ashshana mala ha7i qasse inte miishey istta meto ashsho. Hessa malan inte giddon ginateth deyanayssako.
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].
Hessika “Daro shiishidades wodhdhibeyna; Guuthu shiishidadesika paccibeyna” geeteti geesha maxaafan xaafettida malako.
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.
Tani intes qopizayssa mala Titosayka intes wozinape qopana mala oothida Goday galateto.
17 [He is going there], not only because we urged him to go, but because he himself is very eager [to visit you again].
Titosay inteko bizay berika ba qofan ufayssanipe attin nuni iza woossida gishshi xalala gidena.
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].
Mishiracho qaala oothon woossa keethatan wurson dosettida ishaza nu izara gathi yedoosu.
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].
Hessafeka bollara hayssi nu ishay nuni hayssa lo7o oothoza Goda bonchos oothishinine nuni oothanas koyizayssa izas qonccisishin izi nunara biidi oothanas woossa keethati dooridadeko.
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].
Hayssa keyateth immettida miishaza nuni oykishin nu bolla ayko boroyka gakontta mala nuni naagetosu.
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.
Gaasoyka nuusu waana qofay Goda sintthan xalala gidontta asa sintthanka lo7o oothansiko.
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].
Daro wode daro miishen paacettid mino gidida nu isha Titosara nu iza yediday hessasikko. Izas inte bolla diza ammanoy daro gita gidida gishshi izi ha7i intena maadanas kasepe aathi koyees.
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].
Inte Titosa gishshi eranas koyko izi intena maadanas tanara oothizadekko. Izara issife biza hanko ishati qasse woossa keethati ba gishshi yedida Kiristoosa bonchos eqqidaytakko.
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.
Hessa gishshi inte isttas inte siiqo bessite. Inte hessaththo histiko inte siiqoyne nu intenan ceeqetiza ceeqetethay coo mela gidonttayssa inte woossa keethatas bessandista.
