2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
Mini vayi ki sun duye to ndi alherin Rji wa bano ni Ikilisiyoyin ni Makidoniya.
2 That in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality.
Ni ton kekle ya wa bi to ni se suron ni ya wabato, anoba gbugbu'u gri wa ba noni suron riri
3 For to [their] power, I bear testimony, and even beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of themselves;
U mi lha niyiwu bano bayasuwa mbo ni yo sur mba zan kpe wa ba hei ni wu. ni kpayeme ni sur mba.
4 Praying us with much entreaty, that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
U ni bre ta ni sur riri duba no ba ton waba ka mba ibi du ba yi tayarwa ini hidima ga bi hu Rji.
5 And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God:
U wayi ana hei na waki yosuron u baguci no tumba ni Rji riko u nita ni kpayeme ni Rji
6 So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
U ki bre Titus wa riga hei ni mi ndu yi ka kle ndu'a niyi.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing], [in] faith and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
U bi riga kri nimikpi wu ban gaskiya ndi tere, nito, ni mindu tukuru, nimi kpayeme ni ta. Ahei naki, bitabata ni habaka nimi duyi wu no (bayasuwa)
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
Me tere naki ana hei neme tere niyiwu ni gbegblen na wa naki, me tere nime tsar sahihancin kpayeme ni kwantata ni himmar ibru ndi.
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 be rich.
U bi to alheri Ubangijinku Yesu Almasihu, u naki me ahei ni arziki nda k'mati wu ya ni tumbi domin hi tu taulauci ma biyi bi ka k'ma ti bi arziki.
10 And in this I give [my] advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
Nitu alamariyi me noyi mer waanizoyi. Nisai wa kle binati kps megye na, ama bi yo surbi ni tei U.
11 Now therefore finish the doing [of it]; that as [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out of that which ye have.
Bi kle u zizan'a. Na wa bina hei ni suron ni kwazo u ti naki niton ki, bikayo suron ndi tiye nikle ma dede ni gbegblen mbi.
12 For if there is first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to what a man hath, [and] not according to what he hath not.
U bi tayo suron ndi bi tie ndu yi wakpe wugir ni kpayeme ni ubi ani hei daidai kpe wa ndi ahei ni wu, ana kpe wa a hama ni wu'a na.
13 For [I mean] not that other men should be eased, and you burdened:
Wayi ana wani kpe wa ba nawata ni yiu du bari fe sauki mana. U ani ta hei toki, wani bi duba fe daidai- tuwa.
14 But by an equality, [that] now at this time your abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality:
Ison bi gbugbu'u zizo'a ani noyi kpe wabason. Wa naki ni bar mba, ani yada na kpe wa bi son, wa ani zama kpe u biya bukata mba.
15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no want.
Ahei na wa ba nha. “Eri wa hei ni kpewu bra na hei nikpe wa ani don burna, u wa ahei niwu fime ana wa hama na
16 But thanks [be] to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
U gyir ga Rji wa ayoni suron Titus imre u kula ni yi kama yadda mi hei wa ni tumbi.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went to you.
Ana bre mbu kadai akpana U ati ni kpeyeme suron ma naki. Aye ni yi ni kpayeme makima.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;
U ki ton wawu vayimbu wa ki kpayeme niwu ni du Ikilisiyoyi du ma ni bla tre Baci.
19 And not [that] only, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind:
Ana wayi nika kle na amma Ikilisiyoyi ba cu u du nu ta hi hidima u didin ma u alheri wayi domin gbrai Rji san ni niya mbu
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
U ki klu kina duba na to ta hla trena game ni alheri wa ki zre ni bla ni ndina.
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
A he ni suron mbu du tati kpe u bima ba ni shishi Rji ni kakle ba ni shishi indi me.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved [to be] diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.
Kiton vayimbu ri tare ni ba ki tsar u to nikon gbugbu'u, ki to wa hei ni himma ni indu. Wa a ba yondu gbugbuu wa ba yo du ti. Zizan me a kara ni himma sabo ni amincewa wa ahe niu game ni yi.
23 If [any inquire] concerning Titus, [he is] my partner and fellow-helper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of], [they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ.
Ni wawu Titus a kpan wu zre mu ni kpan wadunmu don biyi. Umir vayi mbu, ba ton ba yir ni Ikilisiyoyi babi hei ni daraja ga Almasihu.
24 Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Naki bika kpayeme ni ba ni tsor ikilisiyoyi ba kpe u se suron tawu game ni yi.
