2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
Ti kpiiba n bua yin bandi U tienu ŋanbili n doagidi Maseduna jandiena yaaba po maama.
2 That in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality.
Ba leni ban den la fala boncianla, bi den ye leni li pamancianli. ba leni bi luokandi kaama kuli, bi den fidi ki puni mi todima bonŋanla.
3 For to [their] power, I bear testimony, and even beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of themselves;
N tie bi siedo, bi den puni leni bi pala kuli nani yua kuli n fidi maama, ke li den pendi ki cie ba bi fidu bianu.
4 Praying us with much entreaty, that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
Bi go den mia ti leni mi tiginma ke tin tieni bi po li ŋanbili ban moko n fidi ki todi U tienu ni gagidiŋanba.
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:
Bi den tieni ki cie ba tin den tama maama kelima bi den kpa puni bi yula O Diedo, ki den yuandi ki puni bi yula tinba leni U tienu yanbuama.
6 So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
Lan wani, ti den mia Tita wan ŋanbi ki dudi yaa tuonŋanli ke o den cili yeni.
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.
Nani yin ye liiga li bonli kuli nni maama yeni, yaalin tie yi dandanli nni, mi maama nni, mi bandima nni, li yankoaliali li bonli kuli nni, leni yi buama ti po, yin tieni ŋania ki yaa go ye liiga laa tuonŋanli yaa niini.
8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
Laa tie ke n bili yi po ñoabonli ka, ama n togidi yi nitoaba n pia yaa yankoali. ki bua ki biigi ki lee, yi buama ya tie buamoanma.
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.
Kelima yi bani ti Diedo Jesu Kilisiti ŋanbili, wan yua n den tie piado, o den tua luodo kelima yi yaa po. lan tie O luoma, nni yin tua piada.
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.
N wani yi min la maama li po; n la ke lani n dagidi leni yi. yinba yaaba n den kpa cili ki tendi yi todima. lan bebe ka, yi den pia laa yantiali hali jeli.
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.
Yin tieni ki dudi yin den cili yaa tuonŋanli leni yaa yankoali ke yi den cili ki ba.
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.
Li yankoali yaa ye, li tie yaali n dagidi U tienu po. kelima o baa kuli kan fidi ki teni wan kaa pia yaala.
13 For [I mean] not that other men should be eased, and you burdened:
Laa tie ke n bua yin kpaadi yin pia yaala ka ki teni nitoaba; ama n bua li bonli kuli n yaa da leni li yala.
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:
ke moala n po yin pia yaala ke li kandi n tua todima ban luo yaala Ke ban moko n pia yaali ke li kandi n todi yi moko yin luo naani, lani n tie li bonli kuli n dagidi cain.
15 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no want.
Nani lan diani maama: yua n wodi boncianla naa pia ke li kandi, yua mo n wodi waamu laa poadi o.
16 But thanks [be] to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
U tienu n baa i tuondi leni wan tieni Tita moko yaa pali nni laa tiginma yi po.
17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went to you.
Kelima o den tuo ti miabu, leni li yankoali. leni o yantiaceli, o ñani ti kani ki baa gedi yi poo.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;
Ti soani o leni ti kpiilo yua ke bi niba kuli tendi o po o siedi a jandiena nni kelima wan tuuni yaa tuonŋanli o labaaŋamo wangimi po.
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:
Wane ke a Jandiena go den gandi wan n tua ti yegini n lielo mi naa todima tuonli yaa sancenli nni. tin tiendi yaa tuonli kelima O Diedo yaa yeli kpiagidi po. ti go bua ki doagidi ki wani yi ke ti moko yama ye lien ni.
20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
Ti tiendi yeni kelima tii bua o ba kuli n sugi ki joagini ti yela, kelima laa todicianma po, yaa tuonli ke n gobidi leni i moamoani.
21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Kelima tii lingi yaali ŋani O Diedo nintuali bebe ka, ama bi niba moko yaa nintuali.
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.
Ti taani ki soani, bani leni ti kpiilo yua ke ti biigi yaama n kaa wa ki sua ke o pia li yankoali ke li go yaabidi ki pugini kelima o dugidi yi po n yaabi ki da maama.
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.
Yaali n tie Tita mo, o tie ti tuonsoanlielo leni ti cianka yi kani. ti kpiiba yaaba n sieni mo tie a jandiena n gandi ki soani yaaba yi kani Kilisiti kpiagidi po.
24 Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Yin waanba yin buaba maama a jandiena yaaba kuli nintuali, ke bani bi yaaba n bandi ke ti sa moamoane leni tin jigini ti yula maama bi nintuali kelima yi po.
