< 2 Corinthians 8 >
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
Achalongo achinjetu tukusaka kummanyisya yatite Akunnungu kwapa ntuuka mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ja chilambo cha ku Makedonia.
2 how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
Ŵakukulupilila ŵa kweleko ŵalinjikwe nnope kwa kulagaswa nambo kusangalala kwao kwaliji kwakukulungwa mpaka ŵapundile kupeleganya mwakupunda kwa ntima wa unonyelo namuno ŵaliji ŵakulaga nnope.
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Isyene ngunsalila umboni, ŵapelegenye kwa ukombole wao ni ŵapundile kupeleganya kupunda ukombole wao ni nganapagwa mundu juŵaakanganyichisye nambo kwa kusaka kwao achinsyene.
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
Ŵatuchondelele kwannope tukamulangane nawo kwatumichila ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵaali ku Yudea.
5 This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
Nganapanganya mpela itutite kulolela, nambo ŵalityosisye achinsyene kaje kwa Ambuje ni kwetuwe, malinga ni yaikuti pakwanonyela Akunnungu.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Ni twanchondelele che Tito juŵagatandite masengo go ankamusye ŵanyamwe mmalichisye masengo go gakupeleganya kwa ntima wa unonyelo.
7 But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
Ŵanyamwe nkupanganya yambone mu yaili yose, mchikulupi ni ukombole wa kuŵecheta ni umanyilisi ni kuchalila kose ni unonyelo wenu kukwetu. Kwayele tukunchondelela nkole unonyelo wakupunda mmasengo gakupeleganya ga.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Nganguŵecheta kwa kunkanganyichisya nambo ngusaka kuulola unonyelo wenu iŵaga uli wausyene kwa kuulandanya ni unonyelo wa ŵandu ŵane.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe muumanyi ntuuka wa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, namuno ŵaliji ŵakusichila nambo ŵalitesile ŵakulaga kwa liwamba lyenu kuti kwa kulaga kwao ŵanyamwe ntendekwe ŵakusichila.
10 I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
None pa liloŵe li ngunshauli yelei, ili yambone kukwenu kumalichisya aila imwaitandisye mwacheso. Ŵanyamwe mwaliji ŵandanda kupeleganya ni mwaliji ŵandanda kuŵa ni lung'wanu lwakutenda yeleyo.
11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
Sambano mmalichisye masengo gakupeleganya go mpela ila imwatite pakuŵa ni lung'wanu lwa kukamusya. Ni kwa lung'wanu lulalula lumwakwete lwakukamusya, iyoyo peyo mmalichisye masengo go kwa kupeleganya malinga ni ukombole wenu.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
Iŵaga mundu akwete ntima wa kupeleganya, Akunnungu akupochela chindu chakutyosya cho kwakuchilola achila chakwete, ngaŵa kwakuchilola achila changanakola.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Nningwa wangu ngaŵa kuti ŵanyamwe nlajeje kuti ŵane apocheje ngwamba nambo iŵeje imo.
14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
Aka katemaka ŵanyamwe nkwete indu yaijinji nnope, nipele mwakamuchisye aŵala ŵaikwasoŵa. Ni ŵanyawo patachipata indu yejinji akombole kunkamuchisya ŵanyamwe yaikunsoŵa. Ni pelepo chiiŵe imo.
15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti pakusala, “Juŵakumbikenye yejinji nganakola yakupunda, ni ajula juŵakumbikenye kanondi nganakola litika.”
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵaŵapele che Tito ntima wa kunkamusya ŵanyamwe mpela indite kunkamusya une.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Ngaŵa kuti ajiitichisye itwaŵendile pe nambo ŵaliji ni lung'wanu lwalukulungwa lwa kunkamusya mpaka ŵasachile nsyene kwika kukwenu.
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
Pamo nawo tukunlajisya njetu, jwakulapikwa ni mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kwa kulalichila Ngani Jambone.
19 Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
Kupunda gelego asagulikwe ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kuti alongane ni uweji patukuijausya indu yetyosekwe, masengo gatukugapanganya kwa ligongo lya ukulu wa Ambuje ni kulosya kuti tukusaka kwakamusya ŵandu.
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Tuchilisepusyaga ni liloŵe li kuti mundu jwalijose ngasakola ni chachili chose chakutulalatila yankati itukuti kuutumichila ntuuka wu.
21 Having regard for honourable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Tukusaka kupanganya yambone ngaŵa kwa Ambuje pe nambo ni kwa ŵandu nombe.
22 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 has in you.
Kwayele tukunnajisya nlongo njetu jwine pamo ni ŵanyawo jwatunlinjile ni kunkulupilila, nombejo akusaka kwannope kunkamusya, ni sambano akulajila kwannope pakuŵa akwete chikulupi chachikulungwa ni ŵanyamwe.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
Che Tito jwele ali njangu, jwatukutumichila pamo kwaligongo lyenu. Nambo kwagamba achalongo achinjetu ŵane ŵaŵili ŵakulongana nawo wo ŵelewo ali ŵantenga kutyochela mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito nombewo akunchimbichisya Kilisito.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Sambano mwalosye ŵandu wo unonyelo wenu kuti mipingo jao ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito jiŵatumile amanyilile kuti patukulilapa kwaligongo lyenu kuli kwakusyene.
