1 Akorinitho 16
1 Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro wa mũhothi nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Ngai ũtariĩ ũũ: Ĩkagai ũrĩa ndeerire makanitha ma Galatia mekage.
BUT concerning what is collected for the saints, as I have instructed the churches of Galatia, so also do you.
2 Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũigaga mbeeca ta ũrĩa ũthũkũmi wake ũigana, agaciigaga, nĩguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngooka kũu gũtikanagĩe na mũhothi.
On each first day of the week let every one of you at his own house lay by and keep something of that which cometh unto his hands, lest when I come there be then collections.
3 Na ndaakinya-rĩ, andũ arĩa mũgaakorwo mũgathĩrĩirie nĩngamahe marũa ma kũmamenyithania na ndĩmatũme Jerusalemu na iheo cianyu.
And when I come, those whom you shall choose, them will I send with an epistle, that they may take your bounty to Urishlem.
4 Na kũngĩkoneka kwagĩrĩire o na niĩ thiĩ-rĩ, nĩngatwarana nao.
But if it be a fit work that I too go (thither), they also shall go with me.
5 Ndaarĩkia gũtuĩkanĩria Makedonia-rĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩngatuĩkanĩria kuo, nĩngooka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
But I will come to you when I shall have passed (round) from Makedunia: for I pass unto it, unto Makedunia.
6 Hihi ngaikara na inyuĩ gwa kahinda, o na kana njikare kũu hĩndĩ ya heho yothe, nĩguo mũkaahota kũndeithĩrĩria gũthiĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwakwa kũrĩa guothe ngaathiĩ.
And perhaps also I may remain with you, or I may winter with you, that you may lead me on to the place to which I shall go.
7 Ndikwenda kuonana na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩrahĩtũkĩra kũu, tondũ ngwĩhoka atĩ nĩtũgaikarania na inyuĩ kwa ihinda, Mwathani etĩkĩra.
For I will not now see you as I pass the way; for I hope to abide a time with you, if my Lord permit me.
8 No nĩngũikara gũkũ Efeso nginya hĩndĩ ya Bendegothito,
For I remain at Ephesos until the Pentecost.
9 tondũ ndĩmũhingũrĩre mweke mũnene wa kũruta wĩra mwega ũrĩ na uumithio, no nacio thũ nĩ nyingĩ.
For a great door is opened to me, which is full of labours, and the opposers are many.
10 Timotheo angĩũka-rĩ, menyererai nĩguo aikare kũu na inyuĩ atarĩ na guoya, nĩgũkorwo nĩ wĩra wa Mwathani araruta, o ta ũrĩa ndĩraruta.
But if Timotheos come among you, see that he may be with you without fear; for he doeth the work of the Lord, as I.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwaga kũmwamũkĩra. Mumagariei na thayũ nĩgeetha akinye kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩndĩmwetereire marĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
Wherefore let no man despise him, but conduct him in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for him with the brethren.
12 Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Apolo-rĩ: nĩndamũringĩrĩirie mũno ooke kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ. Nowe ndeendaga gũũka ihinda rĩu, no nĩarĩũka aagĩa na mweke.
But of Apolo, my brethren, I begged much to come to you with the brethren; nevertheless it was not his will to come to you; but when there shall be opportunity he will come to you.
13 Ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte, na mwĩhaande mũrũmĩte wega thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio; ningĩ mũtuĩke andũ omĩrĩru; na mũgĩe na hinya.
WATCH, and stand in the faith; be manful and be strong.
14 Ĩkagai maũndũ mothe mũrĩ na wendani.
And let all your affairs be done in love.
15 Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Stefana nĩo maarĩ a mbere gwĩtĩkia kũu bũrũri wa Akaia, na nĩmerutĩire gũtungatagĩra andũ arĩa aamũre. Nĩngũkĩmũringĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ,
But I entreat of you, my brethren, for the house of Stephano, because you know they are the first-fruits of Akaia, and have disposed themselves for the service of the saints,
16 mwathĩkagĩre andũ ta acio, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrutithanagia wĩra na ithuĩ, akĩũnogagĩra.
that you be submissive to such as they, and to every one who laboureth with us and helpeth.
17 Nĩndakenire rĩrĩa Stefana, marĩ na Fotunato, na Akaiko maakinyire, nĩ ũndũ nĩo maahingĩirie ũndũ ũrĩa itaarĩ naguo kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ.
But I am glad of the coming of Stephano, and of Fortunatos, and of Akaiakos, because your deficiency with me they have fulfilled.
18 Nĩgũkorwo nĩmacanjamũrire roho wakwa o na wanyu. Andũ ta acio nĩmagĩrĩirwo kũheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Wherefore acknowledge those who are such.
19 Makanitha ma bũrũri wa Asia nĩmamũgeithia. Akula na Pirisila nĩmamũgeithia mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani, o na kanitha ũrĩa ũcemanagia kwao nyũmba nĩwamũgeithia.
All the churches of Asia ask for your peace; Akilos and Priskila, with the church which is in their house, ask for your peace greatly in our Lord.
20 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ nĩmamũgeithia. O mũndũ nĩageithie ũrĩa ũngĩ na ngeithi theru cia kĩmumunyano.
All the brethren ask for your peace. Ask the peace of one another with the holy kiss.
21 Niĩ, Paũlũ, nĩ niĩ ndandĩka ngeithi ici na guoko gwakwa.
Peace, by the writing of my hand, of PAULOS.
22 Angĩkorwo he mũndũ o na ũ ũtendete Mwathani-rĩ, arogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi. Ũka, Mwathani!
Whosoever loveth not our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, let him be accursed. Our Lord cometh.
23 Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ ũroikara na inyuĩ.
The grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha be with you.
24 Wendani wakwa ũromũkinyĩra inyuĩ inyuothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ameni.
And my love be with you all in the Meshiha Jeshu Amen.
