2 Akorinitho 9

1 Na rĩrĩ, ndikuona harĩ bata ndĩmwandĩkĩre ũhoro wa ũteithio ũrĩa wagĩrĩire kũheo andũ arĩa aamũre.

For as concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

2 Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ kĩyo kĩanyu gĩa kwenda gũteithia, na nĩngoretwo ngĩĩrahĩra ũndũ ũcio kũrĩ andũ a Makedonia, ngameera atĩ kuuma mwaka ũcio ũrathirire, inyuĩ andũ a Akaia mũtũire mwĩhaarĩirie kũheana; na kĩyo kĩu kĩanyu nĩkĩo kĩarahũrĩte aingĩ ao.

For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has provoked very many.

3 No nĩngũtũma ariũ a Ithe witũ nĩguo kwĩraha gwitũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ wa mũhothi gũtigatuĩke gwa tũhũ, no mũgaakorwo mwĩhaarĩirie, o ta ũrĩa ndoigire atĩ nĩmwĩharĩirie.

Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, all of you may be ready:

4 Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe a Makedonia mangĩrehane na niĩ makore mũtehaarĩirie-rĩ, ithuĩ, o na tũtekũmũgweta-rĩ, nĩtũgaaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo tũmwĩhokeete.

Lest lest by any means if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, all of you) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩndĩronire arĩ wega gũthaitha ariũ a Ithe witũ maambe mamũceerere ihinda rĩu rĩtanakinya, nĩguo marĩkĩrĩrie mĩbango ya kĩheo kĩa ũtaana kĩrĩa mweranĩire. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩheo kĩu nĩgĩgakorwo kĩrĩ ho, na kĩheanĩtwo na kwĩyendera, no ti na kũringĩrĩrio.

Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof all of you had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

6 Ririkanai ũũ: Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga tũnini akaagetha o tũnini, nake ũrĩa ũhaandaga nyingĩ akaagetha nyingĩ.

But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7 O mũndũ aagĩrĩirwo nĩkũheana kĩrĩa atuĩte na ngoro yake nĩekũheana, na ndakaheane atekwenda kana taarĩ kũringĩrĩrio, nĩgũkorwo Ngai endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũheanaga akenete.

Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 Nake Ngai arĩ na ũhoti wa gũtũma mũingĩhĩrwo nĩ maũndũ mothe ma wega wake, nĩguo maũndũ-inĩ mothe na mahinda-inĩ mothe, mũkoragwo na kĩrĩa gĩothe mũbatarĩtio nĩkĩo, nĩguo mũkoragwo mũingĩhĩtie indo cia kũruta wĩra o wothe mwega.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that all of you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

9 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩahurunjĩte iheo ciake akahe andũ arĩa athĩĩni; ũthingu wake ũtũũraga nginya tene na tene.” (aiōn g165)

(As it is written, He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains for ever. (aiōn g165)

10 Na rĩrĩ, ũrĩa ũheaga mũhandi mbeũ na akamũhe irio cia kũrĩa, nĩarĩmũheaga mbeũ cia kũhaanda, na atũme cingĩhe, na ongerere magetha ma ũthingu wanyu.

Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; )

11 Na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩtongagio na njĩra ciothe nĩguo mũheanage na ũtaana hĩndĩ ciothe, naguo ũtaana wanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra witũ, ũtũmage Ngai acookagĩrio ngaatho.

Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God.

12 Ũteithio ũyũ mũraruta ti kuuga atĩ no andũ a Ngai mũrahingĩria mabata mao, no nĩũtũmaga Ngai acookagĩrio ngaatho na njĩra nyingĩ.

For the administration of this service not only supplies the lack of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

13 Na tondũ wa ũtungata ũcio mwĩonanĩtie naguo ũrĩa mũhaana-rĩ, andũ nĩmarĩgoocaga Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mwathĩkĩire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Kristũ ũrĩa muumbũraga atĩ nĩmũwĩtĩkĩtie-rĩ, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũtaana wanyu wakũgwatanĩra nao o na wakũgwatanĩra na andũ arĩa angĩ othe.

While by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

14 Na rĩrĩa mekũmũhoera, ngoro ciao nĩimwĩciiragia, tondũ wa ũrĩa wega wa Ngai ũrĩa inyuĩ mũheetwo ũkĩrĩrĩirie kũingĩha.

And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

15 Ngai arocookerio ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa kĩheo gĩake kĩrĩa gĩtangiugĩka na ciugo ũrĩa gĩtariĩ!

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
