2 Korintiyawa 8
1 To,’yan’uwa, muna so ku san abin da alherin Allah ya ba wa ikkilisiyoyin Makidoniya.
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the charity of God, which is given by the congregations of Macedonia;
2 Gama sun sha wuya sosai saboda tsananin wahalar da suka shiga, har yawan farin cikinsu ya kai su ga yin alheri ta bayarwa ga waɗansu, ko da yake suna cikin tsananin talauci.
that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy, and their extreme poverty, superabounded to the riches of their liberality:
3 Gama ina shaida cewa sun bayar daidai gwargwadon iyawarsu, har ma fiye da ƙarfinsu. Su kansu,
that to their power, (I bear witness, ) yes, beyond their power, they were willing of themselves; with much entreaty
4 sun roƙe mu sosai don su sami damar yin bayarwa a wannan hidima ga tsarkaka.
requesting us to accept the charity and the participation of the service, which is for the saints.
5 Ba su yi yadda muka za tă ba, sai ma suka fara ba da kansu ga Ubangiji, sa’an nan sai suka ba da kansu gare mu bisa ga nufin Allah.
Yes, beyond our expectations; for they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
6 Ganin haka sai muka roƙi Titus, da yake shi ne ya riga ya tsiro da wannan aikin alheri a cikinku, sai yă ƙarasa shi.
This moved us to entreat Titus, that as he had formerly begun, so he would also finish the same charity among you likewise.
7 To, da yake kun fiffita a kowane abu cikin bangaskiya, cikin magana, cikin sani, cikin dukan ƙwazo, da kuma cikin ƙaunarku dominmu, sai ku fiffita a wannan aikin alheri ma.
Now as you abound in every gift, (in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, ) I wish that you may abound in this gift also.
8 Ba umarni nake ba ku ba, sai dai ina so in gwada gaskiyar ƙaunarku ne, ta wurin kwatanta ta da aniyar waɗansu.
I speak not this as an injunction, but on account of the diligence of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 Gama kun san alherin Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi cewa ko da yake shi mawadaci ne, duk da haka, ya zama matalauci saboda ku, domin ta wurin talaucinsa, ku zama mawadata.
(For you know the charity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor; that you, through his poverty, might be rich.)
10 Ga shawarata a kan abin da ya fi muku kyau a wannan al’amari. Bara ku kuka fara bayarwa, kuka kuma zama na farko wajen niyyar yin haka.
And in this I give my opinion, not only to do, but also to be willing since the last year.
11 Yanzu sai ku ƙarasa aikin da irin niyyar da kuka fara, ku yi haka gwargwadon ƙarfinku.
At present, therefore, finish the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will; so also let there be to finish, according to your ability.
12 Gama in da niyyar bayarwa, za a karɓi bayarwa bisa ga abin da mutum yake da shi, ba bisa ga abin da ba shi da shi ba.
For if there be a willing mind, according to what a person has, he is accepted; and not according to what he has not.
13 Ba nufi nake yi a sawwaƙe wa waɗansu, ku kuwa a jibga muku nauyin ba. Amma ya yi kyau dai
However, I mean not that others should be eased and you distressed; but on account of equality,
14 a raba daidai wa daida, sai ku taimake su a yanzu da yalwarku saboda rashinsu. Wata rana su ma su taimake ku da yalwarsu saboda rashinku, don a daidaita al’amari,
that now your abundance may be a supply for their want; that again, their abundance may be a supply for your want; that there may be an equality.
15 kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Wanda ya tara da yawa, bai tara fiye da bukatarsa ba, wanda kuma ya tara kaɗan, bai kāsa masa ba.”
As it is written, "He who gathered much, had nothing over; and he who gathered little, had no lack."
16 Ina gode wa Allah, wanda ya sa a zuciyar Titus, irin kula da nake da shi dominku.
Now thanks be to God, who has put the same earnest care concerning you, into the heart of Titus.
17 Ba kawai ya yarda yă je wurinku kamar yadda muka roƙe shi yă yi ba, amma ya so yă zo kamar yadda ya riga ya yi niyya.
For he, indeed, received an exhortation; but from his great earnestness, was going to you of his own accord.
18 Ga shi mun aiko ɗan’uwanmu nan tare da shi, wanda ikkilisiyoyi duka suna yabo saboda hidimarsa ga bishara.
And with him we have sent the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the congregations.
19 Ba kuwa haka kaɗai ba, har ma ikkilisiyoyi sun zaɓe shi yă riƙa tafiya tare da mu kan wannan aikin alheri da muke yi saboda ɗaukakar Ubangiji, da kuma nuna kyakkyawar niyyarmu.
And not only so, but who was also chosen by the congregations our fellow-traveler, with this charity, which is ministered by us, to the glory of the Lord himself, and of your readiness:
20 Muna gudu kada wani yă zarge mu, a kan yadda muke gudanar da wannan kyautar da aka bayar hannu sake.
using this precaution, that none may blame us in the distribution of this abundance;
21 Gama muna iya ƙoƙari mu yi abin da yake daidai, ba a gaban Ubangiji kaɗai ba, amma a gaban mutane ma.
premeditating things comely, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in sight of men.
22 Ban da wannan kuma, mun aiko da ɗan’uwanmu tare da su, wanda ya sha tabbatar mana da ƙwazonsa ta hanyoyi iri-iri, musamman yanzu, domin ya amince da ku da gaske.
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes found diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, from the great confidence which he has in you.
23 Game da Titus kuma, shi abokin tarayyata ne, da kuma abokin aikina a cikinku; game da’yan’uwanmu kuwa, su wakilai ne na ikkilisiyoyi, kuma su masu ɗaukaka Kiristi ne.
If any inquire concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellow-laborer for you; or if our brethren be inquired of, they are Apostles of congregations, and a glory of Christ.
24 Saboda haka, ku nuna wa waɗannan mutane shaidar ƙaunarku, da kuma dalilin taƙamarmu da ku, domin ikkilisiyoyi su gani.
Wherefore, the proof of your love, and of our boasting concerning you, display before them, and before the face of the congregations.
