2 Korintho 8
1 Kuloilwe unyenye mulenge, akaka nia dada kuukende wang'wi Tunda nuupumilye mumatekeelo a Makedonia.
But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;
2 Matungo nigeng'wa nikulu nelalwago, udu nuaulowa wao nuongeeleki nuauhimbe nuao waluga ugole ukulu nuaukende.
that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their [free-hearted] liberality.
3 Ung'waao kihenga kina aeapumilye anga naiahumile, hange ala nukukila naiahumile.
For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord,
4 Nukuulowi nuao ienso kuupepeelya kuudu, aeakulompile kunsoko aupalung'wi muitumi uwu kuahueli.
begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints.
5 ite singa yigee anga naikusegile, kuleka ite, ng'wandyo aeipumilye ienso ku Mukulu. Hange akipumya ienso kitaitu kuulowa wang'wi Tunda.
And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.
6 Ite aekumupepeeye u Tito, naeukondile kanziilya umulimo uwu, kuleta muukondi ukende uwu mung'waanyu.
So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;
7 Kuite unyenye mukete maintu edu - muuhueli, muntambu, mumahala, kenyangulu, nukuulowa wanyu kunsoko anyu. Ite kendegeeli unye kena mukete ukende du mutendo eye.
but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.
8 Kulunge ile singa ilago. Kuleka ite, kukinga ile nsoko akugemeelya lukulu nua ulowa wanyu kuugemeelya munsula aantu needu.
I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.
9 Kundogoilyo mulengile ukende nua Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto. Ateze aemugole, kunsoko anyu muhimbe nsoko kena kukiila uhimbe wakwe muhume kutula miagole.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that ye by his poverty might be enriched.
10 Mikani ele kumupa usigi nukumuailya. Ng'waka ung'wi nuukeile, shanga aemanzilye udu kituma ikani. Kuite aensumbeye kulituma.
And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
11 Itungo ele lipikeeli. Anga uu udu naekusumbeye nisego lakituma, hange, itee, aemuhumile gwa kuleleta mumaeli mugeeli nua uhumi wanyu.
But now also complete the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.
12 Kunsoko mukete nsula akituma entendo eye, inge ikani iza hange legombekile. Kusinja lemeke migulya aile nukete umuntu, singa migulya laeki numugila umuntu.
For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.
13 Kunsoko umulemo uwu singa kunsoko kina neang'wi ahume kulija ubahu nu nyenye muhume kulemeeligwa. Kuleka ite, itule sawasawa.
For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,
14 Udu wanyu imatungo nitungeli ukuaelya kueke nulakile. Ite uu gwa nsoko kena udu nuao ahume kuailya uula wanyu hange kena atule sawasawa.
but [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality.
15 Ite inge anga niandekilwe “Nuanso nukete nedu mugila anga kentu kehi nekesagile nung'wenso nukete keninoo mugila anga uula wehi.
According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.
16 Kuite walumbwe Itunda, naiuekie mukati ankolo ang'wa Tito inkolo yeyo yeyoo nakinya ngulu kakukela ninkete kunsoko anyu.
But thanks [be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.
17 Kunsoko singa anga udu ausingiiye imalompi itu, ingegwa aukete kinyangulu palung'wi nemalompi nanso auzile kitalanyu kuugombi wakwe ung'wenso.
For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;
18 Kumutumile palung'wi nuyo umuluma nukukuligwa mumatekeelo kunsoko amulemo wakwe nuakutanantya inkani ninzinza.
but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;
19 Singa uu udu, kuite gwa ausaguwe nematekeelo kulongola nusese kulekenka muianza yedu ikani ele nelaukende. Ite inge kuukulu nua Mukulu ung'wenso kunsula itu nakuaelya.
and not only [so], but [is] also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and [a witness of] our readiness;
20 Kuinega itule kena inonee kisusumya kukeela sese nukukeela ukende uwu nekuukenkile.
avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered by us;
21 Kuuhola ukendegeeli kituma nekekukuligwa, singanga ntongeela a Mukulu udu, kuite gwa ntongeela aantu.
for we provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.
22 Hange kumutuma umuluna nemungiza palung'wi nienso. Kamugemela nkua yedu, hange kamuona ukete nsula nsoko amilemo du. Ata itungo lele ukete kinyangulu kukila kunsoko augimya nuukulu nukete mukali anyu.
And we have sent with them our brother whom we have often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [he has] as to you.
23 Kumpola niang'wa Tito, nuanso wipalung'wi nunene hange mituma nutemo miane kunsoko anyu. Anga kualuna itu, akutung'wa nematekee3lo. Ikulyo kung'wa Kilisto.
Whether as regards Titus, [he is] my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, [they are] deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.
24 Ite alageeli uulowa wanyu, hange mualagiile mumatekeelo nsoko awiloli witu kunsoko anyu.
Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.
