2 Abhakorintho 8
1 Chibhenda emwe mumenye, omumula nomusubhati, echigongo cha Nyamuanga chinu changabhiwe mu makanisa ga Makedonia.
But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;
2 Omwanya gwalisakwa linene lyo kunyaka, obwafu bwa likondelelwa lyebwe lyokuyanibwa obhutaka bwebwe nibwibhula obhunibhi bwafu bwo kukuma.
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 Kwo kubha enibhambalila ati abho bhasosishe kwo bhatulile, nolwo byafu bhinu bhatulile.
For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord,
4 No kwenda kwebwe abhene no kujilembesha kwafu, bhachisabhilwe koleleki bhasangile kumilimu jinu ku bhelu.
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 Linu litakasokele alabha kwokwo chaliga nichenda. kulwejo, kwamba bhesosishe abhene bhenyele ku Lata bhugenyi. kutyo nibhesosha abhene bhenyele kweswe mu kwenda kwa Nyamuanga.
And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.
6 Nikwo nichikomelesha Tito, aliga ambile omulimu gunu, nikwo akumishe echigongo chinu kwimwe.
So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;
7 Nawe emwe muno bwafu bhuli chinu mu likilisha mu kwaika na mubhumenyi, na mu kukomela, na mu kwenda kwemwe mwiswe. Kutyo nimufufyega ati emwe omubha no bhafu ona okukola linu muchigongo.
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 Enaika linu atali kwokubhalagilila. koleleki naika linu okubhalola okwenda kwemwe okwinganilisha no kwenda kwa bhanu bhandi.
I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.
9 Kwo kubha mumenyele echigongo cha Lata bhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo. Nolwo aliga munibhi, kulwemwe aliga mutaka koleleki okulabhila obhutaka bwae mutule kubha bhanibhi.
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 Mu musango gunu enibhayana omusango gunu ogubhasakila. Omwaka gumwi gunu gulabhile, mutambile ela okukola omusango. Nawe naligiye okukola.
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 Woli mukumishe. Alabha nikwo chaliga nichenda okukola, nikwo, mbe, mwakatulile ona okuleta obwengeso, kwokwo omutula.
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 Kwo kubha omwenda okola linu, ni musango gwa kisi no gwendibwa. Bhusibhusi limelegulu ingulu yachiliya echo alinacho omunu, atali ingulu yachinu atanacho omunu.
For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.
13 Kwo kubha emilimu jinu jitali koleleki ati abhandi abhatula obhuanga nemwe musitoelwe.
For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,
14 Obhafu bwemwe kwo mwanya gwa olyanu ogusakila kwa chiliya echoechendibwa. Linu ni kutyo ona koleleki obwafu bwebwe bhutule okusakila ebhinu byemwe, na ati kubhe nokwingana.
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 Linu nikwo gandikilwe; “Unu aliga na byafu atabheye na chinu chona chona echochasigaye na unu aliga na bhitoto atabheye na kwenda byona.”
According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.
16 Nawe asimwe Namuanga, unu atee munda yo mwoyo gwa Tito omwoyo guliguli gwo kumenya unu ninago kulwemwe.
But thanks [be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.
17 kwo kubha atali ela alamiye lisabwa lyeswe, nawe ona aliga nikomesha okugwana nalisabwa elyo. Ejile kwemwe kwokwituma kwaye omwene.
For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;
18 Chamutuma aamwi nage omuili unu kakuibwa mubhamwi mwa makakanisa koleleki emilimu jaye jo kulasha omusango.
but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;
19 Jitali ejo ela, nawe ona asolelwe na jikanisa okulibhata neswe okuliyeka libhala lyakula kulya likolya linu ni lyokukuma. Linu ni kwa likukusho lya Lata bhugenyi omwene nokwenda kweswe no kusakila.
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 Echikenga gunu ati wonawona katula okwaika eswe okukuma gunu echieka.
avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered by us;
21 Echigega no kukola echochili heshima, atali ela imbele ya Lata bhugenyi, nawe ona imbele ya bhanu.
for we provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.
22 Lindi ona chamutuma omuili oundi amwi nabho. Chamulegejishe kwiya ngendo nyamfu, nachamulolele ali nobhwila ingulu ye milimu myamfu. Nolo woli akomee kwainsonga yo bhukalaliye bhunene bhunu alinabhwo ingulu yemwe.
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 Ingulu ya Tito, omwene ni mukosi wejasu ingulu yemwe. Labha kwa bhaili bheswe, abhatumwa na makanisa. Nibhechibhalo ku Kristo.
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 Kulwejo, mubholeshe elyenda lyemwe, na mwoleshe mumakanisa insonga yo kwikuya kweswe ingulu yemwe.
Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.
