2 Abhakorintho 8
1 Chibhenda emwe mumenye, omumula nomusubhati, echigongo cha Nyamuanga chinu changabhiwe mu makanisa ga Makedonia.
MOREOVER, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 Omwanya gwalisakwa linene lyo kunyaka, obwafu bwa likondelelwa lyebwe lyokuyanibwa obhutaka bwebwe nibwibhula obhunibhi bwafu bwo kukuma.
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3 Kwo kubha enibhambalila ati abho bhasosishe kwo bhatulile, nolwo byafu bhinu bhatulile.
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4 No kwenda kwebwe abhene no kujilembesha kwafu, bhachisabhilwe koleleki bhasangile kumilimu jinu ku bhelu.
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering 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 this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6 Nikwo nichikomelesha Tito, aliga ambile omulimu gunu, nikwo akumishe echigongo chinu kwimwe.
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same 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.
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8 Enaika linu atali kwokubhalagilila. koleleki naika linu okubhalola okwenda kwemwe okwinganilisha no kwenda kwa bhanu bhandi.
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity 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, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
10 Mu musango gunu enibhayana omusango gunu ogubhasakila. Omwaka gumwi gunu gulabhile, mutambile ela okukola omusango. Nawe naligiye okukola.
And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Woli mukumishe. Alabha nikwo chaliga nichenda okukola, nikwo, mbe, mwakatulile ona okuleta obwengeso, kwokwo omutula.
Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which 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 there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13 Kwo kubha emilimu jinu jitali koleleki ati abhandi abhatula obhuanga nemwe musitoelwe.
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
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 by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may 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.”
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
16 Nawe asimwe Namuanga, unu atee munda yo mwoyo gwa Tito omwoyo guliguli gwo kumenya unu ninago kulwemwe.
But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17 kwo kubha atali ela alamiye lisabwa lyeswe, nawe ona aliga nikomesha okugwana nalisabwa elyo. Ejile kwemwe kwokwituma kwaye omwene.
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18 Chamutuma aamwi nage omuili unu kakuibwa mubhamwi mwa makakanisa koleleki emilimu jaye jo kulasha omusango.
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
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 that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
20 Echikenga gunu ati wonawona katula okwaika eswe okukuma gunu echieka.
Avoiding this, that no man 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.
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of 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 oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23 Ingulu ya Tito, omwene ni mukosi wejasu ingulu yemwe. Labha kwa bhaili bheswe, abhatumwa na makanisa. Nibhechibhalo ku Kristo.
Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24 Kulwejo, mubholeshe elyenda lyemwe, na mwoleshe mumakanisa insonga yo kwikuya kweswe ingulu yemwe.
Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
