2 Abhakorintho 8
1 Chibhenda emwe mumenye, omumula nomusubhati, echigongo cha Nyamuanga chinu changabhiwe mu makanisa ga Makedonia.
Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in 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 much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
3 Kwo kubha enibhambalila ati abho bhasosishe kwo bhatulile, nolwo byafu bhinu bhatulile.
For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4 No kwenda kwebwe abhene no kujilembesha kwafu, bhachisabhilwe koleleki bhasangile kumilimu jinu ku bhelu.
begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service 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.
This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
6 Nikwo nichikomelesha Tito, aliga ambile omulimu gunu, nikwo akumishe echigongo chinu kwimwe.
So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
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 as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love from us that is in you, see that you also abound in this grace.
8 Enaika linu atali kwokubhalagilila. koleleki naika linu okubhalola okwenda kwemwe okwinganilisha no kwenda kwa bhanu bhandi.
I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also 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 you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
10 Mu musango gunu enibhayana omusango gunu ogubhasakila. Omwaka gumwi gunu gulabhile, mutambile ela okukola omusango. Nawe naligiye okukola.
I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
11 Woli mukumishe. Alabha nikwo chaliga nichenda okukola, nikwo, mbe, mwakatulile ona okuleta obwengeso, kwokwo omutula.
But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
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 is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
13 Kwo kubha emilimu jinu jitali koleleki ati abhandi abhatula obhuanga nemwe musitoelwe.
For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
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 for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; 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 who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who 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, who puts the same earnest care for you into 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 indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
18 Chamutuma aamwi nage omuili unu kakuibwa mubhamwi mwa makakanisa koleleki emilimu jaye jo kulasha omusango.
We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through 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.
Not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
20 Echikenga gunu ati wonawona katula okwaika eswe okukuma gunu echieka.
We are avoiding this, that no one should blame us concerning 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 have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others.
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.
We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
23 Ingulu ya Tito, omwene ni mukosi wejasu ingulu yemwe. Labha kwa bhaili bheswe, abhatumwa na makanisa. Nibhechibhalo ku Kristo.
As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
24 Kulwejo, mubholeshe elyenda lyemwe, na mwoleshe mumakanisa insonga yo kwikuya kweswe ingulu yemwe.
Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the churches, and of our boasting about you.
