2 Abakkolinso 8
1 Kaakano tubategeeza abooluganda, ekisa kya Katonda ekyaweebwa ekkanisa z’e Makedoniya.
We make known now to you, brothers, the grace of God which bestowed among the churches of Macedonia
2 Mu kugezesebwa okw’okubonaabona, baagattika essanyu lyabwe ery’ekitalo n’obwavu bwabwe obungi, ne bafunamu okugaba okwewuunyizibwa ennyo.
that in much proof of tribulation the excess of the joy of them and of deep poverty of them abounded into (the riches *N(k)O*) of the generosity of them,
3 Tebaagaba kutuuka we basobola wokka, naye nawo baasukkawo, era baagaba lwa kweyagalira.
For according to [their] ability, I testify [that], and (beside *N(k)O*) [their] ability [they were] willing of themselves,
4 Baatwegayirira tubatwalire ebirabo byabwe, nabo basanyukire wamu ne bannaabwe abaweerezza obuyambi eri abatukuvu.
with much entreaty imploring of us for the grace and the fellowship of the service among the saints (to receive us, *K*)
5 Ate era kye twali tutasuubidde, baasooka kwewaayo eri Mukama, n’oluvannyuma gye tuli olw’okwagala kwa Katonda.
And not [only] even as we had hoped, but themselves they gave first to the Lord and then to us through [the] will of God
6 Kyatugwanira okusaba Tito, nga bwe yasooka okubaweereza, ajje atuukirize n’ekikolwa ekyo eky’ekisa.
Accordingly exhorting we Titus, that even as he had begun so also he may complete with you as well grace this.
7 Naye nga bwe musukirira mu bintu byonna, mu kukkiriza, ne mu kigambo, ne mu kutegeera, ne mu kunyiikira kwonna, twagala okulaba nga ne mu kisa kino musukirira.
But even as in every [way] you abound, in faith and in speech and in knowledge and in all earnestness and in the from (of us *N(K)O*) in (you *N(K)O*) love, that also in this grace you may abound.
8 Sibawa kiragiro, wabula olw’okunyiikira kw’abalala n’okugezesa okwagala kwammwe nga kw’amazima.
Not as a command do I speak but through the of others earnestness also the of your love genuineness proving;
9 Kubanga mumanyi ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo nga bwe yafuka omwavu ku lwammwe, mwe mulyoke mugaggawale.
You know for the grace of the Lord of us Jesus Christ that for the sake of you He became poor rich being, so that you yourselves through that poverty may be enriched.
10 Amagezi ge mbawa ge gano nti mumalirize ekyo kye mwatandikako mu mwaka ogwayita, kubanga si mmwe mwasooka okuleeta ekirowoozo ekyo ate era si mmwe mwali ababereberye mu kutandika okukikolerako.
And a judgment in this [matter] I give; this indeed for you is profitable, who not only to act but also to will you began before before a year ago.
11 Naye kaakano mu bumalirivu bwammwe mu kwagala okukikola, mumalirize omulimu ogwo, okusinziira kw’ekyo kye mulina.
Now then also the doing do complete so that just as [there was] the readiness of the to will so also the to complete out of that which [you] having.
12 Kuba obanga mulina obumalirivu nga buli muntu bw’alina, buli muntu aweeyo okusinziira ku ekyo ky’alina so si ky’atalina.
If for the readiness is present, as if he shall have (anyone *k*) acceptable, not as not he does have.
13 Abalala baleme kuyambibwa ate nga mmwe munyigirizibwa, walyoke wabeewo, okwenkanankana.
Not for that to others [there may be] ease but for you (now *k*) affliction,
14 Kaakano bye mulina ebingi biyambe abo abali mu kwetaaga, ate ebyabwe bye baliba nabyo ebingi biribayamba nga muli mu kwetaaga.
but of equality; At the present time your excess [will be] for the of those need, so that also their excess may be for the of you need, so that there may become equality
15 Nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Oyo eyakuŋŋaanyanga ennyingi teyasigazangawo, n’eyakuŋŋaanyanga entono ng’emumala bumazi.”
Even as it has been written: He the much not did abound and he the little not lacked.
16 Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe eyassa obunyiikivu bwe bumu mu mutima gwa Tito ku lwammwe.
Thanks however to God the [One] (gave *N(k)O*) the same earnestness for you into the heart of Titus,
17 Olw’okuzzibwamu amaanyi kwe yafuna, n’olw’okufuba kwe, yajja gye muli.
For indeed [our] appeal he accepted, very earnest however being of his own accord he has gone out to you.
18 Era tutumye wamu naye owooluganda atenderezebwa olw’enjiri mu kkanisa zonna,
We have sent now with him the brother whose praise [is] in the gospel through all [times] of the churches.
19 naye si ekyo kyokka wabula yalondebwa okutambulanga naffe olw’ekisa kye tuweereza ffe olwa Mukama waffe yennyini n’olw’okugulumiza n’okulaga nga bwe twetegese okuyamba,
not only now, but also having been chosen by the churches fellow traveler of us (with *NK(o)*) grace this that [is] being administered by us toward the himself of the Lord glory and readiness (of us. *N(K)O*)
20 nga twewala omuntu yenna okutunenya olw’ekirabo kino kye tuweereza.
avoiding this, lest anyone us may blame in abundance this which is being administered by us;
21 Kubanga kye tugenderera kwe kukola ebirungi, si mu maaso ga Katonda yekka wabula ne mu maaso g’abantu.
(We plan *N(k)O*) (for *no*) what is right not only before [the] Lord but also before men.
22 Era awamu nabo twabatumira owooluganda gwe tukakasizza nga munyiikivu mu bintu bingi era nga ne kaakano munyiikivu nnyo olw’obwesige bw’abalinamu.
We sent now to them the brother of us, whom we have proven in many things often earnest to be, now however much earnest by [his] confidence more which [is] in you.
23 Singa wabaawo ayagala okumanya ebifa ku Tito, tukolagana, mukozi munnange; abooluganda, bo batume ba kkanisa, olw’ekitiibwa kya Kristo.
Whether as regards Titus, [he is] partner of mine and for you a fellow worker; or brothers our, [they are] apostles of [the] churches, [the] glory of Christ.
24 Noolwekyo okwagala kwammwe n’okwenyumiriza kwammwe byeyoleke gye bali.
Therefore the proof of the love of you and of our boasting about you to them (is showing *N(k)O*) (and *k*) in face of the churches.
