2 Akoritho 9

1 Husiana na huduma kwa ajili ya baumini, ni bora muno kwango kubaandikiya.

It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

2 Nitangite kuhusu shauku yinu, ambayo naipunia kwa bandu ba Makedonia. Niabakiye panga Akaya abile tayari tangu mwaka waupitike. Hamu yinu itibatia mwoyo baingi babe panga.

for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

3 Nambeambe, niatumile nongo ili panga maipuno yitu kuhusu mwenga gabile kwaa ya bure, ni ili panga mubile tayari, kati yanibayite mana mubile.

But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,

4 Vinginevyo, mana mundu yoyote wa Makedonia mana aisile pamope ninenga na kubakuta mubile kwaa tayari, twalowa bona oni-nilongela kwaa chochote kuhusu mwenga-kwa ujasiri muno katika mwenga.

so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confidence.

5 Nga nyo nibweni yabile muhimu kuwasihi alongo kuisa kwinu na panga mipango mapema kwa ajili ya zawadi zanyansima. Ayee nga nyoo ili panga ibe tayari kati baraka, na kati kwaa kilebe chaamriwa.

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.

6 Liwazo nga lee: mundu ywapandae njene alowa una njene kae, na yeyote ywapendae kwa lengo lya baraka kae alowa una baraka.

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 Bai na kila yumo ywatoa kati yaatipanga mumwoyo wake. Bai niywembe atoe kwaa kwa huzuni au kwa lazimishwa. Kwa mana Nnongo umpenda yolo ywatoa furaha.

Each person should give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 Nnongo aweza izidisha kila baraka kwa ajili yinu, ili panga, kila muda. katika makowe goate, muweze pata gote muyahitaji. Ayee nga ibile ili panga muweze zidisha kila litendo linoite.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

9 Ni mana iandikilwe: “Atitapanya utajiri wake na kuutoa kwa maskini. Haki yake yadumu milele.” (aiōn g165)

As it is written, "He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." (aiōn g165)

10 Ywembe ywatoae mbeyu kwa mpanzi ni mkate kwa ajili ya chakulya, ni atoa kae na yongeya mbegu yinu kwa ajili ya kuipanda. Ywembe alowa yongeya mauno ga haki yinu.

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

11 Mwalowa tajirishwa kwa kila namna ili panga muweze pangika bakarimu. Ayee nga iletya shukrani kwa Nnongo pitya twenga.

you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

12 Kwa kupanga huduma yee ibile kwaa ikamwa mahitaji ga baumini. Huzidisha kae katika matendo ganyansima ga shukrani kwa Nnongo.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;

13 Kwa sababu ya kupimwa kwinu na thibitishwa kwa huduma yee, mtatumbukiza kae Nnongo kwa utii kwa baya kwinu kwa ajili ya Kristo. Mwalowa mtunza kae Nnongo kwa ukarimu wa karama yinu kwabembe na kwa kila yumo.

seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Meshikha, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;

14 Batitamaniya, na baloba kwa ajili yinu. Bapanga nyoo kwa sababu ya neema kolo ya Nnongo yaibile nnani yinu.

while they themselves also, with petition on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

15 Shukrani ibe kwa Nnongo kwa karama yake yaiwezekana kwaa!

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.
