2 Wakorintu 8
1 Walongu wayetu, twenga tufira mwenga muvimani manemu ga Mlungu gakavipananiti vipinga vya wantu yawamjimira Yesu vyaviwera Makedoniya.
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the charity of God, which is given by the congregations of Macedonia;
2 Walongu walii wajeritwi nentu kwa ntabika, kumbiti nemelera yawu iweriti nkulu, tembera waweriti wahushu nentu na nemelera yawu iwatenditi waweri wa kulaviya nentu kwa mawoku mawili.
that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy, and their extreme poverty, superabounded to the riches of their liberality:
3 Neni weza kuwagambira mwenga kuwera womberi walaviyiti uwezu wawu nentu ntambu yawaweza kuliku vilii vyawawera navi. Kwa mafiliru gawu weni,
that to their power, (I bear witness, ) yes, beyond their power, they were willing of themselves; with much entreaty
4 watuluwiti nentu tutendi lihengu pamuhera na womberi kuwatanga wantu wa Mlungu Muyudeya.
requesting us to accept the charity and the participation of the service, which is for the saints.
5 Ashi shiweriti shitwatira shatushiloleriti ndiri! Kwanja walilaviya weni kulongolu kwa Mtuwa, shakapanu womberi walilaviyiti weni kwa twenga kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu.
Yes, beyond our expectations; for they first gave themselves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
6 Toziya ayi Su tumluwiti Titu, yakaliyanjiti lihengu ali kawatangi viraa mulitendi lihengu ali lya ufiru muwamu mwenu.
This moved us to entreat Titus, that as he had formerly begun, so he would also finish the same charity among you likewise.
7 Mwenga muwera na kila shintu kwa uvuwa, njimiru na uwezu wa kutakula na kwendeleya kutenda viheri na mafiliru genu kwa twenga. Su twenga tuwaluwani mwenga muweri na mafiliru nentu mulihengu ali lya kulaviya kwa mawoku mawili.
Now as you abound in every gift, (in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, ) I wish that you may abound in this gift also.
8 Nuwalagalira ndiri, kumbiti nfira kujera mafiliru genu handa ganakaka na galifana na mafiliru ga wantu wamonga.
I speak not this as an injunction, but on account of the diligence of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 Toziya mwenga muvimana manemu ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, tembera mweni kaweriti kalunda, kalitenditi mweni kuwera muhushu kwajili ya mwenga, su kulawirana na uhushu wakuwi kawatendi mwenga muweri walunda.
(For you know the charity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor; that you, through his poverty, might be rich.)
10 Shanfira kuwagambira ndo ashi, iherepa kwa mwenga kumalira vinu shilii shamwanjiti mvinja gwagupititi. Mwenga muweriti wa kwanja, kwa kulaviya ndiri, kumbiti viraa vilii muweriti na moyu gwa kutenda hangu.
And in this I give my opinion, not only to do, but also to be willing since the last year.
11 Su vinu mmalili lihengu lya kulaviya! Muweri na moyu gwa kumalira ntambu yamfiriti na mlaviyi kulawirana na vilii vyamuwera navi.
At present, therefore, finish the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will; so also let there be to finish, according to your ability.
12 Handa payiwera muntu kana moyu gwa kulaviya, Mlungu hakajimili lifupu lyaku lyaguweza kulaviya na hapeni kafiri shilii shamuwera nashu ndiri.
For if there be a willing mind, according to what a person has, he is accepted; and not according to what he has not.
13 Mwenga mfiruwa ndiri mpanani neni su wamonga wapati mota, kumbiti tufiruwa woseri tulinganiri.
However, I mean not that others should be eased and you distressed; but on account of equality,
14 Kila shamuwera nashu vinu, shilii shashiwongereka shiwatangi wamonga yawahera, su pawawera na shashiwongerekiti, wawatangi mwenga mumafiliru genu. Su hakuweri na malinganiru.
that now your abundance may be a supply for their want; that again, their abundance may be a supply for your want; that there may be an equality.
15 Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Ulii yakajojinira vivuwa kaweriti ndiri na vyaviwongerekiti, na ulii yakajojinira vivuwa ndiri kapungukiwitwi ndiri.”
As it is written, "He who gathered much, had nothing over; and he who gathered little, had no lack."
16 Nonga mayagashii Mlungu yakatuliti mngati mwa moyu gwa Titu lumata alu lwanweriti nalu neni lwa kuwatanga.
Now thanks be to God, who has put the same earnest care concerning you, into the heart of Titus.
17 Kajimiliti ndiri hera kuluwa kwa twenga, kumbiti viraa vilii mweni kafiriti nentu kuwatanga, mpaka mweni kaamuwiti kwiza kwa mwenga.
For he, indeed, received an exhortation; but from his great earnestness, was going to you of his own accord.
18 Twankumtuma mlongu yumu kalilonguziyi na yomberi, ayu kazyumitwi na shipinga shoseri sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu kwa lihengu lya kubwelera wantu Shisoweru Shiwagira.
And with him we have sent the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the congregations.
19 Nentu ya aga, yomberi kasyagulitwi na vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu kagendi mwanja pamuhera na twenga patulijega lihengu lyetu ali kwa ufiru, tendera yatuyitenda kwajili ya ukwisa wa Mtuwa na ulanguziwu wa nfiru yetu heri.
And not only so, but who was also chosen by the congregations our fellow-traveler, with this charity, which is ministered by us, to the glory of the Lord himself, and of your readiness:
20 Kwa kugenda mwanja pamuhera, hatuchapiri mahinginiku yagaweza kulawira mulihengu lya twenga lya kujojinika tambiku azi zya mpiya.
using this precaution, that none may blame us in the distribution of this abundance;
21 Nfiru ya twenga ndo kutenda hweri, kulongolu kwa Mtuwa hera ndiri, kumbiti kulongolu kwa wantu viraa.
premeditating things comely, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in sight of men.
22 Su twenga tumtuma mlongu muyetu pamuhera na womberi, yatumjeriti na kumjimira, yomberi kafiriti nentu kutanga, mpaka vinu kana moyu nentu toziya kawajimira mwenga.
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes found diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, from the great confidence which he has in you.
23 Titu ndo muyangu na tutenda lihengu pamuhera kuwatanga mwenga. Walongu wayetu wamonga yawiza pamuhera na yomberi, wawera wajumbi wa vipinga vya wantu vyawamjimira Yesu na ligoya kwa Kristu.
If any inquire concerning Titus, he is my partner and fellow-laborer for you; or if our brethren be inquired of, they are Apostles of congregations, and a glory of Christ.
24 Su muwalanguziyi mafiliru genu, su Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu wavimani kuwera tutakula nakaka tuwatumbira mwenga.
Wherefore, the proof of your love, and of our boasting concerning you, display before them, and before the face of the congregations.
