2 VaKorinde 8
1 Uye zvino, hama, tinoda kuti muzive pamusoro penyasha dzakapiwa naMwari kukereke dzeMasedhonia.
Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 Pakati pokuedzwa kukuru, mufaro wavo mukuru nokushayiwa kwavo kukuru zvakaita kuti vape zvizhinji.
That in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality.
3 Nokuti ndinopupura kuti vakapa napavaigona napo, uye kunyange kutopfuura pavaigona napo. Vakaita zvose izvi nokuda kwavo,
For to [their] power, I bear testimony, and even beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of themselves;
4 vakakumbirisa kwazvo kwatiri kuti vawane mukana wokugoverana nesu muushumiri uhu kuvatsvene.
Praying us with much entreaty, that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 Uye havana kuita sezvataifunga bedzi, asi kuti vakazvipa ivo pachavo kutanga kuna Ishe mushure mezvo vakazvipa kwatiri maererano nokuda kwaMwari.
And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us by the will of God:
6 Saka takakumbira zvikuru Tito, kuti sezvaakanga atanga, apedzisewo basa iri renyasha kwamuri.
So that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
7 Asi sezvamakagonesesa pazvinhu zvose, pakutenda, pakutaura, pakuziva, napakushingaira kwose uye nomurudo rwenyu, onaiwo kuti mugonesese munyasha idzi dzokupa.
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 Handisi kukurayirai, asi kuti ndinoda kuedza kutendeka kwerudo rwenyu nokukuenzanisa nokushingaira kwavamwe.
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 Nokuti munoziva nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, kuti kunyange zvake akanga ari mupfumi, asi nokuda kwenyu akava murombo, kuitira kuti kubudikidza nourombo hwake imi mugopfumiswa.
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 Uye herino zano rangu pane zvichakubatsirai pachinhu ichi: Gore rakapera makava vokutanga kwete pakupa chete asiwo pakuva nechishuvo chokuzviita.
And in this 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 Zvino pedzisai basa, kuitira kuti shungu dzenyu dzokuda kuita izvi, dzienzaniswe nokuzvizadzisa kwenyu, maererano nepamunogona napo.
Now therefore finish 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 Nokuti kana chido chiripo, chipo chinogamuchirwa, maererano nezvine munhu, kwete maererano nezvaasina.
For if there is first a willing mind, [it is] accepted according to what a man hath, [and] not according to what he hath not.
13 Chishuvo chedu hachisi chokuti vamwe varerukirwe asi imi muchiremerwa, asi kuti pave nokuenzana.
For [I mean] not that other men should be eased, and you burdened:
14 Panguva ino kuwana kwenyu kuchavawanisa zvavanoshayiwa, kuitirawo kuti kuwana kwavo kugokuwanisaiwo zvamunoshayiwa. Ipapo pachava nokuenzana,
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 sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: “Akaunganidza zvakawanda haana kuva nezvakawandisa, uye akaunganidza zvishoma haana kuva nezvishoma shoma.”
As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no want.
16 Ndinovonga Mwari, akaisa mumwoyo maTito hanya seyandinayo kwamuri.
But thanks [be] to God, who put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17 Nokuti Tito haana kugamuchira chikumbiro chedu bedzi, asi kuti ari kuuyawo kwamuri nokushingaira kukuru uye nokuda kwake hake.
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went to you.
18 Uye tiri kumutumira kwamuri pamwe chete nehama inorumbidzwa nekereke dzose paushumiri hwevhangeri.
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;
19 Hazvisizvo zvoga, akasarudzwawo nekereke kuti atiperekedze pakutakura chipo chatiri kundopa, kuti tikudze Ishe pachake uye kuti tiratidze shungu dzedu dzokuda kubatsira.
And not [that] only, but who was also chosen by 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 Tinoda kuchenjerera kuti kurege kuva nomunhu angatipa mhosva pamusoro pamabatiro atichaita chipo ichi chikuru.
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21 Nokuti tiri kuedza kwazvo kuita zvakanaka, kwete pamberi paShe chete asiwo pamberi penyu.
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 Pamusoro pezvo, tiri kutuma hama yedu pamwe chete navo uyo akaratidza kwatiri nenzira dzakawanda kuti anoshingaira, uye kunyanya iye zvino nokuda kwokuvimba kwake kukuru nemi.
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often proved [to be] diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which [I have] in you.
23 Kana ari Tito, ndiye shamwari yangu nomubati pamwe chete neni pakati penyu; kana dziri hama dzedu, ndivo vamiririri vekereke uye kukudzwa kwaKristu.
If [any inquire] concerning Titus, [he is] my partner and fellow-helper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of], [they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ.
24 Naizvozvo ratidzai varume ava chiratidzo chorudo rwenyu uye chikonzero chokuzvirumbidza kwenyu, kuitira kuti kereke dzigogona kuzviona.
Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
