2 VaKorinde 9
1 Nokuti maererano nerubatsiro rwevatsvene, hazvina kufanira kwandiri kuti ndikunyorerei;
And concerning the ministration by the saints, it would be superfluous for me to write to you:
2 nokuti ndinoziva kushingaira kwenyu, kwandinozvirumbidza nako pamusoro penyu kune veMakedhonia, kuti Akaya yakange yazvigadzirira kubvira gore rakapera; nekushingaira kwenyu kwakamutsa vazhinji.
for I know the goodness of your mind; and therefore I gloried of you before the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath excited many.
3 Asi ndakatuma hama, kuti kuzvirumbidza kwedu pamusoro penyu kusava pasina pachinhu ichi; kuti, sezvandakareva, muve makagadzirira;
Yet I sent the brethren, lest the glorying with which we have gloried in you in regard to this matter, should prove vain; and that ye, as I said, may be ready;
4 zvimwe pamwe, kana veMakedhonia vachiuya neni vakuwanei musina kuzvigadzirira, isu tinyadziswe (kuti tisati, imwi) pakuvimba uku kwekuzvikudza.
so that, if the Macedonians should come with me, and should find you unprepared, we-not to say, ye-should be put to shame for that glorying in which we gloried.
5 Naizvozvo ndakaona zvakafanira kukurudzira hama, kuti vatange kuuya kwamuri, uye vatange kugadzira chipo chenyu chepachena chakataurwa nezvacho kare, kuti ichi chive chakagadzirirwa, saizvozvo sechipo chepachena asi kwete sekukara.
Therefore I was careful to request these my brethren, to go before me unto you, that they might make up this benefaction, of which ye were advised long before to have it ready, as being a benefaction, and not a matter of cupidity.
6 Asi izvi kuti: Anodzvara zvishoma, anokohwawo zvishoma; neanodzvara zvizhinji, achakohwawo zvizhinji.
And this I say: He that soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall also reap bountifully.
7 Umwe neumwe sezvinoda moyo; kwete nekurwadziwa, kana nekurovererwa; nokuti Mwari anoda anopa nemufaro.
Every man, according to his own views, not with sadness, not by constraint: for the Lord loveth a joyous giver.
8 Uye Mwari anogona kukuwanzirai nyasha dzese, kuti nguva dzese muve nekuringana kwese pazvese, muwanze pabasa rese rakanaka;
For it is in the power of God, to make all good abound to you, so that ye may have, at all times, and in every thing, what is sufficient for you; and may abound in every good work.
9 sezvazvakanyorwa zvichinzi: Wakaparadzira, wakapa varombo; kururama kwake kunogara nekusingaperi. (aiōn g165)
As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor; and his righteousness is established for ever. (aiōn g165)
10 Zvino iye anopa mbeu kumudzvari, nekupa chingwa chekudya, ngaawanze mbeu dzenyu dzakadzvarwa, nekuwedzera zvibereko zvekururama kwenyu;
Now he that giveth seed to the sower, and bread for food, may he give and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
11 muchifumiswa pazvinhu zvese zvichibva pakupana kwese, zvinokonzera kubudikidza nesu kuvonga kuna Mwari.
so that in every thing, ye may be enriched unto all liberality, to the completion of our thanksgiving to God.
12 Nokuti basa rekushumira uku harizadzisi kushaiwa kwevatsvene chete, asi kunowanzisawo nekuvongwa kuzhinji kuna Mwari;
For the performance of this ministration, not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is also rich in many thanksgivings to God.
13 nekuda kweuchapupu hweshumiro iyi vanorumbidza Mwari pamusoro pekuteerera kwekupupura kwenyu evhangeri yaKristu, nekukura kwekupa kwenyu kwavari nekune vese.
For on account of the test of this ministration, we glorify God, that ye do subject yourselves to the profession of the gospel of the Messiah, and that in your liberality, ye communicate with them and with all men:
14 Uye nemunyengetero wavo pamusoro penyu, vachikushuvai nekuda kwenyasha hurusa dzaMwari pamusoro penyu.
and they put up prayer for you, with much love, because of the abundance of the grace of God that is upon you.
15 Zvino Mwari ngaavongwe nekuda kwechipo chake chisingarondedzereki.
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
