2 Korintho 8
1 Kuloilwe unyenye mulenge, akaka nia dada kuukende wang'wi Tunda nuupumilye mumatekeelo a Makedonia.
Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
2 Matungo nigeng'wa nikulu nelalwago, udu nuaulowa wao nuongeeleki nuauhimbe nuao waluga ugole ukulu nuaukende.
how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
3 Ung'waao kihenga kina aeapumilye anga naiahumile, hange ala nukukila naiahumile.
For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4 Nukuulowi nuao ienso kuupepeelya kuudu, aeakulompile kunsoko aupalung'wi muitumi uwu kuahueli.
begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
5 ite singa yigee anga naikusegile, kuleka ite, ng'wandyo aeipumilye ienso ku Mukulu. Hange akipumya ienso kitaitu kuulowa wang'wi Tunda.
This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
6 Ite aekumupepeeye u Tito, naeukondile kanziilya umulimo uwu, kuleta muukondi ukende uwu mung'waanyu.
So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
7 Kuite unyenye mukete maintu edu - muuhueli, muntambu, mumahala, kenyangulu, nukuulowa wanyu kunsoko anyu. Ite kendegeeli unye kena mukete ukende du mutendo eye.
But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
8 Kulunge ile singa ilago. Kuleka ite, kukinga ile nsoko akugemeelya lukulu nua ulowa wanyu kuugemeelya munsula aantu needu.
I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
9 Kundogoilyo mulengile ukende nua Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto. Ateze aemugole, kunsoko anyu muhimbe nsoko kena kukiila uhimbe wakwe muhume kutula miagole.
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
10 Mikani ele kumupa usigi nukumuailya. Ng'waka ung'wi nuukeile, shanga aemanzilye udu kituma ikani. Kuite aensumbeye kulituma.
I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
11 Itungo ele lipikeeli. Anga uu udu naekusumbeye nisego lakituma, hange, itee, aemuhumile gwa kuleleta mumaeli mugeeli nua uhumi wanyu.
But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
12 Kunsoko mukete nsula akituma entendo eye, inge ikani iza hange legombekile. Kusinja lemeke migulya aile nukete umuntu, singa migulya laeki numugila umuntu.
For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
13 Kunsoko umulemo uwu singa kunsoko kina neang'wi ahume kulija ubahu nu nyenye muhume kulemeeligwa. Kuleka ite, itule sawasawa.
For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
14 Udu wanyu imatungo nitungeli ukuaelya kueke nulakile. Ite uu gwa nsoko kena udu nuao ahume kuailya uula wanyu hange kena atule sawasawa.
but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
15 Ite inge anga niandekilwe “Nuanso nukete nedu mugila anga kentu kehi nekesagile nung'wenso nukete keninoo mugila anga uula wehi.
As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
16 Kuite walumbwe Itunda, naiuekie mukati ankolo ang'wa Tito inkolo yeyo yeyoo nakinya ngulu kakukela ninkete kunsoko anyu.
But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 Kunsoko singa anga udu ausingiiye imalompi itu, ingegwa aukete kinyangulu palung'wi nemalompi nanso auzile kitalanyu kuugombi wakwe ung'wenso.
For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
18 Kumutumile palung'wi nuyo umuluma nukukuligwa mumatekeelo kunsoko amulemo wakwe nuakutanantya inkani ninzinza.
We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
19 Singa uu udu, kuite gwa ausaguwe nematekeelo kulongola nusese kulekenka muianza yedu ikani ele nelaukende. Ite inge kuukulu nua Mukulu ung'wenso kunsula itu nakuaelya.
Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
20 Kuinega itule kena inonee kisusumya kukeela sese nukukeela ukende uwu nekuukenkile.
We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
21 Kuuhola ukendegeeli kituma nekekukuligwa, singanga ntongeela a Mukulu udu, kuite gwa ntongeela aantu.
Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 Hange kumutuma umuluna nemungiza palung'wi nienso. Kamugemela nkua yedu, hange kamuona ukete nsula nsoko amilemo du. Ata itungo lele ukete kinyangulu kukila kunsoko augimya nuukulu nukete mukali anyu.
We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
23 Kumpola niang'wa Tito, nuanso wipalung'wi nunene hange mituma nutemo miane kunsoko anyu. Anga kualuna itu, akutung'wa nematekee3lo. Ikulyo kung'wa Kilisto.
As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
24 Ite alageeli uulowa wanyu, hange mualagiile mumatekeelo nsoko awiloli witu kunsoko anyu.
Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
