2 Ŵakolinto 9

1 Kwa ngani jankati kwajauchisya indu yetyosekwe kwa ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵakutama ku Yudea, nganingola ligongo lya kunnembela sooni.

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

2 Pakuŵa ngumanyilila intite pakukola ntima wa kupeleganya, noneji ngulilapa nkati ngani jo kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Makedonia, njasalilaga kuti ŵandu ŵa ku Akaya aliŵisile chile kupeleganya chitandilile mwacheso. Nipele ntima wenu wakupeleganya wachisisye ŵandu achajinji, akole ntima wakupeleganya.

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.

3 Nambo sambano ngwatuma achalongo achinjetu ŵa kuti kulilapa kwetu nkati ŵanyamwe kunaŵe kwa iyiyipeyi, mpela indite pakusala nliŵiche chile kwakamusya.

But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:

4 Iŵaga akwika ŵa ku Makedonia pamo ni une ni kunsimana nganinliŵiche chile, tutujaluche pakuŵa twalilapile kwaligongo lyenu, ni ŵanyamwe ŵakwe chinchikola soni.

lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.

5 Kwayele, naiweni yambone naŵende achalongo ŵa alongolele kwika kweleko kuti aŵiche chile mitulilo jimwalanjile kupeleganya. Mitulilo jo chijilosye kuti nkupeleganya kwa usache wenu ni ngaŵa kwa kukanganichiswa.

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.

6 Nkumbuchile yakuti, jwakupanda kanondi chagungule kanondi, nombe jwakupanda yeijinji chagungule yeijinji.

But this [I say], He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7 Mundu jwalijose apeleganye chasachile muntima mwakwe kupeleganya, ngaŵa kwa kukanganichiswa namose kwakusupuka, pakuŵa Akunnungu akunnonyela jwakupeleganya kwa kusangalala.

[Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

8 Ni Akunnungu akukombola kumpa ŵanyamwe kupunda aila yaikunsoŵa kuti katema kose nkole indu yejinji yakupanganyichisya masengo gagali gambone.

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

9 Mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu igakuti kusala, “Jwele jwakwapa ŵakulaga kwa kusangalala. Umbone wakwe ukutama moŵa gose pangali mbesi.” (aiōn g165)

as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)

10 Akunnungu ni ŵakwapa jwakupanda mbeju ni chakulya. Iyoyo champe ŵanyamwe mbeju syasikunsoŵa ni kusimelesya nombewo chachinjonjechesya magungulo kwa upeleganyo wenu wambone.

And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

11 Ŵanyamwe chimme ŵakusichila kuti mme ŵakupeleganya kwa kusangalala moŵa gose ni ŵandu chiŵatogolele Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya mitulilo japochele kwa litala lyetu uwe.

ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

12 Pakuŵa masengo gakupeleganya gankugapanganya ga, ngaŵa kwakwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu indu yaikwasoŵa pe, nambo chigakamusye ŵandu achajinji kwatogolela Akunnungu.

For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;

13 Malinga ni kupeleganya kwenu kwaunonyelo, ŵandu chiŵakusye Akunnungu kwaligongo lya kwitichisya kwenu ni kujikamulisya Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito pamo ni ntima wa kupeleganya kunkwapa ŵele ni ŵandu wose.

seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all;

14 Nombewo chachimpopelela ŵanyamwe kwa ntima wa unonyelo, kwaligongo lya indu yekulungwa yampanganyichisye Akunnungu.

while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

15 Twatogolele Akunnungu kwa ntulilo wao wejinji wangaukuŵalanjika.

Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
