2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
N buakaaba, ti bua yin bandi, U Tienu n suani maama Maseduani jaandieli nni ki tɔgini u ŋalbaliga po i.
2 how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
Yeni yaa fala n den baa kuli, bi gua li ye li pamanciali nni. Yeni bi taladima kuli, bi den tieni ti bulcindi hali boncianla.
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
kelima n tie sieda, bi bulcintuona kuli den tie yanbuanma.
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
Bi den buali ti ke tin cabiba ke bi mɔn kua bi niŋanma nni.
5 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.
Li den tie yaalidigu kelima bi daa den cindi ki taa laa bilaa ki cabi U Tienu yo, ke U Tienu buama nni ke ti yuandi ki tugi bi baa ki cabi ti mɔ.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Li po n cedi ki ti den daani Titi, ki wan yua den cindi ki suan yeniba n guani ki juodi o tuoli yeni ti bulcindi.
7 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.
Yin pia yaali kuli n tie yaa ŋalimani cianla i n ki pia li dandanli, ki bani U Tienu maama, ki bani i mɔni, ki suani li tuonli yeni pakɔnli ki bua ti. Mɔndi mani ki waani i bulcindi yeni li papienli.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Li ki tie mabili kaa ki yin tieniyeni i lieba n deni sɔni yeni li pakɔnli, n bua diidi ki laa U buama tie yeni li papienli?
9 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.
Ama i bani yonmidaano Jesu Krisiti ŋalibaliga, o den tie ŋalimani daano, ki tua taligi ti yaa po ke lan fidi o taladima n tua o piama.
10 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.
Min maali yaala i po n ne: N ban ke lan n dagidi ipo, ki dugini yin cili hali jelo ki suani ti tuonli, lan baa baa ke o mɔni, yimba n jagi i yanma n ni ki cuo ki sɔni li tuonli.
11 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.
Mɔla mɔndi mani ki juodi li tuonli. I pala n da kɔni ke i jagi ki cuo yinba sɔnimaama yeni ki kan fidi yeni, sɔni mani yin paani yaala.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
Ke dugni nilo yaa puni paabu yeni li papienli U Tienu bi tuoli paabu, o nua u daani n pia yaali, o ki nua wan ki pia yaala kaa.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Li ki tie ke tin yin kpegdi tin pia yaala ki teni ti lieba ka, ki guani ki yacagini. Li buali ke ti kuli n yaa dɔ i.
14 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.
I yaa pia, yin bɔgidi ki todi yaaba n ki pia. Li yaa pɔdi yaa daali, ban mɔndi ti todi i yeni i bi laa ke li ŋani.
15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
Nani lan diani U Tienu tili nni; «yua n bo wuadi ke li yaabi bo ki dii sieni, yua n bo wodi ke li waa mɔ bo ki dini ke li pɔdi o.»
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
U Tienu n gaa balga yeni wan cedi ke Tite pali kɔni i po nani ti mɔ yaa pali n kɔni i po maama yeni.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Ti den sɔni o i kani ke o den tuo ki gadi. Li den sua ke o pali kɔni li gadima po yo ke o den tieni toni ki gadi.
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
O den yegi yeni o nataano yua ke ti jaandiedi kuli den bani o li mamɔnli po.
19 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.
Lani baba ka, ti jaandiedi nni yaaba kuli den taani ki lugidi o ke wan ciani ti ke ti gadi yeni u paabu yua ke ti gaani. U Tienu mɔno yaa yudaandipo i yeni ti mo yaa baanma po i ke ti suani li tuona ki todi lieba.
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Ban teni ti ya paabu ne tie ligigbengi, ti ki bua jaligi baa n ti baa li lig po.
21 Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Ti kpaani tin tieni yaala n ŋani, U Tienu nunga nni baba ka, ama bi niba nunga nni mɔ.
22 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.
Bani yeni tinba ki pugini ti kpilo ba ke o gbadi a maama ki bia suani li tuoŋanli i dandanli yapo.
23 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.
Tite wan tie o yegini o ki suani ki todi, Ti nataano yaaba n yegi yeni o wan tie U Tienu tonda i. Bi suani ke ban duoni Krisiti yeli.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Li wangi ki li bua yeni i mɔni Krisiti yaaba n la ki bandi ke ti pia i mɔni yeni tin yaa pagi bi nunga nni.
