2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
Tuyanda kuziba, bakwesu, aatala aluzyalo lwaLeza lwakapegwa mambungano aaMakkedoniya.
2 how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
Muchiindi chakusunkwa kumasukuusyo mapati, akukondwa kuzulilide, abuchete bwabo bwiindilide bakaba aabuvubi bupati bwabuuya.
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Elyo ndipa bukamboni kuti bakapa mubwiingi mbuli mbubakali kukonzya, mpawo nikuba kwiindilila mpubakali kukonzya, elyo mukwiindila mukwaangunuka kwabo
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the holy ones.
bakatukombelezya kwamoyo woonse mucheelelo chakwaabana muli ooku kugwasya basalali baLeza.
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.
Eechi techakachitika mbuli mbutwakali kulangilila, pesi bakatanguna kulipeda kuMwaami lwabo mpawo akulindiswe mukwiinda mukuyanda kwaLeza.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Elyo twakasungwaazya Tayitasi, ooyo wakali watalika kale mulimu ooyu, kuti amninizye kuchita kwaluzyalo oku.
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.
Pesi mujatikizye zyoonse - mulusyomo, mukwaambula, muluzibo, mubukozu boonse, muluyando lwenu ndumulaalo kulindiswe. Elyo alubo amubone kuti mwiinkilila kunembo mukuchita luzyalo olu.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Tandili kwaamba oobu chakwaangila, pesi, ndaamba oobu kuti ndisunke kunika kwaluyando lwenu mukweelanisya alo kuchiyandisyo chabamwi bantu.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
Nkaambo mulizi luzyalo lwaMwaami wesu Jesu Kkilisito. Nikuba kuti wakali muvubi wakaba muchete nkaambo kesu, kuchitila kuti mukwiinda mukufwaba kwakwe tube bavubi.
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.
Mukaambo aaka ndiyoomupa nchenjezyo iyoomugwasya. Munyaka omwe wiindide tamutalikide biyo kuchita chimwi chintu pesi mwakaaba aachiyandisyo kuti muchichite.
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.
Lino amuchimaninsye. Mbuli mbukwakalichiyandisyo akumaninina mukuchichita lino, alubo ngamuchimaninizye mubupati mbumukonzya.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
Pesi na kolaachiyandisisyo chakuchita inchito eeyi, nchintu chibotu chitambulika. Cheelede kweendelana azintu muntu nzyaleezyo, pe pe kuleezyo nzyatakweezyo.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Nkaambo oku takuli mbuli kuubisizya bamwi eelyo kulinduwe kube buyumuyumu. Anu kuti, kweelede kweelana.
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.
Ikuzulila kwenu muchiindi eechino kuyoobeetela eezyo nzibayanda. Kuli mbubo akulako kuti buzulile bwabo bumweetele nzimuyanda, eelyo kuti kube kweelana.
15 As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
Chili mbuli mbuchilembedwe: “Ooyo iwakali aazyiingi takwe nzyaakakuchala azyo, mpawo ooyo wakali aziche takwe nakabula.”
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Pesi kulumba akube kuliLeza, ooyo wakabika muliTayitasi moyo wakulikkataazya aatala abamwi mbuli mbundilaawo kulindinywe.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Nkaambo tatambwide buyo chikkumbizyo chesu pesi wakalikkataazya loko kulinzizyo. Wakaaza kulindinywe mukuyanda kwakwe mwini.
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
Twakamutuma aamwi amukwesu uulumbayizigwa mumambungano woonse kumulimu wakwe wakwaambilizya makani mabotu.
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.
Kutali eezi azilike, pesi alubo wakasalwa amambungano kuti abe sikweenda awe munyendo anchito eeyi yaluzyalo, ilikweendelezegwa andiswe mubulemu bwaMwaami lwakwe akuyanda kwesu kubotu.
20 We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Tulikuchitila kuti umwi atakonzyi kutongooka aatala abuuya mbutuyobuchita.
21 Having regard for honourable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Tulabamba mukuchita zilikabotu, kutali kunembo lyaMwaami luzutu pesi akunembo lyabantu lubo.
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.
Tulikutuma lubo umwi mukwesu aamwi ambabo. Twakamusunka munzila nyingi mpawo twakajana kali aabukozu kumilimu myiingi. Alubo ulisungweete kapati lino nkaambo kabusichaamba bupati mbwalaabo kulindinywe.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the emissaries of the assemblies, the glory of Messiah.
Mbuli Tayitasi, ooyu mweenzuma alubo ngusimilimuma kulindinywe. Mbuli kubakwesu, mbeendelezi bamakani kuzwa mumambungano. Eelyo mbulemu kuli Kkilisito.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
Eelyo amubatondeezye luyando lwenu, alubo amutondeezye mambungano kuti nkaambonzi nitulikankayizya aatala andinywe.
