2 VaKorinde 8

¹Zvino tinokuzivisai, hama dzangu, nyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa pakereke dzeMakedhonia;Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

²kuti pakati pokuidzwa kukuru kwokutambudzika, mufaro wavo mukuru, pamwe chete novurombo bwavo bwukuru, zvakawanza zvikuru kusanyima kwavo.How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

³Nokuti ndinopupura, kuti vakapa nokuda kwavo pavakagona napo, kunyange kupfuvura pavakagona napo;For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;

⁴vakakumbira nokunyengetera kukuru kwatiri kuti tivatendere kuita basa iri renyasha nokusongana pakushumira vatsvene;Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.

⁵havana kuita sezvatakafunga bedzi, asi ivo vakatanga kuzvipa kunaShe, nokwatiri, nokuda kwaMwari.And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.

⁶Naizvozvo takakumbira zvikuru kunaTito, kuti sezvaakanga atanga, apedzise basa iri renyasha pakati penyu vo.Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

⁷Zvino se zvamakapfuvurira mberi pazvinhu zvose, pakutenda, napakutaura, napakuziva, napakushingaira kwose, naparudo rwenyu kwatiri, tarirai kuti mupfuvurire mberi pabasa iri renyasha vo.Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

⁸Handirevi ndichiraira, asi kuti ndiidze ndizive nokushingaira kwavamwe kana rudo rwenyu ndorwa zvokwadi vo.I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

⁹Nokuti munoziva nyasha dzaShe wedu, Jesu Kristu, kuti kunyange akanga akafuma, wakava murombo nokuda kwenyu, kuti imi novurombo bwake muve vafumi.For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

¹⁰Pachinhu ichi ndinokuvudzai kufunga kwangu; nokuti zvichakubatsirai, nokuti ndimi makatangira vamwe makei, musingaiti bedzi, asi muchida vo.And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

¹¹Asi zvino pedzisai kuita vo; sezvamakanga munomoyo unoda, saizvozvo pedzisai vo pamunogona napo.Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

¹²Nokuti kana moyo wokupa uripo, chipo chinofadza zvichiinda nokuwana kwomunhu, zvisingaindi nokushaiwa kwomunhu.For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

¹³Nokuti handirevi kudaro ndichiti vamwe varerukirwe, imi muremerwe; asi kuti muenzane;For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

¹⁴kuti panguva ino kuwana kwenyu kubatsire kushaiwa kwavo, kuti kuwana kwavo kubatsire kushaiwa kwenyu vo; kuti kuve nokuenzana;But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:

¹⁵sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi: Wakavunganidza zvizhinji, haana kusarirwa nechinhu; naiye wakavunganidza zvishoma, haana kushaiwa.As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

¹⁶Zvino Mwari ngaavongwe, wakaisa mumoyo maTito kushingaira kwakadaro kwamuri.But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.

¹⁷Nokuti wakanzwa hake kuraira kwedu, asi zvaakanga achishingaira zvikuru, wakaenda kwamuri, nokuda kwake hake.For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

¹⁸Zvino takatuma pamwe chete naye hama iya, inorumbidzwa paEvhangeri pakereke dzose;And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;

¹⁹zvisati zviri izvozvo bedzi, asi iye wakasanangurwa vo nekereke kuti atiperekedze pabasa iri renyasha, rinoitwa nesu, kuti iye Mwari akudzwe; vuye kuda kwomoyo wedu kuratidzwe;And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:

²⁰tichizvichenjerera, kuti kurege kuva nomunhu ungatipa mhosva pamusoro pezvakawanda izvi, zvatinobata nazvo.Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:

²¹Nokuti hatitsvaki zvinhu zvakanaka pamberi paShe bedzi, asi pamberi pavanhu vo.Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

²²Takatuma vo navo hama yedu, yatakaidza kazhinji tikavona kuti unoshingaira pazvinhu zvizhinji; asi zvino unonyanya kushingaira nokuda kwokutenda kukuru kwaanako kwamuri.And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.

²³Kana ari Tito, ndiye shamwari yangu, nomubatsiri wangu kwamuri, kana dziri hama dzedu, ndivo vaapostora vekereke vuye kukudzwa kwaKristu.Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

²⁴Naizvozvo muvaratidze napamberi pekereke chiratidzo chorudo rwenyu nechokurumbidza kwedu pamusoro penyu.Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
