2 VaKorinde 9

¹Nokuti kana kuri kushumira vatsvene, handifaniri kuti ndikunyorerei;For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

²nokuti ndinoziva kuda kwomoyo yenyu, kwandinorumbidza pamusoro penyu kunavaMakedhonia, kuti vaAkaya vakanga vazvigadzira kubvira makei; nokushingaira kwenyu kwakamutsa vazhinji.For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

³Zvino, ndakatuma hama idzi, kuti kuzvirumbidza kwedu pamusoro penyu kurege kuitwa pasina pachinhu ichi; kuti, sezvandakareva, mugare makazvigadzira;Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

⁴kuti zvimwe kana vamwe veMakedhonia vachivuya neni, vakakuwanai musina kuzvigadzira, isu(hatirevi imi) tirege kunyadziswa pakutenda uku.Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

⁵Naizvozvo ndakati zvakafanira kuti ndiraire hama idzi, kuti vatange kuenda kwamuri, vatange kumbogadzira chipo chokuvonga chamakapikira kare, kuti ichi chigare chakagadzirwa chiri chipo chokuvonga, chirege kuva chinhu chatorwa nesimba,Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

⁶Zvino rangarirai chinhu ichi: Unodzwara zvishoma, unocheka vo zvishoma; unodzwara zvizhinji, uchacheka vo zvizhinji.But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

⁷Mumwe nomumwe ngaaite sezvaakafunga pamoyo; arege kuita nokuchema, kana nokurovererwa; nokuti Mwari unoda munhu unopa nomufaro.Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁸Mwari unogona kukuwanzirai nyasha dzose kuti nguva dzose muve nokuringana kwose pazvose, kuti muwanze mabasa ose akanaka;And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

⁹sezvazvakanyorwa, zvichinzi; Iye wakaparadzira, iye wakapa varombo; Kururama kwake kunogara nokusingaperi.(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

¹⁰Zvino iye, unopa mudzwari mbeu nechingwa, kuti zvive zvokudya, uchakupaivo mbeu dzokudzwara achidziwanza, nokuwedzera zvibereko zvokururama kwenyu;Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

¹¹muchifumiswa pazvose mugoziva kupa zvakawanda, zvinoti, kana zvichiitwa nesu, Mwari unovigirwa nazvo kuvonga.Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

¹²Nokuti kushumira kwokubatsira uku hakuzadzisi kushaiwa kwavatsvene bedzi, asi kunowanzisa vo kuvonga kunaMwari;For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

¹³nokuda kwezvinovonekwa pakushumira uku vanorumbidza Mwari, pamusoro pokupupura kwenyu kwakaterera Evhangeri yaKristu, napamusoro pokupa kwenyu zvakawanda kwavari nokuna vose.Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection into the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

¹⁴Naivo vamene vanokushuvai, vachikukumbirirai, nokuda kwenyasha huru-huru dzaMwari pamusoro penyu.And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

¹⁵Mwari ngaavongwe pamusoro pechipo chake, chisingagoni kurondedzerwa.Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
