Okugaba kw’Abakristaayo
8 (A)Kaakano tubategeeza abooluganda, ekisa kya Katonda ekyaweebwa ekkanisa z’e Makedoniya. 2 Mu kugezesebwa okw’okubonaabona, baagattika essanyu lyabwe ery’ekitalo n’obwavu bwabwe obungi, ne bafunamu okugaba okwewuunyizibwa ennyo. 3 (B)Tebaagaba kutuuka we basobola wokka, naye nawo baasukkawo, era baagaba lwa kweyagalira. 4 (C)Baatwegayirira tubatwalire ebirabo byabwe, nabo basanyukire wamu ne bannaabwe abaweerezza obuyambi eri abatukuvu. 5 Ate era kye twali tutasuubidde, baasooka kwewaayo eri Mukama, n’oluvannyuma gye tuli olw’okwagala kwa Katonda. 6 (D)Kyatugwanira okusaba Tito, nga bwe yasooka okubaweereza, ajje atuukirize n’ekikolwa ekyo eky’ekisa. 7 (E)Naye nga bwe musukirira mu bintu byonna, mu kukkiriza, ne mu kigambo, ne mu kutegeera, ne mu kunyiikira kwonna, twagala okulaba nga ne mu kisa kino musukirira.
8 (F)Sibawa kiragiro, wabula olw’okunyiikira kw’abalala n’okugezesa okwagala kwammwe nga kw’amazima. 9 (G)Kubanga mumanyi ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo nga bwe yafuka omwavu ku lwammwe, mwe mulyoke mugaggawale.
10 (H)Amagezi ge mbawa ge gano nti mumalirize ekyo kye mwatandikako mu mwaka ogwayita, kubanga si mmwe mwasooka okuleeta ekirowoozo ekyo ate era si mmwe mwali ababereberye mu kutandika okukikolerako. 11 (I)Naye kaakano mu bumalirivu bwammwe mu kwagala okukikola, mumalirize omulimu ogwo, okusinziira kw’ekyo kye mulina. 12 (J)Kuba obanga mulina obumalirivu nga buli muntu bw’alina, buli muntu aweeyo okusinziira ku ekyo ky’alina so si ky’atalina.
13 Abalala baleme kuyambibwa ate nga mmwe munyigirizibwa, walyoke wabeewo, okwenkanankana. 14 (K)Kaakano bye mulina ebingi biyambe abo abali mu kwetaaga, ate ebyabwe bye baliba nabyo ebingi biribayamba nga muli mu kwetaaga. 15 (L)Nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti, “Oyo eyakuŋŋaanyanga ennyingi teyasigazangawo, n’eyakuŋŋaanyanga entono ng’emumala bumazi.”
Tito atumibwa e Kkolinso ne banne
16 (M)Kyokka Katonda yeebazibwe eyassa obunyiikivu bwe bumu mu mutima gwa Tito ku lwammwe. 17 (N)Olw’okuzzibwamu amaanyi kwe yafuna, n’olw’okufuba kwe, yajja gye muli. 18 (O)Era tutumye wamu naye owooluganda atenderezebwa olw’enjiri mu kkanisa zonna, 19 (P)naye si ekyo kyokka wabula yalondebwa okutambulanga naffe olw’ekisa kye tuweereza ffe olwa Mukama waffe yennyini n’olw’okugulumiza n’okulaga nga bwe twetegese okuyamba, 20 nga twewala omuntu yenna okutunenya olw’ekirabo kino kye tuweereza. 21 (Q)Kubanga kye tugenderera kwe kukola ebirungi, si mu maaso ga Katonda yekka wabula ne mu maaso g’abantu.
22 Era awamu nabo twabatumira owooluganda gwe tukakasizza nga munyiikivu mu bintu bingi era nga ne kaakano munyiikivu nnyo olw’obwesige bw’abalinamu. 23 (R)Singa wabaawo ayagala okumanya ebifa ku Tito, tukolagana, mukozi munnange; abooluganda, bo batume ba kkanisa, olw’ekitiibwa kya Kristo. 24 (S)Noolwekyo okwagala kwammwe n’okwenyumiriza kwammwe byeyoleke gye bali.

The Collection for the Lord’s People
8 And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian(A) churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.(B) 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able,(C) and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing(D) in this service(E) to the Lord’s people.(F) 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged(G) Titus,(H) just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion(I) this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything(J)—in faith, in speech, in knowledge,(K) in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you[a]—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8 I am not commanding you,(L) but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9 For you know the grace(M) of our Lord Jesus Christ,(N) that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor,(O) so that you through his poverty might become rich.(P)
10 And here is my judgment(Q) about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so.(R) 11 Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness(S) to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. 12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has,(T) not according to what one does not have.
13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need,(U) so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, 15 as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.”[b](V)
Titus Sent to Receive the Collection
16 Thanks be to God,(W) who put into the heart(X) of Titus(Y) the same concern I have for you. 17 For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative.(Z) 18 And we are sending along with him the brother(AA) who is praised by all the churches(AB) for his service to the gospel.(AC) 19 What is more, he was chosen by the churches to accompany us(AD) as we carry the offering, which we administer in order to honor the Lord himself and to show our eagerness to help.(AE) 20 We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift. 21 For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man.(AF)
22 In addition, we are sending with them our brother who has often proved to us in many ways that he is zealous, and now even more so because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for Titus,(AG) he is my partner(AH) and co-worker(AI) among you; as for our brothers,(AJ) they are representatives of the churches and an honor to Christ. 24 Therefore show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our pride in you,(AK) so that the churches can see it.
