1Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia;
1Nebɣa a kkun-nesseɛlem ay atmaten ɣef wayen yeɛnan ṛṛeḥma i d-yefka Sidi Ṛebbi i tejmuyaɛ n imasiḥiyen yellan di tmurt n Masidunya ;
2how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
2țwajeṛben s waṭas n lmeḥnat, lameɛna lfeṛḥ-nsen yețnerni. ?as akken d igellilen i llan yerna xuṣṣen aṭas, seddqen mbla cceḥḥa ;
3For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
3fkan-d ayen iwumi zemren ; aql-iyi d inigi, zemreɣ a d-iniɣ fkan-d nnig n tezmert-nsen yerna xedmen ayagi s lebɣi-nsen.
4begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
4Ssutren-aɣ-d s uḥellel iwakken a sen-nexdem lemziya a d-fken ula d nutni amur-nsen n ssadaqa-agi i njemmeɛ iwakken a ț-țnawi i watmaten n tmurt n Yahuda yellan di lexṣas.
5This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
5Zwaren deg iman-nsen mi fkan tudert-nsen i Ṛebbi, imiren s lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi, rnan qeddcen fell-aɣ seg ul ; ayagi sennig wayen nessaram !
6So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
6S wakka ihi, nweṣṣa gma-tneɣ Titus ad ikemmel lxedma-nni i gebda ɣuṛ-wen ɣef wayen yeɛnan ssadaqa agi.
7But 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.
7Am akken i tẓewṛem di kullec, ama di liman neɣ deg wawal, ama di tmusni neɣ di lemḥibba i tesɛam ɣuṛ-nneɣ, ẓewṛet daɣen di temsalt yeɛnan ssadaqa.
8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
8Mačči d lameṛ i bɣiɣ a wen-d fkeɣ ; ḥkiɣ-awen amek i zewṛen wiyaḍ, iwakken a kkun-jeṛṛbeɣ ma tesɛam leḥmala n tideț neɣ ala.
9For 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.
9Tessnem ṛṛeḥma n Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ yellan d Bab n lerbaḥ n ddunit meṛṛa, yuɣal d igellil ɣef ddemma-nwen iwakken a kkun isserbeḥ s tigellelt-ines.
10I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
10A wen-d-fkeɣ ṛṛay-iw deg wayagi axaṭer d ayen i wen-ilhan : aseggas iɛeddan, d kunwi i d imezwura i gebɣan aț-țɛiwnem atmaten n tmurt n Yahuda yellan di lexṣaṣ, d kunwi daɣen i d imezwura i gebdan tjemmɛem-d ssadaqa-agi ;
11But 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.
11ihi tura kemmlet ccɣel-agi i tebdam, s wayen iwumi tzemrem ; am akken i t-tebdam seg ul, kemmlet-eț s wul.
12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
12Sidi Ṛebbi iqebbel ssadaqa-nneɣ, lameɛna s wakken tella tezmert-nneɣ, mačči sennig wayen nezmer.
13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
13Ur nebɣi ara a d-nini xlut ixxamen-nwen iwakken aț-țɛiwnem wiyaḍ, lameɛna iwakken aț-țemɛadalem ;
14but 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.
14ayen tesɛam d zzyada ad yenfeɛ wid ixuṣṣen tura, iwakken asm'ara txuṣṣem kunwi, a kkun-ɛiwnen s wayen sɛan d zzyada ; s wakka ihi aț-țemɛadalem,
15As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.” Exodus 16:8
15akken yura di tira iqedsen : Win yesɛan aṭas ur yesɛi ara zzyada, ma d win yesɛan cwiṭ ur t-ixuṣṣ kra .
16But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
16A neḥmed Sidi Ṛebbi ɣef gma tneɣ Titus imi yețḥebbiṛ fell-awen am nukni.
17For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
17Yeqbel mi t-in-nceggeɛ, yerna uqbel a s-nini yella iqsed a n-iruḥ ɣuṛ wen s lfeṛḥ d ameqqran.
18We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the assemblies.
18A nceggeɛ yid-es yiwen seg watmaten-nneɣ i cekkṛent akk tejmuyaɛ n watmaten ɣef lxedma-ines deg ubecceṛ n lexbaṛ n lxiṛ ;
19Not only so, but who 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.
19ur yețwaxtaṛ ara kan d aṛfiq, lameɛna ț-țijmuyaɛ n watmaten i t-ixtaṛen iwakken a ɣ-iɛiwen di ccɣel agi yeɛnan ssadaqa ɣef ddemma n tmanegt n Sidi Ṛebbi, s wakka daɣen a d-nbeggen acḥal nebɣa a nɛiwen wiyaḍ.
20We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
20Nețḥadar iman-nneɣ iwakken ur heddṛen ara fell-aɣ lɣaci ɣef wayen yeɛnan aḍebbeṛ i nețḍebbiṛ di ssadaqa agi, axaṭer aṭas n yedrimen i d nejmeɛ ;
21Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21nețqellib ayen yelhan ama zdat Sidi Ṛebbi ama zdat yemdanen.
22We 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.
22Nceggeɛ yid-sen gma-tneɣ agi i njeṛṛeb acḥal d abrid di yal taswiɛt, nwala amek yebɣa ad iqdec seg ul ; tikkelt-agi ẓẓwaṛa-ines di leqdic ɣef Sidi Ṛebbi tban-ed akteṛ, axaṭer yețkel fell-awen.
23As 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.
23?ef wayen yeɛnan gma-tneɣ Titus, d arfiq-iw yerna ixeddem yid-i ɣef ddemma-nwen, ma d atmaten nniḍen, d imceggɛen n tejmuyaɛ n watmaten ; qeddcen iwakken a d tban tmanegt n Lmasiḥ.
24Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Sbeggnet-ed ihi belli tḥemmlem ten s tideț iwakken tijmuyaɛ n watmaten ad ẓrent belli nesɛa lḥeqq imi nețzuxxu yis-wen.
