16 Naho ku birebana no gukusanya imfashanyo zigenewe abigishwa ba Kristo,*+ muzabikore nk’uko nategetse amatorero y’i Galatiya.

8 None rero bavandimwe, turashaka kubamenyesha ibihereranye n’ineza ihebuje* Imana yagaragarije amatorero y’i Makedoniya.+ 2 Bahuye n’ibigeragezo bikomeye hamwe n’imibabaro. Nyamara ibyishimo byabo byinshi byatumye batanga batizigamye nubwo bari bafite ubukene bukabije. 3 Dukurikije ubushobozi bari bafite,+ ndahamya ko ibyo bakoze byari birenze ubushobozi bwabo.+ 4 Bakomezaga kudusaba batwinginga cyane ngo tubareke na bo bagire icyo batanga, kandi bagire uruhare muri uwo murimo wo gufasha abigishwa ba Kristo.*+

2 Nzi neza ko mushaka gufasha. Ni na yo mpamvu mbavuga neza mu Bakristo b’i Makedoniya. Navuze ko mwebwe Abakristo bo muri Akaya* mumaze umwaka wose mwifuza kugira icyo mutanga. Kuba mwaragize umwete wo gutanga, ni byo byatumye abenshi mu Bakristo b’i Makedoniya na bo bifuza kugira icyo batanga.

12 Uyu murimo wo gufasha abandi, ntugamije gusa guha abigishwa ba Kristo*+ ibyo bakeneye, ahubwo nanone utuma abantu benshi bashimira Imana.
