Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Basi na kila mmoja atoe kama alivyopanga moyoni mwake. Basi naye asitoe kwa huzuni au kwa kulazimishwa. Kwa kuwa Mungu humpenda yule atoaye kwa furaha.

Buli omu akola nga bw’asazeewo mu mutima gwe, si lwa nnaku, newaakubadde olw’okuwalirizibwa, kubanga Katonda ayagala oyo agaba n’essanyu.

Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino apesa oyo akanaki kopesa kati na motema na ye, na mawa te mpe na makasi te, pamba te Nzambe alingaka moto oyo apesaka na esengo.

Que chacun donne comme il l’ a résolu en son cœur, sans tristesse ni contrainte; car Dieu aime celui qui donne avec joie.

Cada uno dé como propuso en su corazón: no con tristeza, ó por necesidad; porque Dios ama el dador alegre.

Ein jeglicher nach seiner Willkür, nicht mit Unwillen oder aus Zwang; denn einen fröhlichen Geber hat Gott lieb.

Cada um dê conforme determinou em seu coração, não com relutância nem por obrigação, pois Deus ama quem dá com alegria.
