2 Jo-Korintho 9
1 Onge tiende mondo andiknu kendo kuom kony monego oor ni jo-Nyasaye.
It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
2 Angʼeyo ni uikoru konyo, kendo asepwoyou ni jo-Makedonia, ka anyisogi ni owete man Akaya osebedo moikore konyo chakre higa mokalo kendo ramo maru osejiwo thothgi.
for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
3 Koro ee aoro owetegi mondo pwochwa kuomu kuom wachni kik lokre mana weche manono; to mondo giyudu kuikoru mana kaka ne asewachonegi.
But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
4 Nono to, ka jo-Makedoniagi obiro koda moyudo ka ok uikoru, wiwa dikuodi, ka ok awuoyo kuom wichkuot ma un bende duyudi, nikech geno maduongʼ ma waseketo kuomu.
lest by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there with me and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) would be disappointed in this confident boasting.
5 Kuom mano, ne aneno ni ber mondo ajiw owetegi mondo olimu chon mondo utiek chenro duto mag chiwo mag ngʼwono mane usesingoru ni ubiro chiwo. Kamano, ka abiro to anayud ka chiwo maru mar ngʼwono oikore, kendo mano nonyis ni uchiwe gi ngʼwono, to ok kuom achuna.
I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
6 Paruru wachni: Ngʼat mochwoyo kodhi manok kayo cham manok, to ngʼat mochwoyo kothe mangʼeny kayo cham mangʼeny.
Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 Ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo ochiw kaka chunye oyiero, ma ok oywago angʼe, kata nikech ochune, nimar Nyasaye ohero ngʼat ma chiwone ka mor.
Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 To Nyasaye nyalo miyo ubed gi gweth mogundho, mondo kinde duto ubed gi gik moko duto munyalo konyorugo un uwegi, kod mamoko malangʼ munyalo konyogo joma moko.
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
10 Koro Jal machiwo kodhi ne jachwoyo kendo machiwo chiemo michamo biro chiwonu kendo medonu nyadi mangʼeny kodhi michwoyo kendo obiro miyo timu makare medore.
Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11 Obiro miyo udok jo-mwandu e yore duto, mondo ubed mangʼwon kinde duto, kendo mondo ji mangʼeny odwok erokamano ni Nyasaye kuom mich mane watero nigi koa kuomu.
you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
12 Nikech tich ma utimo ok chop mana dwaro jo-Nyasaye kende, to bende omiyo ji dwoko erokamano ne Nyasaye nikech kony ma giyudo.
For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,
13 Kuom nyiso ni uchungʼ kodwa e tijni, umiyo Nyasaye duongʼ nikech mano nyiso ni umako chik mar Injili mar Kristo mwalando, kuom ngʼwono mane omiyo uyie pogo kodgi giu, kaachiel gi jomoko bende.
seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,
14 Omiyo gibiro lamonu Nyasaye, ka chunygi otwere kodu, kuom ngʼwono mogundho ma Nyasaye osemiyou.
while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Wagouru erokamano ne Nyasaye kuom michne maduongʼ mokalo apima!
Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
