2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Mpo na ngai, ezali na tina te ya kokomela bino na tina na lisungi ya kopesa na basantu,
2 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.
pamba te nayebi molende na bino mpo na kosunga, mpe nazalaki komikumisa na tina na yango epai ya bato ya Masedwane. Nazalaki koloba na bango: « Kati na Akayi, wuta na mobu oyo eleki, bazali ya kobongama mpo na kopesa. » Mpe bolingo na bino etindikaki bato mingi kati na bango na kosunga.
3 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,
Kasi nazali kotindela bino bandeko mpo ete, na likambo yango, lolendo na biso na tina na bino emonana te lokola ya pamba, kasi mpo ete bozala penza ya kobongama, ndenge kaka nalobaki yango.
4 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.
Pamba te soki bato ya Masedwane bayei elongo na ngai mpe bakuti bino bozali ya kobongama te, tokoyoka penza soni, mpo ete tozali penza kotiela bino motema; mpe ekozala soni na biso kaka te, kasi soni na bino mpe lokola.
5 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.
Yango wana, namonaki ete ezali malamu kosenga na bandeko yango ete bakoma epai na bino liboso na ngai, mpo na kobongisa makabo oyo bolakaki. Boye ekomizalela tango ngai nakokoma, mpe ekolakisa ete bopesaki yango na esengo mpe na bonsomi, kasi na makasi te.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Bokanisaka likambo oyo: Moto oyo alonaka moke abukaka mpe moke, mpe moto oyo alonaka ebele abukaka mpe ebele.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
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.
8 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.
Nzambe azali mpe na makoki ya kotondisa bino na mapamboli ya ndenge na ndenge mpo ete, na tango nyonso mpe kati na makambo nyonso, bozala na nyonso oyo bozali na yango na bosenga mpe botonda lisusu na oyo bokosala na yango misala ya malamu ya lolenge nyonso,
9 As it is written, "He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains for the age (aiōn g165)."
kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Akabelaka babola na motema ya esengo, mpe bosembo na Ye ewumelaka libela na libela. » (aiōn g165)
10 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,
Mpe Ye oyo apesaka nkona epai ya moloni mpe lipa lokola bilei akopesa lisusu, akofulukisa nkona na bino mpe akokolisa bambuma ya bosembo na bino.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
Boye bokokoma bazwi ya biloko nyonso mpo ete bokoka kokabaka tango nyonso; bongo bato epai ya banani tokopesa makabo na bino bakozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe.
12 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,
Pamba te lotomo ya makabo na bino ezali kaka te mpo na kokokisa bosenga ya basantu, kasi ezali mpe mpo ete matondi mingi ezonga epai ya Nzambe.
13 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,
Mpo ete lotomo yango ekotalisa bosolo ya komipesa na bino, basantu bakokumisa Nzambe mpo na botosi ya kondima na bino kati na Sango Malamu ya Klisto, mpe mpo na esengo oyo mitema na bino ezali na yango mpo na kokabola biloko na bino elongo na bango mpe elongo na bato nyonso.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Mpe bakosambela mpo na bino, mpo na kolakisa bolingo makasi oyo bazali na yango mpo na bino, likolo ya ngolu monene oyo Nzambe apesa bino.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Tika ete matondi epesamela Nzambe mpo na likabo na Ye, oyo bato bakoki kolimbola te!
