2 Corinthians 9
1 Now about the service to the saints, there is no need for me to write to you.
Fa ny amin’ ny fiantrana ho an’ ny olona masìna, dia tsy misy tokony hanoratako aminareo;
2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.
fa fantatro ny fahazotoanareo, izay ataoko rehareha ny aminareo amin’ ny Makedoniana hoe: Efa vonona hatry ny taon-itsy Akaia, ary ny zotom-ponareo dia namporisika ny maro.
3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
Kanefa naniraka ireo rahalahy ireo ihany aho, fandrao dia ho foana ny reharehanay ny aminareo amin’ izany zavatra izany, mba ho vonona ianareo araka izay nolazaiko,
4 Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—to say nothing of you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.
fandrao, raha tàhiny hisy hiaraka amiko ny avy eto Makedonia ka hahita anareo tsy mbola vonona, dia ho menatra izahay (mba tsy hanaovanay hoe, ianareo) noho izany fahatokiana izany.
5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the bountiful gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.
Koa nataoko fa tsy maintsy mangataka ny rahalahy handeha hialoha ho any aminareo aho ka hahavita rahateo ny fiantranareo izay nokasainareo teo aloha, mba hovitaina toy ny fiantrana izany, fa tsy toy ny fahihirana.
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Fa izao no lazaiko: Izay mamafy kely, dia kely no hojinjany; fa izay mamafy be, dia be kosa no hojinjany.
7 Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.
Aoka ny olona rehetra samy hanao araka izay inian’ ny fony avy, tsy amin’ ny alahelo, na amin’ ny faneriterena; fa ny mpanome amin’ ny fifaliana no tian’ Andriamanitra.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Ary Andriamanitra mahay mampitombo ny fahasoavana rehetra aminareo, mba hanananareo ny onony rehetra mandrakariva amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, ka hitombo amin’ ny asa tsara rehetra;
9 As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” (aiōn g165)
araka ny voasoratra hoe: Namafy izy, eny, nanome ho an’ ny malahelo; Ny fahamarinany maharitra mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)
10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Ary Izay manome voa ho an’ ny mpamafy sy mofo hohanina dia hanome sy hahabe ny voa afafinareo ary hampitombo ny vokatry ny fahamarinanareo,
11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, so that through us your giving will produce thanksgiving to God.
dia hanan-karena amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo ka handroso amin’ ny hitsim-po, izay mahatonga ny fisaoranay an’ Andriamanitra.
12 For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
Fa ny fanaovana izany fanompoam-pivavahana izany dia tsy mahafaka ny alahelon’ ny olona masìna ihany, fa mahabe ny fisaoran’ ny maro an’ Andriamanitra koa,
13 Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.
satria ny fizahan-toetra anareo amin’ izany fanompoana izany no ankalazany an’ Andriamanitra noho ny fitananareo tsara ny fanekenareo ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy sy noho ny fahazotoanareo amin’ ny fiantrana ho azy sy ho an’ ny olona rehetra;
14 And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
ary amin’ ny fangatahany ho anareo dia manina anareo izy noho ny haben’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra aminareo.
15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
Isaorana anie Andriamanitra noho ny fanomezany tsy azo tononina.
