2 Corinthians 9
1 Now about the service to the saints, there is no need for me to write to you.
Nísinsin yìí, nípa ti ìpín fún ni fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, kò tún yẹ mọ́ fún mi láti kọ̀wé sí yin ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
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.
Nítorí mo mọ ìtara láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín, èyí tí mo ti ṣògo fún àwọn ará Makedonia nítorí yín, pé, àwọn ara Akaia ti múra tan níwọ̀n ọdún kan tí ó kọjá ìtara yín sì ti rú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sókè.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti rán àwọn arákùnrin, kí ìṣògo wa nítorí yín má ṣe jásí asán ní ti ọ̀ràn yìí; pé gẹ́gẹ́ bí mó ti wí, kí ẹ̀yin lè múra tẹ́lẹ̀.
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.
Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, bí àwọn nínú ara Makedonia bá bá mi wá, tí wọ́n sì bá yín ní àìmúra sílẹ̀, ojú a sì tì wá kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin, ní ti ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yìí.
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.
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe rò pé ó yẹ láti gba àwọn arákùnrin níyànjú, kí wọn kọ́kọ́ tọ̀ yín wá, kí ẹ sì múra ẹ̀bùn yín, tí ẹ ti ṣe ìlérí tẹ́lẹ̀ sílẹ̀, kí ó lè ti wà ní lẹ́bi ẹ̀bùn gidi, kí ó má sì ṣe dàbí ohun ti a fi ìkùnsínú ṣe.
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Ṣùgbọ́n èyí ni mo wí pé, ẹni tí ó bá fúnrúgbìn kín ún, kín ún ni yóò ká; ẹni tí ó bá sì fúnrúgbìn púpọ̀, púpọ̀ ni yóò ká.
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.
Kí olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pinnu ní ọkàn rẹ̀; kì í ṣe àfi ìkùnsínú ṣe, tàbí ti àìgbọdọ̀ má ṣe; nítorí Ọlọ́run fẹ́ onínúdídùn ọlọ́rẹ.
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.
Ọlọ́run sì lè mú kí gbogbo oore-ọ̀fẹ́ máa bí sí i fún yín; kí ẹ̀yin tí ó ní ànító ohun gbogbo, nígbà gbogbo, lè máa pọ̀ sí i ní iṣẹ́ rere gbogbo.
9 As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” (aiōn g165)
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ́ ọ pé: “Ó tí fọ́nká; ó ti fi fún àwọn tálákà, òdodo rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.” (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.
Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí ń fi irúgbìn fún afúnrúgbìn, àti àkàrà fún oúnjẹ, yóò fi irúgbìn fún un yín, yóò sì sọ ọ́ di púpọ̀, yóò sì mú èso òdodo yín bí sí i.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó sọ yín di ọlọ́rọ̀ nínú ohun gbogbo, fún ìlawọ́ yín gbogbo tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run nípa wa.
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.
Nítorí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ìsìn yìí kò kún ìwọ̀n àìní àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ó túbọ̀ pọ̀ sí i nípa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run.
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.
Nítorí ìdúró yin lábẹ́ ìdánwò iṣẹ́ ìsìn yìí, wọn yóò yin Ọlọ́run lógo fún ìgbọ́ràn yín ní gbígba ìyìnrere Kristi àti nípa ìlawọ́ ìdáwó yín fún wọn àti fún gbogbo ènìyàn.
14 And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
Àti nínú àdúrà fún un yín, ọkàn wọn ń ṣe àfẹ́rí yín nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run ti ń bẹ nínú yín.
15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
Ọpẹ́ ni fún Ọlọ́run nítorí aláìlèfẹnusọ ẹ̀bùn rẹ̀!
