< 2 Corinthians 9 >

1 For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.
ᎾᏃ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏗᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏱᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎭ.
2 For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians. That Achaia also is ready from the year past, and your emulation hath provoked very many.
ᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᏗᎦᎵᏱᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᎦᏥᏯᏢᏈᏎᎭ, [ ᎦᏥᏃᏁᎭ ] ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎧᏯ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏑᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᎬᏩᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏂᎯ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎤᏂᏣᏔ ᎤᏂᏖᎸᏅ.
3 Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you, be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready:
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᏥᏅᎵ ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎣᏣᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎩᏪᏒᎢ.
4 Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.
ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏱᏅᏩᏎᎦᏨ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᏱᎬᎩᏍᏓᏩᏕᏅ, ᏱᏨᏩᏛᏔᏅᏃ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎾ, ᎠᏴ, ( ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏱᎦᏗᎭ, ) ᏲᏣᏕᎰᎯ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎣᎪᎯᏳᎯ ᎣᎦᏢᏈᏒᎢ.
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏎ ᏱᎦᏥᏁᏤᎸ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎠᏇᎵᏒᎩ ᎢᎬᏱ ᏫᎨᏥᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎬᏱ ᏭᎾᏛᏅᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᏥᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏃᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᎯ ᎢᏥᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎢᏥᎨᏳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
6 Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap blessings.
ᎯᎠᏍᎩᏂ [ ᏄᏍᏗ; ] ᎩᎶ ᎦᏲᎵ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᏲᎵ ᎤᏍᎫᏕᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᎠᎴ ᎩᎶ ᎤᎪᏗ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᎪᏗ ᎤᏍᎫᏕᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ.
7 Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
ᎾᏂᎥ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᏧᏂᎾᏫᏱ [ ᎠᏂᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ; ] ᎥᏝᏍᏗ ᏝᏉ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎯ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎ ᎤᏂᏗᏱ ᏥᏂᎨᎬᏁᎰ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ; ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎤᏓᏁᏘ ᎠᎲᏍᎩ.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work,
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᏰᎵᏉ ᎨᏥᏁᏗ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏂᏥᏂᎬᏎᎲᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ, ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏗᎨᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
9 As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᏚᏗᎦᎴᏯᏍᏔᏅ; ᎤᏲ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᎿᎭᏕᎩ ᏚᏁᎸ; ᎤᏓᏅᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏉ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ. (aiōn g165)
10 And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ Ꮎ ᎤᎦᏔ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏚ ᎠᎵᏍᏓᏴᏙᏗ ᎠᏓᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎪᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏫᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᏉᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎦᏔᏔᏅᎯ;
11 That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.
ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏤᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏣᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᎬᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᎠᎦᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗᏱ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ.
12 Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord,
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎠᏯᏔᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏅᎯ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᎤᏂᏂᎬᏎᎲ ᎠᎧᎵᎢᎯ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᎾᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᎬᏁᎭ;
13 By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them, and unto all.
ᎠᏂᎪᏩᏗᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎤᎾᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏛᏂᎸᏉᏔᏂ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏁᎲ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏂᏥᎨᏳᎿᎭᎥᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏕᏥᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ;
14 And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎨᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏥᎨᏳᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏥᏁᎸᎢ.
15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏃᎮᎰᎲᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ.
