< 2 Corinthians 9 >

1 I really don't need to write to you about this offering for God's people.
Maipapan iti ministerio maipaay kadagiti namati, nalabesen para kaniak nga agsurat pay kadakayo.
2 I know how keen you are to help—I was boasting about this to those in Macedonia that you in Achaia have been ready for over a year, and your enthusiasm has encouraged many of them to give.
Ammok ti maipapan iti tarigagayyo, nga isu ti impasindayawko kadagiti tattao iti Macedonia. Imbagak kadakuada nga agsagsagana ti Acaia manipud pay idi napalabas a tawen. Pinaregta ti kinagagaryo ti kaadduan kadakuada nga agtignay.
3 But I'm sending these brothers so that my boasting about you regarding this won't be proved wrong, and that you're prepared, just as I said you would be.
Ita, imbaonko dagiti kakabsat a lallaki tapno ti panagpaspasindayawmi maipapan kadakayo ket saan a maawanan ti serbi, ken tapno nakasagana kayonto, kas imbagak nga aramidenyo.
4 This is just in case some Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared. We, not to mention you, would be really embarrassed if this project failed!
Ta no saan, no adda ti siasinoman a taga-Macedonia a kumuyog kaniak ket maammoanda a saankayo a nakasagana, maibabainkaminto - awan ti maibagakon maipapan kadakayo - gapu ta nagtalekak unay kadakayo.
5 That's why I decided I should ask these brothers to visit you in advance, and complete the arrangements to collect this offering, so that it would be ready as a gift, and not as something demanded.
Isu a napanunotko a masapul a guyugoyen dagiti kakabsat a lallaki nga umay kadakayo ken makitulag nga umuna maipaay iti sagut nga inkariyo. Daytoy ket tapno maisagana a kas bendision, ken saan a kas maysa a banag a napilit a naala.
6 I want to remind you of this: If you only sow a little, you'll only reap a little; if you sow plenty, you'll reap plenty.
Daytoy ti kayatko nga ibaga: ti agmulmula iti saggabassit ket agapitto met iti saggabassit, ken ti agmulmula a ti panggepna ket bendision ket agapitto met iti bendision.
7 Everybody should give as they've already decided—not reluctantly, or because they have to, for God loves those who give with a cheerful spirit.
Mangted koma ti tunggal maysa a kas pinanggepna iti pusona. Saan koma a mangted isuna a silaladingit wenno mapilpilitan. Gapu ta ay-ayaten ti Dios ti siraragsak a mangmangted.
8 God is able to graciously provide you with everything, so that you will always have all you need—with plenty to help others too.
Ken kabaelan ti Dios a paadduen ti tunggal bendision para kadakayo, tapno, kankanayon, iti amin a banbanag, nga adda kadakayo iti amin a kasapulanyo. Daytoy ket tapno mapaaduyo ti tunggal naimbag nga aramid.
9 As Scripture says, “He gives generously to the poor; his generosity is everlasting.” (aiōn g165)
Daytoy ket kas iti naisurat: “Inwarasna dagiti kinabaknangna ken intedna dagitoy kadagiti napanglaw. Ti kinalintegna ket agtalinaed iti agnanayon.” (aiōn g165)
10 God, who provides seed to the sower and gives bread for food, will provide and multiply your “seed” and increase your harvest of generosity.
Ti mangmangted iti bukel iti agmulmula ken tinapay a kas taraon, ket ited ken paaduennanto met laeng ti bukelyo para iti panagmula. Paaduennanto ti apit ti kinalintegyo.
11 You will be made rich in every way so that you can always be very generous, and your generosity will lead others to be grateful to God.
Mapabaknangkayonto iti amin a wagas tapno agbalinkayo a naparabur iti panangited. Mangparnuayto daytoy iti panagyaman iti Dios babaen kadatayo.
12 When you serve in this way, not only are the needs of God's people met, but also many will give grateful thanks to God.
Ta ti panangipatungpal iti daytoy a panagserbi ket saanna laeng a sabsabeten dagiti kasapulan dagiti namati. Agbalin pay daytoy nga adu nga aramid iti panagyaman iti Dios.
13 By giving this offering you show your true nature, and those who receive it will thank God for your obedience, since it shows your commitment to the good news of Christ and your generosity in giving to them and everyone else.
Gapu iti pannakasuot ken pannakapaneknekyo babaen iti daytoy a panagserbi, padpadayawanyo pay ti Dios babaen iti panagtulnogyo iti panangbigbigyo iti ebanghelio ni Cristo. Padpadayawanyo pay ti Dios babaen iti kinaparabur ti sagutyo kadakuada ken iti tunggal maysa.
14 They will pray for you with much fondness because of God's abundant grace working through you.
Kalkalikagumandakayo, ken ikarkararagandakayo. Ar-aramidenda daytoy gapu iti naindaklan unay a parabur ti Dios nga adda kadakayo.
15 Thank God for his gift that is far greater than words can express!
Pagyamanan ngarud ti Dios gapu iti saan a maiyebkas a sagutna!
