2 Corinthians 9
1 I really don't need to write to you about this offering for God's people.
Ɛho nhia sɛ mekyerɛw mo fa mmoa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ Yudea no ho.
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.
Minim sɛ ɛyɛ mo pɛ sɛ moboa nti mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Makedonia no. Mekae se, “Anuanom a wɔwɔ Hela no siesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔbɛboa afe a etwaa mu no mu.” Mo ahokeka no akanyan wɔn mu fa kɛse no.
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.
Afei merema anuanom yi aba mo nkyɛn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a hoa a yɛde mo hoahoa yɛn ho no nyɛ nsɛnkeka kwa. Na sɛnea mekae no, mubesiesie mo ho aboa.
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!
Sɛ anyɛ saa na sɛ nnipa no ne me fi Makedonia ba behu sɛ munsiesiee mo ho a yɛn anim begu ase. Mo nso mo anim begu ase bi sɛ mudii yɛn nhuammɔ.
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.
Enti midwen ho huu sɛ eye sɛ anuanom bi di mʼanim kan kɔhwehwɛ akyɛde a mohyɛɛ me ho bɔ no gu hɔ. Ɛba saa a, bere a medu hɔ no na ɛwɔ hɔ na ama adi adanse sɛ mo na momae, efisɛ na mopɛ sɛ moma nti, na mmom, ɛnyɛ sɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ moma.
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.
Monkae saa asɛm yi: Onipa a ogu aba kakraa bi no, betwa so kakraa bi, na nea ogu aba bebree no, betwa so bebree.
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.
Mo mu biara mma sɛnea wadwene ho no, a ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔyaw anaa ɔhyɛ mu, efisɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ obi a ɔde anigye ma akyɛde no asɛm.
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.
Na Onyankopɔn betumi ama wo aboro nea ɛho hia wo no so; enti daa na wowɔ nea ɛho hia wo, na wubenya bi nso adi dwuma foforo a ɛfata sɛ wudi.
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se “Ofi ne koma mu ma ahiafo nea wohia; nʼadɔe no tena hɔ daa.” (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.
Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma ogufo no aba ne brodo sɛ aduan di no bɛma wo nso aba a ehia wo nyinaa na wahwɛ so ama anyin na wʼadɔe no nti, asow bebree.
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.
Daa ɔbɛhwɛ ma woanya wo ho na woayɛ adɔe, na ɛnam so ama dodow no ara ada Onyankopɔn ase wɔ akyɛde a yenya fi mo nkyɛn no ho.
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.
Saa adɔe a moyɛ yi, monnyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo nko, na mmom, anam so ama nnipa bebree ada Onyankopɔn ase.
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.
Esiane dwuma a moadi de adi mo ho adanse pa no nti, nnipa gyina nokware a moadi wɔ Kristo asɛnka no ne mo adɔe a moyɛ maa obiara no so bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn.
14 They will pray for you with much fondness because of God's abundant grace working through you.
Enti wɔde ɔdɔ bɛbɔ mpae ama mo, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ama mo adom a ɛboro so.
15 Thank God for his gift that is far greater than words can express!
Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ nʼakyɛde a enni kabea no ho.
