2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Ọ dịghị mkpa idere unu akwụkwọ banyere ozi nke ndị nsọ.
2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
Amaara m na unu jikeere inyere ha aka, dịka m nyara isi nye ndị Masidonia banyere unu. Nʼihi na agwara m ha na unu ndị bi na Akaịa ejikerelarị inyere ha aka kemgbe afọ gara aga. Ọ bụkwa ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi unu kwaliri obi ha, ime ihe ha mere.
3 But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
Ugbu a, ana m ezitere unu ụmụnna anyị ndị a ka e mee ka ịnya isi nke m nyara banyere unu ghara ịbụ okwu efu. Ma dịka m gwara ha na unu ejikerela, achọrọ m ka unu jikere nye ha ihe unu chọrọ inye.
4 so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confidence.
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ndị Masidonia esoro m bịa hụ na unu ejikeghị ejike, ebe anyị na-anya isi na unu ejikerela, ọ ga-abụrụ m ihe ihere, bụkwara unu ihe ihere, ebe anyị nwere ntụkwasị obi na unu ga-anọ na njikere.
5 I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
Ọ bụ nke a mere m ji hụ na ọ dị mkpa ịrịọ ụmụnna anyị ka ha buru ụzọ bịa, tupu m bịa. Ka unu nwee ike ịkwado onyinye ahụ unu kwere na nkwa inye, jide ya na njikere ruo mgbe m bịara. Ka unu si otu a gosi ndị mụ na ha ga-eso na unu na-enye nʼihi na unu chọrọ inye, ọ bụkwaghị nʼihi na a gwara unu ka unu nye.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Isi okwu bụ nke a, Onye ọbụla na-akụ mkpụrụ ntakịrị, ga-aghọtakwa nke nta, ma onye ahụ na-akụ mkpụrụ buru ibu ga-aghọtakwa mkpụrụ hiri nne.
7 Each person should give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
Ka onye ọbụla nye dịka o buru ụzọ kpebie nʼime obi ya inye. Ka ọ ghara inye nʼihi na mmadụ kwagidere ya, maọbụ inye nʼihi na ndị ọzọ na-enye, nʼihi na Chineke hụrụ ndị ji obi ụtọ nye onyinye ha nʼanya.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
Chineke nwere ike inye unu karịa ihe na-akpa unu, ka unu na-enwezukwa ihe unu chọrọ mgbe niile nʼoge niile. Mgbe ahụ, unu ga-enwezukwa ihe niile unu ji arụ ọrụ ọma.
9 As it is written, "He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." (aiōn g165)
Dịka e dere ya, “Ọ gbasara onyinye ya ebe niile nye ndị ogbenye; ezi omume ya na-adịgidekwa ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
Ma onye ahụ na-enye onye ọrụ ubi mkpụrụ nke ọ na-agha nʼubi ya, na-enyekwa mmadụ nri ọ ga-eri, ọ ga-enyekwa unu ihe niile dị unu mkpa, meekwa ka ụlọakụ unu jupụta na mkpụrụ. Ọ ga-emekwa ka mkpụrụ ezi omume unu baa ụba.
11 you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
Ọ ga-emekwa ka unu bụrụ ndị ọgaranya nʼụzọ niile, ka unu nwee ihe ga-ezuru unu na nke unu ga-enye ndị ọzọ mgbe niile. Site nʼaka anyị, afọ ofufu unu ga-enye Chineke ekele nʼihi inyeaka unu nyere ha.
12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;
Nʼihi na ije ozi nke ife ofufe a abụghị naanị nke igboro ndị nsọ mkpa ha, kama ọ bụkwa nke na-eme ka ekele ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ na-enye Chineke babiga ụba oke.
13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
Nʼihi ije ozi a, nke unu sitere na ya gosi onwe unu dịka ndị kwesiri, ndị ọzọ ga-eto Chineke nʼihi irube isi unu nke dakọtara na nkwupụta unu banyere oziọma nke Kraịst, ya na onyinye afọ ofufu nke unu na-eme ka ha na ndị ọzọ niile soro unu nwekọ.
14 while they themselves also, with petition on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Nke a ga-eme nʼekpere ha maka unu, ha ga-eji obi ha niile rịọọ arịrịọ, nʼihi ịdị ukwu nke amara Chineke dị nʼime unu.
15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.
Ekele dịrị Chineke nʼihi onyinye ya dị ukwuu nke ọnụ na-apụghị ịkọ.
