2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Matetun, au sudꞌi boe suraꞌ fai, fo oꞌe nggi tulu-fali Lamatuaꞌ atahori mamahere nara.
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.
Huu au bubꞌuluꞌ ama miꞌena susueꞌ tulu-fali atahori onaꞌ naa ena. Au o hiiꞌ a dui hei rala malole mara neu atahori mamahereꞌ mana sia Makedonia. Au dui ae, hei mia profinsi Akaya sadꞌia mae haitua doi tutulu-fafaliꞌ ena eniꞌ a too mana laoꞌ a. Au o dui soꞌal hei susuem fo tao atahori laen nau tungga tulu-fali neu atahori mana susa-sonaꞌ ra boe.
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,
Au o denu hita toronoo nara, reu ratudꞌu rae, saa fo hai dui soꞌal hei naa, nda lelekoꞌ sa. Au ufadꞌe taꞌo naa, fo ama sadꞌia memaꞌ.
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.
Te mete ma atahori Makedonia ra rema ramaloloꞌ ro au, ma hei nda feꞌe sadꞌia sa, na, basa nggita mae. Afiꞌ losa au nemehere ngga sia hei e nda naꞌena netehuuꞌ sa.
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.
Naeni de au duꞌa ae, malole lenaꞌ hai toronoo mara reu raꞌahuluꞌ sia nggi, fo basa nggi bisa ator doi tutulu-fafaliꞌ tungga hei hehelu-fufuli dalahulu ma. Hei musi fee mia rala malole mara. Afiꞌ kekeꞌeꞌ.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Eni hihiin taꞌo ia: “Atahori mana sela fini idaꞌ a, dei fo hambu mbule-bꞌoan idꞌaꞌ a boe. Atahori mana sela fini hetar, ma nda kekeꞌe sa, dei fo hambu baliꞌ mbule-bꞌoan ma papala-babꞌanggiꞌ hetar boe.”
7 Each person should give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
Atahori esa-esaꞌ musi naꞌetuꞌ aon, ana nae fee baꞌu saa. Afiꞌ fee no rala seseriꞌ. Afiꞌ fee huu atahori raꞌasusuuꞌ. Huu Lamatualain sue atahori mana fee no rala teme-aoꞌ.
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.
Lamatuaꞌ bisa fee nggi basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Ana o bisa fee lenaꞌ boe, naa fo ama nda toꞌa-taa saa sa boe. Te mete ma ama parlu, na dei fo ama hambu dai lena fai. No taꞌo naa, ama bisa fee lenan fo tulu-fali neu ue-tatao maloleꞌ ra.
9 As it is written, "He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." (aiōn g165)
Nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren nae, “Lamatualain hii pala-banggi fee atahori mana toꞌa-taaꞌ ra mia Eni rala malolen. Ana tao ndoo-tetuꞌ nakandooꞌ a, huu rala ndoo-tetun, naꞌatataaꞌ nakandooꞌ a.” (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;
Lamatuaꞌ mana fee fini, fo atahori mana tao tine-osi ra sela. Lamatuaꞌ mana fee nanaat, fo ata bisa taa. Lamatuaꞌ naa boe mana fee nggi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo ama bisa tao ndoo-tetuꞌ. Naa onaꞌ hei dadꞌi mana tao tine-osi, ma Lamatuaꞌ fee nggi fini fo ama sela. Boe ma mbule-bꞌoaꞌ naa ra, Ana tao se boe ramaheta tungga-tungga fai.
11 you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
Te Lamatuaꞌ nae fee nggi lenaꞌ mia hei parlu ma, naa fo hei bisa tulu-fali atahori laen mia rala malolem. Dadꞌi mete ma ama tulu-fali atahori laen onaꞌ naa ena, dei fo ara roꞌe makasi mbali Lamatuaꞌ.
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;
Huu tutulu-fafaliꞌ fo hei fee neu Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana sia naa, tantu tulun se. Ma naa o tao nggi moꞌe makasi mbali Lamatuaꞌ
13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Messiah, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
Te leleꞌ hei tulu-fali atahori laen ra, naa natudꞌu bukti oi, hei mimihere no tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ. Naa o tao atahori laen soꞌu koa-kioꞌ mbali Lamatualain. Huu ara bisa rita, hei nemeherem neu Kristus Hara-lii Malolen, nda lelekoꞌ sa. Naa, huu hei tao tungga nemehere mara. Basa ma, leleꞌ hei fee tutulu-fafaliꞌ neu se ma atahori laen ra, mia rala malole mara, naa, tao se soꞌu koa-kioꞌ neu Lamatualain.
14 while they themselves also, with petition on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Naa, atahori mana simbo rala tutulu-fafaliꞌ mia nggi naa, dei fo ara hule-oꞌe fee nggi. Ara o hii rae rita nggi boe, huu Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen nae-nae neu nggi.
15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.
Te, Lamatualain fee hie-hieꞌ hita Hadia esa meulaun manaseliꞌ tebꞌe. Naeni, Yesus! Eni felin, lenaꞌ mia basaꞌ e! Naa de basa nggita toꞌe mbali Lamatualain tae, “Makasi!”
