2 Corinthians 9

1 For, indeed, concerning the ministry which is for the saints, it is, superfluous for me, to be writing to you;

Fa ny amin’ ny fiantrana ho an’ ny olona masìna, dia tsy misy tokony hanoratako aminareo;

2 For I know your forwardness of mind—of which, in your behalf, I am boasting unto Macedonians, that, Achaia, hath been prepared for a year past, —and, your zeal, hath stirred up the greater number of them.

fa fantatro ny fahazotoanareo, izay ataoko rehareha ny aminareo amin’ ny Makedoniana hoe: Efa vonona hatry ny taon-itsy Akaia, ary ny zotom-ponareo dia namporisika ny maro.

3 Nevertheless I have sent the brethren, that, our boast in your behalf, be not made void, in this respect, that, even as I was saying, ye may be prepared, —

Kanefa naniraka ireo rahalahy ireo ihany aho, fandrao dia ho foana ny reharehanay ny aminareo amin’ izany zavatra izany, mba ho vonona ianareo araka izay nolazaiko,

4 Lest by any means, if there should come with me Macedonians, and find you unprepared, we, —not to say, ye, —should be put to shame in this confidence.

fandrao, raha tàhiny hisy hiaraka amiko ny avy eto Makedonia ka hahita anareo tsy mbola vonona, dia ho menatra izahay (mba tsy hanaovanay hoe, ianareo) noho izany fahatokiana izany.

5 Necessary, therefore, I regarded it, to exhort the brethren that they would go forward unto you, and make up beforehand your previously- promised blessing. The same, to be ready—thus, as a blessing, and not as of constraint.

Koa nataoko fa tsy maintsy mangataka ny rahalahy handeha hialoha ho any aminareo aho ka hahavita rahateo ny fiantranareo izay nokasainareo teo aloha, mba hovitaina toy ny fiantrana izany, fa tsy toy ny fahihirana.

6 As to this, however, he that soweth sparingly, sparingly, also shall reap, and, he that soweth with blessings, with blessings, also shall reap:

Fa izao no lazaiko: Izay mamafy kely, dia kely no hojinjany; fa izay mamafy be, dia be kosa no hojinjany.

7 Each one, according as he hath purposed in his heart, not sorrowfully, nor of necessity, —for, a cheerful giver, God, loveth.

Aoka ny olona rehetra samy hanao araka izay inian’ ny fony avy, tsy amin’ ny alahelo, na amin’ ny faneriterena; fa ny mpanome amin’ ny fifaliana no tian’ Andriamanitra.

8 Moreover God is able to cause, every gracious gift, to superabound unto you, in order that, having in every thing, at every time, every kind of sufficiency of your own, ye may be superabounding unto every good work;

Ary Andriamanitra mahay mampitombo ny fahasoavana rehetra aminareo, mba hanananareo ny onony rehetra mandrakariva amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, ka hitombo amin’ ny asa tsara rehetra;

9 Even as it is written—He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, —his righteousness, abideth to futurity. (aiōn g165)

araka ny voasoratra hoe: Namafy izy, eny, nanome ho an’ ny malahelo; Ny fahamarinany maharitra mandrakizay. (aiōn g165)

10 Now, he that supplieth seed to the sower, and bread for eating, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and cause to grow your fruits of righteousness:

Ary Izay manome voa ho an’ ny mpamafy sy mofo hohanina dia hanome sy hahabe ny voa afafinareo ary hampitombo ny vokatry ny fahamarinanareo,

11 In every thing, being enriched, unto every kind of liberality, —which, indeed, worketh out, through us, thanksgiving unto God;

dia hanan-karena amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo ka handroso amin’ ny hitsim-po, izay mahatonga ny fisaoranay an’ Andriamanitra.

12 Because, the ministry of this public service, is not only towards filling up the deficiencies of the saints, but also superabounding, through the thanksgiving of many, unto God, —

Fa ny fanaovana izany fanompoam-pivavahana izany dia tsy mahafaka ny alahelon’ ny olona masìna ihany, fa mahabe ny fisaoran’ ny maro an’ Andriamanitra koa,

13 [Of many] who, through the proof of this ministry, are glorifying God for your acknowledged submission unto the glad-message of the Christ, and for the liberality of the fellowship, unto them, and unto all, —

satria ny fizahan-toetra anareo amin’ izany fanompoana izany no ankalazany an’ Andriamanitra noho ny fitananareo tsara ny fanekenareo ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy sy noho ny fahazotoanareo amin’ ny fiantrana ho azy sy ho an’ ny olona rehetra;

14 Themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, longing after you, by reason of the surpassing favour of God [resting] upon you: —

ary amin’ ny fangatahany ho anareo dia manina anareo izy noho ny haben’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra aminareo.

15 Thanks be unto God, for his unspeakable bounty!

Isaorana anie Andriamanitra noho ny fanomezany tsy azo tononina.
