2 Corinthians 9

1 And concerning the ministration by the saints, it would be superfluous for me to write to you:

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

2 for I know the goodness of your mind; and therefore I gloried of you before the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath excited many.

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 Yet I sent the brethren, lest the glorying with which we have gloried in you in regard to this matter, should prove vain; and that ye, as I said, may be ready;

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 so that, if the Macedonians should come with me, and should find you unprepared, we-not to say, ye-should be put to shame for that glorying in which we gloried.

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 Therefore I was careful to request these my brethren, to go before me unto you, that they might make up this benefaction, of which ye were advised long before to have it ready, as being a benefaction, and not a matter of cupidity.

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 And this I say: He that soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall also reap bountifully.

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

7 Every man, according to his own views, not with sadness, not by constraint: for the Lord loveth a joyous giver.

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 For it is in the power of God, to make all good abound to you, so that ye may have, at all times, and in every thing, what is sufficient for you; and may abound in 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 As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor; and his righteousness is established for ever. (aiōn g165)

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

10 Now he that giveth seed to the sower, and bread for food, may he give and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your 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 so that in every thing, ye may be enriched unto all liberality, to the completion of our thanksgiving to God.

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

12 For the performance of this ministration, not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is also rich in many thanksgivings to 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 For on account of the test of this ministration, we glorify God, that ye do subject yourselves to the profession of the gospel of the Messiah, and that in your liberality, ye communicate with them and with all men:

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 and they put up prayer for you, with much love, because of the abundance of the grace of God that is upon you.

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

15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

Isaorana anie Andriamanitra noho ny fanomezany tsy azo tononina.
