2 Corinthians 9

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

Ɛho nhia sɛ metwerɛ mo fa mmoa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yudea no ho.

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.

Menim sɛ ɛyɛ mo pɛ sɛ moboa enti, mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Makedonia no. Mekaa sɛ, “Anuanom a wɔwɔ Hela no siesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔbɛboa afe a ɛtwaam no mu.” Mo ahokeka no akanyane wɔn mu fa kɛseɛ no.

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;

Afei, merema anuanom yi aba mo nkyɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, hoa a yɛde mo hoahoa yɛn ho no nnyɛ nsɛnkeka kwa. Na, sɛdeɛ mekaeɛ no, mobɛsiesie mo ho aboa.

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.

Sɛ anyɛ saa na sɛ nnipa no ne me firi Makedonia ba bɛhunu sɛ monsiesiee mo ho a, yɛn anim bɛgu ase. Mo nso mo anim bɛgu ase bi sɛ modii yɛn hwammɔ.

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.

Enti, medwene ho hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ anuanom bi di mʼanim ɛkan na wɔkɔpɛ akyɛdeɛ a mohyɛɛ me ho bɔ no gu hɔ. Ɛba saa a, ɛberɛ a mɛduru hɔ no na ɛwɔ hɔ na adi adanseɛ sɛ mo na momaeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, na mopɛ sɛ moma enti, na mmom, na ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moma.

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

Monkae saa asɛm yi: Onipa a ɔgu aba kakra bi no, bɛtwa so kakraa bi, na deɛ ɔgu aba bebree no, bɛtwa so bebree.

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

Mo mu biara mma sɛdeɛ wadwene ho no, a ɛnyɛ sɛ yea anaa ɔhyɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn pɛ obi a ɔde anigyeɛ ma akyɛdeɛ no asɛm.

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.

Na Onyankopɔn bɛtumi ama wo aboro deɛ ɛho hia wo no so, enti daa na wowɔ deɛ ɛho hia wo, na wobɛnya bi nso adi dwuma foforɔ a ɛfata sɛ wodi.

9 As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor; and his righteousness is established for ever. (aiōn g165)

Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Ɔfiri nʼakoma mu ma ahiafoɔ deɛ wɔhia; nʼadɔeɛ no tena hɔ daa.” (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:

Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma ogufoɔ no aba ne burodo sɛ aduane die no bɛma wo nso aba a ɛhia wo nyinaa na wahwɛ so ama anyini na wʼadɔeɛ no enti, aso bebree.

11 so that in every thing, ye may be enriched unto all liberality, to the completion of our thanksgiving to God.

Daa ɔbɛhwɛ ma woanya wo ho na woayɛ adɔeɛ, na ɛnam so ama dodoɔ no ara ada Onyankopɔn ase wɔ akyɛdeɛ a yɛnya firi mo nkyɛn no ho.

12 For the performance of this ministration, not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is also rich in many thanksgivings to God.

Saa adɔeɛ a moyɛ yi, monnyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nko, na mmom, ɛnam so ma nnipa bebree da Onyankopɔn ase.

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:

Esiane dwuma a moadi de adi mo ho adanseɛ pa no enti, nnipa gyina nokorɛ a moadi wɔ Kristo asɛnka no ne mo adɔeɛ a moyɛ maa obiara no so bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn.

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

Enti, wɔde ɔdɔ bɛbɔ mpaeɛ ama mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ama mo adom a ɛboro so.

15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ nʼakyɛdeɛ a ɛnni kabea no ho.
