2 Corinthians 9
1 For as concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
Matetun, au sudꞌi boe suraꞌ fai, fo oꞌe nggi tulu-fali Lamatuaꞌ atahori mamahere nara.
2 For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath incited very many.
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 Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
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 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
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 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before to you, and make up before hand your bounty, of which ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as [a matter of] bounty, and not [of] covetousness.
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 But this [I say], He who soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he who soweth bountifully, shall reap also 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 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or by constraint: for God loveth 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 towards you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all [things], 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 hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. (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 may he that ministereth seed to the sower, both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, 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 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth 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 the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by 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 While by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection to the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution to them, and to all [men];
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 And by their prayer for you, who long after you, for 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 unspeakable 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!”
