2 Corinthians 9
1 For as concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
Nísinsin yìí, nípa ti ìpín fún ni fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, kò tún yẹ mọ́ fún mi láti kọ̀wé sí yin ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
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.
Nítorí mo mọ ìtara láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín, èyí tí mo ti ṣògo fún àwọn ará Makedonia nítorí yín, pé, àwọn ara Akaia ti múra tan níwọ̀n ọdún kan tí ó kọjá ìtara yín sì ti rú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sókè.
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:
Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti rán àwọn arákùnrin, kí ìṣògo wa nítorí yín má ṣe jásí asán ní ti ọ̀ràn yìí; pé gẹ́gẹ́ bí mó ti wí, kí ẹ̀yin lè múra tẹ́lẹ̀.
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.
Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, bí àwọn nínú ara Makedonia bá bá mi wá, tí wọ́n sì bá yín ní àìmúra sílẹ̀, ojú a sì tì wá kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin, ní ti ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yìí.
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.
Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe rò pé ó yẹ láti gba àwọn arákùnrin níyànjú, kí wọn kọ́kọ́ tọ̀ yín wá, kí ẹ sì múra ẹ̀bùn yín, tí ẹ ti ṣe ìlérí tẹ́lẹ̀ sílẹ̀, kí ó lè ti wà ní lẹ́bi ẹ̀bùn gidi, kí ó má sì ṣe dàbí ohun ti a fi ìkùnsínú ṣe.
6 But this [I say], He who soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he who soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully.
Ṣùgbọ́n èyí ni mo wí pé, ẹni tí ó bá fúnrúgbìn kín ún, kín ún ni yóò ká; ẹni tí ó bá sì fúnrúgbìn púpọ̀, púpọ̀ ni yóò ká.
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.
Kí olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pinnu ní ọkàn rẹ̀; kì í ṣe àfi ìkùnsínú ṣe, tàbí ti àìgbọdọ̀ má ṣe; nítorí Ọlọ́run fẹ́ onínúdídùn ọlọ́rẹ.
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:
Ọlọ́run sì lè mú kí gbogbo oore-ọ̀fẹ́ máa bí sí i fún yín; kí ẹ̀yin tí ó ní ànító ohun gbogbo, nígbà gbogbo, lè máa pọ̀ sí i ní iṣẹ́ rere gbogbo.
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ́ ọ pé: “Ó tí fọ́nká; ó ti fi fún àwọn tálákà, òdodo rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.” (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; )
Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí ń fi irúgbìn fún afúnrúgbìn, àti àkàrà fún oúnjẹ, yóò fi irúgbìn fún un yín, yóò sì sọ ọ́ di púpọ̀, yóò sì mú èso òdodo yín bí sí i.
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó sọ yín di ọlọ́rọ̀ nínú ohun gbogbo, fún ìlawọ́ yín gbogbo tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run nípa wa.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings to God;
Nítorí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ìsìn yìí kò kún ìwọ̀n àìní àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ó túbọ̀ pọ̀ sí i nípa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run.
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];
Nítorí ìdúró yin lábẹ́ ìdánwò iṣẹ́ ìsìn yìí, wọn yóò yin Ọlọ́run lógo fún ìgbọ́ràn yín ní gbígba ìyìnrere Kristi àti nípa ìlawọ́ ìdáwó yín fún wọn àti fún gbogbo ènìyàn.
14 And by their prayer for you, who long after you, for the exceeding grace of God in you.
Àti nínú àdúrà fún un yín, ọkàn wọn ń ṣe àfẹ́rí yín nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run ti ń bẹ nínú yín.
15 Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable gift.
Ọpẹ́ ni fún Ọlọ́run nítorí aláìlèfẹnusọ ẹ̀bùn rẹ̀!
