Korintotɔwo 2 9

1 Mikpɔe be megahiã kokoko bena magaŋlɔ agbalẽ na mi le ale si wòhiã be miana nu Mawu ƒe ame siwo le Yerusalem o,

It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

2 elabena menya ale si wònye miaƒe didi vevie be yewoawɔ lɔlɔ̃nununana sia, eye metsɔ esia ƒo adegbe na Makedonia hamewo be mi Akayatɔwo miele klalo kple miaƒe nunanawo abe ƒe ɖekae nye esia ene. Le nyateƒe me la, esia de dzo tɔxɛ aɖe woawo hã me be wodze ƒuƒoƒo nunanawo gɔme.

for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

3 Ke mele nɔvi siawo dɔm kple miaƒe nunanawo elabena míetsɔ mi ƒo adegbe na amewo ŋutɔ eye nyemedi be míaƒe adegbe sia natrɔ zu alakpa o.

But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,

4 Eye anye ŋukpe nam ŋutɔ, eye wòanye ŋukpe na miawo hã ne nɔvi siwo tso Makedonia va kplim ko wòava dzɔ be miele klalo abe ale si megblɔ na wo ene o.

lest by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there with me and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) would be disappointed in this confident boasting.

5 Esia ta mele nɔvi siawo dɔm ɖo ɖe mia gbɔ be woakpɔ egbɔ be nu siwo ŋugbe miedo la nasɔ gbe hafi nye ŋutɔ mava. Ale be wòanye nu si miena faa tso dzi me, eye menye tso dzizizi me o.

I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.

6 Ke medi be esia nanɔ nyanya me na mi be, ame si ana nu sue aɖe la, nu si wòakpɔ ɖe eteƒe anɔ sue. Agbledela si ƒã nuku sue aɖe ko la, xaa nuku sue aɖe ko le nuxaɣi, gake nenye be wòƒã nuku sɔgbɔ la, axa nuku fũu le nuxaɣi.

Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 Ale si sinu ame aɖe di be yeana ko la nenae; migazi ame aɖeke dzi be nena wu ale si wòate ŋui o, elabena Mawu lɔ̃a ame siwo naa nu kple dzi faa la.

Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 Seɖoƒe aɖeke meli na Mawu ƒe nunana si wònaa mi gbe sia gbe o. Eya ŋutɔ naa nu siwo hiãa mi la mi, eye wònanɛ le agbɔsɔsɔ blibo me be ne miewɔ wo ŋuti dɔ ʋuu hã la, agatsi anyi zã be miana ame bubuwo atsɔ afia dɔ nyui wɔwɔ.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

9 Ele Ŋɔŋlɔ Kɔkɔe la me be: “Ema eƒe nuwo na ame dahewo yi didiƒewo ke, eya ta eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye anɔ anyi tegbetegbe.” (aiōn g165)

As it is written, "He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains for the age (aiōn g165)."

10 Ke Mawu, ame si naa nuku agbledela wòƒãna, eye emegbe la, wòyrana ɖe edzi be wòakpɔ nuɖuɖu gbe sia gbe la ana nuku geɖewo mi be miaƒã, eye wòana woatsi aʋã nyuie ale gbegbe, be miakpɔ nuku geɖe le nuxaɣi, be miatsɔ ɖewo ana ame bubuwo hã.

Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

11 Mawu ŋutɔ ana be miazu kesinɔtɔwo ale be miate ŋu ana nu ame dahewo ɣe sia ɣi, ale be ne míetsɔ wo yii na wo la, woada akpe geɖe na Mawu le ale si miekpe ɖe wo ŋu ta.

you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

12 Ale miakpɔe be lɔlɔ̃nunana si nam miele la na ame kɔkɔe siwo le nu hiãm la kpɔ nu siwo le wo hiãm, eye woatsɔ akpedada blibo na Mawu.

For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,

13 Nɔvi siwo katã ŋu miele kpekpem ɖo la makpɔ dzidzɔ le miaƒe nunana nyuiwo ɖeɖe ko ŋuti o, ke boŋ woakafu Mawu hã le miaƒe toɖoɖo Kristo ƒe nyanyui la ta. Eye miaƒe nunana hã nye kpeɖodzi be Kristo le mia me vavã.

seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,

14 Nɔvi siawo ado gbe ɖa ɖe mia ta vevie, ada akpe gã aɖe na Mawu le amenuvedɔ gã siwo wòwɔ na wo to mia dzi la ta.

while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

15 Akpedada woatsɔ ana Mawu le eƒe nunana manyagblɔ la ta.

Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
