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,

For as touching the ministring to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write vnto you.

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 knowe your readinesse of minde, whereof I boast my selfe of you vnto them of Macedonia, and say, that Achaia was prepared a yeere agoe, and your zeale hath prouoked many.

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.

Nowe haue I sent the brethren, lest our reioycing ouer you shoulde bee in vaine in this behalfe, that yee (as I haue sayde) be readie:

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 if they of Macedonia come with me, and finde you vnprepared, we (that wee may not say, you) should be ashamed in this my constant 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.

Wherefore, I thought it necessarie to exhort the brethren to come before vnto you, and to finish your beneuolence appointed afore, that it might be readie, and come as of beneuolence, and not as of niggardlinesse.

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.

This yet remember, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reape also sparingly, and hee that soweth liberally, shall reape also liberally.

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.

As euery man wisheth in his heart, so let him giue, not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer.

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 to abound towarde you, that yee alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all thinges, may abounde in euery good worke,

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 hath sparsed abroad and hath giuen to the poore: his beneuolence remayneth for euer. (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.

Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence, )

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.

That on all partes yee may bee made rich vnto all liberalitie, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing vnto God.

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 the ministration of this seruice not onely supplieth the necessities of the Saintes, but also aboundantly causeth many to giue thankes 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.

(Which by the experiment of this ministration praise God for your voluntarie submission to the Gospell of Christ, and for your liberall distribution to them, and to all men)

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.

And in their praier for you, to log after you greatly, for the aboundant grace of God in you.

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

Thankes therefore bee vnto God for his vnspeakeable gift.
