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, indeed, concerning the ministry which is for the saints, it is, superfluous for me, to be writing to 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 know your forwardness of mind—of which, in your behalf, I am boasting unto Macedonians, that, Achaia, hath been prepared for a year past, —and, your zeal, hath stirred up the greater number 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.

Nevertheless I have sent the brethren, that, our boast in your behalf, be not made void, in this respect, that, even as I was saying, ye 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 there should come with me Macedonians, and find you unprepared, we, —not to say, ye, —should be put to shame in this confidence.

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.

Necessary, therefore, I regarded it, to exhort the brethren that they would go forward unto you, and make up beforehand your previously- promised blessing. The same, to be ready—thus, as a blessing, and not as of constraint.

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.

As to this, however, he that soweth sparingly, sparingly, also shall reap, and, he that soweth with blessings, with blessings, also shall reap:

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.

Each one, according as he hath purposed in his heart, not sorrowfully, nor of necessity, —for, a cheerful giver, God, loveth.

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.

Moreover God is able to cause, every gracious gift, to superabound unto you, in order that, having in every thing, at every time, every kind of sufficiency of your own, ye may be superabounding unto 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)

Even as it is written—He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, —his righteousness, abideth to futurity. (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, he that supplieth seed to the sower, and bread for eating, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and cause to grow your fruits of 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.

In every thing, being enriched, unto every kind of liberality, —which, indeed, worketh out, through us, thanksgiving unto 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.

Because, the ministry of this public service, is not only towards filling up the deficiencies of the saints, but also superabounding, through the thanksgiving of many, unto 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.

[Of many] who, through the proof of this ministry, are glorifying God for your acknowledged submission unto the glad-message of the Christ, and for the liberality of the fellowship, unto them, and unto 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.

Themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, longing after you, by reason of the surpassing favour of God [resting] upon you: —

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

Thanks be unto God, for his unspeakable bounty!
