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,
There is no need for me to write to you about this ministry of giving to the saints in Jerusalem.
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 how eager you are to help, and I keep boasting about you to the Macedonians, saying that Achaia has been prepared to give since last year; and your zeal has stirred up most 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 about you in this matter may not prove to be empty, but that you may be prepared, just as I said you would be.
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.
Otherwise, if any of the Macedonians were to come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you) would be ashamed of 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.
So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to go on ahead to you and arrange in advance your previously announced blessing, so that this gift of yours may be ready as a blessing and not as something you feel forced to do.
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.
My point is this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever 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.
Each person should give as he decides in his heart, not with sadness 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 provide you with every blessing in abundance so that you will always have everything you need to abound in 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 distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” (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 provides seed to the sower, and bread for food, also multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest 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.
May you be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, and through us may your generosity produce thanksgiving to 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 this ministry of giving is not only providing for the needs of the saints in Jerusalem but is also abounding through many thanksgivings 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.
By their approval of this ministry, the saints in Jerusalem will glorify God because of your submission to the gospel of Christ that you confess, and also because of your generous 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.
They will pray for you with deep affection because of the surpassing grace of God that is upon you.
15 Akpedada woatsɔ ana Mawu le eƒe nunana manyagblɔ la ta.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
