2 Qoronttoosa 9
1 Ammaniya asaas kessiya miishiyabaa ta hinttew xaafanaw koshshenna.
I really don't need to write to you about this offering for God's people.
2 Hintte maaddanaw keehi amotteyssa ta erays. Hintte Akkaya asay, zillaythafe doomidi maaddanaw giigettidayssa taani Maqedooniya asaas doona kunthada odas. Hintte gita amoykka enttafe darota denthethis.
I know how keen you are to help—I was boasting about this to those in Macedonia that you in Achaia have been ready for over a year, and your enthusiasm has encouraged many of them to give.
3 Ha oosuwan hinttenan nu ceeqettiya ceeqoy hada gidonna mela koyro hinttebaa ta odidayssada hintte giigettidi naagana mela ha ishata hintteko kiittas.
But I'm sending these brothers so that my boasting about you regarding this won't be proved wrong, and that you're prepared, just as I said you would be.
4 Maqedooniya asay taara bidi, hintte giigettonna de7ishin, demmiko, nu hinttenan yeellatana; qassi hintte nuuppe aadho yeellatana.
This is just in case some Macedonians should come with me and find you unprepared. We, not to mention you, would be really embarrassed if this project failed!
5 Hessa gisho, ha ishati taappe sinthattidi hintteko bidi, hintte immana gida imuwa kasetidi giigisana mela ta enttana kiittas. Taani gakkiya wode he imoy giigi uttees. He wode he keehatetha imoy wolqqan gidonnashin, dosan gideyssa erisees.
That's why I decided I should ask these brothers to visit you in advance, and complete the arrangements to collect this offering, so that it would be ready as a gift, and not as something demanded.
6 Hayssa akeekite; guuthu zeriday guuthu cakkana; daro zeriday daro cakkana.
I want to remind you of this: If you only sow a little, you'll only reap a little; if you sow plenty, you'll reap plenty.
7 Xoossay ufayssan immiya uraa dosiya gisho, wolqqan woykko dosi baynna gidonnashin, issi issi asi ba wozanan qoppidayssada dosan immanaw bessees.
Everybody should give as they've already decided—not reluctantly, or because they have to, for God loves those who give with a cheerful spirit.
8 Ubba wode ubbaban koshshiyaba ubbaa demmidi lo77o ooso ubbaa oothanaw dandda7ana mela Xoossay hinttew ba anjjuwaa darssana.
God is able to graciously provide you with everything, so that you will always have all you need—with plenty to help others too.
9 Geeshsha Maxaafan, “I ba shaluwa manqotas laallis; iya xillotethay merinaw de7ana” yaagees. (aiōn g165)
As Scripture says, “He gives generously to the poor; his generosity is everlasting.” (aiōn g165)
10 Zereyssas zerethi, maanaw kathi immiya Goday, hintte zeriya zerethaa darssidi immana. Hintte xillotethaa ayfiyaakka darssana.
God, who provides seed to the sower and gives bread for food, will provide and multiply your “seed” and increase your harvest of generosity.
11 Daro asay hintte immiya imuwa nuuppe ekkidi, Xoossaa galatanaada, hintte ubba wode darssidi immeyssata gidana mela, Xoossay hinttena ubba baggara dureyana.
You will be made rich in every way so that you can always be very generous, and your generosity will lead others to be grateful to God.
12 Ha hintte immiya imoy ammaniyaa asaa pacaa kuntho xalaala gidonnashin, asay Xoossaa galatanaw gaaso gidees.
When you serve in this way, not only are the needs of God's people met, but also many will give grateful thanks to God.
13 Ha hintte oosoy hintte ammanuwa ersidi Kiristtoosa Wonggelaa hintte ammanidinne iyaw kiitettidi hinttew de7iyabaa enttaranne haratara shaakettida gisho ubbay Xoossaa bonchchana.
By giving this offering you show your true nature, and those who receive it will thank God for your obedience, since it shows your commitment to the good news of Christ and your generosity in giving to them and everyone else.
14 Xoossay hinttew immida aadho keehatethaa gisho entti hinttew Xoossaa woossishe hinttena be7anaw laamotosona.
They will pray for you with much fondness because of God's abundant grace working through you.
15 Zawi baynna Xoossaa imuwas Xoossay galatetto.
Thank God for his gift that is far greater than words can express!
