2 Kolinta 9

1 Yaali n tie yi todima bi nigagidiŋanba po, laa tie tiladi min go diani yi.

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

2 Kelima n bani yin pia yaa yankoali laa todima po. n pagi n yuli yi po, Maseduana yaaba kani ki waani ba ke hali jele ke Akayi yaaba wan cili ki bogini. yin pia yaa yankoali teni ke niba boncianla moko yaa yankoali fundi.

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 N soani ti kpiiba yi kani, kelima mii bua min den pagi yi maama kelima laa bonli po n tua fanma n bua ke ban sua ke yi bogini gbeni nani min den yedi maama.

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 Kelima mii bua Maseduana yaaba yaa ti yegi leni nni ban sua ke yii bogini gbeni; ti dugidi yi po n tua ti po fe, ki da yedi, i fe baa tua i yii.

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 Lan yaapo, n den laa ke li tie tiladi min mia n kpiiba ban ga liiga, ki gedi yi po ki cili kaa taaga yin den niani ke yi baa pa yaa todima. ban sua ke li bonli kuli bogini ki gbeni, lani n tie ban bandi ke yi puni leni yi pala kuli, ki laa tie leni yanbiidi ka.

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 Yin bandi mani yua n buli waamu, o baa yendi waamu, yua n buli boncianla mo baa yendi boncianla.

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

7 Yua kuli n teni nani wan jagi o pali nni maama ki da pa leni pabiili, bi, nani ban tieni yua u paalu yeni.

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

8 U tienu baa fidi ki teni yin gbie leni O ŋanbili ki yaa pia ke li dagidi o yogunu. ke li bonli kuli nni yin fidi ki kuani yi ŋantaadi, ki yaa go pia ke li yaabi kandi ki baa teni yin yaa tuuni a tuonŋama.

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 Nani lan diani maama: «O den tieni mi ŋanma, o den todi a luoda, O teginma ye hali o yogunu kuli». (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 U tienu wan yua n puuni o kpakpalo li bonbuli kaala, leni o bonjekaala, wanin n baa pa yi ki pugini ki teni yi bonbuli kaala n pili, o go baa pugini yi teginma bonluon kaala.

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 Yi piama baa yabidi li bonli kuli nni yin ba ki yaa puuni len ti bulcindi yogunu n kuli. ke yin suanti, tin teni yaaba yi todima yeni, baa tuondi U tienu.

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

12 Kelima yi todima baa kuani bi ni gagidiŋanba ŋantaado, li go baa teni niba boncianla tuondi U tienu po n yabidi.

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 Ban la yin todiba maama yeni po, bi kpiagi U tienu kelima yi waani ba yi tuoma Kilisiti labaaliŋamo tuonli nni; len yin puni bani, leni yaaba sieni kuli yi paabu leni yi pala kuli maama.

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 Bi bua yi lan teni ke bi jandi U tienu yi po kelima wan puni yi yaa ŋanbicianli po.

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

15 U tienu n ba i tuondi kelima o paabu yaabu n ki pia maama yeni po.

Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
