2 Korint 9

1 Paske se pa nesesè pou m ta ekri nou sou ministè sa a pou sen yo,

But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

2 paske mwen konnen volonte nou. Pou sa menm, mwen fè nou konpliman devan pèp Macédoine lan, anfèt ke Achaïe te deja prepare depi ane pase, e ke zèl nou te eksite pifò nan yo.

For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

3 Men mwen te voye frè yo, pouke konpliman nou an pa ta fèt nan vid nan ka sa a, pouke jan mwen t ap di a, nou kapab byen prepare.

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

4 Pou si li pa t fèt, epi nenpòt nan Masedonyen yo ta parèt avè m, nou pa t ap desi (ak ou menm tou) e soufri wont akoz sa ki te anvizaje.

For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

5 Donk, mwen te panse ke li te nesesè pou ankouraje frè yo pou yo ta ale devan nou menm pou òganize davans kado jenewozite ke nou te deja pwomèt la. Epi konsa, kado sa a ta kapab parèt kon yon kado jenewozite ki pa afekte pa lanvi de nou menm.

So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

6 Sonje, sila a ki simen tikal va rekòlte tikal. Men sila a ki simen an abondans va rekòlte an abondans.

But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

7 Chak moun dwe fè jis jan ke li te rezone nan kè l, pa avèk regrè oubyen anba presyon, paske Bondye renmen yon moun ki bay avèk jwa.

Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver.

8 Epi Bondye kapab fè tout gras vin an kantite a nou menm, pou nou toujou gen kont nou nan tout bagay, pou nou kapab gen osi yon abondans nan tout bon zèv.

And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

9 Jan sa ekri a: “Li te gaye toupatou. Li te bay a malere yo. Ladwati Li ap rete jis pou tout tan.” (aiōn g165)

As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever. (aiōn g165)

10 Koulye a Li menm ki founi semans pou sila k ap simen an avèk pen pou l manje, va founi e miltipliye semans nou an pou simen e ogmante rekòlt ladwati nou an.

And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

11 Pou konsa, nou ka anrichi nan tout bagay ak tout jenewozite, ki atravè nou, ap pwodwi remèsiman a Bondye.

Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

12 Paske ministè sèvis don sa a se pa sèlman pou byen founi bezwen a sen yo, men va osi pou debòde atravè anpil remèsiman a Bondye.

For this work of giving not only takes care of the needs of the saints, but is the cause of much praise to God;

13 Akoz de prèv ki te bay pa ministè sèvis sila a, yo va bay Bondye glwa pou obeyisans konfesyon levanjil a Kris la, ak jenewozite don pa nou pou yo menm, ak tout lòt yo.

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

14 Pandan yo menm osi, nan lapriyè pou nou, y ap gen dezi wè nou akoz ke gras Bondye ki anndan nou an ki depase tout bagay.

While their hearts go out to you in love and in prayer for you, because of the great grace of God which is in you.

15 Remèsiman a Bondye pou don Li ki depase tout sa ki kapab eksprime.

Praise be to God for what he has given, which words have no power to say.
