2 Korintiana 9
1 Ty fiatrahañe o noro’eo, le tsy loho paiañe ty hanokirañe ama’ areo.
For indeed, concerning the ministry that [is] for the holy ones, it is superfluous for me to write to you,
2 Amy te apotako ty fahimbaña’ areo, le isengeako amo nte-Makedoniao, te fa niveka’e tamy taoñe teoy ty Akaia, vaho maro ty nosiheñe ami’ty zoton-tro’ areo.
for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared a year ago, and your zeal stirred up the greater part,
3 Fe nahitri’ay o roahalahio tsy mone ho kòake ty nisengea’ay anahareo amo raha zao, ie fa nanoako ty hoe te mete ho veka’e.
and I sent the brothers, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, you may be ready,
4 Hera hindre lia amako mb’eo t’i nte Makedonia hanjo anahareo tsy veka’e, hanalats’ anay (tsy nataoko: Nahareo) ie natokisañe.
lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we may be put to shame (that we do not say—you) in this same confidence of boasting.
5 Aa le nataoko ho mete te hosiheñe homb’ama’ areo mb’eo hey i rahalahy rey hañajary i falalàñe nampitama’ areoy, hañentseña’e ho ravoravo fa tsy fatitiañe.
Therefore I thought [it] necessary to exhort the brothers, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.
6 Inao ty lengo’e: hanatake tsy ampeampe i mitongy kedekedekey, vaho hanatake tsi-fotofoto ty mitongy maro.
And [remember] this: he who is sowing sparingly, will also reap sparingly; and he who is sowing in blessings, will also reap in blessings;
7 Songa hanolotse ty amy fisafirin’ arofo’ey, le tsy am-parahy, tsy an-jizy; amy te non’ Añahare ty mpañolotse an-kaehake.
each one, according as he purposes in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver,
8 Le meten’ Añahare ty handipora’e ze atao hasoa, le ie eneñe nainai’e amy ze hene paiae’ areo ro hiraorao amy ze fonga tolon-draha soa.
and God [is] able to cause all grace to abound to you, that in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound to every good work,
9 Hoe ty pinatetse: Naboele’e mbeo’ mbeo, Nifahana’e o rarakeo; Nainai’e ty havantaña’e. (aiōn g165)
according as it has been written: “He dispersed abroad, He gave to the poor, His righteousness remains throughout the age,” (aiōn g165)
10 Le i mpanolotse tabiry amo mpitongio naho mahakama ho kamaeñey abey ro hanolotse naho hampitombo ty tabiry tongise’ areo vaho hampitoabotse ty tolin-tsabon-kavantaña’ areo.
and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11 Le hampitomboeñe amy ze he’e ho am-patarihañe heneke, am-pañandriañañe an’Andrianañahare añama’ay.
being enriched to all liberality in everything, which works thanksgiving through us to God,
12 Amy te tsy vaho hamahañe ze paia’ o noro’eo avao ty famandroñañe o fiatrahañe zao, ie mandopatse ty amo fañandriañañe maro an’ Andrianañahareo.
because the ministry of this service not only is supplying the wants of the holy ones, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
13 Ty fanolorañe o fiatrahañe zao mamente am’ondati-reo t’ie mandrenge an’Andrianañahare ami’ty anoe’ areo ze iantofa’ areo te nafe’ i talili-soa’ i Norizañey, naho t’ie am-patarihañe ty andivañe am’iereo vaho am’ iabikey.
through the proof of this ministry glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,
14 Le amo filolofa’ iareoo ty himaniña’e anahareo ty amy hasoan’ Añahare ama’ areo.
and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God on you;
15 Andriañeñe abey t’i Andrianañahare ty amy fatariha’e tsi-amañ’ohatsey.
thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!
