2 Korintofo 9
1 Ɛho nhia sɛ mekyerɛw mo fa mmoa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ Yudea no ho.
It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
2 Minim sɛ ɛyɛ mo pɛ sɛ moboa nti mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Makedonia no. Mekae se, “Anuanom a wɔwɔ Hela no siesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔbɛboa afe a etwaa mu no mu.” Mo ahokeka no akanyan wɔn mu fa kɛse no.
for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
3 Afei merema anuanom yi aba mo nkyɛn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a hoa a yɛde mo hoahoa yɛn ho no nyɛ nsɛnkeka kwa. Na sɛnea mekae no, mubesiesie mo ho aboa.
But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
4 Sɛ anyɛ saa na sɛ nnipa no ne me fi Makedonia ba behu sɛ munsiesiee mo ho a yɛn anim begu ase. Mo nso mo anim begu ase bi sɛ mudii yɛn nhuammɔ.
so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confidence.
5 Enti midwen ho huu sɛ eye sɛ anuanom bi di mʼanim kan kɔhwehwɛ akyɛde a mohyɛɛ me ho bɔ no gu hɔ. Ɛba saa a, bere a medu hɔ no na ɛwɔ hɔ na ama adi adanse sɛ mo na momae, efisɛ na mopɛ sɛ moma nti, na mmom, ɛnyɛ sɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ moma.
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 Monkae saa asɛm yi: Onipa a ogu aba kakraa bi no, betwa so kakraa bi, na nea ogu aba bebree no, betwa so bebree.
Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 Mo mu biara mma sɛnea wadwene ho no, a ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔyaw anaa ɔhyɛ mu, efisɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ obi a ɔde anigye ma akyɛde no asɛm.
Each person should give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 Na Onyankopɔn betumi ama wo aboro nea ɛho hia wo no so; enti daa na wowɔ nea ɛho hia wo, na wubenya bi nso adi dwuma foforo a ɛfata sɛ wudi.
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.
As it is written, "He has scattered, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." (aiōn g165)
10 Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma ogufo no aba ne brodo sɛ aduan di no bɛma wo nso aba a ehia wo nyinaa na wahwɛ so ama anyin na wʼadɔe no nti, asow bebree.
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
11 Daa ɔbɛhwɛ ma woanya wo ho na woayɛ adɔe, na ɛnam so ama dodow no ara ada Onyankopɔn ase wɔ akyɛde a yenya fi mo nkyɛn no ho.
you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
12 Saa adɔe a moyɛ yi, monnyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo nko, na mmom, anam so ama nnipa bebree ada Onyankopɔn ase.
For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;
13 Esiane dwuma a moadi de adi mo ho adanse pa no nti, nnipa gyina nokware a moadi wɔ Kristo asɛnka no ne mo adɔe a moyɛ maa obiara no so bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn.
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 liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
14 Enti wɔde ɔdɔ bɛbɔ mpae ama mo, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ama mo adom a ɛboro so.
while they themselves also, with petition on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ nʼakyɛde a enni kabea no ho.
Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.
