2 Korintofoɔ 9
1 Ɛho nhia sɛ metwerɛ mo fa mmoa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yudea no ho.
For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.
2 Menim sɛ ɛyɛ mo pɛ sɛ moboa enti, mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Makedonia no. Mekaa sɛ, “Anuanom a wɔwɔ Hela no siesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔbɛboa afe a ɛtwaam no mu.” Mo ahokeka no akanyane wɔn mu fa kɛseɛ no.
For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].
3 Afei, merema anuanom yi aba mo nkyɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, hoa a yɛde mo hoahoa yɛn ho no nnyɛ nsɛnkeka kwa. Na, sɛdeɛ mekaeɛ no, mobɛsiesie mo ho aboa.
But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;
4 Sɛ anyɛ saa na sɛ nnipa no ne me firi Makedonia ba bɛhunu sɛ monsiesiee mo ho a, yɛn anim bɛgu ase. Mo nso mo anim bɛgu ase bi sɛ modii yɛn hwammɔ.
lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, that we say not ye, may be put to shame in this confidence.
5 Enti, medwene ho hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ anuanom bi di mʼanim ɛkan na wɔkɔpɛ akyɛdeɛ a mohyɛɛ me ho bɔ no gu hɔ. Ɛba saa a, ɛberɛ a mɛduru hɔ no na ɛwɔ hɔ na adi adanseɛ sɛ mo na momaeɛ ɛfiri sɛ, na mopɛ sɛ moma enti, na mmom, na ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moma.
I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.
6 Monkae saa asɛm yi: Onipa a ɔgu aba kakra bi no, bɛtwa so kakraa bi, na deɛ ɔgu aba bebree no, bɛtwa so bebree.
But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:
7 Mo mu biara mma sɛdeɛ wadwene ho no, a ɛnyɛ sɛ yea anaa ɔhyɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn pɛ obi a ɔde anigyeɛ ma akyɛdeɛ no asɛm.
each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 Na Onyankopɔn bɛtumi ama wo aboro deɛ ɛho hia wo no so, enti daa na wowɔ deɛ ɛho hia wo, na wobɛnya bi nso adi dwuma foforɔ a ɛfata sɛ wodi.
But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:
according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever. (aiōn g165)
10 Na Onyankopɔn a ɔma ogufoɔ no aba ne burodo sɛ aduane die no bɛma wo nso aba a ɛhia wo nyinaa na wahwɛ so ama anyini na wʼadɔeɛ no enti, aso bebree.
Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
11 Daa ɔbɛhwɛ ma woanya wo ho na woayɛ adɔeɛ, na ɛnam so ama dodoɔ no ara ada Onyankopɔn ase wɔ akyɛdeɛ a yɛnya firi mo nkyɛn no ho.
enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
12 Saa adɔeɛ a moyɛ yi, monnyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nko, na mmom, ɛnam so ma nnipa bebree da Onyankopɔn ase.
Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;
13 Esiane dwuma a moadi de adi mo ho adanseɛ pa no enti, nnipa gyina nokorɛ a moadi wɔ Kristo asɛnka no ne mo adɔeɛ a moyɛ maa obiara no so bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn.
they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;
14 Enti, wɔde ɔdɔ bɛbɔ mpaeɛ ama mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ama mo adom a ɛboro so.
and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you.
15 Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ nʼakyɛdeɛ a ɛnni kabea no ho.
Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.
