2 Korintofoɔ 9
1 Ɛho nhia sɛ metwerɛ mo fa mmoa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yudea no ho.
For as touching the ministring to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write vnto 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 knowe your readinesse of minde, whereof I boast my selfe of you vnto them of Macedonia, and say, that Achaia was prepared a yeere agoe, and your zeale hath prouoked many.
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.
Nowe haue I sent the brethren, lest our reioycing ouer you shoulde bee in vaine in this behalfe, that yee (as I haue sayde) be readie:
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 if they of Macedonia come with me, and finde you vnprepared, we (that wee may not say, you) should be ashamed in this my constant boasting.
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.
Wherefore, I thought it necessarie to exhort the brethren to come before vnto you, and to finish your beneuolence appointed afore, that it might be readie, and come as of beneuolence, and not as of niggardlinesse.
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.
This yet remember, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reape also sparingly, and hee that soweth liberally, shall reape also liberally.
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.
As euery man wisheth in his heart, so let him giue, not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer.
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.
And God is able to make all grace to abound towarde you, that yee alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all thinges, may abounde in euery good worke,
(As it is written, He hath sparsed abroad and hath giuen to the poore: his beneuolence remayneth for euer. (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.
Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence, )
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.
That on all partes yee may bee made rich vnto all liberalitie, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing vnto God.
12 Saa adɔeɛ a moyɛ yi, monnyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nko, na mmom, ɛnam so ma nnipa bebree da Onyankopɔn ase.
For the ministration of this seruice not onely supplieth the necessities of the Saintes, but also aboundantly causeth many to giue thankes 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.
(Which by the experiment of this ministration praise God for your voluntarie submission to the Gospell of Christ, and for your liberall distribution to them, and to all men)
14 Enti, wɔde ɔdɔ bɛbɔ mpaeɛ ama mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn ama mo adom a ɛboro so.
And in their praier for you, to log after you greatly, for the aboundant grace of God in you.
15 Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ nʼakyɛdeɛ a ɛnni kabea no ho.
Thankes therefore bee vnto God for his vnspeakeable gift.
