2 Corinthians 9
1 Nísinsin yìí, nípa ti ìpín fún ni fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, kò tún yẹ mọ́ fún mi láti kọ̀wé sí yin ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
BUT concerning the administration of the saints, I do more (than enough) if I write to you.
2 Nítorí mo mọ ìtara láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ yín, èyí tí mo ti ṣògo fún àwọn ará Makedonia nítorí yín, pé, àwọn ara Akaia ti múra tan níwọ̀n ọdún kan tí ó kọjá ìtara yín sì ti rú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sókè.
For I know the goodness of your mind, of which I boasted of you to the Makedunoyee, that Akaia was ready since last year, and your zeal hath stirred up many.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n mo ti rán àwọn arákùnrin, kí ìṣògo wa nítorí yín má ṣe jásí asán ní ti ọ̀ràn yìí; pé gẹ́gẹ́ bí mó ti wí, kí ẹ̀yin lè múra tẹ́lẹ̀.
But I have sent the brethren to you, that our boasting which we boasted of you may not in this affair be vain; but, as I have said, you may be ready:
4 Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, bí àwọn nínú ara Makedonia bá bá mi wá, tí wọ́n sì bá yín ní àìmúra sílẹ̀, ojú a sì tì wá kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin, ní ti ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yìí.
lest, if the Makedunoyee should come with me, and find you not ready, we be shamed-that I may not say, you be shamed-of the boasting which we have boasted.
5 Nítorí náà ni mo ṣe rò pé ó yẹ láti gba àwọn arákùnrin níyànjú, kí wọn kọ́kọ́ tọ̀ yín wá, kí ẹ sì múra ẹ̀bùn yín, tí ẹ ti ṣe ìlérí tẹ́lẹ̀ sílẹ̀, kí ó lè ti wà ní lẹ́bi ẹ̀bùn gidi, kí ó má sì ṣe dàbí ohun ti a fi ìkùnsínú ṣe.
For this cause I have been careful to entreat of these brethren to go before to you, to make ready that blessing of which you have caused to be heard before; that it may be prepared, so as that it may be a blessing, not as avarice.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n èyí ni mo wí pé, ẹni tí ó bá fúnrúgbìn kín ún, kín ún ni yóò ká; ẹni tí ó bá sì fúnrúgbìn púpọ̀, púpọ̀ ni yóò ká.
But this, He who soweth with scantiness, with scantiness also reapeth; and he who soweth with blessing, with blessing also shall reap.
7 Kí olúkúlùkù ènìyàn ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti pinnu ní ọkàn rẹ̀; kì í ṣe àfi ìkùnsínú ṣe, tàbí ti àìgbọdọ̀ má ṣe; nítorí Ọlọ́run fẹ́ onínúdídùn ọlọ́rẹ.
Every man as he hath in his mind: not as of vexation or as of constraint; for a cheerful giver the Lord loveth.
8 Ọlọ́run sì lè mú kí gbogbo oore-ọ̀fẹ́ máa bí sí i fún yín; kí ẹ̀yin tí ó ní ànító ohun gbogbo, nígbà gbogbo, lè máa pọ̀ sí i ní iṣẹ́ rere gbogbo.
For it is in the power of Aloha to increase in you every good, that you may always have every thing sufficient, and that you may abound in every good work.
9 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ́ ọ pé: “Ó tí fọ́nká; ó ti fi fún àwọn tálákà, òdodo rẹ̀ dúró láéláé.” (aiōn g165)
As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor, And his righteousness standeth for ever. (aiōn g165)
10 Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí ń fi irúgbìn fún afúnrúgbìn, àti àkàrà fún oúnjẹ, yóò fi irúgbìn fún un yín, yóò sì sọ ọ́ di púpọ̀, yóò sì mú èso òdodo yín bí sí i.
But may He who giveth seed to the sower and bread for food, himself give and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó sọ yín di ọlọ́rọ̀ nínú ohun gbogbo, fún ìlawọ́ yín gbogbo tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run nípa wa.
that in every thing you may be enriched in all simplicity, which worketh out through us, thanksgiving to Aloha.
12 Nítorí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ ìsìn yìí kò kún ìwọ̀n àìní àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ó túbọ̀ pọ̀ sí i nípa ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọpẹ́ sí Ọlọ́run.
For, on account of the performance of this service, we not only supply the deficiency of the saints, but also cause many thanks givings to abound unto Aloha.
13 Nítorí ìdúró yin lábẹ́ ìdánwò iṣẹ́ ìsìn yìí, wọn yóò yin Ọlọ́run lógo fún ìgbọ́ràn yín ní gbígba ìyìnrere Kristi àti nípa ìlawọ́ ìdáwó yín fún wọn àti fún gbogbo ènìyàn.
For on account of the proof of this service we glorify Aloha, because you are subject to the confession of the gospel of Meshiha, and you have communicated in simplicity with them and with every man.
14 Àti nínú àdúrà fún un yín, ọkàn wọn ń ṣe àfẹ́rí yín nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run ti ń bẹ nínú yín.
And prayer they offer on your behalf in great love, on account of the greatness of the grace of Aloha which is upon you.
15 Ọpẹ́ ni fún Ọlọ́run nítorí aláìlèfẹnusọ ẹ̀bùn rẹ̀!
But thanks to Aloha over his gift which is unspeakable.
