2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
ᎾᏃ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏗᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ, ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᏱᏨᏲᏪᎳᏁᎭ.
2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
ᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᏗᎦᎵᏱᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏕᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᎦᏥᏯᏢᏈᏎᎭ, [ ᎦᏥᏃᏁᎭ ] ᎾᏍᎩ ᎡᎧᏯ ᎿᎭᏉ ᏑᏕᏘᏴᏛ ᎬᏩᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏂᎯ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏛ ᎤᏂᏣᏔ ᎤᏂᏖᎸᏅ.
3 But I have sent the brothers so that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,
ᎠᏎᏃ ᎦᏥᏅᎵ ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎᏉᏉ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎣᏣᏢᏈᏍᎬ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᎩᏪᏒᎢ.
4 lest by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there with me and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) would be disappointed in this confident boasting.
ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᏱᏅᏩᏎᎦᏨ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎠᏁᎯ ᏱᎬᎩᏍᏓᏩᏕᏅ, ᏱᏨᏩᏛᏔᏅᏃ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏅᎾ, ᎠᏴ, ( ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏱᎦᏗᎭ, ) ᏲᏣᏕᎰᎯ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎣᎪᎯᏳᎯ ᎣᎦᏢᏈᏒᎢ.
5 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.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏎ ᏱᎦᏥᏁᏤᎸ ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᎠᏇᎵᏒᎩ ᎢᎬᏱ ᏫᎨᏥᎷᏤᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᎬᏱ ᏭᎾᏛᏅᎢᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎢᏥᏗ ᎨᏒ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎧᏁᎢᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏛᏅᎢᏍᏔᏃᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᎯ ᎢᏥᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎢᏥᎨᏳᏅᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
ᎾᏂᎥ ᎩᎶ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᏧᏂᎾᏫᏱ [ ᎠᏂᎲᏍᎨᏍᏗ; ] ᎥᏝᏍᏗ ᏝᏉ ᎤᏂᏰᎸᎯ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏎ ᎤᏂᏗᏱ ᏥᏂᎨᎬᏁᎰ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ; ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᎤᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎤᏓᏁᏘ ᎠᎲᏍᎩ.
8 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.
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯᏰᏃ ᏰᎵᏉ ᎨᏥᏁᏗ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏄᏓᎴᏒ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏂᏥᏂᎬᏎᎲᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ, ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏗᎨᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᏚᏗᎦᎴᏯᏍᏔᏅ; ᎤᏲ ᎢᏳᎾᏛᎿᎭᏕᎩ ᏚᏁᎸ; ᎤᏓᏅᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏉ ᏂᎪᎯᎸᎢ. (aiōn g165)
10 Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ Ꮎ ᎤᎦᏔ ᎠᏫᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏚ ᎠᎵᏍᏓᏴᏙᏗ ᎠᏓᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ, ᎢᏥᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎪᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏫᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᏉᏍᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏘᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎦᏔᏔᏅᎯ;
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,
ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎠᏯᏔᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏅᎯ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᎤᏂᏂᎬᏎᎲ ᎠᎧᎵᎢᎯ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏱᎩ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᎾᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏂᎬᏁᎭ;
13 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 generosity of your contribution to them and to all,
ᎠᏂᎪᏩᏗᏍᎬᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎤᎾᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏛᏂᎸᏉᏔᏂ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏨᏁᎲ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏂᏥᎨᏳᎿᎭᎥᎾ ᎨᏒ ᏕᏥᏁᎲ ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ;
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎨᏥᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎨᏥᎨᏳᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᏥᏁᎸᎢ.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏂᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎦᏃᎮᎰᎲᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏥᎩ.
