2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Nʼkosafunika kuti ndikulembereni za utumiki othandiza anthu a Mulungu.
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.
Popeza ndikudziwa mtima wanu wofuna kuthandiza, ndipo ndakhala ndikuwawuza monyadira a ku Makedoniya za chimenechi. Ndimawawuza kuti inu a ku Akaya munakonzeka kale chaka chatha kuti mupereke. Ndipo changu chanu chapatsa chidwi ambiri mwa iwo kuti nawonso achitepo kanthu.
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,
Koma ndikutumiza abalewo kuti kukunyadirani kwathu pa zimenezi kutsimikizike kuti si kwachabe ndi kuti mukhale okonzeka monga ndinanenera.
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.
Pakuti nditabwera kumeneko ndi abale ena a ku Makedoniya, ndikukupezani kuti simunakonzeke, tingadzachite manyazi chifukwa chokudalirani. Koma amene angadzachite manyazi kwambiri ndi inuyo.
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.
Choncho ndinaganiza kuti nʼkofunika kupempha abale kuti adzakuchezereni ineyo ndisanafike, ndikuti adzatsirize kukonzekera mphatso zomwe munalonjeza kupereka mowolowamanja. Motero mphatsoyo idzakhala yokonzeratu, ndipo idzakhala mphatso yoperekedwa mowolowamanja, osati mokakamizidwa.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Takumbukirani mawu awa: Amene adzala pangʼono, adzakololanso pangʼono, ndipo amene adzala zochuluka, adzakololanso zochuluka.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Munthu aliyense apereke chimene watsimikiza mu mtima mwake kuti apereka, osati monyinyirika kapena mokakamizidwa, pakuti Mulungu amakonda wopereka mokondwera.
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.
Ndipo Mulungu akhoza kukudalitsani kwambiri, kuti inuyo nthawi zonse mukhale ndi zinthu zokukwanirani, ndiponso ndi zina zochuluka kuti muthandize pa ntchito zonse zabwino.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
Paja analemba kuti, “Wopereka mphatso zake mowolowamanja kwa osauka, chilungamo chake chimanka mpaka muyaya.” (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,
Tsono Mulungu amene amapereka mbewu kwa wofesa, ndiponso chakudya kuti adye, adzaperekanso mbewu mʼnkhokwe zanu ndi kuzichulukitsa. Iye adzachulukitsanso zipatso za chilungamo chanu.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
Adzakulemeretsani pa zonse kuti mukhale owolowamanja pa nthawi zonse. Ndipo kuwolowamanja kwanu kudzera mwa ife, kudzakhala kuthokoza kwa Mulungu.
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,
Ntchito imene mukugwirayi siyongothandiza kokha anthu a Mulungu kupeza zosowa, komanso ikuthandiza kuti anthu ambiri ayamike Mulungu.
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,
Chifukwa cha ntchito imene mwawatsimikizira nokha, anthu ena onse adzayamika Mulungu chifukwa cha kumvera kwanu kumene kumaonekera pamene mukuvomereza Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu, ndiponso chifukwa chowagawira mowolowamanja iwowo pamodzi ndi wina aliyense.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Ndipo iwowo adzakupemphererani mwachikondi chifukwa cha chisomo choposa chimene Ambuye wakupatsani.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Tiyamike Mulungu chifukwa cha mphatso zake zosaneneka!
