< 2 Corinthians 9 >

1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Na rĩrĩ, ndikuona harĩ bata ndĩmwandĩkĩre ũhoro wa ũteithio ũrĩa wagĩrĩire kũheo andũ arĩa aamũre.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ kĩyo kĩanyu gĩa kwenda gũteithia, na nĩngoretwo ngĩĩrahĩra ũndũ ũcio kũrĩ andũ a Makedonia, ngameera atĩ kuuma mwaka ũcio ũrathirire, inyuĩ andũ a Akaia mũtũire mwĩhaarĩirie kũheana; na kĩyo kĩu kĩanyu nĩkĩo kĩarahũrĩte aingĩ ao.
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,
No nĩngũtũma ariũ a Ithe witũ nĩguo kwĩraha gwitũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ wa mũhothi gũtigatuĩke gwa tũhũ, no mũgaakorwo mwĩhaarĩirie, o ta ũrĩa ndoigire atĩ nĩmwĩharĩirie.
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.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ amwe a Makedonia mangĩrehane na niĩ makore mũtehaarĩirie-rĩ, ithuĩ, o na tũtekũmũgweta-rĩ, nĩtũgaaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo tũmwĩhokeete.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩndĩronire arĩ wega gũthaitha ariũ a Ithe witũ maambe mamũceerere ihinda rĩu rĩtanakinya, nĩguo marĩkĩrĩrie mĩbango ya kĩheo kĩa ũtaana kĩrĩa mweranĩire. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩheo kĩu nĩgĩgakorwo kĩrĩ ho, na kĩheanĩtwo na kwĩyendera, no ti na kũringĩrĩrio.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Ririkanai ũũ: Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga tũnini akaagetha o tũnini, nake ũrĩa ũhaandaga nyingĩ akaagetha nyingĩ.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
O mũndũ aagĩrĩirwo nĩkũheana kĩrĩa atuĩte na ngoro yake nĩekũheana, na ndakaheane atekwenda kana taarĩ kũringĩrĩrio, nĩgũkorwo Ngai endaga mũndũ ũrĩa ũheanaga akenete.
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.
Nake Ngai arĩ na ũhoti wa gũtũma mũingĩhĩrwo nĩ maũndũ mothe ma wega wake, nĩguo maũndũ-inĩ mothe na mahinda-inĩ mothe, mũkoragwo na kĩrĩa gĩothe mũbatarĩtio nĩkĩo, nĩguo mũkoragwo mũingĩhĩtie indo cia kũruta wĩra o wothe mwega.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩahurunjĩte iheo ciake akahe andũ arĩa athĩĩni; ũthingu wake ũtũũraga nginya tene na tene.” (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,
Na rĩrĩ, ũrĩa ũheaga mũhandi mbeũ na akamũhe irio cia kũrĩa, nĩarĩmũheaga mbeũ cia kũhaanda, na atũme cingĩhe, na ongerere magetha ma ũthingu wanyu.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
Na inyuĩ nĩmũrĩtongagio na njĩra ciothe nĩguo mũheanage na ũtaana hĩndĩ ciothe, naguo ũtaana wanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra witũ, ũtũmage Ngai acookagĩrio ngaatho.
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,
Ũteithio ũyũ mũraruta ti kuuga atĩ no andũ a Ngai mũrahingĩria mabata mao, no nĩũtũmaga Ngai acookagĩrio ngaatho na njĩra nyingĩ.
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,
Na tondũ wa ũtungata ũcio mwĩonanĩtie naguo ũrĩa mũhaana-rĩ, andũ nĩmarĩgoocaga Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mwathĩkĩire Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa Kristũ ũrĩa muumbũraga atĩ nĩmũwĩtĩkĩtie-rĩ, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũtaana wanyu wakũgwatanĩra nao o na wakũgwatanĩra na andũ arĩa angĩ othe.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Na rĩrĩa mekũmũhoera, ngoro ciao nĩimwĩciiragia, tondũ wa ũrĩa wega wa Ngai ũrĩa inyuĩ mũheetwo ũkĩrĩrĩirie kũingĩha.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Ngai arocookerio ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wa kĩheo gĩake kĩrĩa gĩtangiugĩka na ciugo ũrĩa gĩtariĩ!
