2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Paske se pa nesesè pou m ta ekri nou sou ministè sa a pou sen yo,
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.
paske mwen konnen volonte nou. Pou sa menm, mwen fè nou konpliman devan pèp Macédoine lan, anfèt ke Achaïe te deja prepare depi ane pase, e ke zèl nou te eksite pifò nan yo.
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,
Men mwen te voye frè yo, pouke konpliman nou an pa ta fèt nan vid nan ka sa a, pouke jan mwen t ap di a, nou kapab byen prepare.
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.
Pou si li pa t fèt, epi nenpòt nan Masedonyen yo ta parèt avè m, nou pa t ap desi (ak ou menm tou) e soufri wont akoz sa ki te anvizaje.
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.
Donk, mwen te panse ke li te nesesè pou ankouraje frè yo pou yo ta ale devan nou menm pou òganize davans kado jenewozite ke nou te deja pwomèt la. Epi konsa, kado sa a ta kapab parèt kon yon kado jenewozite ki pa afekte pa lanvi de nou menm.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Sonje, sila a ki simen tikal va rekòlte tikal. Men sila a ki simen an abondans va rekòlte an abondans.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Chak moun dwe fè jis jan ke li te rezone nan kè l, pa avèk regrè oubyen anba presyon, paske Bondye renmen yon moun ki bay avèk jwa.
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.
Epi Bondye kapab fè tout gras vin an kantite a nou menm, pou nou toujou gen kont nou nan tout bagay, pou nou kapab gen osi yon abondans nan tout bon zèv.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
Jan sa ekri a: “Li te gaye toupatou. Li te bay a malere yo. Ladwati Li ap rete jis pou tout tan.” (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,
Koulye a Li menm ki founi semans pou sila k ap simen an avèk pen pou l manje, va founi e miltipliye semans nou an pou simen e ogmante rekòlt ladwati nou an.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
Pou konsa, nou ka anrichi nan tout bagay ak tout jenewozite, ki atravè nou, ap pwodwi remèsiman a Bondye.
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,
Paske ministè sèvis don sa a se pa sèlman pou byen founi bezwen a sen yo, men va osi pou debòde atravè anpil remèsiman a Bondye.
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,
Akoz de prèv ki te bay pa ministè sèvis sila a, yo va bay Bondye glwa pou obeyisans konfesyon levanjil a Kris la, ak jenewozite don pa nou pou yo menm, ak tout lòt yo.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Pandan yo menm osi, nan lapriyè pou nou, y ap gen dezi wè nou akoz ke gras Bondye ki anndan nou an ki depase tout bagay.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Remèsiman a Bondye pou don Li ki depase tout sa ki kapab eksprime.
