2 Corinthians 9

1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

Fa ny amin’ ny fiantrana ho an’ ny olona masìna, dia tsy misy tokony hanoratako aminareo;

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.

fa fantatro ny fahazotoanareo, izay ataoko rehareha ny aminareo amin’ ny Makedoniana hoe: Efa vonona hatry ny taon-itsy Akaia, ary ny zotom-ponareo dia namporisika ny maro.

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,

Kanefa naniraka ireo rahalahy ireo ihany aho, fandrao dia ho foana ny reharehanay ny aminareo amin’ izany zavatra izany, mba ho vonona ianareo araka izay nolazaiko,

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.

fandrao, raha tàhiny hisy hiaraka amiko ny avy eto Makedonia ka hahita anareo tsy mbola vonona, dia ho menatra izahay (mba tsy hanaovanay hoe, ianareo) noho izany fahatokiana izany.

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.

Koa nataoko fa tsy maintsy mangataka ny rahalahy handeha hialoha ho any aminareo aho ka hahavita rahateo ny fiantranareo izay nokasainareo teo aloha, mba hovitaina toy ny fiantrana izany, fa tsy toy ny fahihirana.

6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Fa izao no lazaiko: Izay mamafy kely, dia kely no hojinjany; fa izay mamafy be, dia be kosa no hojinjany.

7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Aoka ny olona rehetra samy hanao araka izay inian’ ny fony avy, tsy amin’ ny alahelo, na amin’ ny faneriterena; fa ny mpanome amin’ ny fifaliana no tian’ Andriamanitra.

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.

Ary Andriamanitra mahay mampitombo ny fahasoavana rehetra aminareo, mba hanananareo ny onony rehetra mandrakariva amin’ ny zavatra rehetra, ka hitombo amin’ ny asa tsara rehetra;

9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)

araka ny voasoratra hoe: Namafy izy, eny, nanome ho an’ ny malahelo; Ny fahamarinany maharitra mandrakizay. (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,

Ary Izay manome voa ho an’ ny mpamafy sy mofo hohanina dia hanome sy hahabe ny voa afafinareo ary hampitombo ny vokatry ny fahamarinanareo,

11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

dia hanan-karena amin’ ny zavatra rehetra ianareo ka handroso amin’ ny hitsim-po, izay mahatonga ny fisaoranay an’ Andriamanitra.

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,

Fa ny fanaovana izany fanompoam-pivavahana izany dia tsy mahafaka ny alahelon’ ny olona masìna ihany, fa mahabe ny fisaoran’ ny maro an’ Andriamanitra koa,

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,

satria ny fizahan-toetra anareo amin’ izany fanompoana izany no ankalazany an’ Andriamanitra noho ny fitananareo tsara ny fanekenareo ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy sy noho ny fahazotoanareo amin’ ny fiantrana ho azy sy ho an’ ny olona rehetra;

14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

ary amin’ ny fangatahany ho anareo dia manina anareo izy noho ny haben’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra aminareo.

15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

Isaorana anie Andriamanitra noho ny fanomezany tsy azo tononina.
