2 Corinthians 9

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

Ke lemoga gore ga go tlhokege go lo lotlegela se, go thusa batho ba Modimo.

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.

Gonne ke itse ka fa lo tlhwaafaletseng go go dira ka teng, ebile ke ikgantsheditse ditsala mo Masedonia gore lo sale lo ipaakanyeditse go romela kabelo ngogola. Mme tota, ke ka tlhoafalo e ya lona e e tlhotlheleditseng ba le bantsi go simolola go thusa.

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,

Mme ke romela banna ba fela go tlhomamisa gore tota lo ipaakantse, jaaka ke ba boleletse gore lo tlaa bo lo ipaakantse, le madi a lona otlhe a phuthilwe; ga ke batle gore mo nakong e go ikgantsha ga me kaga lona e bo e le lefela.

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.

Ke ka tlhajwa ke ditlhong thata, mmogo le lona fa bangwe ba Masedonia ba tla le nna, mme ba fitlhela gore ga lo ise lo bo lo ipaakanye ke sena go lo bolelela!

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.

Jalo ke kopile bakaulengwe ba bangwe go goroga pele ga me go bona gore mpho e lo e solofeditseng e siame. Ke batla gore e bo e le mpho tota e sa lebege jaaka ekete e ntshitswe ka patiko.

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

Mme gakologelwang, fa o o fa go le go botlana, o tlaa amogela mo go botlana, molemi yo o lemang peo e se kae fela, o bona thobo e potlana, mme fa a lema thata, o tlaa roba mo go ntsi.

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

Mongwe le mongwe o tshwanetse go akanya ka fa o tshwanetseng go aba ka teng. Lo se pateletse ope go ntsha mo go ntsi go feta mo tota ene a batlang go go ntsha, gonne batho ba ba abang ka bopelontle ke bone ba Modimo o ba nayang dikgele,

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.

Modimo o nonofile go lo direla ka go lo naya sengwe le sengwe se lo se tlhokang le go feta moo, gore go se ka ga lekana le tse lo di tlhokang fela, gore go tle go sale go le gontsi mo go tlaa abelwang ba bangwe ka boitumelo.

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

Go ntse jaaka dikwalo di bolela di re: “Motho wa Modimo o abela bahumanegi ka pelo e tshweu. Ditiro tsa gagwe tse di molemo di tlaa nna tlotlo mo go ene ka bosakhutleng.” (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,

Gonne Modimo, o o nayang molemi peo go lema, mme morago, o mo neye thobo e e siameng go ja, o tlaa nna o lo naya peo gore lo leme, ebile o tlaa e godisa gore lo tle lo abele ba bangwe mo thobong ya lona.

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

Ee, Modimo o tlaa lo naya go le gontsi gore le lona lo tle lo abele ba bangwe mo thobong ya lona, mme fa re isa dimpho tsa lona kwa go ba ba di tsholang ba tlaa thubega ka tebogo le pako mo Modimong ka ntlha ya thuso ya lona.

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,

Jalo dilo tse pedi tse di molemo di diragala ka ntlha ya dimpho tsa lona, ba ba tlhokang ba a thusiwa, mme ba leboga Modimo mo go golo.

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,

Ba lo ba thusang ba tlaa itumela e seng fela ka ntlha ya dimpho tsa bopelo-ntle jwa lona mo go bone le ba bangwe, mme ba tlaa baka Modimo ka tshupo e gore ditiro tsa lona di molemo fela jaaka thuto ya lona.

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

Mme ba tlaa lo rapelela ka tlhwaafalo e kgolo le maikutlo ka ntlha ya tshegofatso e e hakgamatsang ya Modimo e e supilweng ka lona.

15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

Lebogang Modimo ka Morwaa-one, ebong neo e e hakgamatsang e go leng thata go ka e tlhalosa ka molomo.
