2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
О службе бо, яже ко святым, лишше ми есть писати вам,
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.
вем бо усердие ваше, имже о вас хвалюся Македоняном, яко Ахаиа приготовися от мимошедшаго лета: и яже от вас ревность раздражи множайших.
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,
Послах же братию, да не похваление наше, еже о вас, испразднится в части сей, но да, якоже глаголах, приготовани будете:
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.
да не како, аще приидут со мною Македоняне и обрящут вас неприготованных, постыдимся мы, да не глаголем вы, в части сей похваления.
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.
Потребно убо умыслих умолити братию, да прежде приидут к вам и предуготовят прежде возвещенное благословение ваше, сие готово быти тако, якоже благословение, а не яко лихоимство.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Се же глаголю: сеяй скудостию, скудостию и пожнет: а сеяй о благословении, о благословении и пожнет.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Кийждо якоже изволение имать сердцем, не от скорби, ни от нужды: доброхотна бо дателя любит Бог.
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.
Силен же Бог всяку благодать изюбиловати в вас, да о всем всегда всяко довольство имуще, избыточествуете во всяко дело благо,
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
якоже есть писано: расточи, даде убогим: правда его пребывает во век века. (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,
Даяй же семя сеющему и хлеб в снедь, да подаст и умножит семя ваше, и да возрастит жита правды вашея,
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
да о всем богатящеся во всяку простоту, яже содевает нами благодарение Богу.
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,
Яко работа сего служения не токмо есть исполняющая лишения святых, но и избыточествующая многими благодареньми Богови:
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,
искушением служения сего славяще Бога о покорении исповедания вашего в Благовествовании Христове, и о простоте союбщения к ним и ко всем,
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
и о тех молитве о вас, возжелеющих вас за премногую благодать Божию на вас.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Благодарение же Богови о неисповедимем Его даре.
