2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,
Ɛho nhia sɛ mekyerɛw mo fa mmoa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ Yudea no ho.
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.
Minim sɛ ɛyɛ mo pɛ sɛ moboa nti mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Makedonia no. Mekae se, “Anuanom a wɔwɔ Hela no siesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔbɛboa afe a etwaa mu no mu.” Mo ahokeka no akanyan wɔn mu fa kɛse no.
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,
Afei merema anuanom yi aba mo nkyɛn sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a hoa a yɛde mo hoahoa yɛn ho no nyɛ nsɛnkeka kwa. Na sɛnea mekae no, mubesiesie mo ho aboa.
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.
Sɛ anyɛ saa na sɛ nnipa no ne me fi Makedonia ba behu sɛ munsiesiee mo ho a yɛn anim begu ase. Mo nso mo anim begu ase bi sɛ mudii yɛn nhuammɔ.
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.
Enti midwen ho huu sɛ eye sɛ anuanom bi di mʼanim kan kɔhwehwɛ akyɛde a mohyɛɛ me ho bɔ no gu hɔ. Ɛba saa a, bere a medu hɔ no na ɛwɔ hɔ na ama adi adanse sɛ mo na momae, efisɛ na mopɛ sɛ moma nti, na mmom, ɛnyɛ sɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ moma.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Monkae saa asɛm yi: Onipa a ogu aba kakraa bi no, betwa so kakraa bi, na nea ogu aba bebree no, betwa so bebree.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Mo mu biara mma sɛnea wadwene ho no, a ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔyaw anaa ɔhyɛ mu, efisɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ obi a ɔde anigye ma akyɛde no asɛm.
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.
Na Onyankopɔn betumi ama wo aboro nea ɛho hia wo no so; enti daa na wowɔ nea ɛho hia wo, na wubenya bi nso adi dwuma foforo a ɛfata sɛ wudi.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se “Ofi ne koma mu ma ahiafo nea wohia; nʼadɔe no tena hɔ daa.” (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 Onyankopɔn a ɔma ogufo no aba ne brodo sɛ aduan di no bɛma wo nso aba a ehia wo nyinaa na wahwɛ so ama anyin na wʼadɔe no nti, asow bebree.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
Daa ɔbɛhwɛ ma woanya wo ho na woayɛ adɔe, na ɛnam so ama dodow no ara ada Onyankopɔn ase wɔ akyɛde a yenya fi mo nkyɛn no ho.
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,
Saa adɔe a moyɛ yi, monnyɛ mma Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo nko, na mmom, anam so ama nnipa bebree ada Onyankopɔn ase.
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,
Esiane dwuma a moadi de adi mo ho adanse pa no nti, nnipa gyina nokware a moadi wɔ Kristo asɛnka no ne mo adɔe a moyɛ maa obiara no so bɛkamfo Onyankopɔn.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Enti wɔde ɔdɔ bɛbɔ mpae ama mo, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ama mo adom a ɛboro so.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Yɛda Onyankopɔn ase wɔ nʼakyɛde a enni kabea no ho.
