2 Ukorintiyawa 9
1 Ubeleng katwa nanan yinu sauyen, ucon men yertin minu mu.
With reference, indeed, to the fund for your fellow Christians, it is quite superfluous for me to say anything to you.
2 Men yiru imong ele na idini sua ilena idin fuo figirimun nait Makidoniy. In wa belin nanin Achaia na chizin uke litimine uworu loni likus. Akara mine na zunlung anit gbardangnsuu katwa.
I know, of course, your willingness to help, and I am always boasting of it to the Macedonians. I tell them that you in Greece have been ready for a year past; and it was really your zeal that stimulated most of them.
3 Nene ina malin tuu nwana bara ufoo figiri bite wa uhem, bara ina ke nidowo mine inson caa, nafo na ina belin ima yitu.
So my reason for sending our friends is to prevent what we said about you from proving, in this particular matter, an empty boast, and to enable you to be as well prepared as I have been saying that you are.
4 Asa na nain ba andi umong unu Makadoniya daa nin mi anin se naa isa kele atibit ba ima yitii imong chin Na ima benlu uliru kitene mine b, bara na idumi nayi akone kiti mine.
Otherwise, if any Macedonians were to come with me, and find you unprepared, we – to say nothing of you – should feel ashamed of our present confidence.
5 Mang wa su sa uba caunari i belin nwana idak kiti mine idi kee bara imon ile na iwa ti likawali inan yita kiti kirun nafo imon nfilzinu nin kibinai kirum na nafo ita minu ine sa ayi mine ba.
Therefore I think it necessary to beg the friends to go to you in advance, and to complete the arrangements for the gift, which you have already promised, so that it may be ready, as a gift, before I come, and not look as if it were being given under pressure.
6 re ulele, ule n, abilsa nin timong ama pitiru nin timong gbarda, ama kuru apituru gbardang.
Remember the saying – “Scanty sowing, scanty harvest; plentiful sowing, plentiful harvest.”
7 Na kogha ni ilemong na a yina nin kibinai m. Na awa ni nin kibinai bibit b, Bara Kutelle diin suu naale na ima ni nin kibinai ki boo
Let everyone give as he has determined before hand, not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 Kutelle mati mmari ti gbardan kiti f, bara vat kub, nanya nimon ile na udunin suwa una kpimu nanya katwa ka cine.
God has power to shower all kinds of blessings on you, so that, having, under all circumstances and on all occasions, all that you can need, you may be able to shower all kinds of benefits on others.
(As scripture says – “He shared freely, he gave to the poor; his righteousness continues for ever.” (aiōn g165)
10 Ule na adin nizu imus kiti nan tibila nin ni monli. ama kuru ani minu imus in ti bil. Amini ma ni minu kusa na ku lau.
And he who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, will supply you with seed, and cause it to increase, and will multiply the fruits of your righteousness).
11 yitu nin se kan nanya tibau vat, bara unang yita washala kang, nanin ma timinu ida zazin Kutelle unuzu bite.
Rich in all things yourselves, you will be able to show liberality to all, which, with our help, will cause thanksgiving to be offered to God.
12 Bara uyiru katwa kane, na uzursuari cas ba nin nimung suu nanayinu sa uyenu. Tutun nani ima kpinu katwa zazunu Kutelle.
For the rendering of a public service such as this, not only relieves the needs of your fellow Christians, but also results in the offering to God of many a thanksgiving.
13 Bara ina malin yainnu nanya katwa kane ina mali yti Kutelle gongon nanya ntoltimu nati nbucu mine katwa nanya Krist, nin washalang mine udu kiti mine vat.
Through the evidence afforded by the service rendered, you cause people to praise God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the good news of the Christ, as well as for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all others.
14 Idinin su mine kan, inani din su minu nlira bara anigh, idin suu nanin baraq ubolu mikan Kutelle na mi di kitimine.
And they also, in their prayers for you, express their longing to see you, because of the surpassing love of God displayed toward you.
15 Ugodo uduua kiti Kutelle n bara ufilu me midiya
All thanks to God for his inestimable gift!
