< 2 Corinthians 9 >

1 Now [I want to write] more about the gift [of money] [EUP] that [you and other believers are preparing to send] to the believers [in Judea province]. I do not [really] need to [continue writing to you about it],
Paske se pa nesesè pou m ta ekri nou sou ministè sa a pou sen yo,
2 because I already know that you really want to help them. In fact, I have been boasting [about you], telling the [believers here in] Macedonia [province] that [you people in] Achaia [province] have been ready to help, since last year. As a result, because you are very eager to help [the believers in Judea province], you have made most of [the believers here in Macedonia province also want] to give [a gift].
paske mwen konnen volonte nou. Pou sa menm, mwen fè nou konpliman devan pèp Macédoine lan, anfèt ke Achaïe te deja prepare depi ane pase, e ke zèl nou te eksite pifò nan yo.
3 However, I am sending Titus and the other two believers in order that [they will be able to help you finish collecting the money. Then when I and others arrive later, the people with me will see for themselves that] the things that I have been boasting about you are true [LIT]. [I want] you [to have your gift] ready [for us(exc) to take to Jerusalem], just like I have been telling others that you were ready.
Men mwen te voye frè yo, pouke konpliman nou an pa ta fèt nan vid nan ka sa a, pouke jan mwen t ap di a, nou kapab byen prepare.
4 When I come, if any of [the believers from] Macedonia come with me, [I do not want them to find that your gift is] [MTY, EUP] not ready. If that were [to happen], I would be very ashamed, and you yourselves would be even more ashamed.
Pou si li pa t fèt, epi nenpòt nan Masedonyen yo ta parèt avè m, nou pa t ap desi (ak ou menm tou) e soufri wont akoz sa ki te anvizaje.
5 So that is why I felt that it was necessary to urge these [three] believers to go [and visit] you before I [come. In that way, they would be able to help you finish] collecting the generous gift [EUP] that had been promised by you {you had said you would give}. [If you do that, not only will] the gift be ready [by the time that we arrive, but everyone will see that you have given because you really want to give, and] not because anyone has forced you to give.
Donk, mwen te panse ke li te nesesè pou ankouraje frè yo pou yo ta ale devan nou menm pou òganize davans kado jenewozite ke nou te deja pwomèt la. Epi konsa, kado sa a ta kapab parèt kon yon kado jenewozite ki pa afekte pa lanvi de nou menm.
6 Do not forget this: “[A farmer] who sows only a few [seeds] will not gather/reap a large [harvest], but the one who sows a lot [of seeds] will gather/reap a large [harvest] [MET].” [Similarly, if you give just a little to help others, God will give you only a few blessings. But if you give willingly and cheerfully to help people, you will receive in return many blessings from God].
Sonje, sila a ki simen tikal va rekòlte tikal. Men sila a ki simen an abondans va rekòlte an abondans.
7 Each of you should decide how much you [(sg)] should give, [and then give that amount]. You [(sg)] should not [be thinking to yourself], “[I really] do not want to give this money.” [And you(sg) should] not give [just] because someone tells [you to give. Instead, you should give willingly and cheerfully], because God loves those who give cheerfully.
Chak moun dwe fè jis jan ke li te rezone nan kè l, pa avèk regrè oubyen anba presyon, paske Bondye renmen yon moun ki bay avèk jwa.
8 Moreover, God can enable you to [give to others cheerfully. If you give that way], God will [in return] give you many good blessings. He will do that so that at all times you will always have everything that you need. Indeed, you will have even more [than you need. As a result, you will be able to do] many more good things [to help others].
Epi Bondye kapab fè tout gras vin an kantite a nou menm, pou nou toujou gen kont nou nan tout bagay, pou nou kapab gen osi yon abondans nan tout bon zèv.
9 [Those who give willingly and cheerfully will be rewarded like the man about whom] it is written {[about whom] (someone/the Psalmist) wrote} in the Scriptures, He generously [helps others], [he gives to those] who are poor. [God will remember] the good things that he did, [and reward him with] good things forever. (aiōn g165)
Jan sa ekri a: “Li te gaye toupatou. Li te bay a malere yo. Ladwati Li ap rete jis pou tout tan.” (aiōn g165)
10 [God always] gives seeds to farmers to plant, and also gives them food to eat. [So, similarly, God will] always make it possible for you to have enough money [MET], so that you will be able more and more to generously [help those who are needy].
Koulye a Li menm ki founi semans pou sila k ap simen an avèk pen pou l manje, va founi e miltipliye semans nou an pou simen e ogmante rekòlt ladwati nou an.
11 [God] will [give you] many blessings in many different ways as a result of your generously [helping others]. Furthermore, [the] generous [gift that you are getting ready for] us [(exc) to take to the believers in Judea province] will cause [many people] to thank God.
Pou konsa, nou ka anrichi nan tout bagay ak tout jenewozite, ki atravè nou, ap pwodwi remèsiman a Bondye.
12 [Also remember that] when you give money to [EUP] help God’s people, you not only give them what they need, but also, [because of that], [many people will] thank God very much [for you and for what you have done].
Paske ministè sèvis don sa a se pa sèlman pou byen founi bezwen a sen yo, men va osi pou debòde atravè anpil remèsiman a Bondye.
13 As a result of your giving [money to help others], they will praise God, not only because you have believed the good message about Christ, but also because you have [generously given some of your possessions] so that they and other [believers will all have] ([enough/their needs supplied]).
Akoz de prèv ki te bay pa ministè sèvis sila a, yo va bay Bondye glwa pou obeyisans konfesyon levanjil a Kris la, ak jenewozite don pa nou pou yo menm, ak tout lòt yo.
14 Also, when they pray for you, [asking God to bless you, they will remember how grateful they are] [IDM] that God [caused you to give] very willingly and cheerfully.
Pandan yo menm osi, nan lapriyè pou nou, y ap gen dezi wè nou akoz ke gras Bondye ki anndan nou an ki depase tout bagay.
15 [Finally, we should all] thank God [because he gave us the greatest gift of all when he sent his Son to save/rescue us(inc)] ([from the guilt of our sin/from being punished for our sin]). That is a gift too wonderful for anyone to be able to tell about completely!
Remèsiman a Bondye pou don Li ki depase tout sa ki kapab eksprime.
