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],

A DUEN dodok on me jaraui kan, i jolar pan intin won komail.

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].

Pwe i aja, me omail inon ion me mau, me i kin juaiki on men Majetonien, me men Akaia inon ion mepukat jan ni par jamalar, a komail kainon ion me toto.

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.

I ap ilakiawei ri atail akan, pwe at kapin pa omail ender mal la ni mepukat, pwe komail en onop duen me i inda.

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.

Pwe ma men Majetonien kai pan ian ia, ap konodi komail ni omail jo onop, kit, je jota men inda komail, ap pan natnenok kila ni at liki wet.

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.

Ari, i ap lamedar, en poeki ren ri atail akan, ren tion mo at kolan komail, pwen kaonopada pai wet, me komail inaukidar maj o, pwen pai melel eu, a iermen norok jued.

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].

A iet me i inda: Me kin kamorok tikitik, pan dolun tikitik, a me kin kamorok toto, pan dolun me toto.

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.

Amen amen duen a kileledier nan monion i; der kija kol, de akpatik, pwe Kot kotin pok on me kin pein perenki kijakij.

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].

A Kot me kotin manaman on en kalaudelan komail jon en mak kan karoj, pwe komail en kapwapwa ni jon karoj o anjau karoj, ap kak on jon en wiawia mau karoj,

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)

Duen a intinidier: A kamoredier, a kijakij a wei on me jamamakan; a pun pan mimieta kokolata. (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].

A me kin kotiki on jaumat kijin war akan, o prot men mana, a pan katotoela omail war akan, o a pan kotin kawojada omail wan pun kan,

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.

Pwe komail en kapwapwala ni jon karoj, pwen wiawia mau karoj, me kin karedan kit, en danke Kot.

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].

Pwe wiawia pan dodok wet kaidin jauaj pan jaraui kan ta, pwe me toto kin danke Kot.

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]).

Arail kapwaiada dodok wet kin kalinanada Kot pweki omail upai on kadede en ronamau en Krijtuj, o omail japan kijakij on irail o on karoj,

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.

O ni arail nidinide kin komail, re kin anane komail pweki mak lapalap en Kot on komail.

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!

Daken on Kot pweki a pai lapalap!
