2 Corinthians 9
1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the holy ones,
Mwen pa wè rezòn pou m' voye di nou anyen sou keksyon sekou n'ap voye bay manm pèp Bondye ki nan peyi Jide a.
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.
Mwen konnen jan nou vle ede, mwen pa t' manke kontan pale byen pou nou ak moun Masedwan yo lè m' te di yo: Depi lanne pase anwo, frè ki nan peyi Lakayi yo pare pou ede. Se konsa lanpresman nou pou bay te eksite anpil ladan yo bay tou.
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,
Malgre sa, m'ap voye frè sa yo bò kote nou pou bèl pawòl mwen te di pou nou sou zafè sekou sa a pa pase pou manti. Mwen ta renmen wè nou pare vre, jan mwen te di l' la.
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.
Ala wont mwen ta wont si, pou lè moun peyi Masedwan yo ta vin ansanm avè m', yo ta jwenn nou pa pare! Jan m' te konte sou nou sa! Mwen pa bezwen pale jan nou menm tou nou ta wont!
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.
Se sak fè, mwen kwè se te nesesè pou m' te mande frè sa yo pou y' al lakay nou anvan mwen, pou nou ka pare kado nou te pwòmèt nou t'ap bay la. Konsa, lè m'a rive mwen menm, kado a va tou pare. Lè sa a, moun yo va wè nou bay paske nou vle, pa paske yo fòse nou.
6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Chonje sa byen: Moun ki simen ti kras va rekòlte ti kras. Moun ki simen anpil va rekòlte anpil.
7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Se pou chak moun bay jan yo te deside nan kè yo, san yo pa règrèt anyen, san moun pa bezwen fòse yo, paske Bondye renmen moun ki bay ak kè kontan.
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.
Bondye menm gen pouvwa pou l' ban nou tout kalite benediksyon an kantite. Li fè sa, pa sèlman pou nou ka toujou genyen tou sa nou bezwen, men pou nou ka gen rès ki rete pou n' fè tout kalite bon zèv.
9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)
Se sa menm ki ekri nan Liv la: Li bay moun ki nan nesesite yo san gad dèyè. L'ap toujou gen kè nan men. (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,
Bondye ki bay moun k'ap simen an grenn pou l' simen ak pen pou l' manje, l'a ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou simen. L'a fè l' pouse pou nou, pou nou ka fè yon bèl rekòt lè nou bay an kantite konsa.
11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.
Bondye ap toujou fè nou rich ase pou nou ka toujou bay ak tout kè nou. Konsa, anpil moun va di Bondye mèsi pou kado n'a ban mwen pou yo.
12 For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack amongst the holy ones, but abounds also through much giving of thanks to God,
Se pou nou konn sa byen: sèvis n'ap rann lè nou bay lajan sa a, se pa sèlman pou bay moun pèp Bondye sa yo bezwen. Men, akòz sèvis sa a, anpil moun pral lapriyè Bondye pou di l' mèsi.
13 seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Messiah and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,
Sèvis sa a ap fè yo wè ki kalite moun nou ye. Yo pral fè lwanj Bondye, paske sekou sa a pral fè yo wè jan nou soumèt, jan nou kwè nan bon nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la. Y'a fè lwanj Bondye tou pou jan nou separe byen nou yo ak yo ansanm ak tout lòt yo.
14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Y'a lapriyè pou nou, y'a renmen nou anpil akòz gwo favè sa a Bondye fè pou nou.
15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Ann di Bondye mèsi pou gwo kado sa a li ban nou, yon kado ki pa gen parèy li!
