2 Corinthians 9

1 It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the holy ones,

Man rajawaxik taj kinnaꞌtaj chiꞌwe ri sipanik ri kiya chike ri tyoxalaj taq winaq.

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.

Rumal cher wetaꞌm ri utz laj iwanimaꞌ. We riꞌ, rukꞌ nimal xintzijoj chike ri keꞌl pa Macedonia, xinbꞌij chike chi ri ix, ri ix aj Acaya junabꞌir imulim kanoq ri isipanik. Ri ibꞌanom ix tobꞌaninaq rech jeriꞌ nikꞌaj chik xkichapleꞌj uyaꞌik ri kisipanik.

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,

Pune jeriꞌ, keꞌntaq bꞌik we alaxik riꞌ, rech man xaq ta tzaqem rij ri nimal ri xqanaꞌo rumal iwe, xane kꞌo ta bꞌanom wi kꞌo chi ri sipanik iwukꞌ, xaq jeriꞌ chibꞌana ri xinbꞌij chiꞌwe kibꞌano.

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.

Rech we kebꞌe jujun chike ri kel waral pa Macedonia, man kꞌa te ta kimulila ri sipanik chikiwach. Uj riꞌ kel qakꞌixibꞌal we jeriꞌ kibꞌano, rech man kaqabꞌij taj chi ix riꞌ ri qas kel ikꞌixibꞌal rumal man ibꞌanom ta apanoq.

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.

Xaq jeriꞌ xinchomaj chi rajawaxik kinta chike ri alaxik chi kakikowij apanoq usukꞌumaxik ri kajawatajik chumulixik we nimalaj sipanik ri itzujum loq. Rech jeriꞌ jun nimalaj sipanik kelik man jun xuꞌyal taj.

6 Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Naꞌtaj we riꞌ chiꞌwe: Ri xa nitzꞌ kutiko, xa nitzꞌ kuyako, are kꞌu ri sibꞌalaj nim kutiko, sibꞌalaj nim kuyak na.

7 Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Rajawaxik chiꞌjujunal kiya ri xichomaj pa iwanimaꞌ uyaꞌik, man rukꞌ ta bꞌis xuqujeꞌ man rumal ta kataqchiꞌx jun, rumal cher ri Dios kuloqꞌaj ri winaq ri kuya usipanik rukꞌ ronojel ranimaꞌ.

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.

Ri Dios kakwinik kuya ronojel toqꞌobꞌ chiꞌwe, rech kayaꞌtaj ronojel ri kajawataj chiꞌwe rech kixkwinik kibꞌan sibꞌalaj kꞌi utz taq chak kukꞌ nikꞌaj chik.

9 As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” (aiōn g165)

Jacha ri kubꞌij ri Tzꞌibꞌatalik: Xujacho ronojel ri uqꞌinomal chike ri mebꞌaibꞌ, ri usukꞌal xjeqiꞌ chibꞌe qꞌij saq. (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,

Ri kayoꞌw ijaꞌ che ri ajtikolobꞌ xuqujeꞌ uwa ri kawaꞌik, Areꞌ kanimarisan ri tikoꞌn xuqujeꞌ kubꞌan chiꞌwe chi kiwachij sukꞌal.

11 you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

Rech kixqꞌinomar pa ronojel ri jastaq rech kixkwinik kiya chike nikꞌaj chik ri kajawatajik, jeriꞌ kujtyoxin uj che ri Dios rumal ri kibꞌano.

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,

We tobꞌanik riꞌ man xwi taj jun tyoxalaj sipanik ri kutoꞌ ri tyoxalaj taq winaq, xane kuya sibꞌalaj kꞌi tyoxinik che ri Dios.

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,

Qas tzij, are kakikꞌamawaꞌj ri alaxik we jun kꞌutbꞌal rech ri ipatanijik, kakiqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios rumal ri inimanik xuqujeꞌ ri utzijoxik ri utz laj taq tzij rech ri Cristo, xuqujeꞌ rumal ri nimalaj itobꞌanik ri xiya chike konojel.

14 while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

Xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌan chꞌawem riꞌ piꞌwiꞌ rumal cher ix kiloqꞌ xuqujeꞌ rumal ri nimalaj toqꞌobꞌ ri ikꞌamawaꞌm ix che ri Dios.

15 Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

Sibꞌalaj tyox che ri Dios rumal ri usipanik ri man kꞌo ta utzij winaq kakwin chusolik rij.
