2 Korint 9
1 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.
For as touching the ministring to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write vnto you.
2 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.
For I knowe your readinesse of minde, whereof I boast my selfe of you vnto them of Macedonia, and say, that Achaia was prepared a yeere agoe, and your zeale hath prouoked many.
3 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.
Nowe haue I sent the brethren, lest our reioycing ouer you shoulde bee in vaine in this behalfe, that yee (as I haue sayde) be readie:
4 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!
Lest if they of Macedonia come with me, and finde you vnprepared, we (that wee may not say, you) should be ashamed in this my constant boasting.
5 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.
Wherefore, I thought it necessarie to exhort the brethren to come before vnto you, and to finish your beneuolence appointed afore, that it might be readie, and come as of beneuolence, and not as of niggardlinesse.
6 Chonje sa byen: Moun ki simen ti kras va rekòlte ti kras. Moun ki simen anpil va rekòlte anpil.
This yet remember, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reape also sparingly, and hee that soweth liberally, shall reape also liberally.
7 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.
As euery man wisheth in his heart, so let him giue, not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer.
8 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.
And God is able to make all grace to abound towarde you, that yee alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all thinges, may abounde in euery good worke,
9 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)
(As it is written, He hath sparsed abroad and hath giuen to the poore: his beneuolence remayneth for euer. (aiōn g165)
10 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.
Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence, )
11 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.
That on all partes yee may bee made rich vnto all liberalitie, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing vnto God.
12 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.
For the ministration of this seruice not onely supplieth the necessities of the Saintes, but also aboundantly causeth many to giue thankes to God,
13 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.
(Which by the experiment of this ministration praise God for your voluntarie submission to the Gospell of Christ, and for your liberall distribution to them, and to all men)
14 Y'a lapriyè pou nou, y'a renmen nou anpil akòz gwo favè sa a Bondye fè pou nou.
And in their praier for you, to log after you greatly, for the aboundant grace of God in you.
15 Ann di Bondye mèsi pou gwo kado sa a li ban nou, yon kado ki pa gen parèy li!
Thankes therefore bee vnto God for his vnspeakeable gift.
