II Corinthians 9

For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

Fa ny amin'ny fiantrana ho an'ny olona masina, dia tsy misy tokony hanoratako aminareo;

For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.

fa fantatro ny fahazotoanareo, izay ataoko rehareha ny aminareo amin'ny Makedoniana hoe : Efa vonona hatry ny taon-itsy Akaia, ary ny zotom-ponareo dia namporisika ny maro.

Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:

Kanefa naniraka ireo rahalahy ireo ihany aho, fandrao dia ho foana ny reharehanay ny aminareo amin'izany zavatra izany, mba ho vonona ianareo araka izay nolazaiko,

Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.

fandrao, raha tàhiny hisy hiaraka amiko ny avy eto Makedonia ka hahita anareo tsy mbola vonona, dia ho menatra izahay (mba tsy hanaovanay hoe, ianareo) noho izany fahatokiana izany.

Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

Koa nataoko fa tsy maintsy mangataka ny rahalahy handeha hialoha ho any aminareo aho ka hahavita rahateo ny fiantranareo izay nokasainareo teo aloha, mba hovitaina toy ny fiantrana izany, fa tsy toy ny fahihirana.

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

Fa izao no lazaiko: Izay mamafy kely, dia kely no hojinjany; fa izay mamafy be, dia be kosa no hojinjany.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Aoka ny olona rehetra samy hanao araka izay inian'ny fony avy, tsy amin'ny alahelo, na amin'ny faneriterena; fa ny mpanome amin'ny fifaliana no tian'Andriamanitra (Oha. 22. 8, LXX.).

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Ary Andriamanitra mahay mampitombo ny fahasoavana rehetra aminareo, mba hanananareo ny onony rehetra mandrakariva amin'ny zavatra rehetra, ka hitombo amin'ny asa tsara rehetra;

(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

araka ny voasoratra hoe: Namafy izy, eny, nanome ho an'ny malahelo; Ny fahamarinany maharitra mandrakizay (Sal. 112. 9).

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

Ary Izay manome voa ho an'ny mpamafy sy mofo hohanina dia hanome sy hahabe ny voa afafinareo ary hampitombo ny vokatry ny fahamarinanareo,

Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

dia hanan-karena amin'ny zavatra rehetra ianareo ka handroso amin'ny hitsim-po,izay mahatonga ny fisaoranay an'Andriamanitra.

For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

Fa ny fanaovana izany fanompoam-pivavahana izany dia tsy mahafaka ny alahelon'ny olona masina ihany, fa mahabe ny fisaoran'ny maro an'Andriamanitra koa,

Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

satria ny fizahan-toetra anareo amin'izany fanompoana izany no ankalazany an'Andriamanitra noho ny fitananareo tsara ny fanekenareo ny filazantsaran'i Kristy sy noho ny fahazotoanareo amin'ny fiantrana ho azy sy ho an'ny olona rehetra;

And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

ary amin'ny fangatahany ho anareo dia manina anareo izy noho ny haben'ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra aminareo.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Isaorana anie Andriamanitra noho ny fanomezany tsy azo tononina.
