| 1 | Il est superflu que je vous écrive touchant l'assistance destinée aux saints. | For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: | For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: | Riguardo poi alla sovvenzione a favore dei santi, mi è superfluo scrivervi, |
| 2 | Je connais, en effet, votre bonne volonté, dont je me glorifie pour vous auprès des Macédoniens, en déclarant que l'Achaïe est prête depuis l'année dernière ; et ce zèle de votre part a stimulé le plus grand nombre. | 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. | for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them. | poiché conosco la prontezza dell'animo vostro, per la quale mi glorio di voi presso i Macedoni, dicendo che l'Acaia è pronta fin dall'anno scorso; e lo zelo da parte vostra ne ha stimolati molti. |
| 3 | J'envoie les frères, afin que l'éloge que nous avons fait de vous ne soit pas réduit à néant sur ce point-là, et que vous soyez prêts, comme je l'ai dit. | 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: | But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared: | Or ho mandato questi fratelli, perché il nostro vanto per voi non risulti vano a questo riguardo affinché, come dicevo, siate pronti, |
| 4 | Je ne voudrais pas, si les Macédoniens m'accompagnent et ne vous trouvent pas prêts, que cette assurance tournât à notre confusion, pour ne pas dire à la vôtre. | 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. | lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence. | perché, se dovessero venire con me dei Macedoni e vi trovassero impreparati, noi (per non dire voi) saremmo svergognati in questa nostra ferma fiducia e vanto. |
| 5 | J'ai donc jugé nécessaire d'inviter les frères à se rendre auparavant chez vous, et à s'occuper de votre libéralité déjà promise, afin qu'elle soit prête, de manière à être une libéralité, et non un acte d'avarice. | 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. | I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion. | Perciò ho ritenuto necessario esortare i fratelli di venire da voi prima del tempo, per far preparare in anticipo la vostra offerta precedentemente promessa perché essa sia pronta come dono di generosità e non di avarizia. |
| 6 | Sachez-le, celui qui sème peu moissonnera peu, et celui qui sème abondamment moissonnera abondamment. | But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. | But this [I say,] He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. | Or questo dico: Chi semina scarsamente mieterà altresì scarsamente; e chi semina generosamente mieterà altresì abbondantemente. |
| 7 | Que chacun donne comme il l'a résolu en son coeur, sans tristesse ni contrainte ; car Dieu aime celui qui donne avec joie. | Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. | [Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. | Ciascuno faccia come ha deliberato nel suo cuore, non di malavoglia né per forza, perché Dio ama un donatore allegro. |
| 8 | Et Dieu peut vous combler de toutes sortes de grâces, afin que, possédant toujours en toutes choses de quoi satisfaire à tous vos besoins, vous ayez encore en abondance pour toute bonne oeuvre, | 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: | And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: | Ora Dio è potente di fare abbondare in voi ogni grazia affinché, avendo sempre il sufficiente in ogni cosa, voi abbondiate per ogni buona opera, |
| 9 | selon qu'il est écrit : Il a fait des largesses, il a donné aux indigents ; Sa justice subsiste à jamais. | (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. | as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. | come sta scritto: Egli ha sparso, egli ha dato ai poveri, la sua giustizia dura in eterno. |
| 10 | Celui qui Fournit de la semence au semeur, Et du pain pour sa nourriture, vous fournira et vous multipliera la semence, et il augmentera les fruits de votre justice. | 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;) | And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: | Or colui che fornisce la semente al seminatore e il pane da mangiare, ve ne provveda e moltiplichi pure la vostra semente, ed accresca i frutti della vostra giustizia; |
| 11 | Vous serez de la sorte enrichis à tous égards pour toute espèce de libéralités qui, par notre moyen, feront offrir à Dieu des actions de grâces. | Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. | ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. | allora sarete arricchiti per ogni liberalità, che per nostro mezzo produrrà rendimento di grazie a Dio. |
| 12 | Car le secours de cette assistance non seulement pourvoit aux besoins des saints, mais il est encore une source abondante de nombreuses actions de grâces envers Dieu. | For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; | For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God; | Poiché l'adempimento di questo servizio sacro non solo supplisce alle necessità dei santi, ma produce anche abbondanza di ringraziamenti verso Dio, |
| 13 | En considération de ce secours dont ils font l'expérience, ils glorifient Dieu de votre obéissance dans la profession de l'Évangile de Christ, et de la libéralité de vos dons envers eux et envers tous ; | 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; | seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all; | perché, a causa della prova di questa sovvenzione, essi glorificano Dio per l'ubbidienza all'evangelo di Cristo, che voi confessate, e per la liberalità con cui ne fate parte a loro e a tutti. |
| 14 | ils prient pour vous, parce qu'ils vous aiment à cause de la grâce éminente que Dieu vous a faite. | And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. | while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you. | E con le loro preghiere per voi vi dimostrano singolare affezione per l'eccellente grazia di Dio sopra di voi. |
| 15 | Grâces soient rendues à Dieu pour son don ineffable ! | Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. | Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. | Or sia ringraziato Dio per il suo dono ineffabile. |
