¹?ef wayen yeɛnan lemɛawna n watmaten, fiḥel ma uriɣ awen-d.

¹For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.

²?riɣ acḥal tebɣam aț țqedcem, daymi i țzuxxuɣ yis-wen zdat n tejmuyaɛ n Masidunya qqaṛeɣ asen : atmaten n tmurt n Akaya heggan iman-nsen ad ɛiwnen seg useggas iɛeddan. ?ẓwaṛa-nwen di leqdic tessaki aṭas deg-sen.

²For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].

³Ceggɛeɣ atmaten-agi iwakken ad iban belli ț-țideț, tuklalem a nzux yis-wen yerna theggam iman-nwen am akken i t-id-nniɣ.

³But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;

⁴Ma yella ddan yid-i kra seg watmaten n Masidunya ilaq a kkun-in-afen theggam iman nwen iwakken zzux-nni i țzuxxuɣ yis wen ur iyi-țțuɣal ara d lḥecma, bɣiɣ a d-iniɣ d lḥecma nwen kunwi !

⁴lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, *we*, that we say not *ye*, may be put to shame in this confidence.

⁵?ef ddemma n wannect-agi i wen-ceggɛeɣ kra seg watmaten a n-zwiren ɣuṛ-wen iwakken a d jemɛen ssadaqa-nni i ɣ-tweɛdem. S wakka m'ara n-awḍeɣ ad afeɣ theggam kullec yerna a d-iban belli ayen i tseddqem tefkam-t-id seg ul, ur kkun-iḥettem yiwen.

⁵I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

⁶Ilaq aț-țeẓrem belli win i gzerɛen cwiṭ a d-imger cwiṭ ; ma d win izerɛen aṭas, a d-imger aṭas.

⁶But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:

⁷Mkul yiwen ilaq ad iseddeq akken yenwa deg ul-is, mačči s uḥettem neɣ s nndama axaṭer Sidi Ṛebbi iḥemmel win ițseddiqen s lfeṛḥ.

⁷each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

⁸Sidi Ṛebbi yesɛa tazmert a kkun id yeṛzeq s lbaṛakat n mkul ṣṣenf, ur kkun-ițxaṣṣa wacemma deg wayen akk teḥwaǧem yerna aț-țesɛum s zzyada iwakken aț-țizmirem aț-țseddqem.

⁸But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:

⁹Axaṭer yura di tira iqedsen : Yețțak-ed lbaṛakat-is mbla cceḥḥa, irẓeq-ed imeɣban, ṛ ṛeḥma-ines tețdumu i dayem .

⁹according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever.

¹⁰ Win i d-yețțaken i ufellaḥ zzerriɛa akk-d weɣṛum ara yečč , a wen-d-yefk ula i kunwi s lketṛa yerna ad issefti lbaṛakat n wayen tețseddiqem .

¹⁰Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

¹¹Sidi Ṛebbi ad issefti leṛzaq-nwen, s wakka aț-țizmirem aț-țseddqem mbla cceḥḥa ; imiren aṭas ara iḥemden Sidi Ṛebbi a t-cekkṛen ɣef wayen i sen-tseddqem.

¹¹enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

¹²Axaṭer ssadaqa-agi, ur tețțili ara kan d lemɛawna i watmaten, lameɛna iwakken a d-ilin daɣen waṭas n yemdanen ara iḥemden Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹²Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;

¹³Imi i d-tbeggnem belli tqeddcem ɣef lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n Lmasiḥ yerna tfeṛṛqem ayen akk tesɛam akk-d watmaten nniḍen, țḥemmiden Sidi Ṛebbi țcekkiṛen-t ɣef liman d ṭṭaɛa nwen.

¹³they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;

¹⁴Deɛɛun ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi fell-awen ɣef ddemma n ṛṛeḥma tameqqrant i wen-ițțunefken s ɣuṛ-es, axaṭer ḥemmlen-kkun.

¹⁴and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you.

¹⁵Ad ițțubarek Sidi Ṛebbi ɣef ṛṛeḥma-ines ur nesɛi lemtel !

¹⁵Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.
