Quasi nihil habentes omnia possident, qui, terrenis in usum vel opus misericordiæ retentis, cœlestes divitias se quandoque habituros sperant. Gloria apostolorum fuit, nihil omnino possidere, sine sollicitudine esse: et tam res quam dominos earum possidere, quia omnia ad pedes eorum ponebantur.

ὡς λυπούμενοι ἀεὶ δὲ χαίροντες, ὡς πτωχοὶ πολλοὺς δὲ πλουτίζοντες, ὡς μηδὲν ἔχοντες καὶ πάντα κατέχοντες

as /being/_sorrowed always but rejoicing as poor many but making_rich as nothing having and_yet all_‹things› keeping

Here, just as in the previous verse, Paul uses as to introduce what other people think about him and his fellow workers and then yet or but to introduce what is really true about them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that naturally expresses a contrast between what people think and what is actually true. Alternate translation: “considered to be sorrowful, but actually always rejoicing; considered to be poor, but actually making many rich; considered to have nothing, but actually possessing all things”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πολλοὺς & πλουτίζοντες

many & making_rich

Here Paul speaks as if he and his fellow workers made other people rich. He means that he helps people receive blessings from God, including forgiveness and new life, which makes them spiritually rich. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or express the idea in plain language. Alternate translation: “making many spiritually rich” or “enabling many to receive new life, which is like being rich”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

πολλοὺς

many

Paul is using the adjective many as a noun in order to refer many people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this one with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “many others”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντα

all_‹things›

Here Paul could be stating that they possess: (1) all things that Christ possesses. In other words, because Christ rules over everything, Paul and his fellow workers also possess everything. Alternate translation: “all things in Christ” (2) all spiritual blessings, which are the important things. Alternate translation: “all spiritual blessings” or “everything that is really important”
