2 Kawrin 8
1 Manuca rhoek nangmih taengla ka phoe uh coeng. Pathen kah lungvatnah he Makedonia hlangboel rhoek taengah a paek coeng.
And, brothers, we declare to you the grace of God that has been given in the congregations of Macedonia,
2 Phacip phabaem kah loepdaknah a tlung rhangneh amih kah omngaihnah dongkah baecoihnah laom. A khodaengnah loh muelh a dung vaengah a moeihoeihnah te khuehtawn la a baecoih pah.
that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy, even from the depth of their poverty, abounded for the wealth of their generosity,
3 Te dongah amih kah thaomnah vanbangla amih kah thaomnah neh voelh ka oep.
so that according to their ability, I testify, and beyond their ability, willingly,
4 Thaphohnah cungkuem dongah lungvatnah neh mamih doedan ham, hlangcim rhoek taengah aka bitat neh doedannah ham rhoeng rhoeng ham bih uh.
with much exhortation, begging of us the favor, even the fellowship of service for the sanctified.
5 Te vaengah ng'ngaiuep bangla om pawt cakhaw Pathen kah kongaih dongah amamih te Boeipa taeng neh mamih taengah lamhma laa paek uh.
And it was not as we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us through the will of God,
6 Mamih loh doedannah phueng la om sak ham Titu te hloep uh. Te daengah ni lungvatnah he khaw nangmih taengah a cung tangloeng eh.
for us to urge Titus that, as he earlier began this kindness, so he would even finish it for you also.
7 Tedae cungkuem dongah na baecoih uh vanbangla tangnah neh olka dongah, mingnah neh thahluenah cungkuem dongah, kaimih lamkah nangmih taengah aka om lungnah dongah khaw baetawt uh lah. Te dongah tahae kah lungvatnah dongah khaw na baetawt uh.
But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, so that ye may also abound in this kindness.
8 Olpaek neh kam voek moenih. Tedae a tloe kah thahluenah lamloh nangmih kah lungnah te khaw hmantang aha soepsoei coeng.
I speak not from commandment, but because of the zeal of others, also examining the genuineness of your love.
9 Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah te na ming uh. Kuirhang la aka om loh a khodaeng te nangmih ham ni. Te daengah ni anih kah khodaeng ming loh nangmih n'khuehtawn sak eh.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich he became poor for your sakes, so that by that man's poverty ye might become rich.
10 He dongah he poeknah khaw kam paek coeng. He tah nangmih ham khaw rhoei coeng. Anih loh a saii bueng pawt tih kumbuet lamloh phueng a ngaih tangtae rhoe ni.
And in this I give judgment, for this is expedient for you who earlier began, from a year ago, not only the doing but also the intending.
11 Tedae bisaii te khaw coeng uh laeh. Te dongah khalanah loh a ngaih van bangla na khueh te khap van tangloeng laeh.
And now also finish the doing, so that just as was the willingness of the intending, so also to finish from the having.
12 Khalanah loh a tawn uh atah aka om pawt rhi ah pawt tih aka khueh dongah te a uem.
For if the willingness is present, it is acceptable to the extent if some man has, not to the extent he does not have.
13 A tloe tah hilhoemnah tih nangmih te phacip phabaem paek ham om pawh.
For it is not so that ease is for others and stress for you, but out of parity your abundance at the present time is for the need of those men.
14 Tedae tahae tue vaengah aka coihphaek nangmih loh te rhoek kah vawtthoeknah dongah vanatnah neh omuh. Te daengah ni aka baecoih rhoek te nangmih kah vawtthoeknah dongah om van vetih vanatnah a om tangloeng eh.
So that the abundance of those men may also happen for your need, so that there may become equity,
15 A daek tangtae vanbangla muep aka yet long khaw kum pawt tih aka yool long khaw a daeng moenih.
as it is written, he of much did not abound, and he of little did not lack.
16 Tedae Pathen taengkah lungvatnah loh Titu thinko ah nangmih ham thahluenah te a paek.
But thanks to God who gives the same eagerness for you in the heart of Titus.
17 Thaphohnah te hlaehlae a doe rhep dongah ni nangmih taengah rhoeng rhoeng ha om tih a pongpa van.
Because he indeed accepted the exhortation, but his own will being more zealous, he went forth to you.
18 Hlangboel boeih te olthangthen dongah thangthennah neh puei ham ni manuca Titu amah te kan tueih uh.
And we sent along with him the brother whose praise in the good news is throughout all the congregations.
19 Te bueng pawt tih lungvatnah dongah mamih kaha hui la hlangboel rhoek loh a coelh. Boeipa kah thangpomnah neh kaimih kah khalanah nen khaw kaimih loh anih te ka bongyong uh.
And not only so, but who was also chosen by the congregations, a traveling companion of us with this gift administered by us, for the glory of the same Lord and our willingness.
20 He mah he rhael uh. Kothoh dongah kaimih loh ka boelrhai uh he pakhat long khaw kaimih n'cawt ve.
Arranging this lest any man may criticize us in this bounty administered by us,
21 Boeipa hmai bueng ah pawt tih hlang rhoek hmaiah khaw a then ham ni kho ka khan uh.
providing things right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22 Amih rhoi khaw mamih kah manuca neh kan puei sak lah ko. Anih te puet ka nuemnai uh khing vaengah kalek kace la om. Nangmih khuiah pangtungnah neh hlaehlae muep om van coeng.
And we sent along with them our brother whom we often proved being diligent in many things, but is now much more diligent (with much confidence toward you)
23 Titu te ka pueipo neh nangmih ham bibipuei ni. Mah manuca neh hlangboel kah caeltueih rhoek long tah Khrih kah thangpomnah la poek uh mai.
whether on behalf of Titus my partner and co-workman for you, or our brothers, apostles of congregations, a glory of Christ.
24 Te dongah nangmih kah lungnah neh, amih taengah nangmih yueng la kaimih kah hoemdamnah te hlangboel kah maelhmai dongah a mingpha la tueng coeng.
Therefore show ye the proof of your love and our boast about you, for them in the face of the congregations.
