2 Kawrin 8
1 Manuca rhoek nangmih taengla ka phoe uh coeng. Pathen kah lungvatnah he Makedonia hlangboel rhoek taengah a paek coeng.
Moreover we make known unto you, brethren, the favour of God which hath been given in the assemblies 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 testing of tribulation, the superabounding of their joy and their deep destitution, superabounded unto the riches of their liberality;
3 Te dongah amih kah thaomnah vanbangla amih kah thaomnah neh voelh ka oep.
That, according to power, I bear witness, and beyond power, of their own accord, [they acted], —
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, entreating of us the favour and the fellowship of the ministry which was for the saints; —
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, not merely as we hoped, but, themselves, gave they, first, unto the Lord and unto us through God’s will,
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.
To the end we should exhort Titus, in order that, according as he before made a beginning, so, he should also complete unto you this favour 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, just as, in everything, ye superabound, —in faith, and discourse, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in the love among you which proceedeth from us, in order that, in this favour also, ye would superabound.
8 Olpaek neh kam voek moenih. Tedae a tloe kah thahluenah lamloh nangmih kah lungnah te khaw hmantang aha soepsoei coeng.
Not by way of injunction, do I speak, but through, others’, earnestness, and, the genuineness of your own love, putting to the test.
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 are taking knowledge of the favour of our Lord Jesus [Christ], —how that, for your sakes, he became destitute—although he was, rich, in order that, ye, by his destitution, might be enriched.
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, a judgment, herein, do I give, —for, this, unto you, is profitable, —who, indeed, not only of the doing, but of the desiring, made for yourselves a beginning a year ago; —
11 Tedae bisaii te khaw coeng uh laeh. Te dongah khalanah loh a ngaih van bangla na khueh te khap van tangloeng laeh.
Howbeit, now, the doing also, complete ye, in order that, even according to the forwardness of the desiring, so, may be the completing—out of what ye have.
12 Khalanah loh a tawn uh atah aka om pawt rhi ah pawt tih aka khueh dongah te a uem.
For, if the forwardness is set forth, according to what one may have, he is well approved, not according to what one hath not.
13 A tloe tah hilhoemnah tih nangmih te phacip phabaem paek ham om pawh.
For, not that unto others should be relief, and unto you distress [do I speak], but, by equality, in the present season, your surplus for their deficiency, —
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.
In order that their surplus may come to be for your deficiency: that there may come about an equality: —
15 A daek tangtae vanbangla muep aka yet long khaw kum pawt tih aka yool long khaw a daeng moenih.
Even as it is written—He that [gathered] the much, had not more than enough, and, he that [gathered] the little, had not less,
16 Tedae Pathen taengkah lungvatnah loh Titu thinko ah nangmih ham thahluenah te a paek.
Thanks, however, unto God!—who is putting the same earnestness in your behalf in the heart of Titus,
17 Thaphohnah te hlaehlae a doe rhep dongah ni nangmih taengah rhoeng rhoeng ha om tih a pongpa van.
In that, though, indeed, the exhortation, he welcomed; yet already being, greatly in earnest, of his own accord, hath he gone forth unto you.
18 Hlangboel boeih te olthangthen dongah thangthennah neh puei ham ni manuca Titu amah te kan tueih uh.
Howbeit, we also set forward, with him, the brother, whose praise in the Glad Tidings, [hath gone] through all the assemblies: —
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.
Not only so, however, but he hath also been appointed by the assemblies, as a fellow-traveler with us in this favour, which is being ministered by us with a view to the Lord’s glory and our earnest desire: —
20 He mah he rhael uh. Kothoh dongah kaimih loh ka boelrhai uh he pakhat long khaw kaimih n'cawt ve.
Arranging this—lest anyone, upon us, should cast blame, in this munificence which is being ministered by us;
21 Boeipa hmai bueng ah pawt tih hlang rhoek hmaiah khaw a then ham ni kho ka khan uh.
For we provide things honourable, not only before [the] Lord, but also before 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.
Moreover we have set forward, with them, our brother whom we have proved, in many things, ofttimes, earnest, —but, now, much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence [which he hath] towards 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 as regardeth Titus, he is a partner of mine, and, towards you, a fellow-worker. or our brethren, apostles of assemblies, and Christ’s glory.
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.
The proof of your love, therefore, and of our boasting in your behalf, shew ye, unto them, in the face of the assemblies.
