< 2 Corinthians 9 >
1 Now about the service to the saints, there is no need for me to write to you.
Hlangcim taengkah bitat dongah nangmih ham kan daek he kai ham taha puehdaih la om.
2 For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.
Nangmih kah khalanah te ka ming dongah Akhaia loh kumbuet lamkah a tawn uh te nangmih yueng la Makedonia rhoek taengah ka pomsang puei. Te vaengah nangmih kah kohlopnah loh muep a cahawh coeng.
3 But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
Manuca rhoek te kan tueih coeng. Te daengah ni kaimih kah thangpomnah tah nangmih yueng la a cungvang nen khaw a tlongtlai pawt eh. Te dongah ka thui bangla aka tawn uh la om uh.
4 Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—to say nothing of you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.
Makedonia rhoek tah kai taengah ha pawk uh mai khaming. Te vaengah nangmih te buengrhuet m'hmuh uh vetih mamih loh yah m'pok uh pawt nim. Te dongah ni he ngaikhueknah neh nangmih kam voek uh pawh.
5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the bountiful gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.
Te dongah manuca rhoek te hloep ham ka poek tangkik. Nangmih taengla ha lamhma uh vetih nangmih kah yoethennah olkhueh te a soepsoei uh mako. Te te halhkanah lam pawt tih yoethennah te sikim la om tangloeng saeh.
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
Te dongah seih seih aka tuh loh seih seih a ah van vetih, yoethennah dongah aka tuh loh yoethennah te a ah van ni.
7 Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.
Hlang boeih loh a thinko ah a hmoel bangla pae saeh. Kothaenah neh kueknah lam moenih. Omngaih cangtloeng la aka pae-hlang ni Pathen loh a lungnah.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
Pathen loh nangmih ham lungvatnah cungkuem tea baecoih sak thai. Te daengah ni rhoepsaep dongah rhaemhalnah aka khueh boeih loh bibi then neha cungkuem la na baetawt uh eh.
9 As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” (aiōn )
A daek bangla, a thaek te daengtloel taengla a paek tih a duengnah loh kumhal duela naeh van. (aiōn )
10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Aka tuh ham cangtii aka thap pah loh caak ham buh khaw a koei pah ni. Te vaengah nangmih kah cangtii te ping vetih na duengnah thaihtae khaw rhoeng ni.
11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, so that through us your giving will produce thanksgiving to God.
Moeihoeihnah cungkuem ham tah rhoepsaep dongah boei coeng. Te long te mamih ah Pathen taengkah uemonah a thoeng sak.
12 For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
A thothueng dongkah bitat tah hlangcim rhoek kah vawtthoeknah te aka doo pah bueng laa om moenih. Tedae Pathen taengkah uemonah lamloh muep a baetawt sak van.
13 Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.
Tahae kah bitat dongkah khinngainah lamloh Khrih olthangthen dongah na olphoei dongkah boengainah neh, amih ham neh hlang boeih ham moeihoeihnah neh doedannah soah Pathen te a thangpom coeng.
14 And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
Nangmih soah Pathen kah lungvatnah a baetawt dongah nangmih yueng la amamih kah rhenbihnah dongah nangmih n'thoel uh.
15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
A kutdoe thuilek thuina pawt dongah Pathen te lungvatnah saeh.
