2 Corinthians 9
1 For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.
A KA hoi, no ka manawalea ana i ka poe haipule, he mea hana wale ka'u ke palapala aku ia oukou.
2 For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians. That Achaia also is ready from the year past, and your emulation hath provoked very many.
No ka mea, ke ike nei au i ka makaukau ana o ko oukou naau, oia ka'u i kaena aku ai no oukou i ko Makedonia, ua makaukau no ko Akaia i keia makahiki mamua; a o ko oukou ikaika ka mea i ikaika ai na mea he nui.
3 Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you, be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready:
Aka, ua hoouna aku au i na hoahanau, o make hewa paha ko makou kaena ana i keia mea no oukou; i makaukau hoi oukou me ka'u i olelo aku ai:
4 Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.
Malia paha o hilahila auanei makou, (aole o oukou hoi ka makou e i aku nei, ) i keia kaena ikaika ana, ke hele pu aku nei ko Makedonia me au, a loaa oukou aole i makaukau.
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.
No ia mea, he pono i kuu manao e noi aku i ua mau hoahanau la e hele e mamua io oukou la e hoomakaukau i ko oukou haawina i olelo e ia mamua, i makaukau ai ua mea la, me he haawina la, aole me he mea ohiia la.
6 Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap blessings.
O keia hoi ka'u, O ka mea lulu Iiilii, e hoiliili liilii no ia; a o ka mea lulu nui, e hoiliili nui no hoi oia;
7 Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
E like me ka manao ana o kela mea keia mea iloko o kona naau, pela ia e haawi aku ai, aole me ka minamina, aole hoi me he mea la i auhauia; no ka mea, ke aloha mai nei no ke Akua i ka mea nana e haawi oluolu aku.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work,
A e hiki no i ke Akua ke hoonui ae i na mea maikai a pau ia oukou; i lako mau oukou i na mea a pau, i mahuahua ka oukou hana maikai ana ma na mea a pau:
9 As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. (aiōn g165)
Me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hooleilei aku la ia, ua haawi aku la ua ka poe ilihune: e mau loa ana kona pono. (aiōn g165)
10 And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:
A o ka mea nana e haawi mai i ka hua na ka mea lulu, a me ka ai e ai ai, e haawi mai no ia, a e hoonui hoi i ka oukou hua i luluia, me ka hoomahuahua i na hua o ko oukou pono:
11 That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.
I lako oukou i na mea a pau, i nui ai ko oukou lokomaikai, oia ka mea e hoomaikaiia'ku ai ke Akua ma o makou la.
12 Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord,
No ka mea, o ka hana ana i keia oihana ka mea e pau ai ka nele o ka poe haipule; aole ia wale no, ka mea hoi ia e mahuahua ai ka hoomaikai nui aku i ke Akua;
13 By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them, and unto all.
No ka ike maopopo ana i keia lokomaikai, e hoonani aku lakou i ke Akua no ko oukou hooia ana e hoolohe i ka euanelio a Kristo, a no ka lokomaikai hoi o ka makana ia lakou, a i na mea a pau;
14 And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you.
A i ka lakou pule ana no oukou, me ka makemake nui ia oukou no ka lokomaikai nui o ke Akua maluna o oukou.
15 Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
E alohaia'ku ke Akua no kona makana nui aole e hiki ke haiia'ku.
