2 Corinthians 8
1 But, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia;
Joon awaan loong, Mesidonia chaas loong adi Rangte minchan ah mathan angta erah jatthuk suh liihi.
2 because in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
Neng loong ah phate joonnaam rumta doh rapne ih chamnaang rumta; enoothong neng loong tenroon ah erah than ehan angta, neng lakkot ah uh datniikniik eh kotsuh nook rumta, neng loong ah changthih taat angrum abah uh ah.
3 Because I witness, that according to their ability, and beyond their ability they were anxious,
Ngah ih sen loong asuh jen baat ih rumha neng ih mathan jen koh ah erah than ih koh rumta, eno erah nang ih ehan botse korumta. Neng ten ih jam ano
4 with much exhortation praying our favor and the fellowship of the ministry which is to the saints:
Judia dowa Rangte mina loong ah seng ih nep roong sokboi ih ngeh ih chuut hu rum ano seng lasih jotahe.
5 and not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us through the will of God:
Seng laalomti ah nang ih ju ehan ih re rumta! Jaakhothoon ah neng Teesu suh look rumta; erah lih adi, Rangte thung jun di neng teewah seng sak ni uh look haat eh rumtaha.
6 that we should exhort Titus, that as he formerly began it, he may indeed also complete this grace unto you.
Erah jun ih seng loong ah Taitaas reeni chuut huuti, an phang mokah tu ah neng raangtaan ih heh minchan mootkaat ah maang thoonthoon ih mootjih ang ah ngeh ah.
7 But as in every thing you abound, in faith, and in word, and knowledge, and in all zeal, and in divine love from you in us, that you may also abound in this philanthropy.
Sen loong jiinni tiimjih jeela erah kapjap han adi sen loong ah rapne changteng: hanpi di angkoja oh, tiit baat di angkoja oh, adoleh mongtham di angkoja oh, erah damdi seng chosok hali nyia minchan ih hali adi nep ah. Eno sen loong ah arah minchan mootkaat adoh uh larat lapatte toom ang an ih liihi.
8 I speak not according to commandment, but through the zeal of others also proving the sincerity of your divine love.
Ngah ih sen hopnak suh nyia pansuh tali kang. Enoothong wahoh loong ah mih chosok suh mamah ih nookla, erah likhiik sen loong mongnook amiisak di mathan ah erah jat suh liihang.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, being rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be made rich.
Sen loong ah ih seng Teesu Jisu Kristo minchan ah jat ehan; heh changteng ang abah uh, sen raangtaan ih heh teewah changthih ih hoon thukta, tiimnge liidi heh changthet jun ih sen changteng toom ih hoon an ngeh ah.
10 And herein I give my judgement: for this is profitable to you, who not only began to do, but to be anxious, a year ago:
Ngah ih thunhang manrang phang mokatan ah amadoh jentom mokah anbah ese ang ah. Sen loong ah mootkaat pakna ni luulu kapkhoh tah angtan, reeraang pakna suh uh ethun ih tan.
11 but now indeed complete the work; in order that as there was a promptitude of willing, there shall also be a completion out of your ability.
Emah ang abah, mootkaatjih ah thoon mootkaat ih an! Sen ih echaan ih thoon mootkaat suh thuntan ah mamah jen reeraang pakna an erah jun ih thoon mokah an eno amadi tiim reeraangjih ah erah mokah an.
12 For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable according to what one may have, and not according to what he has not.
Sen loong ah ekot esuh nook elan bah, sen suh jeela jun ih sen lakkot ah Rangte ih ethang ih ah, lajeeka bah tiimma thang ah.
13 For it is not that there may be relief to others, affliction to you, but that it may be according to equality: at this time your abundance may correspond to their deficiency,
Ngah ih sen loong ah naangcham thuk rum haano wahoh naangtong thuk suh taliikang; enoothong amadi sen suh saapoot je thoidi ba, ramtek khamle tongte loong ah chosok anbah ese ang ah ngeh ih baat rumhala. Eno juuba, sen loong ramtek khamle tong an doh nyia neng suh je adoh neng ih uh toom chosok han. Erah likhiik sen loongtang eluilui ang theng.
14 that their abundance may correspond with your deficiency, in order that there may be equality:
15 as has been written, He that had much did not super-abound; and he that had little did not lack.
Rangteele ni amah liiha, “O ih ehan lomhui ha erah suh ehan tah angka, eno o ih amasah lomhui ha he suh eneethoon tah angka.”
16 But thanks be unto God, who gives this same enthusiasm in your behalf in the heart of Titus;
Rangte suh lakookmi liihi seng ih sen chosok suh thun hi ah likhiik Taitaas ih uh emamah ih thunha!
17 because he indeed accepted our exhortation; and being the more enthusiastic, came unto you of his own accord.
Heh suh baatti luulu lathang thang ih; heh thung ih uh sen chosok suh nyia sen reeni kaat thung angta.
18 But we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is through all the churches;
Chaas rookwet ni ruurang ese tiit baat thoidi rapne ih choomjoh arah phoh ano wahoh loong nep heh damdi wakkaat thuk hali.
19 not only so, but having been elected by the churches our traveling companion with this philanthropy, administered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and your promptitude:
Erah tokkhoh di uh, minchan thoidi nyia Teesu rangka suh adoleh sen loong chosok ah noisok suh Chaaste loong ih heh seng damdoh roongkhoom theng ngeh ih danje nyia danjoh rumha.
20 and avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this benefaction administered by us:
Lakkot laknoi doh mih ih liilaang jih naktoom ang ah ngeh ih seng sokthun samthun ih reeli.
21 for we provide things honest, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also before the people.
Teesu miksok doh luulu lah angthang ih, mih miksok doh seng loong ah marah epun ah erah reejih.
22 And we sent our brother along with him to them, whom we have tried, being frequently zealous in many things, but now much more zealous, with great confidence towards you.
Erah raangtaan ih Taitaas loong ah damdi seng loong no wakkaat thuk hali; seng ih saarookwet thaaksok ih di heh mih chosok suh ramram angte mina. Eno amadi sen loong asuh rapne laalom halan, sen chosok suh rapne ih ramla.
23 Whether in behalf of Titus, my companion and fellow-laborer towards you; or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Taitaas ah langla, sen loong chosok suh nga damdi roong mootkaatte; phoh ano wahoh loong heh damdi o roongkhoom rumla langla, chaas loong mendi khoom rumla nyia Kristo men raksiitte.
24 Moreover manifesting the exhibition of your love, and our boasting to them in your behalf, in the face of the churches.
Neng loong asuh sen mongnook ah noisok an, chaas loong ah erah suh emi tuumaang theng toom ang ah adoleh sen thoilam di seng loong khuupook li ah epun ekah ngeh ih toomjat rum ah.
