2 Corinthians 8
1 And we make known to you, brothers, the grace of God, that has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
Mwet lili ac lulu, kut kena kowos in etu ma orekla in church nukewa in acn Macedonia ke sripen lungkulang lun God nu selos.
2 because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality;
Srikeyuk elos ke mwe lokoalok ac mwe keok puspis. Ne ouinge, engan lalos arulana yohk, pwanang mwe sang lalos wi pac yohk, elos finne arulana sukasrup.
3 because, according to [their] power, I testify, and above [their] power, they were willing of themselves,
Nga ku in fahk pwaye nu suwos lah elos sang ke kuiyalos nufon, ac yohk liki pac. Ke engan lalos sifacna,
4 with much plea calling on us to receive the favor and the fellowship of the ministry to the holy ones,
elos siyuk ac kwafe sesr in oasr kasru lalos nu sin mwet lun God in Judea.
5 and not according as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the LORD, and to us, through the will of God,
Ma elos oru inge alukela mwe finsrak lasr nu kac! Meet, elos eisalosyang sifacna nu sin Leum; ac toko, elos eisalosme pac nu sesr, fal nu ke lungse lun God.
6 so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he began before, so also he may also finish this favor to you,
Ke ma inge kut kwafel Titus, su sramtauk orekma oa se inge inmasrlowos, elan tafwelana ac kasrekowos in aksafyela.
7 but even as in everything you abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace you may abound;
Kowos arulana kasrup in ouiya nukewa ma oasr yuruwos: in lulalfongi, in pah in sramsram, ac in etauk; oayapa ke kowos akola in kasru, ac ke lungse lowos nu sesr. Ke ma inge kut lungse kowos in oayapa etaten in orekma oa se inge.
8 I do not speak according to command, but because of the diligence of others, and proving the genuineness of your love,
Nga tia oakiya ma sap nu suwos. Tusruktu ke nga fahkak lupan moniyuk lun mwet lulalfongi saya in kasru, nga srike in konauk lupan lungse pwaye lowos uh.
9 for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you He became poor—being rich, that you may become rich by that poverty.
Kowos etu lah ke sripen lungkulang lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ, el ne arulana kasrup a el sifacna aksukasrupyal tuh kowos in ku in kasrupi.
10 And I give an opinion in this: for this [is] expedient to you, who not only to do, but also to will, began before—a year ago,
Pa inge nunak luk ke ma se inge: ac wo kowos in aksafyela inge ma kowos tuh mutawauk oru ke yac tari ah. Kowos pa sramtauk ouiya se inge, ac tia ma inge mukena a kowos tuh arulana engan in oru.
11 and now also finish doing [it], that even as [there is] the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which you have,
Ke ma inge, kowos in oru na nwe ke na kowos aksafyela! Kowos in moniyuk in aksafyela oana ke kowos tuh moniyuk in lumahla, ac oru ke ma oasr yuruwos.
12 for if the willing mind is present, it is well-accepted according to that which anyone may have, not according to that which he does not have;
Kowos fin inse akola in sang, God El ac engan in eis mwe sang lowos, fal nu ke ma oasr yuruwos in sang, ac tia ke ma su wangin yuruwos.
13 for I do not speak that for others [to be] released, and you pressured,
Nga tia fahk mu in fisrasr nu sin mwet saya ac in toasr nu suwos,
14 but by equality, at the present time your abundance—for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality,
a ke sripen oasr suna yuruwos ke pacl se inge, ac fal na kowos in kasrelos su muta in enenu. Na tok, pacl kowos enenu ac mau oasr suna yorolos, na elos fah kasrekowos. In ouiya se inge kowos nukewa akasrui oana sie.
15 according as it has been written: “He who [gathered] much, had nothing over; and he who [gathered] little, had no lack.”
Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk: “El su sifani yohk, wangin ma lula yorol; ac el su sifani srik, wangin enenu lal.”
16 And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus,
Kut kulo nu sin God lah El oru tuh Titus elan kena kasrekowos oana kut!
17 because he indeed accepted the exhortation, and being more diligent, he went forth to you of his own accord,
Ke kut tuh siyuk elan kasru enenu lasr, el insese nu kac, tusruktu ke sripen lungse yohk lal el sifacna sulela elan fahsrot in kasre kowos.
18 and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news [is] through all the assemblies,
Ac kut oayapa supwaot, welul Titus, sie mwet wiasr su arulana lulalfongiyuk in church nukewa ke sripen orekma lal in fahkak Pweng Wo.
19 and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveler, with this favor that is ministered by us, to the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind;
Sayen ma ingan, el sulosolla ac srisrngiyuki in church puspis in wi kut fufahsryesr ke kut us mwe lung inge, su ma nu ke wolana lun Leum, ac mwe akkalemye lah kut lungse kasru.
20 avoiding this, lest anyone may blame us in this abundance that is ministered by us,
Kut arulana karinganang tuh in wangin kas in akkoluk lun mwet ke luman usyen mwe sang yohk lowos inge sesr.
21 providing right things, not only before the LORD, but also before men;
Kut kena oru ma suwohs, tia ye mutun Leum God mukena, a oayapa ye mutun mwet uh.
22 and we sent our brother with them, whom we proved being diligent many times in many things, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you,
Ke ma inge kut supwaot sie mwet wiasr in welulos. Kut srikal pacl pus ac kut konauk lah el kena kasru pacl nukewa. Ac inge, ke oasr lulalfongi yohk lal keiwos, el akola tari elan akyokye orekma in kasru lal.
23 whether—about Titus—my partner and fellow-worker toward you, whether—our brothers, apostles of assemblies—glory of Christ;
Ac funu kacl Titus, el mwet wiyu orekma in kasrekowos. Ac ke mwet wiasr saya su ac welul fahsrot, elos aol kais sie church in fahkak wolana nu sin Christ.
24 the showing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, show to them, even in the face of the assemblies.
Akkalemye lungse lowos nu selos, tuh church nukewa fah akpwayei, ac etu lah pwaye sesr in konkin keiwos.
