2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia;
Koeinaakhqi tuh, Makedonia qam awhkaw thlangboelkhqi venawh Khawsa ing a peek qeennaak ce nami sim aham ngaih nyng.
2 how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
Sykzoeknaak sang hlai uhy, zeelnaak ing be ngen unawh, khawdeng hahqah soeih hlai uhy, ami khawboe leek hy.
3 For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Ami peek thai khuiawh pe uhy, a mami peek thainaak a voel dyna pe uhy. A mimah qoe qoe ing,
4 begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
thlakciimkhqi bi bi pek ahamna ka venawh thoeh law uhy.
5 This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
Kaimih ing kamik poeknaak amyihna am awm uhy, Bawipa venawh lamma na a mimah ingkaw a mimah aming peek qu coengawh Khawsa ngaihnaak hqut doena kaimih a venawh awm pe qu bai uhy.
6 So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
Cedawngawh nangmih awh maa awhkawng a sai law hawh adawngawh ve qeennaak awm nangmih avenawh a sai pahoei hamna Tita ce qeennaak thoeh nyng.
7 But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love from us that is in you, see that you also abound in this grace.
Cawhce, a soep – cangnaak awh, awihkqawn thoemnaak awh, simnaak benawh, thahlynaak kawi boeih awh, ani lungnaak khqi awh – nami huh amyihna ce qeenaak ce nami huh naak thai ahamna tha yy law uh.
8 I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
Nangmih awi amni pek khqi nyng, cehlai coet amak kap lungnaak ce thlang a venawh ypawm na awmnaak ing nyhtah aham ngaih nyng.
9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
Ningmih Bawipa Jesu Khrih am qeennaak ce sim uhyk ti, anih ce Boei hlai hy nangmih ing anih a khawdengnaak ak caming nami boeinaak aham anih ce khawdeng na coeng hy.
10 I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
Ve a kawnglam awh ve nangmih aham ak leek khyt ce kqawn law vang nyng: Ni hukum awh nangmih ve them ak pe cyk doeng kaana cemyih na sai ham ak ngaih cyk na awm awm uhyk ti.
11 But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
Cawhkaw bibi ce ang coeng dy na bi uh, cawh ni na mimah a sainaak amyihna nami ngaihnaak ing ang qoep hly.
12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
Thlanghqing pek ngaihnaak kawlung ing a taak soeih awh am nawh a taak a myih lawtna a peek ve ym ham awm hawh hy.
13 For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
Thlangkhqi ham hawihkhang naak na a awm awh nangmih aham phyihqih na a awm aham am ngaih unyng, ang myih qip na awm ahamni kami ngaih hy.
14 but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.
Tuh ve nangmih a thempeek ing a mingmih a voethlauhnaak ce dawm kaw, cawh ni nangmih nami voethlauh awh a mingmih ing a mini dawm hly lawt hy. Cawhtaw ang myih pin na awm kawm uk ti:
15 As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."
Ak cun ingawm am ta kyng nawh, a khoehca ak cun ingawm a khoehca am tahy,” tinawh a qee amyihna.
16 But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
Nangmih a venawh ngaihnaak ka taak lawt amyihna nangmih a venawh ngaihnaak kawlung Tita a venawh ak pekung Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nyng.
17 For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
Kaimih a thoehnaak ce a do coengawh, amah a ngaihnaak kawlung qoe ing nangmih a venna law aham ngaih hy.
18 We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the churches.
Anih ing ak law haih aham awithang leek awh thlangboel ce tyi law haih kawng unyng.
19 Not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
Cek coeng bai awh, kutdo ce kami khyn awh kaimih anik bawng aham anih ce thlangboel ing tyk bai hy, cawhkaw ik-oeih kutpeek bibinaak taw Bawipa amah zoeksangnaak ham ingkaw thlang dawmhlai aham ngaihnaak ta unyng tice dang saknaak ahamni.
20 We are avoiding this, that no one should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
Vawhkaw ngaihding na ik-oeih kutpeek bibinaak awh thlang ing a coet aham am ngaih unyng.
21 For we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others.
Ikawtih ak dyng ik-oeih taw Bawipa mik huh doeng am nawh thlanghqing mik huh awh awm sai aham tha lo unyng.
22 We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
Cek coeng bai awh, ik-oeih a boe awh thahly na ak awm, tuh ak khqoet awh awm nangmih ni ypnak khqi nawh tha ak hly soeih kaimih a naa ce tyi law kawng unyng.
23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Tita ve nangmih anglakawh, kai bi a nik bi pyikung ingkaw kai anik pyikung na awm hy; koeinaakhqi taw thlangboelkhqi a dyihthing na awm unawh Khrih ak zoeksangkungkhqi na awm uhy.
24 Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the churches, and of our boasting about you.
Cedawngawh thlangboel ing a huh thainaak aham, ve ak thlangkhqi venawh nangmih a lungnaak ingkaw nangmih awh kaimih ang oek qunaak ce dang sak lah uh.
