< 2 Corinthians 8 >
1 And, my brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which was conferred on the churches of the Macedonians;
Hmaunawnghanaw, Masidonia ram e Kawhmounnaw koe Cathut ni a poe e lungmanae hah nangmouh koe dei hanelah ka ngai.
2 that in the great trial of their affliction, there was an abounding to their joy, and the depth of their poverty was exuberant in the riches of their liberality.
Ahnimouh teh roedengnae hoi puenghoi tanouknae a khang awh ei, ahnimae lunghawinae hoi roedengnae pueng teh, ahnimae pasougngamnae dawk bawinae lah a coung sak.
3 For I testify that, according to their ability, and beyond their ability, in the spontaneity of their mind,
Kai ni kampangkhai e teh, ahnimouh ni amamae a coung thai awh e hlak acawilah a poe awh teh,
4 they besought us, with much entreaty, that they might participate in the beneficence of the ministration to the saints.
tami kathoung kawkhik e lahoi coe hane yawhawinae hah ka coe awh van nahan, poehno hah na dâw pouh awh loe titeh na kâ awh.
5 And not only as we had expected, but they first gave themselves unto the Lord, and to us by the will of God.
Ahnimouh teh kaimouh ni ka ngaihawi e hloilah, Cathut ngainae patetlah Bawipa koe amamouh hoi amamouh hmaloe a ka poe, a hnukkhu kaimouh koehai a ka poe awh.
6 So that we requested Titus, that as he had begun, so he would perfect in you also the same beneficence.
Hatdawkvah, Titu ni hote lungmanae hah nangmouh koe a kamtawng e patetlah a pout totouh a sak nahanlah kaimouh ni ahni hah ka hroecoe awh.
7 And as ye are enriched in every thing, in faith, and speech, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in our love towards you, so abound ye in this beneficence also.
Nangmouh teh yuemnae dawk hai thoseh, pâphonae dawk hai thoseh, lungangnae dawk hai thoseh, lungtangnae dawk hai thoseh, kaimouh koe na tawn awh e nangmae lungpatawnae hai thoseh, bangpueng dawk na kuepcing awh e patetlah hnokahawi saknae dawk haiyah na kawi awh naseh.
8 I do not actually command you, but by the promptitude of your fellow disciples, I would test the sincerity of your love.
Hottelah khet navah, kâpoelawk lah ka dei e nahoeh. Ayânaw e lungthonae hoiyah nangmae lungpatawnae ka tanouknae doeh.
9 For ye know the goodness of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who when he was rich, for your sakes became poor, that by his poverty ye might be made rich.
Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh teh, maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e lungmanae heh panue awh. Bawipa teh a bawi ei ahnie roedeng e lahoi nangmouh na bawi awh nahanelah, nangmouh han roedengnae a khang.
10 And I urgently recommend to you, that which is for your advantage; inasmuch as ye began, a year ago, not only to purpose, but also to perform.
Hete kahawi hno sak e hoi kâkuen lah, pouknae kahawi na poe han. Hete pouknae teh kaloum tangcoung e kum dawk hoi hete hno kamtawng awh e lahoi tawk hanelah lungthonae ka tawn e nangmouh hanlah aphu ao.
11 And now complete ye by action, what ye purposed; that as ye had a promptitude in your purposing, so ye may fulfill it in action, according to your ability.
Nangmouh ni lungthonae hmaloe na tawn awh e patetlah atu hoi namamouh na coung thai awh e patetlah tawksak a nateh hete thaw hah abaw totouh tawk awh.
12 For if there is a willingness, a person is accepted according to what he hath, and not according to what he hath not.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungthonae awm pawiteh, kaawm hoeh e hno khen laipalah, kaawm hno dawk hoi ngai hane kawi lah ao.
13 For it is not, that others may have easement, and you pressure;
Hete a kong dawk hoi alouknaw bet ahawi sak vaiteh nangmouh runae poe hane na hoeh. Reikâvan lah sak hane doeh.
14 but that ye may be on equality at the present time; and that your abundance may be a supply to their want; that their abundance likewise may be a supply to your want; that there may be equality.
Atu tueng dawk nangmae tawnnae hah ahnimae pankinae koe na poe awh pawiteh ahnimae tawnnae hoi nangmae pankinae koe thap e lah kaawm van han.
15 As it is written, He who gathered much, had nothing over; and he that gathered little, was not deficient.
Hatnavah, kapap lah ka hmawt e haiyah cawi hoeh. Kayoun lah ka hmawt e hai vout hoeh telah Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah sue kâvan lah ao han.
16 But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus this solicitude for you.
Nangmae lathueng kaie lungthonae teh Titu lungthin dawk kaawm sak e Cathut teh ka pholen.
17 For he received our exhortation; and, because he was very anxious, he cheerfully set out to visit you.
Titu teh kaimae thapoenae lawk a ngai hloilah ama lungthonae hoe a tawn dawkvah nangmouh koe ka tho e lah ao.
18 And we also sent with him that our brother, whose praise in the gospel is in all the churches;
Titu hoi hmaunawngha buet touh teh kaimouh ni ka patoun awh. Ahni ni kahawi e kamthang a hramkhai navah kawhmounnaw pueng koehoi pholen e tami lah ao hloi lah,
19 inasmuch as he likewise had been expressly chosen by the churches, to accompany me with this beneficence which is ministered by us to the glory of God and to our cordiality.
Cathut amae bawilennae hoi kaimae lungthonae hah kamnue sak thai nahanlah thoseh, kaimouh hoi thaw ka tawk e hete poehnonaw hah, kaimouh hoi cungtalah cei sak hanelah, Kawhmounnaw ni na rawi awh teh coungkacoe lah ka o awh.
20 And we hereby guarded, that no one should cast censure on us, in respect to this abundance which is ministered by us.
Kaimouh ni hote poehno moikapap dawk, tounnae awm laipalah, ayânaw koehoi pathoenae ao hoeh nahanlah ka kâhruetcuet awh.
21 For we are attentive to things commendable, not only before God, but also before men.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaimouh teh, Bawipa e hmalah dueng tho laipalah, talai taminaw e hmalah hai bari kaawm e dueng doeh ka tawk awh.
22 And we also sent with them that brother of ours, who hath often, and in many things, been proved diligent by us; and is now particularly diligent, from the great confidence he hath in you.
Ahnimouh hoi cungtalah, kaimae alouke hmaunawngha buet touh ka patoun awh. Kaimouh ni ahni teh atuhoitu noumcai hnukkhu hno puengpa dawk a lungthahmei e tami lah a onae hah ka hmu awh. Ahni teh, nangmae lathueng yuemkamcu lah ao dawkvah, atu hai hoe lungtho e lah ao.
23 And therefore, if Titus be inquired about, he is my associate and assistant among you: or if our other brethren, they are the legates of the churches of the Messiah's glory.
Titu hoi kâkuen lah dei pawiteh ahni heh kaie ka hui lah ao teh nangmouh hanelah kai hoi cungtalah thaw ka tawk e lah ao. Maimae hui, hmaunawnghanaw hoi kâkuen lah dei pawiteh ahnimouh teh kawhmoun e patounenaw, Khrih bawilennae lah kaawm e lah na o awh.
24 Therefore exhibit ye to them, in the presence of all the churches, a demonstration of your love and of our glorying respecting you.
Hatdawkvah nangmae pahren lungmanae hoi nangmae kong dawk kaimouh ni kâoupkhai hane kongnaw hah kawhmounnaw e hmalah hoi ahnimouh koe kamnuek sak awh.
