2 Corinthians 9
1 With reference, indeed, to the Fund for your fellow-Christians, it is quite superfluous for me to say anything to you.
Judia ni Rangte mina loong kaat thuk halang ah chosok suh ngah ih sen suh le raangkot ju amiidi bah lapaklak jih angta.
2 I know, of course, your willingness to help, and I am always boasting of it to the Macedonians. I tell them that you in Greece have been ready for a year past; and it was really your zeal that stimulated most of them.
Ngah ih jat ehang sen loong ah chosok suh eram elan, erah raangtaan ih Mesidonia mina loong suh sen suh khuupook lang ah noisok rumhang. Ngah ih liitang, “Akaia dowa hanpiite loong ah” “manrang dowa ih chosok esuh banban tong rumla.” Sen lakkot je thoidi neng loong ah ehanko ah lakkot laknoi thung.
3 So my reason for sending our Brothers is to prevent what we said about you from proving, in this particular matter, an empty boast, and to enable you to be as well prepared as I have been saying that you are.
Arah hanpiite loong ah amadi daapkaat eh halang, sen lakkot laknoi suh khuupookli ah thaangmuh jengkhaap naktoom ang ah. Enoothong, ngah ih liihang ah likhiik, sen loong ah lakkot laknoi suh banban bantong theng.
4 Otherwise, if any Macedonians were to come with me, and find you unprepared, we — to say nothing of you — should feel ashamed of our present confidence.
Enoothong, Mesidonia dowa mina loong ah nga damdoh mok roongra haadoh sen lakkot suh banban lamok angkan bah, seng tiimthan rakriijih ang ah—sen rakrek tiit ju lah angthang—sen su laalomli asuh ehan rakri theng ang ah.
5 Therefore I think it necessary to urge the Brothers to go to you in advance, and to complete the arrangements for the gift, which you have already promised, so that it may be ready, as a gift, before I come, and not look as if it were being given under pressure.
Erah thoidi hanpiite loong ah nga ngani bankaat thuksuh samthuntang, neng ih sen lakkot kakham tan ah toom ban khookham rum ah suh ah. Eno juuba ngah thok hangdoh ban khookham choi ang ah, eno lakkot laknoi suh enook elan ngeh ih noisok ah, sen ekot etheng ngeh ih lah angthang eh ah.
6 Remember the saying — ‘Scanty sowing, scanty harvest; plentiful sowing, plentiful harvest.’
Samthun etheng o mina ih hejih eneesah wen abah cham hemootsah ju ang ah; o ih ehan wen ah ehan ju choh ah.
7 Let every one give as he has determined before hand, not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves ‘a cheerful giver.’
Erah raangtaan ih, mamah ih kotsuh liitan, emamah ih kottheng, thetthun damdoh lakot theng nyia kot ejih angkatih ngeh ih lakottheng; tiimnge liidi Rangte ih o ih tenroon ih koha erate ah nook ha.
8 God has power to shower all kinds of blessings upon you, so that, having, under all circumstances and on all occasions, all that you can need, you may be able to shower all kinds of benefits upon others.
Adoleh mootse kaatse raangtaan ih Rangte ih sen ih jamhan ah nang ih ju ehan jen kohan, saarookwet nyia saapoot rookwet sen raangtaan ih jeeruh toom eh ah ngeh ah.
9 (As Scripture says — ‘He scattered broadcast, he gave to the poor; His righteousness continues for ever.’ (aiōn g165)
Rangteele ni uh emah liiha, “Changthih noodek suh larat lapat ih koh adi; heh tenthet ah saarookwet raang ih tong ah. (aiōn g165)
10 And he who supplies ‘seed to the sower, and bread for eating,’ will supply you with seed, and cause it to increase, and will multiply ‘the fruits of your righteousness’).
Eno Rangte, o ih chamwente suh raanjih kotte nyia phaksat esuh baanlo kotte warah ih larat lapat kot kano raanjih thoontang kohan, eno erah rapne ih seethuk ah.
11 Rich in all things yourselves, you will be able to show liberality to all, which, with our help, will cause thanksgiving to be offered to God.
Jaarookwet naktoom ratpat ah ngeh ih sen changteng angthuk han, tiimnge liidi sen ih kohali ah neng suh toom kohi thoidoh warep ih Rangte suh saarookwet lakookmi toomli rum ah.
12 For the rendering of a public service such as this, not only relieves the needs of your fellow-Christians, but also results in the offering to God of many a thanksgiving.
Sen erah reeraang lan ah Rangte mina loong raangtaan luulu tah angka, enoothong Rangte suh ehanhan ih lakookmi li theng ih hoonla.
13 Through the evidence afforded by the service thus rendered, you cause men to praise God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the Good News of the Christ, as well as for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all others.
Eno erah pakna reeraang lan jun ih, nyia Kristo ruurangese tiit ah kap kanno adoleh amadi, neng suh kohan nyia wareprep suh chokoh han thoidoh warep ih Rangte rangka ah.
14 And they also, in their prayers for you, express their longing to see you, because of the surpassing love of God displayed toward you.
Eno Rangte ih hedakdak minchan noisok kohanno neng loong ah ih rapne ih thun damdoh rangsoom kohan.
15 All thanks to God for his inestimable gift!
Ranglakkot thaangmuh kot thoidoh loongtang ih Rangte suh lakookmi li ih!
