2 Corinthians 9
1 Concerning the ministry for the believers, it is not necessary for me to write to you.
A KA hoi, no ka manawalea ana i ka poe haipule, he mea hana wale ka'u ke palapala aku ia oukou.
2 I know about your desire, which I boasted about to the people of Macedonia. I told them that Achaia has been getting ready since last year. Your eagerness has motivated most of them to action.
No ka mea, ke ike nei au i ka makaukau ana o ko oukou naau, oia ka'u i kaena aku ai no oukou i ko Makedonia, ua makaukau no ko Akaia i keia makahiki mamua; a o ko oukou ikaika ka mea i ikaika ai na mea he nui.
3 Now I have sent the brothers so that our boasting about you may not be futile, and so that you would be ready, as I said you would be.
Aka, ua hoouna aku au i na hoahanau, o make hewa paha ko makou kaena ana i keia mea no oukou; i makaukau hoi oukou me ka'u i olelo aku ai:
4 Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we would be ashamed—I say nothing about you—for being so confident in you.
Malia paha o hilahila auanei makou, (aole o oukou hoi ka makou e i aku nei, ) i keia kaena ikaika ana, ke hele pu aku nei ko Makedonia me au, a loaa oukou aole i makaukau.
5 So I thought it was necessary to urge the brothers to come to you and to make arrangements in advance for the gift you have promised. This is so that it might be ready as a blessing, and not as something extorted.
No ia mea, he pono i kuu manao e noi aku i ua mau hoahanau la e hele e mamua io oukou la e hoomakaukau i ko oukou haawina i olelo e ia mamua, i makaukau ai ua mea la, me he haawina la, aole me he mea ohiia la.
6 The point is this: The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows for the purpose of a blessing will also reap a blessing.
O keia hoi ka'u, O ka mea lulu Iiilii, e hoiliili liilii no ia; a o ka mea lulu nui, e hoiliili nui no hoi oia;
7 Let each one give as he has planned in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
E like me ka manao ana o kela mea keia mea iloko o kona naau, pela ia e haawi aku ai, aole me ka minamina, aole hoi me he mea la i auhauia; no ka mea, ke aloha mai nei no ke Akua i ka mea nana e haawi oluolu aku.
8 And God is able to make all grace overflow for you, so that, always, in all things, you may have all you need. This will be so that you may multiply every good deed.
A e hiki no i ke Akua ke hoonui ae i na mea maikai a pau ia oukou; i lako mau oukou i na mea a pau, i mahuahua ka oukou hana maikai ana ma na mea a pau:
9 It is as it is written: “He has distributed his riches and given them to the poor. His righteousness lasts forever.” (aiōn g165)
Me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hooleilei aku la ia, ua haawi aku la ua ka poe ilihune: e mau loa ana kona pono. (aiōn g165)
10 He who supplies seed to the farmer who sows and bread for food, will also supply and multiply your seed for sowing. He will increase the harvest of your righteousness.
A o ka mea nana e haawi mai i ka hua na ka mea lulu, a me ka ai e ai ai, e haawi mai no ia, a e hoonui hoi i ka oukou hua i luluia, me ka hoomahuahua i na hua o ko oukou pono:
11 You will be enriched in every way so you can be generous. This will bring about thanksgiving to God through us.
I lako oukou i na mea a pau, i nui ai ko oukou lokomaikai, oia ka mea e hoomaikaiia'ku ai ke Akua ma o makou la.
12 For carrying out this service not only meets the needs of the saints but is also overflowing into many acts of thanksgiving to God.
No ka mea, o ka hana ana i keia oihana ka mea e pau ai ka nele o ka poe haipule; aole ia wale no, ka mea hoi ia e mahuahua ai ka hoomaikai nui aku i ke Akua;
13 Because of your being tested and proved by this service, you will also glorify God by obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ. You will also glorify God by the generosity of your gift to them and to everyone.
No ka ike maopopo ana i keia lokomaikai, e hoonani aku lakou i ke Akua no ko oukou hooia ana e hoolohe i ka euanelio a Kristo, a no ka lokomaikai hoi o ka makana ia lakou, a i na mea a pau;
14 They long for you, and they are praying for you. They do this because of the very great grace of God that is on you.
A i ka lakou pule ana no oukou, me ka makemake nui ia oukou no ka lokomaikai nui o ke Akua maluna o oukou.
15 May thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!
E alohaia'ku ke Akua no kona makana nui aole e hiki ke haiia'ku.
