Korineto II 8
1 E NA hoahanau, ke hoike aku nei makou ia oukou i ka lokomaikai o ke Akua i haawiia mai i na ekalesia o Makedonia;
Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia;
2 Ia lakou i hoao nui ia mai ai i ka hoino, mahuahua iho la ko lakou olioli, a i ko lakou ilihune loa, mahuahua iho la ko lakou manawalea ana aku.
how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
3 No ka mea, ua ike maka au, e like me ko lakou Iako, a nui loa aku, no ko lakou makemake iho,
For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4 Koi ikaika mai la lakou me ke noi mai ia makou, na makou no e malama i ka haawina, a e lawe pu i manawalea na ka poe haipule.
begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
5 Aole nae i like me ko makou manao, aka, haawi e aku la lakou mamna ia lakou iho no ka Haku, a no makou hoi, ma ka makemake o ke Akua.
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.
6 No ia mea, ua noi aku makou ia Tito; e like me kana i hoomaka'i, pela no hoi oia e hoopau ai i keia haawina mawaena o oukou.
So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
7 No ia hoi, no ko oukou mahuahua ana i na inea a pau, i ka manaoio, i ka olelo, i ka ike, i ka ikaika a pau, a me ko oukou aloha mai ia makou; i mahuahua hoi oukou i keia lokomaikai ana'ku.
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.
8 Aole au e olelo aku ma ke kanoha, aka, no ka ikaika o kekahi poe, a e hoao hoi i ka oiaio o ko oukou aloha.
I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
9 No ka mea, ua ike no oukou i ka lokomaikai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, ua waiwai oia, a no oukou i lilo mai ai ia i mea ilihune, i waiwai ai hoi oukou ma kona ilihune.
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.
10 Ke hai aku nei au i kun manao i keia mea; he mea pono keia no oukou ka poe i hoomaka, aole i ka hana wale no, aka, i ka makemake hoi i kela makahiki mamua.
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.
11 Ano hoi, e hooko oukou i ka hana ana ia mea; e like me ko oukou manao makemake, pela hoi e hooko ai ma ka oukou i loaa mai.
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.
12 No ka mea, a i loaa ka manao makemake, ua maliuia mai ia ma ka mea i loaa ia ia, aole ma ka mea i loaa ole.
For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you do not have.
13 Aole o'u makemake e mama na mea e ae, a e kaumaha oukou:
For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
14 Aka, i like, i neia manawa e kokua aku ko oukou waiwai i ko lakou ilihune, i kokua mai hoi ko lakou waiwai i ko oukou ilihune, i like pu:
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.
15 E like me ka mea i palapalaia, o ka mea i hoiliili nui, aohe mea i oi aku nana; a o ka mea i hoiliili liilii, aole i emi kana.
As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."
16 E alohaia ke Akua nana i haawi mai keia manao ikaika iloko o ka naau o Tito no oukou.
But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai la ia i ka olelo hooikaika; aka, i ka oi ana aku o kona ikaika, hele aku la ia io oukou la ma kona manao iho.
For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
18 A ua hoouna pu aku la makou me ia i ka hoahanau, nona ka hoomaikaiia mai ma na ekalesia a pau, no ka euanelio.
We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known through all the churches.
19 Aole keia wale no, aka, ua waeia hoi oia e na ekalesia i hoahele no makou me keia haawina i laweia e makou no ka nani o ka Haku, a me ka hoike ana'ku i ko oukou lokomaikai.
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.
20 E makaala'na i keia, o olelo ino ia mai makou e kekahi i keia mea nui a makou e malama nei.
We are avoiding this, that no one should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
21 E hoomanao e ana i na mea maikai, aole imua o ke Akua wale no, imua hoi o kanaka.
For we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others.
22 A ua hoouna pu aku la makou i ko makou hoahanau me lakou, i ka mea a makou i ike pinepine ai, na ikaika i na mea he nui; ano, ua nui aku kona ikaika, i ka nui o kona manao maopopo ia oukou.
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.
23 A i ninauia mai o Tito, o kuu hoapili ia a me kuu hoahana no oukou; a o na hoahanau hoi o makou, o lakou ka poe elele no na ekalesia, a me ka nani o Kristo.
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.
24 Nolaila, e hoike mai ia lakou, a imua hoi o na ekalesia i ka oiaio o ko oukou aloha, a me ko makou kaena ana no oukou.
Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the churches, and of our boasting about you.
