1Nawkamyanawk, Macedonia prae ih kricaabunawk nuiah Sithaw mah paek ih tahmenhaih to na panoek o han kang koeh o haih;
1Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of Macedonia.
2to kricaabunawk loe kanung parai patangkhanghaih a tongh o, toe anghoehaih a tawnh o, paroeai amtang o, toe paawthaih om ai ah hmuen a paek o thaih.
2In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
3Ue, nihcae loe a paek o thaihaih pong kamthlai ah paek koehhaih palung a tawnh o, tito ka panoek;
3For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,
4Sithaw tok nawnto sah kaciim kaminawk abomhaih nihcae ih tangqum ka talawk pae o hanah, tahmenhaih ang hnik o.
4they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
5Ka poek o ih hmuen pong kamthlai ah tok ka sak o, hmaloe koekah angmacae hoi angmacae to Angraeng khaeah ang paek o, to pacoengah Sithaw koehhaih baktiah kaicae khaeah doeh ang paek o.
5And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, because it was the will of God.
6Anih mah nangcae khaeah hae baktih toksak amtong boeh pongah, hae tahmenhaih tok hae boeng khoek to a sak ngala hanah, Titu khaeah tamenhaih ka hnik o.
6So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.
7Toe nangcae loe tanghaih, lokthuihaih, palunghahaih, panoekhaih hoi hmuennawk boih ah minawk kalah pongah na sak o thai kue; Kaicae palunghaih bangah na koep o baktih toengah, hae tahmenhaih toksakhaih bangah doeh tha na pathok o hanah kang koeh o haih.
7But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you —see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8Nangcae khaeah kaalok paek ih baktiah lok ka thui ai, toe kalah kaminawk mah tha pathokhaih hoi nangcae amlunghaih loe tangtang maw tangtang ai, tito tah tanoek han ih ni ka thuih.
8I am not making a demand, but I am testing the sincerity of your love in comparison to the earnestness of others.
9Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri tahmenhaih to na panoek o, Anih loe angraeng, toe Anih amtanghaih rang hoiah nangcae angraeng o thai hanah, nangcae pongah Anih loe kamtang ah oh.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
10Hnukbang saning hoiah toksak nam tong o khue na ai ah, koehhaih palungthin hoiah na sak o hanah, poekhaih kang paek o;
10And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire.
11sak han na koeh o pongah, vaihi na sak o ih tok to, pacoeng khoek to na sak o han oh.
11Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.
12Tawn ai thung hoiah paek ih hmuen baktih na ai ah, paek koehhaih palungthin tawnh hmaloe pongah, a tawnh ih hmuen thung hoiah paek ih hmuen loe, talawk thaih koiah oh.
12For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
13Minawk han khosak zoisak moe, nangcae hmuenzit phawsak hanah thuih koehhaih ih na ai ni:
13It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.
14kangvan ah khen si tih nahaeloe, vaihi na tawnh o mangh naah, kavawt nihcae to na bomh o han oh, nihcae tawnh o mangh naah doeh, kavawt nangcae to abom o han oh, to tiah ni maeto hoi maeto angvanhaih om tih:
14At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. Then there will be equality.
15kapop ah akhui kami loe kamthlai ah tawn ai; zetta akhui kami doeh vawt ai, tiah tarik ih oh.
15As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
16Titu ih palung thungah nangcae khetzawn koehhaih palung paekkung, Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih.
16But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
17Anih loe ka thuih ih lok to talawk moe, nangcae khetzawn koehhaih palung tawnh pongah, a caeh koehhaih palungthin hoiah ni nangcae khaeah angzoh.
17For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
18Tamthanglok thuihaih bangah kricaabu boih mah pakoeh o ih, nawkamya to anih hoi nawnto kang patoeh o;
18Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
19to khue ai, to nawkamya loe Angraeng angmah to pakoeh moe, a tawnh o ih abomh koehhaih palungthin amtuengsak hanah, hae tangqum sinh hoiah kaicae hoi nawnto kholong caeh hanah, kricaabu mah qoih ih kami ah oh.
19More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the offering —the gracious gift we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help.
20Pop parai hae tangqum paekhaih tok ka sak o naah, minawk mah kasae ang thuih o han ai ah, kaicae loe acoehaih hoiah ni tok ka sak o:
20We hope to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.
21Angraeng hmaa khue ah na ai, kaminawk hmaa ah doeh, pakoeh koi kaom ah tok ka sak o.
21For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men.
22Kicae ih amnawk maeto doeh, nihcae hoi nawnto kang patoeh, anih loe hmuen boih ah minawk abomh koehhaih bangah palungthin thacak kami ni, tito panoek o boeh, nangcae nuiah kating ai oephaih ka tawnh pongah, anih loe vaihi abom koehhaih palungthin thacak aep aep.
22And we are sending along with them our brother whose earnestness has been proven many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you.
23Titu loe kawbaktih kami maw, tiah dueng han koeh kami om nahaeloe, anih loe nangcae khaeah kai hoi nawnto toksah ampui ah oh: kalah aicae ih nawkamyanawk loe mi maw, tiah dueng o nahaeloe, nihcae loe Kri lensawkhaih ah kaom, kricaabunawk mah patoeh ih kami ah oh o.
23As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, to the glory of Christ.
24To pongah nangcae amlunghaih hoi kam oek o haih to, kricaabunawk hmaa hoi nihcae khaeah amtueng o sak ah.
24In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.
