1Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.
1Nawkamyanawk, Macedonia prae ih kricaabunawk nuiah Sithaw mah paek ih tahmenhaih to na panoek o han kang koeh o haih;
2That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy; and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.
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.
3For according to their power (I bear them witness), and beyond their power, they were willing.
3Ue, nihcae loe a paek o thaihaih pong kamthlai ah paek koehhaih palung a tawnh o, tito ka panoek;
4With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.
4Sithaw tok nawnto sah kaciim kaminawk abomhaih nihcae ih tangqum ka talawk pae o hanah, tahmenhaih ang hnik o.
5And not as we hoped, but they gave their own selves first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God:
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.
6Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.
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.
7That as in all things you abound in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all carefulness; moreover also in your charity towards us, so in this grace also you may abound.
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.
8I speak not as commanding; but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.
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.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor, for your sakes; that through his poverty you might be rich.
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.
10And herein I give my advice; for this is profitable for you, who have begun not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
10Hnukbang saning hoiah toksak nam tong o khue na ai ah, koehhaih palungthin hoiah na sak o hanah, poekhaih kang paek o;
11Now therefore perform ye it also in deed; that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.
11sak han na koeh o pongah, vaihi na sak o ih tok to, pacoeng khoek to na sak o han oh.
12For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.
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.
13For I mean not that others should be eased, and you burthened, but by an equality.
13Minawk han khosak zoisak moe, nangcae hmuenzit phawsak hanah thuih koehhaih ih na ai ni:
14In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want, that there may be an 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:
15As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.
15kapop ah akhui kami loe kamthlai ah tawn ai; zetta akhui kami doeh vawt ai, tiah tarik ih oh.
16And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.
16Titu ih palung thungah nangcae khetzawn koehhaih palung paekkung, Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih.
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more careful, of his own will he went unto 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.
18We have sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.
18Tamthanglok thuihaih bangah kricaabu boih mah pakoeh o ih, nawkamya to anih hoi nawnto kang patoeh o;
19And not that only, but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord, and our determined will:
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.
20Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us.
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:
21For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.
21Angraeng hmaa khue ah na ai, kaminawk hmaa ah doeh, pakoeh koi kaom ah tok ka sak o.
22And we have sent with them our brother also, whom we have often proved diligent in many things; but now much more diligent, with much confidence in you,
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.
23Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ.
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.
24Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24To pongah nangcae amlunghaih hoi kam oek o haih to, kricaabunawk hmaa hoi nihcae khaeah amtueng o sak ah.
