1Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.
1Manuca rhoek nangmih taengla ka phoe uh coeng. Pathen kah lungvatnah he Makedonia hlangboel rhoek taengah a paek coeng.
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.
2Phacip phabaem kah loepdaknah a tlung rhangneh amih kah omngaihnah dongkah baecoihnah laom. A khodaengnah loh muelh a dung vaengah a moeihoeihnah te khuehtawn la a baecoih pah.
3For according to their power (I bear them witness), and beyond their power, they were willing.
3Te dongah amih kah thaomnah vanbangla amih kah thaomnah neh voelh ka oep.
4With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.
4Thaphohnah cungkuem dongah lungvatnah neh mamih doedan ham, hlangcim rhoek taengah aka bitat neh doedannah ham rhoeng rhoeng ham bih uh.
5And not as we hoped, but they gave their own selves first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God:
5Te vaengah ng'ngaiuep bangla om pawt cakhaw Pathen kah kongaih dongah amamih te Boeipa taeng neh mamih taengah lamhma laa paek uh.
6Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.
6Mamih loh doedannah phueng la om sak ham Titu te hloep uh. Te daengah ni lungvatnah he khaw nangmih taengah a cung tangloeng eh.
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.
7Tedae cungkuem dongah na baecoih uh vanbangla tangnah neh olka dongah, mingnah neh thahluenah cungkuem dongah, kaimih lamkah nangmih taengah aka om lungnah dongah khaw baetawt uh lah. Te dongah tahae kah lungvatnah dongah khaw na baetawt uh.
8I speak not as commanding; but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.
8Olpaek neh kam voek moenih. Tedae a tloe kah thahluenah lamloh nangmih kah lungnah te khaw hmantang aha soepsoei coeng.
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.
9Mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah te na ming uh. Kuirhang la aka om loh a khodaeng te nangmih ham ni. Te daengah ni anih kah khodaeng ming loh nangmih n'khuehtawn sak eh.
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.
10He dongah he poeknah khaw kam paek coeng. He tah nangmih ham khaw rhoei coeng. Anih loh a saii bueng pawt tih kumbuet lamloh phueng a ngaih tangtae rhoe ni.
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.
11Tedae bisaii te khaw coeng uh laeh. Te dongah khalanah loh a ngaih van bangla na khueh te khap van tangloeng laeh.
12For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.
12Khalanah loh a tawn uh atah aka om pawt rhi ah pawt tih aka khueh dongah te a uem.
13For I mean not that others should be eased, and you burthened, but by an equality.
13A tloe tah hilhoemnah tih nangmih te phacip phabaem paek ham om pawh.
14In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want, that there may be an equality,
14Tedae tahae tue vaengah aka coihphaek nangmih loh te rhoek kah vawtthoeknah dongah vanatnah neh om uh. Te daengah ni aka baecoih rhoek te nangmih kah vawtthoeknah dongah om van vetih vanatnah a om tangloeng eh.
15As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.
15A daek tangtae vanbangla muep aka yet long khaw kum pawt tih aka yool long khaw a daeng moenih.
16And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.
16Tedae Pathen taengkah lungvatnah loh Titu thinko ah nangmih ham thahluenah te a paek.
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more careful, of his own will he went unto you.
17Thaphohnah te hlaehlae a doe rhep dongah ni nangmih taengah rhoeng rhoeng ha om tih a pongpa van.
18We have sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel through all the churches.
18Hlangboel boeih te olthangthen dongah thangthennah neh puei ham ni manuca Titu amah te kan tueih uh.
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:
19Te bueng pawt tih lungvatnah dongah mamih kaha hui la hlangboel rhoek loh a coelh. Boeipa kah thangpomnah neh kaimih kah khalanah nen khaw kaimih loh anih te ka bongyong uh.
20Avoiding this, lest any man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us.
20He mah he rhael uh. Kothoh dongah kaimih loh ka boelrhai uh he pakhat long khaw kaimih n'cawt ve.
21For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.
21Boeipa hmai bueng ah pawt tih hlang rhoek hmaiah khaw a then ham ni kho ka khan uh.
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,
22Amih rhoi khaw mamih kah manuca neh kan puei sak lah ko. Anih te puet ka nuemnai uh khing vaengah kalek kace la om. Nangmih khuiah pangtungnah neh hlaehlae muep om van coeng.
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 te ka pueipo neh nangmih ham bibipuei ni. Mah manuca neh hlangboel kah caeltueih rhoek long tah Khrih kah thangpomnah la poek uh mai.
24Wherefore shew ye to them, in the sight of the churches, the evidence of your charity, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Te dongah nangmih kah lungnah neh, amih taengah nangmih yueng la kaimih kah hoemdamnah te hlangboel kah maelhmai dongah a mingpha la tueng coeng.
