Korineto II. 9
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A KA hoi, no ka manawalea ana i ka poe haipule, he mea hana wale ka'u ke palapala aku ia oukou.
1Now about the service to the saints, there is no need for me to write to you.
2No 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.
2For I know your eagerness to help, and I have been boasting to the Macedonians that since last year you in Achaia were prepared to give. And your zeal has stirred most of them to do likewise.
3Aka, 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:
3But I am sending the brothers in order that our boasting about you in this matter should not prove empty, but that you will be prepared, just as I said.
4Malia 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.
4Otherwise, if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—to say nothing of you—would be ashamed of having been so confident.
5No 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.
5So I thought it necessary to urge the brothers to visit you beforehand and make arrangements for the bountiful gift you had promised. This way, your gift will be prepared generously and not begrudgingly.
6O 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;
6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7E 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.
7Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver.
8A 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:
8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
9Me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hooleilei aku la ia, ua haawi aku la ua ka poe ilihune: e mau loa ana kona pono.
9As it is written: “He has scattered abroad His gifts to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”
10A 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:
10Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.
11I 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.
11You will be enriched in every way to be generous on every occasion, so that through us your giving will produce thanksgiving to God.
12No 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;
12For this ministry of service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
13No 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;
13Because of the proof this ministry provides, the saints will glorify God for your obedient confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all the others.
14A i ka lakou pule ana no oukou, me ka makemake nui ia oukou no ka lokomaikai nui o ke Akua maluna o oukou.
14And their prayers for you will express their affection for you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
15E alohaia'ku ke Akua no kona makana nui aole e hiki ke haiia'ku.
15Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
