King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
1A KA hoi, no ka manawalea ana i ka poe haipule, he mea hana wale ka'u ke palapala aku ia oukou.
2For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
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.
3Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
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:
4Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
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.
5Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
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.
6But this I say , He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
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;
7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
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.
8And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things , may abound to every good work:
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:
9(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
9Me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hooleilei aku la ia, ua haawi aku la ua ka poe ilihune: e mau loa ana kona pono.
10Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
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:
11Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
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.
12For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto 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;
13Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men ;
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;
14And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
14A i ka lakou pule ana no oukou, me ka makemake nui ia oukou no ka lokomaikai nui o ke Akua maluna o oukou.
15Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
15E alohaia'ku ke Akua no kona makana nui aole e hiki ke haiia'ku.
