Men Korint II 8
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
Berean Standard Bible
1RI ai kan, je men padaki on komail duen mak en Kot en momodijou en Majetonien akan, duen ar kikiwei;
1Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of Macedonia.
2Pwe ar kalokolok meid laud, o irail pil meid jamama, ari jo, mepukat imwilan peren o mairon laud,
2In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
3Pwe ai kadede irail, me re kida duen me re kak on o laude juri.
3For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,
4Pein irail inon ion ap nidenideki on kit, en ale ar kijakij, o ar ian jauaja kijakij wet on jaraui kan.
4they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.
5O re wiadar mepukat, kaidin duen at kaporoporeki, a re ki on Kaun o pein irail maj, ap pil on kit pan kupur en Kot.
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.
6Kit ari panaui Tituj en kanikiela mak wet re omail duen a tapiadar maj o.
6So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.
7A duen omail kapwapwaki jon karoj: Ni pojon o majan, o lolekon, o porijok, o omail limpok on kit, iduen komail pil inon ion, en kapwapwa ni mak wet.
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.
8I indai on komail met, kaidin kujoned eu, a pweki porijok en me tei kan, o i kin kajonejon omail limpok, ma a pun de jo.
8I am not making a demand, but I am testing the sincerity of your love in comparison to the earnestness of others.
9Pwe komail ajaer mak en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj, duen a kapwapwa, ap jamamalar pweki komail, pwe komail en kapwapwa kila i.
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.
10A iet ai lamelam me i men kajaleda, a meid katepa on komail, pwe komail tapiadar inon ion ap pil kapwaiada dodok mau wet ni par jamalar.
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.
11Komail ari kanikiela dodok wet, pwe duen omail men ian onop, iduen komail en wiada jan ni omail kapwapwa.
11Now finish the work, so that you may complete it just as eagerly as you began, according to your means.
12A ma amen inon ion, ian dodok wet, a pan konekonela duen me a pan kak on, kaidin duen me a jota kak on.
12For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
13Pwe irail ender mararaki, a komail id toutouki; a karoj en parok pena.
13It is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality.
14Pwe anjau wet omail kapwapwa en kaitar arail jamama, a arail kapwapwa en kaitar omail jamama, pwe karoj en parok pena.
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.
15Duen a intintidier: Me rik penaer mo toto, a jota men nak, o me rik penaer me malaulau, a jota kin dupok.
15As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
16Danke on Kot, me kotin kainon ion monion en Tituj;
16But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you.
17Pwe a duki on at poeki, a pil pein i inon ion madan pwar won komail.
17For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition.
18A kit pil kadar wei ri atail ol ian i, me indandeki a padaki wei ronamau ni momodijou kan karoj.
18Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel.
19A kaidin i eta, pwe momodijou kan pil piladar i, en ian kit papaki mak wet, me kit kin apapwali on kalinanada Kaun o kapina omail inon ion mau.
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.
20Kanakanai on, pwe amen de kajapune kin kit at paki kijakij laud wet,
20We hope to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.
21Kit pil kin majamajan, pwe karoj en inen, kaidin mon Kaun eta, pwe pil mon aramaj akan.
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.
22A kit kadar ir wei ianaki ri atail o, me diarokadar ni jon toto, me a porijok, a anjau wet a porijok jan maj ni a liki komail.
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.
23Ari, ma amen pan idok duen Tituj, i ai warok o jauaja pai re omail; a duen ri atail akan, irail me men en kadar en momodijou kan o linan en Krijtuj.
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.
24Komail ari kajanjale on irail mon momodijou kan omail limpok ni omail apapwali irail duen i kapina kin komail.
24In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.
