Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
1Mwet lili ac lulu, kut kena kowos in etu ma orekla in church nukewa in acn Macedonia ke sripen lungkulang lun God nu selos.
2how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
2Srikeyuk elos ke mwe lokoalok ac mwe keok puspis. Ne ouinge, engan lalos arulana yohk, pwanang mwe sang lalos wi pac yohk, elos finne arulana sukasrup.
3For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
3Nga ku in fahk pwaye nu suwos lah elos sang ke kuiyalos nufon, ac yohk liki pac. Ke engan lalos sifacna,
4begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
4elos siyuk ac kwafe sesr in oasr kasru lalos nu sin mwet lun God in Judea.
5This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
5Ma elos oru inge alukela mwe finsrak lasr nu kac! Meet, elos eisalosyang sifacna nu sin Leum; ac toko, elos eisalosme pac nu sesr, fal nu ke lungse lun God.
6So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
6Ke ma inge kut kwafel Titus, su sramtauk orekma oa se inge inmasrlowos, elan tafwelana ac kasrekowos in aksafyela.
7But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.
7Kowos arulana kasrup in ouiya nukewa ma oasr yuruwos: in lulalfongi, in pah in sramsram, ac in etauk; oayapa ke kowos akola in kasru, ac ke lungse lowos nu sesr. Ke ma inge kut lungse kowos in oayapa etaten in orekma oa se inge.
8I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
8Nga tia oakiya ma sap nu suwos. Tusruktu ke nga fahkak lupan moniyuk lun mwet lulalfongi saya in kasru, nga srike in konauk lupan lungse pwaye lowos uh.
9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
9Kowos etu lah ke sripen lungkulang lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ, el ne arulana kasrup a el sifacna aksukasrupyal tuh kowos in ku in kasrupi.
10I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
10Pa inge nunak luk ke ma se inge: ac wo kowos in aksafyela inge ma kowos tuh mutawauk oru ke yac tari ah. Kowos pa sramtauk ouiya se inge, ac tia ma inge mukena a kowos tuh arulana engan in oru.
11But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
11Ke ma inge, kowos in oru na nwe ke na kowos aksafyela! Kowos in moniyuk in aksafyela oana ke kowos tuh moniyuk in lumahla, ac oru ke ma oasr yuruwos.
12For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.
12Kowos fin inse akola in sang, God El ac engan in eis mwe sang lowos, fal nu ke ma oasr yuruwos in sang, ac tia ke ma su wangin yuruwos.
13For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,
13Nga tia fahk mu in fisrasr nu sin mwet saya ac in toasr nu suwos,
14but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.
14a ke sripen oasr suna yuruwos ke pacl se inge, ac fal na kowos in kasrelos su muta in enenu. Na tok, pacl kowos enenu ac mau oasr suna yorolos, na elos fah kasrekowos. In ouiya se inge kowos nukewa akasrui oana sie.
15As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”
15Oana Ma Simusla uh fahk: “El su sifani yohk, wangin ma lula yorol; ac el su sifani srik, wangin enenu lal.”
16But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
16Kut kulo nu sin God lah El oru tuh Titus elan kena kasrekowos oana kut!
17For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
17Ke kut tuh siyuk elan kasru enenu lasr, el insese nu kac, tusruktu ke sripen lungse yohk lal el sifacna sulela elan fahsrot in kasre kowos.
18We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good News is known throughout all the assemblies.
18Ac kut oayapa supwaot, welul Titus, sie mwet wiasr su arulana lulalfongiyuk in church nukewa ke sripen orekma lal in fahkak Pweng Wo.
19Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
19Sayen ma ingan, el sulosolla ac srisrngiyuki in church puspis in wi kut fufahsryesr ke kut us mwe lung inge, su ma nu ke wolana lun Leum, ac mwe akkalemye lah kut lungse kasru.
20We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning this abundance which is administered by us.
20Kut arulana karinganang tuh in wangin kas in akkoluk lun mwet ke luman usyen mwe sang yohk lowos inge sesr.
21Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
21Kut kena oru ma suwohs, tia ye mutun Leum God mukena, a oayapa ye mutun mwet uh.
22We have sent with them our brother whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
22Ke ma inge kut supwaot sie mwet wiasr in welulos. Kut srikal pacl pus ac kut konauk lah el kena kasru pacl nukewa. Ac inge, ke oasr lulalfongi yohk lal keiwos, el akola tari elan akyokye orekma in kasru lal.
23As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
23Ac funu kacl Titus, el mwet wiyu orekma in kasrekowos. Ac ke mwet wiasr saya su ac welul fahsrot, elos aol kais sie church in fahkak wolana nu sin Christ.
24Therefore show the proof of your love to them before the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
24Akkalemye lungse lowos nu selos, tuh church nukewa fah akpwayei, ac etu lah pwaye sesr in konkin keiwos.
