¹For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

¹Misiangthoute adia thilpiak thu jaw na kiang uah ka gelh a kiphamoh kei:

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.

²Na kimandan uh ka thei ngala, huailam thu ah jaw, kum khat a hita Akhaia gam thu kimansain a omta, chiin, Masidonia gama mite kiangah ka honsuang jela; huchiin, na phattuamngaihna un a lak ua mi tampi a tokhalhta hi.

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:

³Hiamahleh, huailam thu ah jaw kon suanna bangmah lou a honghih louhna dingin unaute ka hoh sak jela, ka gen bang taka kimansaa nana om theihna ding un.

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.

⁴Huchilou injaw, Masidonia gama mi kuate hiamin honzuih zenzen uleh, kimansa loua honmuh ua leh, kou-nou kon chi kei uh-hiai kon ginna uh lamah ka zahlak kha ding uh.

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.

⁵Huaijiakin, unaute bel nou kianga hong masaa, hoih taka thilpiak na chiam kholhte uh na bawl khol dinga, nget kiphamohin ka gingta hi, huai tuh laksak teitei bang hi loua, phal taka piak bang jawin mansaa na omna ding un.

⁶But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

⁶Ahihhangin huailam thu ah jaw, theh tawmin a at tawm nading, theh tamin a at tam nading hi.

⁷Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁷Mi chihin it pipi-a pe louin, piak louh theih louh banga leng ngaihtuaha pe tuan louin, a lungtang ua a tup bang jel un pe chiat heh; Pathianin kipak taka pe mi ahi, a it.

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:

⁸Huan, Pathianin hehpihna chitengin na tunguah a vukthei ahi; huchiin, nou bangkim ah a hun ngail nei gigein, nasep hoih chiteng adingin na hau thei ding uhi;

⁹(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

⁹A hawm jaka; gentheite kiangah a piaa; a diktatna khantawnin a om gige, chih gelh bangin.

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;)

¹⁰Huan, thehpa kianga a chi pepa leh nek dinga tanghou pepan na theh ding uh chi tuh a honpe dia a hon hihpung sak dinga, na diktanna gahte uh leng a honhih pung sak ding.

¹¹Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

¹¹Thilphalna chiteng, kou jiaka Pathian kianga kipahthu genna pen nei dinga, bangkima hih hauha omin,

¹²For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

¹²Hiai sepsakna nain misiangthoute taksapna awng te a huksak kia leng ahi keia, Pathian kianga kipahthu genna tampi hiin, a luang let nalai ahi;

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;

¹³Hiai nasepnaa etkhiak a om in Kris Tanchin Hoih lama na thugin uh na zuih dan thu uleh, amau ading leh mi tengteng adia thilpiaka na thil phaldan un Pathian na hihthupi ding uh ahi;

¹⁴And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

¹⁴Amau ngeiin leng na tung ua Pathian hehpihna thupi mahmah jiakin, nou adia thum sak kawmin a honngai ngail uhi.A thilpiak gen zohvual louh jiakin Pathian kiangah kipahthu om hen.

¹⁵Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

¹⁵A thilpiak gen zohvual louh jiakin Pathian kiangah kipahthu om hen.
