1Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
1Kakaliliua-na ompi', doko' ki'uli' -kokoi napa to jadi' hi rehe'i lau hi tana' Makedonia. Bohe petulungi-na Pue' hi ompi' hampepangalaa' -ni to Makedonia.
2How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
2Mporata-ra pesori pai' kaparia to motomo lia. Aga hi rala kaparia-ra toe, goe' lia moto-ra. Pai' nau' mpe'ahii' moto tuwu' -ra, uma hangkedi' doi petulungi-ra to rapewai' mpotulungi doo-ra.
3For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
3Kuhilo moto beiwa kabohe nono-ra mewai'. Mewai' -ra ntuku' pakulea' -ra, ba melabi tena ngkai pakulea' -ra. Uma ria to mpewuku-ra, kabula nono-ra moto-rawo.
4Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
4Merapi' mpu'u-ra bona kana kipiliu wo'o-ra-rawo mpewai' doi petulungi-ra hi to Kristen to hi tana' Yudea.
5And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
5Pewai' -ra toe, meliu ngkai to kisarumaka. Uma muntu' doi to rapewai'. Lomo' -lomo' -na mpewai' -ra nono-ra moto hi Pue' Ala. Mengkoru-ra hi konoa Pue', pai' hi kai' wo'o apa' lawi' toe konoa Pue'.
6Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
6Jadi', mpohilo kalompe' nono-ra to Makedonia toe-e, toe pai' mohawa' -kai hi rehe'i mpopahawa' wo'o-imi Titus tilou hi koi' ompi'. Hi'a moto-mi wengi to lomo' -na mpotulungi-koi mporumpu doi to doko' nipakatu hilou hi tana' Yudea. Jadi', toe pai' hi'a wo'o-mi to kihubui tilou mpaliliu pobago to lompe' toe hi laintongo' -ni.
7Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
7Ompi' -ompi', hi rala petuku' -ni hi Alata'ala, uma ria kakuraa' -ni: bohe pepangala' -ni, ni'inca tudui' to makono pai' ni'inca mpotudui' doo, wori' bago-ni mpotulungi doo, bohe ahi' -ni hi kai'. Toe-mi ompi' pai' kuperapi' bona neo' mpai' ria kakuraa' -ni hi rala pobago-ni mpotulungi doo to mpe'ahii' hi tana' Yudea.
8I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
8Uma ku'uli' -kokoi tohe'i hewa lolita hawa'. Patuju-ku doko' mpopo'incai-koi beiwa kabohe ahi' -ra to Makedonia mpewai' doi petulungi-ra hi doo, bona kuhilo rata hiapa wo'o-koiwo ahi' -ni.
9For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
9Uma mingki' kupahawa' -koi ompi', apa' ni'inca moto-mi kabohe petulungi-na Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus. Bohe katuwu' -na, tapi' ngkai pe'ahi' -na hi kita', nabahaka omea-mi bona mpotulungi-ta. Napakadingki' katuwu' -na jadi' manusia', bona kita' ma'ala mporata kabohea tuwu'.
10And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11Jadi', tohe'i-mi lolita-ku ompi': ohea-na lia-mi ane nipohudu lau bago to nitepu'u-mi hi mpae to liu, apa' lawi' koi' -mi ompi' to lomo' -na doko' mporumpu doi petulungi-ni toe-e, pai' koi' wo'o-mi to lomo' -na mpotepu'u mporumpu doi toi. Jadi', hewa kabaka' -ni mohawa' wengi, kusarumaka bate toe wo'o mpai' kabaka' -ni mpokaliliu bago toi rata hiapa pakulea' -ni.
11Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12Apa' ane ria nono-ta mewai', pai' -ta mewai' ntuku' napa-hawo to ria hi kita', goe' -i Alata'ala mpodoa pewai' -ta toe. Uma-i mperapi' pewai' to meliu ngkai pakulea' -ta.
12For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13Bela patuju-ku mpopokoloi-koi to motomo alaa-na nakakurai' -koi, pai' tau ntani' -na morasi'. Patuju-ku bona hibaa-balia katuwu' -ni.
13For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14Tempo toi, apa' lawi' hono' hi koi', toto-na moto-mi ane koi' mpohonoi' kakuraa' -ra to hi tana' Yudea. Pai' ane rapa' -na ria wo'o-pi-koiwo kakuraa' -ni, hira' wo'o-mi-rawo mpai' mpo'ihii' -koi. Jadi' ane hewa toe-mi mpai' po'ingku-ni himpau momepewili', uma mpai' ria to nakakurai', hibaa-balia katuwu' -ni.
14But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
15Tohe'i hewa lolita Buku Tomoroli' owi to mpo'uli': Tauna to mporumpu wori', uma ria pelabia-na. Pai' tauna to mporumpu hangkedi', uma wo'o-i-hawo naka'otii."
15As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
16Ku'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, apa' Hi'a to mobago hi rala nono-na Titus alaa-na ria mpu'u nono-na doko' mpotulungi-koi. Nono-na Titus doko' mpotulungi-koi toe hibalia hante nono-kai kai' wo'o.
16But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17Kipekune' -i: "Dota-ko kihubui hilou hi Korintus mpotulungi-ra mpo'urusi pomporumpu-ra doi toe-e?" Natompoi': "Dota moto-a!" Meliu ngkai toe, ngkai konoa-na moto wo'o-hawo, ria ami' -mi hi nono-na doko' mpencuai' -koi.
17For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18Dohe Titus, kihubui wo'o hadua ompi' -ta tilou. Hawe'ea topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus mpo'une' ompi' -ta toii ngkai pobago-na mpokeni Kareba Lompe'.
18And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
19Uma muntu' toe, hawe'ea to Kristen hi rehe'i lau tungkai' mpopelihi-i bona hi'a to mpodohei-kai hi pomakoa' -kai mpai' hilou hi tana' Yudea, mpokeni doi pewai' -ni hilou hi ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta hi ria to hi rala kasusaa'. Apa' patuju pomako' -kai toi-e, bona hanga' Pue' rapomobohe, pai' bona ompi' -ta to hi Yudea mpohilo kamoroli' nono-ta mpotulungi-ra.
19And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
20Patuju-kai mpohubui ompi' -ta to hadua toii tilou dohe Titus, apa' doko' kipelompehi bona neo' mpai' ria to mpo'uli' uma monoa' po'ingku-kai hi pongkeni-kai pewai' to bohe toi.
20Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21Toe pai' ki'atoro' ami' kahema-ra doo-kai hi pomakoa' -kai toi-e, bona monoto kamonoa' po'ingku-kai, uma muntu' hi poncilo Pue', hi poncilo manusia' wo'o.
21Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22Jadi', dohe Titus pai' ompi' -ta to hadua toei-e we'i, ria wo'o hadua-pi to kihubui tilou. Ompi' -ta tohe'ii, wori' ngkani-mi kihilo po'ingku-na hi rala wori' nyala bago, pai' ki'inca kabaka' -na mpongawa' pobago Pue'. Pai' wae lau, doko' mpu'u-i mpotulungi-koi to hi Korintus mpo'urusi pomporumpu-ni doi toi, apa' nasarumaka lia-koi.
22And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23Ane Titus-hana, ema' hampobagoa-ku to kuhubui tilou mpotulungi-koi. Ane doo-na to rodua to mpo'emai' -i tilou-e, tauna to tungkai' rasuro to Kristen hi rehe'i lau mpo'urusi porumpu doi toi. Kehi-ra mpomobohe hanga' Kristus.
23Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24Jadi', kuperapi' bona nitarima lompe' -ra-rawo, pai' nipopohiloi-ra ahi' -ni, bona hawe'ea to Kristen mpo'inca kama'ahi' -ni pai' ra'inca wo'o kamakono-na lolita pe'une' -kai mpo'une' -koi.
24Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
