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 your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them.

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.

³But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:

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 by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence.

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.

⁵I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.

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 that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

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

⁷[Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: 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 unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto 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;

⁹as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.

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

¹⁰And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, 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.

¹¹ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

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

¹²For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through 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;

¹³seeing that through the proving [of you] by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of [your] contribution unto them and unto all;

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;

¹⁴while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of 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 to God for his unspeakable gift.

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