¹For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.

¹ Hanantey gaakasina ciine ra, manti tilas no ay ma hantum araŋ se,

²For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].

² zama ay g'araŋ anniya bay. A se no ay ga fooma nd'araŋ Masidoniya borey jine ka ne: Akaya waney na ngey soola te za manaŋ. Araŋ anniya mo n'i borey baayaŋ no kookari.

³But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;

³ Amma ay ga nya-izey din donton hal a ma si koy te iri fooma kaŋ iri te araŋ boŋ, i m'a gar yaamo sanno wo ra, hala mo mate kaŋ cine ay n'a ci d'a, araŋ ma bara soolante.

⁴lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, *we*, that we say not *ye*, may be put to shame in this confidence.

⁴ A ma si ciya, da Masidoniya boro fooyaŋ kaa ay banda, i m'araŋ gar araŋ mana soola jina. Yaadin gaa haawi g'iri di naanayo wo sabbay se, sanku fa binde araŋ!

⁵I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.

⁵ Ay di mo kaŋ a ga hagu ay ma nya-izey yaamar i ma gana ka koy araŋ do jina, i ma nooyaŋ yulwante margu kaŋ araŋ jin k'a alkawlo sambu. Yaadin gaa no a ga bara soolante, gomni hari no, manti tilas wane no.

⁶But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:

⁶ Wa fongu woone gaa: Boro kaŋ ga duma nda kamba sanday, kayna no a ga wi. Boro kaŋ ga duma nda albarka, a ga wi mo da albarka.

⁷each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

⁷ Boro kulu ma te mate kaŋ cine a miila nga bina ra, manti nda bine saray, manti mo da tilas. Zama Irikoy ga ba nooko kaŋ g'a te da bine kaani.

⁸But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:

⁸ Irikoy gonda dabari mo kaŋ ga naŋ gomni kulu ma yulwa araŋ se, hal alwaati kulu hay kulu ra araŋ ma bara nda haŋ kaŋ ga wasa k'araŋ muraadey feeri, hala mo araŋ ma yulwa ka tonton goy hanno kulu teeyaŋ ra.

⁹according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever.

⁹ Mate kaŋ i n'a hantum ka ne: «A zaban ka no alfukaarey se, a adilitara ga duumi hal abada.»

¹⁰Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:

¹⁰ Nga kaŋ ga dumi no dumako se, da ŋwaari mo kaŋ a ga ŋwa, yaadin no a ga dumi no araŋ se, ka naŋ a ma baa dumayaŋ se, a g'araŋ adilitara albarka tonton mo.

¹¹enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.

¹¹ Araŋ ga goro nda arzaka hay kulu ra hal araŋ ma du ka nooyaŋ kulu dumi no da bine folloŋ. Woodin mo ga naŋ i ma Irikoy saabu iri do.

¹²Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;

¹² Zama gaakasino wo teeyaŋo, manti hanantey jaŋa hinne no a ga kaa bo, amma a ga tonton ka naŋ boro boobo ma Irikoy saabu gumo.

¹³they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;

¹³ Gaakasino wo teeyaŋo g'araŋ alhaalo cabe kaŋ ga naŋ borey ma Irikoy beerandi araŋ ganayaŋo seeda se kaŋ araŋ te Almasihu Baaru Hanna se. I ga Irikoy beerandi mo da nooyaŋey kaŋ araŋ te da bine folloŋ i se da boro kulu se mo.

¹⁴and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you.

¹⁴ I ŋwaarayey mo kaŋ i ga te araŋ se ra, i ga faaji nd'araŋ Irikoy gomni beero sabbay se kaŋ go araŋ se.

¹⁵Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.

¹⁵ Iri ma Irikoy saabu a nooyaŋo se kaŋ sinda cine.
