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

¹It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service to the saints,

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.

²for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

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.

³But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,

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.

⁴so that I won’t by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confident boasting.

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.

⁵I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.

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

⁶Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

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.

⁷Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver.

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;

⁸And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

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

⁹As it is written, “He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” Psalm 112:9

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.

¹⁰Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

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

¹¹you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to 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;

¹²For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;

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;

¹³seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;

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.

¹⁴while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.

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

¹⁵Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
