¹Chi mai trobul te tradav tumenge lil ai te mothav tumenge pa zhutimos kai si tradino ka narodo le Devlesko kai si ande Judea.

¹For, indeed, concerning the ministration that [is] for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you,

²Zhanav ke tume drago tumenge te zhutin, ai luvudisardem tume angla narodo kai si ande Macedonia. Ai phendem lenge, "Le phral kai si ande Gretsia, gatale te zhutin de katar o bersh kai nakhlo." Tume kai drago tumenge te zhutin dia zor ka but anda lende.

²for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more part,

³Tradav tumenge kadala phralen, saxke o luvudimos kai kerdiam pa tumende ande kadia diela te na rimolpe, mangav te aven chaches gata sar phendem.

³and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, ye may be ready,

⁴Te na nichi, o narodo kai si ande Macedonia te avena mansa ai te na arakhena tumen gata, lazhav avela amenge, ke ame kai jinasas pe tumende te aven gata, ai savestar lazhav avela tumenge.

⁴lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you unprepared, we — we may be put to shame (that we say not — ye) in this same confidence of boasting.

⁵No haliardem te mangav kadale phralen te zhan tumende mai anglal mandar te lasharen e podarka kai shinadian vunzhe, ai kadia avela gata kana avava, ai kodia sikavela ke tume den tumare ilesa, ai na bi lesko.

⁵Necessary, therefore, I thought [it] to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.

⁶Den tume goji, kodo kai bariarel xantsi chidela xantsi, ai kodo kai bariarel but chidela but.

⁶And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also shall reap;

⁷Trobul swako manush te del, sar haliarel ande pesko ilo, ai na te mothol sostar dem, vai musai sas leske te del; ke O Del drago leske kodo kai del raduimasa.

⁷each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love,

⁸Ai O Del si les e putiera te del tume but lashimata, saxke te avel tume sagda so trobul tume, ai mai but opral pala mishtimos kai keren.

⁸and God [is] able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

⁹Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "O Del del but kal chorhe; lesko lashimos shoxar chi getolpe."

⁹(according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,`)

¹⁰O Del, kai del sumuntsa kodoles kai shudel e sumuntsa ai manrho te pravardiol, dela tume sa e sumuntsa kai trobul tumen ai kerela te butiarela, ai butiol e fruta tumare chachimaski.

¹⁰and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

¹¹Kerela tumen te aven barvale ande swako vriama, saxke sagda te zhutin, ai kadia but naisina le Devles anda tumare podarki kai das le ame.

¹¹in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,

¹²Ke kado zhutimos kai keren chi ferdi zhutil le Devleske narodos, numa kerela but rhugimata ai naisimata le Devleske.

¹²because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

¹³Kodo zhutimos sikavela so san, ai kadia but luvudina le Devles ke dikhena sar sikaven tumaro pachamos ande lashi viasta le Kristoski, ai luvudina les, vi sar hulaven dragosa tumaro mishtimos lensa, ai vi le kolavrensa.

¹³through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all,

¹⁴Ai rhugin tumenge, ai avena lenge drago katar o lashimos o baro kai O Del shordia pe tumende.

¹⁴and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you;

¹⁵Luvudime te avel O Del anda peski bari podarka!

¹⁵thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift!
