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.

¹Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;

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.

²how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

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.

³For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, [they gave] of their own accord,

⁴Merapi' mpu'u-ra bona kana kipiliu wo'o-ra-rawo mpewai' doi petulungi-ra hi to Kristen to hi tana' Yudea.

⁴beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:

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'.

⁵and [this], not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

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.

⁶Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you 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.

⁷But as ye abound in everything, [in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all earnestness, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.

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.

⁸I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

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'.

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 become rich.

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.

¹⁰And herein I give [my] judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.

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.

¹¹But now complete the doing also; that as [there was] the readiness to will, so [there may be] the completion also out of your ability.

¹³Bela patuju-ku mpopokoloi-koi to motomo alaa-na nakakurai' -koi, pai' tau ntani' -na morasi'. Patuju-ku bona hibaa-balia katuwu' -ni.

¹²For if the readiness is there, [it is] acceptable according as [a man] hath, not according as [he] hath not.

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.

¹³For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed;

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."

¹⁴but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality:

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.

¹⁵as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [gathered] little had no lack.

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.

¹⁶But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.

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'.

¹⁷For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord.

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.

¹⁸And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is spread] through all the churches;

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.

¹⁹and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in [the matter of] this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and [to show] our readiness:

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.

²⁰Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in [the matter of] this bounty which is ministered by us:

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.

²¹for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

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.

²²and we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which [he hath] in you.

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.

²³Whether [any inquire] about Titus, [he is] my partner and [my] fellow-worker to you-ward, or our brethren, [they are] the messengers of the churches, [they are] the glory of Christ.

²⁴Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.
