¹Ane kakoo-kono-na, uma mingki' ku'uki' -kokoi ba napa-napa mpokahangai' doi to kikeni mpai' hilou hi tana' Yudea toi-e.

¹For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:

²Ku'inca ami' -mi kadoko' -ni lia metulungi-- baa' ku'une' ami' -madakoi hi to Makedonia-e, ku'uli' -raka: "Ane ompi' -ta to hi tana' Akhaya-le, ngkai mpae to liu-ramo-rana sadia mpewai' doi petulungi-ra." Jadi', mpo'epe kamongura nono-ni mewai' toe-di, te'apui wo'o-rawo nono-ra to Makedonia, alaa-na wori' -ra to doko' mewai'.

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.

³Aga nau' wae, ku'uli' agina kuhubui mperi'ulu-ramo hira' Titus tilou hi koi', bona hira' -mi mpotulungi-koi mpo'atoro' pewai' -ni toe. Jadi', kusarumaka ane rata wo'o-apa-kuwo mpai', kurata-koi rodo mpu'u-mi, apa' mpolia' ku'uli' -miraka to Makedonia karodo-nimi hi retu. Nee-neo' mpai' napa to ku'une' -kokoi toe, boa' -wadi.

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:

⁴Apa' ane ria-ra mpai' to Makedonia to mpo'emai' -a tilou, pai' ane rapa' -na ko'ia terumpu doi petulungi-ni tetu-e, uma mpai' mowo ea' -kai, apa' mpolia' ki'une' -mokoie. Koi' wo'o mpai' me'ea' ompi'.

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.

⁵Toe pai' ku'uli' agina kuhubui mperi'ulu-ramo hira' Titus tilou, bona ra'atoro' ami' -mi doi pewai' to nijanci-mi. Jadi', ane rata-apa mpai', rodo-mi omea. Ngkai ree mpai', monoto-mi kamewai' -ni ngkai kabula nono-ni, uma baha raparuku.

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.

⁶Penonoi lolita tohe'i: To mohawu' hangkedi', hangkedi' wo'o-wadi-hawo to napepae. To mohawu' wori', wori' wo'o-hawo to napepae.

⁶But this [I say,] He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

⁷Agina butu dua-na mewai' ntuku' kabula nono-na moto-hawo. Neo' mewai' hante susa' nono, neo' mewai' baha raparuku. Apa' Alata'ala mpoka'ahi' tauna to mewai' hante kagoe' nono.

⁷[Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

⁸Mobaraka' lia-i mpowai' -koi hawe'ea rasi', duu' -na uma ria kakuraa' -ni ba napa-napa, mporata-koi hawe'ea to niparaluu ngkai Alata'ala. Patuju-na mpowai' -koi rasi' toe, bona nipakule' mpobago butu nyala pobago to lompe' mpotulungi doo.

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:

⁹Hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi: Alata'ala mpobagi rasi' hi tauna to mpe'ahii'. Kalompe' nono-na uma ria kahudua-na."

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

¹⁰Alata'ala mpowai' hawua' hi topohawu', pai' nawai' -ta wua' polia' -ta jadi' pongkoni' -ta. Hewa toe wo'o mpai' Alata'ala mpogane' pewai' to niwai' -raka doo, bona kalompe' nono-ni toe mowua' wori'.

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:

¹¹Napoporasi' -koi mpai' hante butu nyala rasi', bona manara oa' -koi hi doo. Jadi', ane kikeni mpai' pewai' -ni hilou hi doo-ta to mpe'ahii' tuwu' -ra hi tana' Yudea-e, wori' tauna mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala.

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

¹²Pobago-ni to lompe' tohe'i mpai' mpo'ihii' kakuraa' -ra topetuku' Pue' to hi ria. Pai' uma muntu' toe, ngkai pobago-ni to lompe' toi, wori' tauna mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala.

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;

¹³Ane doo-ta to Yudea toera ria mpohilo pewai' -ni toi mpai', bate mpo'une' Alata'ala-ramo, apa' rahilo kamakono-na pepangala' -ni hi Kareba Kristus, pai' pengkoru-ni hi hawa' -na. Mpo'une' Alata'ala-ramo mpai', apa' manara mpu'u-koi mpobagi rewa-ni hi hira' pai' hi tau ntani' -na.

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;

¹⁴Pai' hira' wo'o-rawo mpekakae-kokoi hante nono to ma'ahi', apa' bohe mpu'u ahi' Alata'ala to mobago hi rala katuwu' -ni.

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

¹⁵Natao lia-ta mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, apa' uma hudu ta'uli' kabohe pewai' -na hi kita'!

¹⁵Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
