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.

¹But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies 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.

²that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their [free-hearted] 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, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing 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.

⁴begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] 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 not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.

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.

⁶So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to 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 even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may 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 do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness 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 for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched.

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 I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.

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 also complete the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have.

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 be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has 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 [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,

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 [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should 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.

¹⁵According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.

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 gives the same diligent zeal for you in 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 received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;

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.

¹⁸but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;

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 [is] also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and [a witness of] 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 one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered 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 provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before 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 often proved to be of diligent zeal in many things, and now more diligently zealous through the great confidence [he has] as to 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 as regards Titus, [he is] my companion and fellow-labourer in your behalf; or our brethren, [they are] deputed messengers of assemblies, Christ's glory.

²⁴Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.
