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

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

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 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.

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 brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you 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'.

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.

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 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.

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

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

⁷Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves 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 to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to 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 has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” Psalm 112:9

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'.

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;

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.

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

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 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;

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, yearn for 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'!

¹⁵Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
