And now we give you news, brothers, about the grace of God which has been given to the churches of Macedonia;
2 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᏓᎪᎵᏰᏍᎩ ᎠᏂᎩᎵᏲᎬ, ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᎾᎵᎮᎵᎬ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏲ ᏄᎾᏛᎿᎭᏕᎬ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏄᏩᏁᎸ ᏄᏂᎨᏳᎿᎭᎥᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.
How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others.
3 ᎦᏥᏲᎢᏳᏓᏁᎭᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᏚᎾᎵᏂᎬᎬ ᎢᏴᏛ, ᎥᎥ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᎶᏒᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᏂᎦᎾᎵᏂᎬᎬᎢ, ᎤᎾᎵᎦᏟᏴᎯᏉ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏖᏛ;
For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,
4 ᎤᏣᏘ ᎪᎩᏍᏗᏰᏗᏍᎬ ᎪᎩᏔᏲᏎᎲᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏂᏅᎯ ᏦᎦᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᎦᏖᏆᎶᏗᏱ ᏦᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ.
Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:
5 ᎠᎴ [ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᎾᏛᏁᎸᎩ ] ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎣᎬᏅᎢ, ᎢᎬᏱᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏅᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏚᎾᏓᏲᎯᏎᎸᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᏕᎪᎦᏓᏲᎯᏎᎸᎩ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎠᏰᎸᏍᎬ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅᎩ.
And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.
6 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏓᏓᏏ ᎣᏥᏔᏲᏎᎸᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᎴᏅᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏳᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᎤᏍᏆᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᏤᎲ ᎤᏠᏱ ᎢᏣᏓᏁᏗᏱ ᏂᏨᏁᎲᎢ.
So that we made a request to Titus that, as he had made a start before, so he might make this grace complete in you.
7 ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎤᏣᏘ ᏥᏥᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏙᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎢᏥᎦᎵᏴᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᏍᎩᎨᏳᎢᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏥᎮᏍᏗ.
And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.
8 ᎥᏝ ᏱᏥᏁᎦ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ, ᎠᏂᏐᎢᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᎾᎵᎦᎵᏴᏅ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᎪᎵᏰᏗᏱ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᎲ ᏄᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.
I am not giving you an order, but using the ready mind of others as a test of the quality of your love.
9 ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᎦᏤᎵᎦ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏪᎾᎢᏳ ᏥᎨᏎᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᏲ ᎢᏳᏛᎿᎭᏕᎩ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏲ ᎢᏳᏛᎿᎭᏕᎩ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᏂᎯ ᏗᏤᎿᎭᎢ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ.
For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.
10 ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎦᏓᏅᏖᏍᎬ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᎬᏁᎭ; ᎣᏏᏳᏰᏃ ᎢᎨᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏳᎳ ᎢᏣᎴᏅᏛ ᏥᎩ, ᎿᎭᏉ ᏑᏕᏘᏴᏛ, ᎥᏝ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎢᏥᏰᎸᏗᏱ.
And in this I give my opinion: for it is to your profit, who were the first to make a start a year before, not only to do this, but to make clear that your minds were more than ready to do it.
11 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᏥᏍᏆᏓ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏯᏛᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏥᎦᎵᏱᏳ ᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏣᏚᎸᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏄᏍᏕᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏍᏆᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎢᏨᏗᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎢᏥᎲᎢ.
Then make the doing of it complete; so that as you had a ready mind, you may give effect to it as you are able.
12 ᎢᏳᏰᏃ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎩᎶ ᏯᎦᎵᏴ ᏧᏓᏅᏛᎢ, ᏣᎦᏓᏂᎸᏤᏗ ᎨᏐ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᎲᎢ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᎲᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.
For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.
13 ᎥᏝ ᎠᏗᎾ ᏅᏩᎾᏓᎴ ᏗᎨᏥᎪᏗᏱ ᏂᎯᏃ ᎠᏍᏓᏯ ᎢᏰᏨᏁᏗᏱ ᏱᎦᏗᎭ;
And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:
14 ᎢᎬᏩᏍᏗᎭᏍᎩᏂ [ ᎢᏥᏗᏱ; ] ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏥᎲ ᏱᏗᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᎭ ᎤᏂᏂᎬᏎᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᏂᎲ ᎨᏥᏍᏕᎸᏗᏱ ᎢᏥᏂᎬᏎᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎬᏩᏍᏗᎭ ᎢᏥᏗᏱ.
But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.
15 ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᎬᏅ ᏥᎪᏪᎳ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎪᏗ ᎤᏭᏖᏛ ᎥᏝ ᏳᏘᏰᎮᎢ; ᎾᏃ ᎦᏲᎵ ᎤᏭᏖᏛ ᎥᏝ ᏳᎷᎶᏤᎮᎢ.
As it says in the Writings, He who had taken up much had nothing over and he who had little had enough.
16 ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎵᎮᎵᏤᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏓᏓᏏ ᎤᎾᏫᏱ ᏧᎳᏁᎸ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᎢ ᏗᏤᎷᎢᏍᏗᏱ.
But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.
17 ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏰᏃ ᏚᏓᏂᎸᏨᎩ ᏥᏬᏁᏔᏅᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎤᏟᎯᏳ ᏄᎵᎦᎵᏴᏒ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅᎩ, ᎤᏩᏒᏉ ᎤᏓᏅᏖᏛ ᎢᏥᏩᏛᎲᏒᎩ.
For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.
18 ᎠᎴ ᏱᏥᏅᎵ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏁᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᏂᎬᎾᏛ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎬᏩᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏥᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᏥᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ;
And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;
19 ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ ᏱᏂᎦᎥ, ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᎬᏩᏑᏰᏒᎩ ᎠᏴ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎣᎨᏅᏍᏗᏱ ᎣᎩᏴᏍᏗᏱ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᏁᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏙᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎭ, ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏩᏒ, ᎠᎴ [ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏩᏁᏗᏱ ] ᎢᏣᎵᎦᎵᏴᏒ ᏙᏗᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ;
And not only so, but he was marked out by the churches to go with us in the grace of this giving which we have undertaken to the glory of the Lord and to make clear that our mind was ready:
20 ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏥᏲᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎩᎶ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎪᎨᎵᏎᏗᏱ ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎣᎬᏁᏗ ᏥᏂᎦᎵᏍᏗᎭ;
And so that no man might be able to say anything against us in the business of this giving which has been put into our hands:
21 ᎢᎬᏱ ᎦᏰᎯ ᎣᏣᎦᏌᏯᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎠᏰᎸᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎥᏝ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯᏉ ᎠᎦᏔᎲᎢ, ᏴᏫᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎲᎢ.
For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.
22 ᎠᎴ ᎣᏥᏅᎵ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎠᏁᎩ ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏩᎫᏘᎶᏛ ᎣᏥᎪᎵᏰᏛ ᎣᎦᏙᎴᎰᏒᎯ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᎦᎵᏱᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏟ ᎾᎦᎵᏴ, ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ.
And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.
23 ᏓᏓᏏᏃ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎣᎩᎾᎵᎪᎯ ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᏦᎩᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ ᏂᎯ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏨᏯᏛᏁᎲᎢ; ᎣᏣᎵᏅᏟᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒ ᎬᏩᏂᏅᏏᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎢᏯᏅᏁᎯ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ.
If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.
24 ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎲ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒᎢ, ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏕᏨᏁᎸᎭ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏤᎲᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᎦᏢᏆᏒ ᏂᎯ ᎢᏨᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎠᏎᏉ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏒᎢ.
Make clear then to them, as representatives of the churches, the quality of your love, and that the things which we have said about you are true.
