2 Corinthians 8
1 But we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;
E NA hoahanau, ke hoike aku nei makou ia oukou i ka lokomaikai o ke Akua i haawiia mai i na ekalesia o Makedonia;
2 that 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.
Ia lakou i hoao nui ia mai ai i ka hoino, mahuahua iho la ko lakou olioli, a i ko lakou ilihune loa, mahuahua iho la ko lakou manawalea ana aku.
3 For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord,
No ka mea, ua ike maka au, e like me ko lakou Iako, a nui loa aku, no ko lakou makemake iho,
4 begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints.
Koi ikaika mai la lakou me ke noi mai ia makou, na makou no e malama i ka haawina, a e lawe pu i manawalea na ka poe haipule.
5 And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God's will.
Aole nae i like me ko makou manao, aka, haawi e aku la lakou mamna ia lakou iho no ka Haku, a no makou hoi, ma ka makemake o ke Akua.
6 So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also;
No ia mea, ua noi aku makou ia Tito; e like me kana i hoomaka'i, pela no hoi oia e hoopau ai i keia haawina mawaena o oukou.
7 but 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.
No ia hoi, no ko oukou mahuahua ana i na inea a pau, i ka manaoio, i ka olelo, i ka ike, i ka ikaika a pau, a me ko oukou aloha mai ia makou; i mahuahua hoi oukou i keia lokomaikai ana'ku.
8 I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love.
Aole au e olelo aku ma ke kanoha, aka, no ka ikaika o kekahi poe, a e hoao hoi i ka oiaio o ko oukou aloha.
9 For 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.
No ka mea, ua ike no oukou i ka lokomaikai o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo, ua waiwai oia, a no oukou i lilo mai ai ia i mea ilihune, i waiwai ai hoi oukou ma kona ilihune.
10 And 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.
Ke hai aku nei au i kun manao i keia mea; he mea pono keia no oukou ka poe i hoomaka, aole i ka hana wale no, aka, i ka makemake hoi i kela makahiki mamua.
11 But 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.
Ano hoi, e hooko oukou i ka hana ana ia mea; e like me ko oukou manao makemake, pela hoi e hooko ai ma ka oukou i loaa mai.
12 For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not.
No ka mea, a i loaa ka manao makemake, ua maliuia mai ia ma ka mea i loaa ia ia, aole ma ka mea i loaa ole.
13 For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress,
Aole o'u makemake e mama na mea e ae, a e kaumaha oukou:
14 but [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.
Aka, i like, i neia manawa e kokua aku ko oukou waiwai i ko lakou ilihune, i kokua mai hoi ko lakou waiwai i ko oukou ilihune, i like pu:
15 According as it is written, He who [gathered] much had no excess, and he who [gathered] little was nothing short.
E like me ka mea i palapalaia, o ka mea i hoiliili nui, aohe mea i oi aku nana; a o ka mea i hoiliili liilii, aole i emi kana.
16 But thanks [be] to God, who gives the same diligent zeal for you in the heart of Titus.
E alohaia ke Akua nana i haawi mai keia manao ikaika iloko o ka naau o Tito no oukou.
17 For he received indeed the entreaty, but, being full of zeal, he went of his own accord to you;
No ka mea, ua hoolohe mai la ia i ka olelo hooikaika; aka, i ka oi ana aku o kona ikaika, hele aku la ia io oukou la ma kona manao iho.
18 but we have sent with him the brother whose praise [is] in the glad tidings through all the assemblies;
A ua hoouna pu aku la makou me ia i ka hoahanau, nona ka hoomaikaiia mai ma na ekalesia a pau, no ka euanelio.
19 and 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;
Aole keia wale no, aka, ua waeia hoi oia e na ekalesia i hoahele no makou me keia haawina i laweia e makou no ka nani o ka Haku, a me ka hoike ana'ku i ko oukou lokomaikai.
20 avoiding this, that any one should blame us in this abundance [which is] administered by us;
E makaala'na i keia, o olelo ino ia mai makou e kekahi i keia mea nui a makou e malama nei.
21 for we provide for things honest, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.
E hoomanao e ana i na mea maikai, aole imua o ke Akua wale no, imua hoi o kanaka.
22 And 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.
A ua hoouna pu aku la makou i ko makou hoahanau me lakou, i ka mea a makou i ike pinepine ai, na ikaika i na mea he nui; ano, ua nui aku kona ikaika, i ka nui o kona manao maopopo ia oukou.
23 Whether 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.
A i ninauia mai o Tito, o kuu hoapili ia a me kuu hoahana no oukou; a o na hoahanau hoi o makou, o lakou ka poe elele no na ekalesia, a me ka nani o Kristo.
24 Shew therefore to them, before the assemblies, the proof of your love, and of our boasting about you.
Nolaila, e hoike mai ia lakou, a imua hoi o na ekalesia i ka oiaio o ko oukou aloha, a me ko makou kaena ana no oukou.
