2 Corinthians 9
1 For concerning the ministration which [is] for the saints, it is superfluous my writing to you.
A KA hoi, no ka manawalea ana i ka poe haipule, he mea hana wale ka'u ke palapala aku ia oukou.
2 For I know your readiness, which I boast of as respects you to Macedonians, that Achaia is prepared since a year ago, and the zeal [reported] of you has stimulated the mass [of the brethren].
No ka mea, ke ike nei au i ka makaukau ana o ko oukou naau, oia ka'u i kaena aku ai no oukou i ko Makedonia, ua makaukau no ko Akaia i keia makahiki mamua; a o ko oukou ikaika ka mea i ikaika ai na mea he nui.
3 But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made void in this respect, in order that, as I have said, ye may be prepared;
Aka, ua hoouna aku au i na hoahanau, o make hewa paha ko makou kaena ana i keia mea no oukou; i makaukau hoi oukou me ka'u i olelo aku ai:
4 lest haply, if Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we, that we say not ye, may be put to shame in this confidence.
Malia paha o hilahila auanei makou, (aole o oukou hoi ka makou e i aku nei, ) i keia kaena ikaika ana, ke hele pu aku nei ko Makedonia me au, a loaa oukou aole i makaukau.
5 I thought it necessary therefore to beg the brethren that they would come to you, and complete beforehand your fore-announced blessing, that this may be ready thus as blessing, and not as got out of you.
No ia mea, he pono i kuu manao e noi aku i ua mau hoahanau la e hele e mamua io oukou la e hoomakaukau i ko oukou haawina i olelo e ia mamua, i makaukau ai ua mea la, me he haawina la, aole me he mea ohiia la.
6 But this [is true], he that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that sows in [the spirit of] blessing shall reap also in blessing:
O keia hoi ka'u, O ka mea lulu Iiilii, e hoiliili liilii no ia; a o ka mea lulu nui, e hoiliili nui no hoi oia;
7 each according as he is purposed in his heart; not grievingly, or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
E like me ka manao ana o kela mea keia mea iloko o kona naau, pela ia e haawi aku ai, aole me ka minamina, aole hoi me he mea la i auhauia; no ka mea, ke aloha mai nei no ke Akua i ka mea nana e haawi oluolu aku.
8 But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:
A e hiki no i ke Akua ke hoonui ae i na mea maikai a pau ia oukou; i lako mau oukou i na mea a pau, i mahuahua ka oukou hana maikai ana ma na mea a pau:
9 according as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor, his righteousness remains for ever. (aiōn g165)
Me ka mea i palapalaia, Ua hooleilei aku la ia, ua haawi aku la ua ka poe ilihune: e mau loa ana kona pono. (aiōn g165)
10 Now he that supplies seed to the sower and bread for eating shall supply and make abundant your sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
A o ka mea nana e haawi mai i ka hua na ka mea lulu, a me ka ai e ai ai, e haawi mai no ia, a e hoonui hoi i ka oukou hua i luluia, me ka hoomahuahua i na hua o ko oukou pono:
11 enriched in every way unto all free-hearted liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
I lako oukou i na mea a pau, i nui ai ko oukou lokomaikai, oia ka mea e hoomaikaiia'ku ai ke Akua ma o makou la.
12 Because the ministration of this service is not only filling up the measure of what is lacking to the saints, but also abounding by many thanksgivings to God;
No ka mea, o ka hana ana i keia oihana ka mea e pau ai ka nele o ka poe haipule; aole ia wale no, ka mea hoi ia e mahuahua ai ka hoomaikai nui aku i ke Akua;
13 they glorifying God through the proof of this ministration, by reason of your subjection, by profession, to the glad tidings of the Christ, and your free-hearted liberality in communicating towards them and towards all;
No ka ike maopopo ana i keia lokomaikai, e hoonani aku lakou i ke Akua no ko oukou hooia ana e hoolohe i ka euanelio a Kristo, a no ka lokomaikai hoi o ka makana ia lakou, a i na mea a pau;
14 and in their supplication for you, full of ardent desire for you, on account of the exceeding grace of God [which is] upon you.
A i ka lakou pule ana no oukou, me ka makemake nui ia oukou no ka lokomaikai nui o ke Akua maluna o oukou.
15 Thanks [be] to God for his unspeakable free gift.
E alohaia'ku ke Akua no kona makana nui aole e hiki ke haiia'ku.
