2 Corinthians 8
1 Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been bestowed in the churches of Macedonia;
Toronoo susue nggara, e! Hai nau fo ama mihine Lamatuaꞌ rala malolen, fo Ana natudꞌu basa neu atahori saraniꞌ sia profinsi Makedonia ra.
2 that under a great trial of distress the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty increased the riches of their liberality;
Te mae ara hambu susa-sonaꞌ naen seli o, rala nara ramahoꞌo rakandooꞌ a. Naa de, mae ara toꞌa-taa o, ara feꞌe fee doiꞌ naeꞌ no rala teme-aoꞌ, fo tulu-fali atahori mamahereꞌ laen mana hambu sususa-sosonaꞌ ra sia Yerusalem
3 for according to their power, I bear witness, and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
Au bisa dui ae, ara fee basa saa fo ara bisa fee. Ma ara fee lenaꞌ naa boe. Esa nda naꞌaꞌsusuuꞌ se sa boe.
4 begging of us with much entreaty the favor of sharing in the ministration to the saints;
Ara mana roꞌe no tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ fo hai soi dalaꞌ soaꞌ neu se. No taꞌo naa, ara bisa tulu-fali atahori mamahereꞌ mana hambu sususa-sosonaꞌ sia Yerusalem.
5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God;
Dalahulun, hai mimihena ara nau tao taꞌo ia, te saa fo ara taoꞌ naa, lenaꞌ mia saa fo hai mimihenaꞌ a! Kaesan, ara fee ao nara neu hita Lamatuan. Boe ma, ara olaꞌ fai rae, “Hai mae fee ao mara fo tulu-fali nggi, huu naa tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun.”
6 so that we urged Titus, that, as he had already made a beginning, so he would also finish among you this bounty also.
Huu atahori saraniꞌ mana sia Makedonia ra ratudꞌu taꞌo naa, naa de hai moꞌe fo Titus baliꞌ neu nggi sia Korintus, naa fo ama bisa tulu-fali Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana hambu susa-sonaꞌ sia Yerusalem. Te dalahulun ana mana mulai kumbu doiꞌ fee neu se. Ma aleꞌ ia o, hai hule fo ana tao naꞌadaiꞌ hei ue-tatao mara fo tulu-fali atahori boe.
7 But as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this exercise of liberality also.
Hei ue-tatao mara soaꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ malolen seli. Conto onaꞌ: hei nemehere mara manggatee; hei oꞌola malole mara; hei mihine naeꞌ soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ; hei manggate mara, seli; ma hei sue mala hai seli. Naa de au nau fo ama tulu-fali Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana hambu sususa-sosonaꞌ no fee se doiꞌ naeꞌ.
8 I speak not by way of command, but by reason of the earnestness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love.
Au nda parenda nggi sia Korintus fo fee doiꞌ naeꞌ sa, te au ae sobꞌa nggi. Te atahori saraniꞌ mana sia Makedonia ra rae tulu-fali se ena. Dadꞌi no taꞌo ia hei bisa mitudꞌu mae hei sue tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ atahori mana susa-sonaꞌ ra.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Te hei bubꞌuluꞌ mae, hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus, natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggi ena. Dalahulun Ana onaꞌ atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ. Te Ana nau dadꞌi atahori hata-taaꞌ fo tulu-fali nggi, naa fo ama bisa mimisuꞌi sia dalaꞌ hetar.
10 And I only give an opinion in this matter. For this is expedient for you, who began before others, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago.
Hei mulai kumbu doiꞌ fee se eniꞌ a too mana laoꞌ naa ena. Hei nda fee akaꞌ doiꞌ sa, te ama tulu-fali mia rala mara boe. Dadꞌi tungga au, ama musi tao taꞌo ia:
11 Now therefore perform the doing of it, that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
Dalahulun hei mae tulu-fali Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana hambu susa-sonaꞌ sia Yerusalem. Dadꞌi ia naa, fee mibasaꞌ saa fo hei miꞌetuꞌ basa mae tulu-fali mendiꞌ. Ma hei beꞌi fee baꞌu saa, na, fee leo. Te sadꞌi, fee no rala nemehoꞌot.
12 For if there be first the willing mind, it is accepted according to what a man hath, not according to what he hath not.
Huu mete ma hita fee no rala nemehoꞌot tungga bebeꞌi tara tae fee baꞌu saa na, naa o maloleꞌ boe. Siaꞌ a hita e. Huu atahori mana fee no neꞌesusuuꞌ, na naa mana naꞌasususaꞌ e.
13 For it is not that others may be eased, and you burdened,
Au nda uꞌena masud tao umubera nggi sa, naa fo atahori laen ra ramanggafa. Te Au masud ngga, basa nggita lemba-doi sususa-sosonaꞌ naa ona esaꞌ.
14 but to make an equality; at the present season your abundance meeting their deficiency, that their abundance may at another time meet your deficiency; that there may be equality;
Te aleꞌ ia hei hambu lenaꞌ, ma sira nda hambu dai sa. Dei fo ara bisa bala-bꞌae boe, mete ma hei nda hambu dai sa. No taꞌo naa ata bisa lemba-doi belaꞌ.
15 as it is written: “He that gathered much, had nothing over; and he that gathered little, had no lack.”
Naa onaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren suraꞌ nae, “Atahori mana hambu naeꞌ nda hambu lenaꞌ sira parlu na sa. Ma atahori mana hambu mbeiꞌ a, nda toꞌa-taa mia sira parlu na sa.
16 But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus;
Au oꞌe makasi mbali Lamatualain, huu Eni mana kokoe-nanasi Titus fo nau tulu-fali nggi, onaꞌ au nau tulu-fali nggi boe.
17 for he accepted indeed the exhortation; but being very earnest, he went of his own accord to you.
Memaꞌ hai moꞌe fo neti seꞌu nggi. Te, Eni o hii-nau aon boe. Dadꞌi ana nau neti tulu-fali nggi, nda huu au oꞌe sa.
18 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise in the gospel is throughout all the churches;
Te nda neu mesaꞌ ne sa. Huu hai o denu toronoo ma esa neu namaloloꞌ no e. Basa atahori saraniꞌ mana sia ia ra rahine atahori ia ena, huu ana tao-ues nitaꞌ mamaten dui-bꞌengga neu atahori soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen.
19 and not that only, but who was also appointed by the churches as our fellow-traveler in the matter of this bounty, which is administered by us to the honor of the Lord himself, and of our ready mind;
Atahori Saraniꞌ ra malangga nara o pili rala e fo laoꞌ namaloloꞌ no hai boe, fo tulun hai toꞌu tutulu-fafaliꞌ ra. Hai milalao ue-tataos ia, fo mitudꞌu hita Lamatuan manaselin, ma tao maloleꞌ fee atahori mana susa-sonaꞌ sia Yerusalem.
20 since we are careful of this, that no one should blame us in our management of this abundant liberality;
Hai sangga dalaꞌ fo tao ndoo-tetuꞌ a, naa fo nda hambu atahori raꞌasasalaꞌ hai rae, hai nda tao no matetuꞌ sa leleꞌ mendi doiꞌ fee neu atahori mana parluꞌ ra.
21 for we take forethought for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
Huu hai duduꞌa losa no maloleꞌ fo tao ndoo-tetuꞌ mia hai rala ndoos ma sia Lamatualain matan, boe ma sia atahori matan boe.
22 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have often in many things proved to be zealous, but now much more zealous through the great confidence which he hath in you.
Naa, hai o denu toronooꞌ esa fai fo neu namaloloꞌ no Titus se fo rendi doiꞌ naa. Hai paresaꞌ e lao hetar ena. De hai bubꞌuluꞌ ana nau ue-tao no manggateeꞌ fee nggi. Ana manggate onaꞌ naa, huu ana bubꞌuluꞌ oi, hei tao ndoo-tetuꞌ.
23 As to Titus, he is my partner and fellow-laborer for you; as to our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
Mete ma hambu atahori ratane soꞌal Titus, na, mifadꞌe se mae, Titus naa, au toronoo ngga mana tao ues no au nakandooꞌ a fee nggi. Atahori mamahereꞌ sia mamanaꞌ laen o pili rala sira atahorin ena, fo ara tungga se rendi doiꞌ ia ra risiꞌ Yerusalem. Ara raꞌabꞌue fo rae reu ena. Titus naꞌabꞌue no se boe. Dei fo basa se ratudꞌu Kristus manaselin onaꞌ naa.
24 Display to them, therefore, before the churches, the proof of your love, and of what we have boasted on your behalf.
Dadꞌi hei musi mitudꞌu susue mara neu atahori mana nendi doiꞌ naa. Boe ma mitudꞌu neu se, saa de hai hiiꞌ a olaꞌ koao soꞌal nggi. No taꞌo naa, atahori mamahereꞌ mia atahori sarani sia bee-bꞌee bubꞌuluꞌ tebꞌe rae, hei sue-lai se boe.
