Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.

ASIMISMO, hermanos, os hacemos saber la gracia de Dios que ha sido dada á las iglesias de Macedonia:

That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.

Que en grande prueba de tribulación, la abundancia de su gozo y su profunda pobreza abundaron en riquezas de su bondad.

How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.

For according to their power (I bear them witness) and beyond their power, they were willing:

Pues de su grado han dado conforme á sus fuerzas, yo testifico, y aun sobre sus fuerzas;

For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;

For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,

And not as we hoped: but they gave their own selves, first to the Lord, then to us by the will of God;

Y no como lo esperábamos, mas aun á sí mismos se dieron primeramente al Señor, y á nosotros por la voluntad de Dios.

This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.

De manera que exhortamos á Tito, que como comenzó antes, así también acabe esta gracia entre vosotros también.

Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.

That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound.

Por tanto, como en todo abundáis, en fe, y en palabra, y en ciencia, y en toda solicitud, y en vuestro amor para con nosotros, que también abundéis en esta gracia.

Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

But as you abound in everything—in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us—see that you also abound in this grace.

I speak not as commanding: but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity.

No hablo como quien manda, sino para poner á prueba, por la eficacia de otros, la sinceridad también de la caridad vuestra.

I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich.

Porque ya sabéis la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que por amor de vosotros se hizo pobre, siendo rico; para que vosotros con su pobreza fueseis enriquecidos.

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.

And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago.

Y en esto doy mi consejo; porque esto os conviene á vosotros, que comenzasteis antes, no sólo á hacerlo, mas aun á quererlo desde el año pasado.

And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

I give advice in this: it is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.

Ahora pues, llevad también á cabo el hecho, para que como estuvisteis prontos á querer, así también lo estéis en cumplir conforme á lo que tenéis.

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.

But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.

For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not.

Porque si primero hay la voluntad pronta, será acepta por lo que tiene, no por lo que no tiene.

For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an equality,

Sino para que en este tiempo, con igualdad, vuestra abundancia supla la falta de ellos, para que también la abundancia de ellos supla vuestra falta, porque haya igualdad;

But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:

but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack, that there may be equality.

As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that had little had no want.

Como está escrito: El que recogió mucho, no tuvo más; y el que poco, no tuvo menos.

As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.

As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack.”

And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.

Y no sólo esto, mas también fué ordenado por las iglesias el compañero de nuestra peregrinación para llevar esta gracia, que es administrada de nosotros para gloria del mismo Señor, y para demostrar vuestro pronto ánimo:

Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
