¹Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

¹Ane kai' pangkeni-ni, agina ni'uli' pahawaa' -wadi-ka-kaiwo, apa' kai' pahawaa' Kristus, to nasarumaka mpokeni kareba ngkai Alata'ala to ko'ia ra'incai ihi' dunia'.

²Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

²To rapali' mpu'u hi tauna to rapahawa', kana tida-i mpotuku' hawa'.

³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

³Jadi', ane ria-koi to doko' mpotuntui' -a ba sala' pobago-ku, uma-a pari. Nau' ba hema to mposalai' pobago-ku, uma kutapari. Aku' moto, uma-kuwo ku'uli' moto-mi kalompe' ba ka'uma-na pobago-ku.

⁴For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

⁴Moroli' mpontolumanu' nono-ku, ku'inca ka'uma-na ria sala' -ku. Aga bela toe to mponoai' -a. Pue' moto to mpobotuhi kamonoa' -ku ba ka'uma-na.

⁵Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

⁵Toe-mi ompi', neo' mpotuntui' doo ba lompe' pobago-na ba uma. Popea karata-na nculii' Pue'. Hi'a moto mpai' to mpowongka hawe'ea to tewuni hi rala kabengia-na, Hi'a to mpopehuwu hawe'ea patuju to hi rala nono manusia'. Nto'u toe-damo mpai', butu dua tauna mporata pe'une' ngkai Alata'ala hewa to kasipato' -na.

⁶And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

⁶Ompi' -ompi', napa to ku'uli' -e we'i, mpobelahi woto-ku moto pai' Apolos. Kai' rodua kupotonco, bona mpotudui' -koi mpotuku' hawa' -hawa' to te'uki' pai' neo' mpobila' pangkeni-ni meliu ngkai katoto-na. Patuju-ku, bona neo' ria-koi to molangko nono-ni to mpo'uli': "Aku' mpotuku' ni'anu-a, iko mpotuku' ni'anu-wadi-ko-kona."

⁷For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

⁷Ha ni'uli' -koina wae, melabi ntanii' -koi ngkai doo-ni? Ha ria nte hanyala to ria hi koi' to uma nitarima ngkai Alata'ala? Napa pai' molangko nono-nie? Ba ni'uli' -koina hawe'ea to ria hi koi', bela to nawai' -kokoi Alata'ala?

⁸Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

⁸Ha ni'uli' -koina wae, uma-pi ria kakuraa' -ni? Ha ni'uli' hono' mpu'u-mi karoho pepangala' -ni hi Pue' -e? Ha moparenta mpu'u-mokoi hewa raja-e, pai' kai' suro Pue' Yesus uma? Ke lompe' lia-midi ompi' ane jadi' raja mpu'u-mokoie, bona moparenta wo'o-ka-kaiwo hangkaa-ngkania hante koi'.

⁹For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

⁹Aga ko'ia-kai jadi' raja hi dunia'. Ntuku' pomporataa-ku, kai' suro Pue' Yesus, Alata'ala mpajadi' -kai tauna to mpe'ahii' lia ngkai hawe'ea manusia'. Kai' rapohewa tauna to rahuku' mate rarono ntodea. Rarono-kai ihi' dunia', lompe' manusia' lompe' mala'eka.

¹⁰We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

¹⁰Kai' rapatiwojo tauna apa' mpopalele-kai Kareba Kristus, hiaa' koi' mpo'uli' monoto-mi-koina nono-ni! Kai', lente-kai, hiaa' koi' mpo'uli' moroho-mi-koina pepangala' -ni! Koi', rabila' -ko-koina ihi' dunia', hiaa' kai' raruge'!

¹¹Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

¹¹Duu' rata tempo tohe'i, uma hono' pongkoni' -kai, uma hono' ponginu-kai, uma hono' pohea-kai. Ntora raweba' -kai. Uma monoa' katidaa-kai.

¹²And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

¹²Mobago ngkoro-kai hante pale-kai moto. Ane ria to mpotipo' -kai, kihiwili-raka rasi'. Ane ria to mpobalinai' -kai, kipengkatarii.

¹³Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

¹³Ane ria to mpolibui' -kai, kitompoi' -ra hante ka'olu-na. Kai' raponcawa momo hi dunia' toi, ranaa mpota'i-kai duu' rata tempo toi.

¹⁴I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

¹⁴Ompi' -ompi'! Patuju-ku mpololitai-koi hewa toe-e, uma-kuwo bona mpo'eai' -koi. Lolita-ku toi, mpoparesai' -koi, kuponcawa ana' -ku to kupe'ahi' -koi.

¹⁵For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

¹⁵Apa' nau' ba moncobu-mi guru-ni to mpotete' -koi hi petuku' -ni hi Kristus, muntu' aku' to nipotuama, apa' aku' -mi to lomo' -na mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi koi', alaa-na mepangala' -mokoi hi Kristus Yesus.

¹⁶Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

¹⁶Toe pai' kuperapi' mpu'u ompi' bona nituku' po'ingku-ku.

¹⁷For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

¹⁷Jadi', tungkai' kuhubui-i Timotius tilou mpohirua' -kokoi. Timotius toei, kuponcawa ana' -ku moto-i to kupe'ahi', to tida hi rala pobago Pue'. Ane rata-i mpai', napopokiwoii-damo-koi beiwa po'ingku-ku hi petuku' -ku hi Kristus, hewa to kutudui' -raka hawe'ea to Kristen hi butu ngata kahilouaa-ku.

¹⁸Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

¹⁸Ria-koi nte ba hangkuja dua to molangko nono-ni, ni'uli' uma-apa mpai' daho' tilou mpohirua' -kokoi.

¹⁹But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

¹⁹Ntaa' tilou moto-ada mpai', uma-pi mahae ane napokono Pue'. Hi rehe'e-damo mpai', pai' kuhilo napa to rababehi tauna to molangko nono-ra tetura ria. Kuhilo ba mokuasa mpu'u-ra, ba hi wiwi-ra-wadi.

²⁰For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

²⁰Apa' ane Alata'ala jadi' Magau' -ta, nabalii' kehi-ta hante baraka' -na. Neo' mpai' ta'uli': "Alata'ala Magau' -ta," hiaa' uma tabalii' kehi-ta.

²¹What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

²¹Jadi', to'uma to nipokono: ane rata-a pai' ko'ia oa' nibalii' kehi-ni, ngkerepa' mpai' lolita-ku mpoparesai' -koi. Tapi' ane mobali' -mi kehi-ni, mo'olu pai' ma'ahi' -a mpai' hi koi'.
