¹Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

¹Toe pai' kuparesai' -koi ompi': bahaka-mi butu nyala kehi to dada'a pai' hawe'ea lolita-ni to boa'. Neo' -pokoi mebagiu, neo' mohingi', neo' mporuge' doo.

²As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

²Hewa ana'lei to lako' putu to mpokahina ue tii', koi' wo'o kana mpokahina pongkoni' kao' -ni, tetu-mi Lolita Pue'. Bona ngkai Lolita Pue' toe kamoroo-rohoa pai' kamonoo-notoa katuwua' kao' -ni.

³If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

³Neo' nibahakai mpokahina Lolita Pue' toe, lawi' nirasai-mi kalompe' nono-na.

⁴To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

⁴Pue' Yesus rarapai' -ki hameha' watu to tuwu'. Watu toe ratadi manusia', apa' ra'uli' uma ria kalaua-na. Tapi' hi poncilo Alata'ala, watu toei masuli' lia oli-na, pai' Alata'ala mpopelihi watu toei jadi' poko parawatu. Pai' koi' wo'o, ompi' -ompi' tumai-mokoi hi Pue',

⁵Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

⁵bona napajadi' -koi hewa watu-watu to tuwu' to rapake' mpowangu tomi pepuea' hi Alata'ala. Napajadi' wo'o-koi imam-imam to moroli'. Apa' hewa imam mpotonu pepue' hi Alata'ala, wae wo'o koi' mpotonu nono-ni hi Alata'ala, niponcawa pepue' -ni hi Hi'a. Pai' pepue' -ni toe bate mpakagoe' nono-na, sabana petauntongoi' -na Yesus Kristus.

⁶Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

⁶Hi rala Buku Tomoroli', Magau' Topetolo' rarapai' -ki watu to napelihi Alata'ala, hewa toi moni-na: Hilo! Kupelihi hameha' watu to masuli' oli-na, kuhu'a hi Bulu' Sion, kupajadi' poko parawatu. Hema-hema to mepangala' hi watu toei, uma-ra mpai' hala'nawu'."

⁷Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

⁷Magau' Topetolo' toei hewa watu to masuli' oli-na hi koi' to mpopangala' -i. Aga tauna to uma mpopangala' -i bate mporata silaka, alaa-na madupa' -mi lolita Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': Watu toe ratadi topowangu tomi. Ntaa' we'i, watu toe lau-idi to jadi' poko parawatu-e."

⁸And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

⁸"Watu toe jadi' watu katewincia' -ra, pai' watu katehopoa' -ra."

⁹But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

⁹Aga koi' ompi' -ompi', napelihi-moko-koina Alata'ala, napajadi' -koi imam-imam to mpokamu bago mpepue' hi Magau' -ta. Napatani' -koi jadi' bagia-na pai' ntodea-na to moroli'. Nababehi toe bona koi' mpopalele hi hawe'ea tauna babehia-na to mobaraka', nitutura-raka kanakio' -ni malai ngkai kabengia-na mesua' hi rala kabajaa-na to uma mowo kalompe' -na.

¹⁰Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹⁰Owi, bela-koi bagia-na, aga wae lau napobagia-mokoi. Owi-koi uma mpo'incai pe'ahi' -na, aga wae lau ni'inca-mi pe'ahi' -na.

¹¹Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹¹Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi'! Katuwu' -ta hi rala dunia' toi, hewa tauna to mesowo' pai' hewa tauna to liu-ta-wadi, apa' mo'oha' -ta hi olo' tauna to uma-ra mepangala' hi Pue'. Toe pai' kuparesai' -koi: neo' mpotuku' kahinaa nono-ni to dada'a, apa' kahinaa to dada'a toe mosisala hante kalompea' tuwu' kao' -ni.

¹²Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹²Pontu-na ria tauna to uma mpo'incai Pue' to mpobalihi-koi, ra'uli' dada'a gau' -ni. Toe pai' kana nipelompehi mpu'u po'ingku-ni, bona rahilo kalompe' po'ingku-ni toe. Ka'omea-na mpai', rapangaku' -mi kalompe' po'ingku-ni, pai' mpo'une' Alata'ala-ramo hi eo karata-na.

¹³Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

¹³Kana mengkoru-ta hi hawe'ea topoparenta to rapakatantu manusia', apa' toe-mi konoa Pue'. Mengkoru hi magau' bohe, apa' lawi' hi'a-mi to hi wongko-na mpu'u.

¹⁴Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

¹⁴Mengkoru hi gubernur, apa' lawi' hi'a to napopale magau' mpohuku' tauna to dada'a gau' -ra pai' mpo'une' tauna to lompe' gau' -ra.

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁵Apa' toe-mi konoa Pue', bona ngkai kalompe' po'ingku-ta, tauna to uma mpo'incai Pue', uma-rapa daho' mpobalihi-ta, apa' monoto-mi ka'uma-na makono pebalihi-ra toe.

¹⁶As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

¹⁶Kakoo-kono-na, kita' to Kristen, uma-tapa napobatua jeko', apa' Alata'ala mpobahaka-tamo ngkai kuasa jeko'. Aga kabela-ta batua toe neo' -hawo tapo'ohea mpobabehi to dada'a. Agina mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala-tamo, apa' lawi' batua-na mpu'u-tamo.

¹⁷Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹⁷Saile' hawe'ea tauna. Poka'ahi' ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta, pengkorui Alata'ala, pai' bila' magau' -ta.

¹⁸Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

¹⁸Batua-batua, pengkorui pai' bila' maradika-ni, uma wule' hi maradika-ni to lompe' pai' to mo'olu kehi-ra. Bangku' maradika-ni to seke-e', bate nipengkorui-ra.

¹⁹For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

¹⁹Ane ria-koi to nabalinai' maradika-ni nau' uma ria sala' -ni, pai' ane ntaha-koi mpokolo kaparia toe apa' mpokiwoi-koi konoa Alata'ala, bate nagane' -koi Alata'ala.

²⁰For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²⁰Ha na'une' -koi mpai' Alata'ala ane mosabara-koi mpengkatarii kaparia to nirata apa' masala' -koie? Uma-hawo. Tapi' ane mporata-koi kaparia sabana po'ingku-ni to lompe' pai' mosabara-koi mpokolo kaparia toe, bate nagane' -koi Alata'ala.

²¹For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

²¹Apa' toe-mile pai' nakio' -koi Alata'ala-e: nakio' -koi bona mo'ingku lompe', nau' -koi rabalinai'. Apa' Kristus wo'o mporata kaparia sabana koi', pai' nawai' -koi tonco bona nituku' laa' -na.

²²Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²²Uma-i ria mpobabehi jeko', uma ria lolita boa' to howa' ngkai wiwi-na.

²³Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

²³Ralibui' -i, uma-i mehawa mpolibui' -ra. Rasesa' -i, uma-i metipo'. Mpotonu tuwu' -nai-wadi hi Alata'ala, Topobotuhi to monoa'.

²⁴Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

²⁴Nakolo huku' jeko' -ta hi woto-na moto hi karapatehi-na hi kaju parika', bona tebahaka-ta ngkai kuasa jeko' pai' tuwu' ntuku' konoa Alata'ala-tamo. Ngkai weho-na toe-mi pai' alaa-na mo'uri' -mokoi.

²⁵For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

²⁵Owi hewa bima to puha-koi. Aga tempo toi nculii' -mokoi hi Topo'ewu to mpewili' kao' -ni.
