1For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
1Ni'inca moto ompi' uma-wakai lenge' mara mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi koi'.
2But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
2Kako'ia-kai rata hi ngata-ni retu, rabalinai' pai' raruge' -kai hi ngata Filipi-- ni'inca moto-mi tutura-na ompi'. Aga nau' wori' to mpo'ewa-kai, Alata'ala mporohoi nono-kai bona bia' -kai mpoparata Kareba Lompe' to ngkai Alata'ala hi koi' wo'o.
3For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
3Uma kibawai-koi mpotuku' tudui' to uma makono. Uma wo'o ria patuju nono-kai to dada'a, uma-kai doko' mpobagiu ba hema-hema.
4But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
4Uma wo'o-kai mololita mpakagoe' nono manusia' -wadi. Mololita-kai bona mpakagoe' nono Alata'ala, apa' Hi'a-mi to mpoparesa' nono-kai, pai' na'uli' kanatao-kai mpokeni Kareba Lompe' toe.
5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
5Ni'inca moto ompi', uma-kai ria mololita mpolinuruhi-koi, uma-kai mpolerui patuju to dada'a doko' mporata ba napa-napa ngkai koi'. Alata'ala moto sabi' -kai!
6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
6Uma wo'o-kai mpope'une' hi koi' ba hi tau ntani' -na. Kakoo-kono-na, uma-kai sala' mperapii' -koi ompi', apa' suro-na Kristus mpu'u-kai.
7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
7Aga uma kibabehi hewa toe. Bula-kai retu-pidi wengi, mo'alusu' po'ingku-kai, hewa hadua totina mpewili' ana' -na.
8So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
8Kiparata-kokoi Kareba Lompe' ngkai Alata'ala. Pai' meliu ngkai toe, ba tuwu' ba mate-kai, bate sadia-kai mpotulungi-koi, apa' kipoka'ahi' lia-koi.
9For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
9Tantu nikiwoi moto ompi' kamowewa-kai wengi mobago, hinamengi hina'eo-kai mpali' pongkoni' -kai, bona neo' -kai mposesei' -koi bula-kai mpotudui' -koi Kareba Lompe' to ngkai Alata'ala.
10Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
10Ni'inca moto kamoroli' po'ingku-kai wengi hi koi' to mepangala' -mi hi Pue' Yesus. Monoa' po'ingku-kai, uma ria kasalaia' -na. Koi' -mi sabi' -kai ompi', hante Alata'ala wo'o.
11As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
11Ni'inca moto pepewili' -kai hi koi' butu dua-ni, hewa hadua tuama mpewili' ana' -ana' -na. Kirohoi pai' ki'apui nono-ni,
12That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
12pai' kiparesai' mpu'u-koi bona po'ingku-ni masipato' hi ntodea-na Alata'ala. Apa' Alata'ala mpokio' -koi jadi' ntodea-na hi rala Kamagaua' -na bona mporata-koi bagia hi rala kabohe tuwu' -na.
13For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
13Ria-pi hanyala to mpakeni-kai mpo'uli' tarima kasi oa' hi Alata'ala. Apa' kareba to ni'epe ngkai kai' nitarima hewa Lolita Alata'ala mpu'u, uma nitarima hewa lolita manusia' -wadi. Pai' bate wae mpu'u, kareba toe bate Lolita Alata'ala to mobago ncuu hi rala nono-ni to mepangala' hi Pue'.
14For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
14Ki'inca toe ompi', apa' napa to jadi' hi to Kristen hi tana' Yudea to mepue' hi Alata'ala, wae wo'o to jadi' hi koi'. Koi' rabalinai' hingka ngata-ni moto, wae wo'o ompi' -ta to napobagia Kristus Yesus hi Yudea toera rabalinai' hingka to Yahudi-ra.
15Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
15To Yahudi toe wo'o-ra-wadi to mpopatehi nabi-nabi owi pai' mpopatehi Pue' Yesus, duu' -na kai' wo'o-mi rabalinai' to Yahudi toera. Me'ewa ncuu-ra hi konoa Alata'ala, pai' jadi' bali' hawe'ea tauna-ramo.
16Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
16Apa' ralawa' -lawa' ncuu ohea-kai bona ngalai' neo' kiparata kareba to mpokeni kalompea' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi Jadi', ngkai hawe'ea gau' -ra to Yahudi toe, melabi rahi-mi jeko' -ra, pai' ka'omea-na mporata-ramo roe Alata'ala.
17But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
17Ompi' -ompi', ngkai pogaa' -ta to hampai' tohe'i-e, lentora lia-kai mpokalentorai-koi. Nau' mogaa' -ta hi mata, aga kipoimata-mata oa' -koi hi rala nono-kai. Jadi', kipali' -mi ohea-kai tilou mpencuai' -koi.
18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
18Ria mpu'u-mi wengi hawa' -kai ke tilou mpencuai' -koie. Aku' Paulus, ba hangkuja ngkani-ama moliwo tilou, aga Magau' Anudaa' melawa'.
19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
19Doko' mpu'u-kai mpencuai' -koi, apa' ane rata-ipi mpai' Pue' -ta Pue' Yesus, pai' -ta morumpu hi nyanyoa-na, koi' -mi to jadi' wua' bago-kai to kisarumaka. Nto'u toe mpai', goe' pai' bohe nono-kai sabana koi' ompi'.
20For ye are our glory and joy.
20Bate koi' -mile kabohea pai' kagoea' nono-kaie!
