¹This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

¹Tohe'i-e katolu ngkani-na-ama mpai' tilou mpencuai' -koi. Kiwoi-koi lolita Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': "Ane ria tauna to rapakilu mpobabehi sala', kana ria nte rodua ba tolu to jadi' sabi', bona monoa' -mi kara-kara-na."

²I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

²Bula-ku dohe-ni karongkani-na wengi, kupopo'ingai' -ramo to mojeko'. Jadi', tempo toi, bula-ku molaa-pidi, kuhulii' wo'o-mi paresa' -ku hi hira' pai' hi hema-hema to mparaluu paresa' toi: ane rata-apa mpai', karapo' mpu'u-a, uma-ra mpai' haduaa to tebahaka ngkai roe-ku.

³Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

³Bo ria-koi to merapi' bona kupopohiloi-koi tanda kanapowiwi-na Kristus mpu'u-a, wae-pi popea! Ane rata-apa mpai' hi retu, nihilo moto mpai' kuasa to nawai' -ka Kristus! Uma mpai' lente paresa' Kristus to kuparata-kokoi, ni'epe moto mpai' karoho-na.

⁴For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

⁴Lente mpu'u-ile wengi Kristus nto'u karaparika' -nae. Aga tuwu' nculii' -imi sabana karohoa to ngkai Alata'ala. Kai' wo'o ompi', lente wo'o-kai hangkaa-ngkania hante Kristus. Aga ngkai karohoa-na Alata'ala, bate mporata-kai katuwua' to bo'u hangkaa-ngkania hante Kristus. Jadi' ane rata-a mpai' ompi', nihilo moto karohoa to nawai' -kakai Alata'ala toe.

⁵Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

⁵Ompi' -ompi', niparesa' nono-ni moto, ba makono mpu'u-mi pepangala' -ni hi Kristus. Wile nono-ni moto. Ba uma monoto hi koi' ompi' kamo'oha' -na Kristus Yesus hi rala nono-ni? Nee-neo' mpai' boa' -wadi pepangala' -ni.

⁶But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

⁶Kusarumaka ompi', monoto wo'o-mi hi koi' kabela-nakai suro to boa'.

⁷Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

⁷Mekakae-kai hi Alata'ala bona neo' -koi mpobabehi to sala'. Patuju-kai mosampaya hewa toe, uma-hawo bona monoto kasuro-na Pue' Yesus mpu'u-kai. Patuju-kaile, bona koi' ompi' mpobabehi to lompe'. Nau' tauna to hantongo' tetura tilou mposapuaka oa' kuasa-kai, uma beiwa, asala koi' ompi' mpobabehi to lompe'.

⁸For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

⁸Asala nituku' napa to makono, uma-hawo ma'ala kilawa' -koi. Doko' kitulungi oa' -dakoi mpotuku' napa to makono-e.

⁹For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

⁹Goe' nono-kai nau' lente-kai, asala koi' -mi to moroho. Mosampaya-kai bona monoto nono-ni mpotuku' Pue'.

¹⁰Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

¹⁰Toe-die pai' ku'uki' ami' -kokoi sura tohe'i-e bula-ku molaa-pidi, bona ane rata-apa mpai', uma-apa karapo' hante kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue'. Apa' nawai' -a kuasa toi bona mporohoi pepangala' -ni, uma mpokero pepangala' -ni.

¹¹Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹¹Ka'omea-na ompi', kana goe' -koi. Pakanoto petuku' -ni hi Pue', pakaroho nono-ni hante paresa' -ku, hanono lau-mokoi pai' tuwu' hintuwu'. Pai' Alata'ala mpodohei-koi: napopohiloi-koi ahi' -na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.

¹²Greet one another with an holy kiss.

¹²Mometabe-tabe-koi hante nono mpu'u ane hirua' -koi hi pogamparaa.

¹³All the saints salute you.

¹³(G13-12) Hawe'ea topepangala' hi Yesus to hi rehe'i mpakatu tabe hi koi' ompi'.

¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

¹⁴(G13-13) Pue' Yesus Kristus mpogane' -koi, Alata'ala tida mpoka'ahi' -koi, duu' -na Inoha' Tomoroli' mpopohintuwu' -koi pai' mpodohei-koi omea. Hudu rei.
