¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

¹Alata'ala mpo'ongko' -kai jadi' topobago-na, kipakule' mpokamu bago toi sabana petulungi-na hi kai'. Toe pai' uma mere' nono-kai.

²But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

²Kitadi-mi hawe'ea gau' to me'eai', uma ria to kiwunii', uma-kai mpobagiu doo, uma-kai mpohala'weo Lolita Alata'ala. Mpoparata-kai napa to makono hante kalonto' -lonto' -na, bona hawe'ea tauna mpangaku' kamakono-na kareba to kikeni. Alata'ala mpotiroi-kai!

³But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

³Ria moto tauna to uma mpangalai' Kareba Lompe' to kikeni. Tauna to mpotoa' naraka, hira' toe-mi to uma mpangalai' -e. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli', ria to mpoputu' nono-ra alaa-na uma-ra dota mpangala' Kareba Lompe'.

⁴In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

⁴Noto anudaa' to mpokuasai dunia' toi mpohilingai' -ra, bona neo' -ra mpangalai' Kareba Lompe'. Baja ngkai Kareba Lompe' uma mpobajahi nono-ra. Jadi', uma oa' ra'incai kabohe tuwu' -na Kristus, to hibalia tuwu' -na hante Alata'ala.

⁵For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

⁵Uma-kai mpopalele hanga' -kai moto. To kipalele-hanale, kareba to mpo'uli' Yesus Kristus Kahi'a-na Pue'. Pai' kai' -kaiwo, batua-nikai, ntuku' hawa' -na Yesus.

⁶For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁶Apa' nto'u Alata'ala mpopajadi' langi' pai' dunia', na'uli' hewa toi: "Ngkai kabengia-na mehupa' baja!" Pai' Alata'ala toe wo'o-mi to mpobajahi nono-ta, bona ta'inca kabohe tuwu' -na. Hewa to Yahudi owi mpohilo pehini-na Alata'ala hi lio-na Musa, wae wo'o ta'inca kabohe tuwu' -na Alata'ala ane ta'inca-imi Yesus Kristus.

⁷But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

⁷Bohe mpu'u baraka' to mobago hi rala katuwu' -kai, apa' Alata'ala mposarumaka-kai mpokeni baja-na toe. Hiaa' kai', manusia' -wadi-ka-kaiwo. Kai' hewa kura tana' -wadi, aga nau' wae, to ihia' rewa to masuli' lia oli-na. Ngkai toe-mi, monoto hi hawe'ea tauna baraka' to ria hi kai', baraka' to ngkai Alata'ala, bela baraka' -kai moto.

⁸We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

⁸Ngki'ii ngka'ana narumpa' -kai kaparia, aga uma-kai te'upi'. Pontu-na tuhu-mi nono-kai, aga uma mere' nono-kai.

⁹Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

⁹Rasesa' -kai, aga Pue' uma mpopalahii-kai. Rapao' -kai alaa-kai padungka-dungka, aga uma-kai mate.

¹⁰Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

¹⁰Hiapa pomakoa' -kai, mponyanyo kamatea ncuu-kai hibalia hante Pue' Yesus. Toe majadi' bona monoto hi hawe'ea tauna katuwu' -na Yesus hi rala nono-kai.

¹¹For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

¹¹Batua-na: bula-kai tuwu' -pidi hi dunia' toi, ria oa' tauna to doko' mpopatehi-kai apa' mpotuku' Pue' Yesus. Toe majadi' bona monoto hi hawe'ea tauna katuwu' -na nculii' -mi Pue' Yesus, apa' rahilo baraka' -na hi rala woto-kai to lente toi.

¹²So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

¹²Jadi', mponyanyo kamatea ncuu-kai. Aga uma kitapari, apa' ngkai pobago-kai toe, koi' mporata katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.

¹³We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

¹³Hi rala Buku Tomoroli', te'uki' hewa toi: "Ngkai pepangala' -ku, pai' daho' -a mololita." Bate hewa toe wo'o-maka-kaiwo. Mepangala' -kai hi Pue' Ala, toe pai' daho' -kai mololita.

¹⁴Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

¹⁴Alata'ala mpotuwu' nculii' Pue' Yesus. Toe pai' ki'inca bate rata mpai' tempo-na napotuwu' nculii' wo'o-kai kai' dohe Pue' Yesus, pai' narumpu-kai hi nyanyoa-na, hangkaa-ngkania hante koi'.

¹⁵For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

¹⁵Hawe'ea kasusaa' to kikolo, kikolo bona koi' mporata kalompea'. Apa' ane kawoo-woria' tauna mpo'epe Kareba Lompe' pai' Alata'ala mpohore-ra ngkai huku' jeko' -ra sabana kabula rala-na, kawoo-woria' wo'o to mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, alaa-na hanga' -na rapomobohe.

¹⁶For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶Jadi', toe pai' ku'uli' we'i, uma mere' nono-kai. Nau' woto-kai toi ka'uu-uncua roho-na, aga nono-kai rabo'ui ncuu butu eo-na.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷Kasusaa' to tarata tempo toi, monangko' pai' hampai' -wadi. Pai' ngkai katida-ta hi rala kasusaa' toi, mporata-ta mpai' kabohe tuwu' to tida duu' kahae-hae-na. Kasusaa' to tarata tempo toi, hangkedi' siu' -wadi ane tapopohibalia hante kabohe tuwu' to tarata hi eo mpeno.

¹⁸While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

¹⁸Jadi', uma-ta mpenonoi napa to kahiloa. To tapenonoi-le, to ko'ia kahiloa. Apa' to kahiloa, hampai' -wadi. To ko'ia kahiloa tida duu' kahae-hae-na.
