¹We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

¹Jadi', kai' tohe'i, mobago-kai hangkaa-ngkania hante Alata'ala mpokeni lolita-na hi manusia'. Toe pai' kiperapi' mpu'u ompi', neo' uma nisaile' kalompe' nono-na Alata'ala to mpolia' nitarima-mi.

²(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

²Hi rala Buku Tomoroli' owi na'uli' Alata'ala hewa toi: Hi tempo to kupakatantu ku'epe pekakae-nu, Kutulungi-moko, kuhore-ko ngkai huku' jeko' -nu."

³Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

³Kipelompehi mpu'u bona uma kasalaia' po'ingku-kai, bona neo' mpai' ria to mporuge' pobago-kai mpokeni Lolita Alata'ala.

⁴But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

⁴Hi butu nyala-na, kibabehi oa' po'ingku to lompe', bona monoto katopobago-na Alata'ala-kai. Tari-kai hi rala wori' nyala kapedaa', kaparia pai' kasusaa'.

⁵In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

⁵Raweba' -kai, ratarungku' -kai, mo'iko tauna tumai mpodulu-kai. Mobago ngkoro-kai, pontu-na uma-kai tepoleta', pontu-na uma-kai tepongkoni'.

⁶By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

⁶Hi rala hawe'ea toe, monoto katopobago-na Alata'ala mpu'u-kai, apa' moroli' kehi-kai, ki'inca Lolita Alata'ala, mosabara-kai, lompe' nono-kai hi doo, Inoha' Tomoroli' mobago hi rala nono-kai, mpoka'ahi' doo-kai ngkai nono mpu'u.

⁷By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

⁷Monoto katopobago-na Alata'ala-kai, apa' kiparata tudui' to makono, baraka' Alata'ala monoto hi rala pobago-kai. Kibabehi oa' po'ingku to monoa', pai' po'ingku-kai to monoa' toe kiponcawa piho' -kai pai' kaliawo-kai, apa' ane monoa' po'ingku-kai, ma'ala-kai mpo'ewa bali', pai' ma'ala-kai mpojungki' pebalinai' bali'.

⁸By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

⁸Nau' raruge' ba ra'une' -kai, nau' ratuntui' ba rabila' -kai, bate monoto katopobago-na Alata'ala mpu'u-kai. Ria to mpo'uli' topebagiu-kai, tapi' makono lolita-kai.

⁹As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

⁹Tau hantongo' uma mposaile' -kai, hiaa' tau hantongo' wo'o mpomobohe hanga' -kai. Olo' mpobira' -kai tuwu', hiaa' hilo, tuwu' oa' -pidi-kai! Rahuku' -kai, aga uma-wakai mate.

¹⁰As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

¹⁰Wori' kasusaa' -kai, aga goe' oa' moto-kai. Kabu-kai, aga kai' -mi to mpokeni rasi' hi wori' tauna. Hiloa-na hewa uma-kai nakariai napa-napa, tapi' kakoo-kono-na ria omea moto-di hi kai' -e.

¹¹O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

¹¹Ompi' -ku to Korintus! Kipolonto' -mi lolita-kai mpololitai-koi, uma ria to kiwunii'. Nihilo moto-mi ahi' -kai hi koi'.

¹²Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

¹²Bela kai' to mpo'unca nono-kai hi koi'. Koi' to mpo'unca nono-ni hi kai'.

¹³Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.

¹³Mololita-a tohe'i-e hewa mpololitai ana' -ku moto-mi: kuperapi' bona nibea wo'o-mi nono-ni mpohiwili ahi' -kai.

¹⁴Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

¹⁴Neo' -koi mposidai' -raka tauna to uma mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus. Uma ntoto natao. Ha ni'uli' -koina hibalia-wadi tauna to mpobabehi konoa Alata'ala pai' tauna to ncapuaka Alata'ala? Ha jadi' -hana baja mogalo hante bengi?

¹⁵And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

¹⁵Ha hintuwu' -ra Kristus pai' Magau' Anudaa' -e? Napa posidaia' -ra tauna to mepangala' pai' tauna to uma mepangala' -e?

¹⁶And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

¹⁶Ha hibalia-wadi Tomi Alata'ala pai' tomi pepuea' hi pinotau? Hiaa' kita' toi-mile tomi Alata'ala-e, apa' Alata'ala to Tuwu' mo'oha' hi rala nono-ta. Jadi', uma natao ane kita' to mepue' hi Alata'ala mpotuku' -ra to mepue' hi seta. Toi-mi batua-na Lolita Alata'ala owi to mpo'uli' hewa toi: Mo'oha' -a mpai' hi laintongo' -ra, pai' tida-a dohe-ra. Aku' jadi' Pue' -ra, pai' hira' jadi' ntodea-ku."

¹⁷Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

¹⁷"Jadi', bahakai-mi mpotuku' kehi-ra to uma mpo'incai-a, neo' -pi niposidai' -raka! Pokalaa katuwu' -ni ngkai hawe'ea gau' to dada'a. Ane nibabehi hewa toe, kudoa moto-koi."

¹⁸And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

¹⁸"Aku' -mi nipotuama, pai' koi' kupo'ana'." Wae-mi ponguli' Pue', to meliu kabaraka' -na ngkai hawe'ea to ria.
