¹Ane kai' pangkeni-ni, agina ni'uli' pahawaa' -wadi-ka-kaiwo, apa' kai' pahawaa' Kristus, to nasarumaka mpokeni kareba ngkai Alata'ala to ko'ia ra'incai ihi' dunia'.

¹Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

²To rapali' mpu'u hi tauna to rapahawa', kana tida-i mpotuku' hawa'.

²Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

³Jadi', ane ria-koi to doko' mpotuntui' -a ba sala' pobago-ku, uma-a pari. Nau' ba hema to mposalai' pobago-ku, uma kutapari. Aku' moto, uma-kuwo ku'uli' moto-mi kalompe' ba ka'uma-na pobago-ku.

³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

⁴Moroli' mpontolumanu' nono-ku, ku'inca ka'uma-na ria sala' -ku. Aga bela toe to mponoai' -a. Pue' moto to mpobotuhi kamonoa' -ku ba ka'uma-na.

⁴For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

⁵Toe-mi ompi', neo' mpotuntui' doo ba lompe' pobago-na ba uma. Popea karata-na nculii' Pue'. Hi'a moto mpai' to mpowongka hawe'ea to tewuni hi rala kabengia-na, Hi'a to mpopehuwu hawe'ea patuju to hi rala nono manusia'. Nto'u toe-damo mpai', butu dua tauna mporata pe'une' ngkai Alata'ala hewa to kasipato' -na.

⁵Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.

⁶Ompi' -ompi', napa to ku'uli' -e we'i, mpobelahi woto-ku moto pai' Apolos. Kai' rodua kupotonco, bona mpotudui' -koi mpotuku' hawa' -hawa' to te'uki' pai' neo' mpobila' pangkeni-ni meliu ngkai katoto-na. Patuju-ku, bona neo' ria-koi to molangko nono-ni to mpo'uli': "Aku' mpotuku' ni'anu-a, iko mpotuku' ni'anu-wadi-ko-kona."

⁶Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not [to go] beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.

⁷Ha ni'uli' -koina wae, melabi ntanii' -koi ngkai doo-ni? Ha ria nte hanyala to ria hi koi' to uma nitarima ngkai Alata'ala? Napa pai' molangko nono-nie? Ba ni'uli' -koina hawe'ea to ria hi koi', bela to nawai' -kokoi Alata'ala?

⁷For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?

⁸Ha ni'uli' -koina wae, uma-pi ria kakuraa' -ni? Ha ni'uli' hono' mpu'u-mi karoho pepangala' -ni hi Pue' -e? Ha moparenta mpu'u-mokoi hewa raja-e, pai' kai' suro Pue' Yesus uma? Ke lompe' lia-midi ompi' ane jadi' raja mpu'u-mokoie, bona moparenta wo'o-ka-kaiwo hangkaa-ngkania hante koi'.

⁸Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

⁹Aga ko'ia-kai jadi' raja hi dunia'. Ntuku' pomporataa-ku, kai' suro Pue' Yesus, Alata'ala mpajadi' -kai tauna to mpe'ahii' lia ngkai hawe'ea manusia'. Kai' rapohewa tauna to rahuku' mate rarono ntodea. Rarono-kai ihi' dunia', lompe' manusia' lompe' mala'eka.

⁹For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.

¹⁰Kai' rapatiwojo tauna apa' mpopalele-kai Kareba Kristus, hiaa' koi' mpo'uli' monoto-mi-koina nono-ni! Kai', lente-kai, hiaa' koi' mpo'uli' moroho-mi-koina pepangala' -ni! Koi', rabila' -ko-koina ihi' dunia', hiaa' kai' raruge'!

¹⁰We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.

¹¹Duu' rata tempo tohe'i, uma hono' pongkoni' -kai, uma hono' ponginu-kai, uma hono' pohea-kai. Ntora raweba' -kai. Uma monoa' katidaa-kai.

¹¹Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;

¹²Mobago ngkoro-kai hante pale-kai moto. Ane ria to mpotipo' -kai, kihiwili-raka rasi'. Ane ria to mpobalinai' -kai, kipengkatarii.

¹²and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;

¹³Ane ria to mpolibui' -kai, kitompoi' -ra hante ka'olu-na. Kai' raponcawa momo hi dunia' toi, ranaa mpota'i-kai duu' rata tempo toi.

¹³being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.

¹⁴Ompi' -ompi'! Patuju-ku mpololitai-koi hewa toe-e, uma-kuwo bona mpo'eai' -koi. Lolita-ku toi, mpoparesai' -koi, kuponcawa ana' -ku to kupe'ahi' -koi.

¹⁴I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

¹⁵Apa' nau' ba moncobu-mi guru-ni to mpotete' -koi hi petuku' -ni hi Kristus, muntu' aku' to nipotuama, apa' aku' -mi to lomo' -na mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi koi', alaa-na mepangala' -mokoi hi Kristus Yesus.

¹⁵For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel.

¹⁶Toe pai' kuperapi' mpu'u ompi' bona nituku' po'ingku-ku.

¹⁶I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.

¹⁷Jadi', tungkai' kuhubui-i Timotius tilou mpohirua' -kokoi. Timotius toei, kuponcawa ana' -ku moto-i to kupe'ahi', to tida hi rala pobago Pue'. Ane rata-i mpai', napopokiwoii-damo-koi beiwa po'ingku-ku hi petuku' -ku hi Kristus, hewa to kutudui' -raka hawe'ea to Kristen hi butu ngata kahilouaa-ku.

¹⁷For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.

¹⁸Ria-koi nte ba hangkuja dua to molangko nono-ni, ni'uli' uma-apa mpai' daho' tilou mpohirua' -kokoi.

¹⁸Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

¹⁹Ntaa' tilou moto-ada mpai', uma-pi mahae ane napokono Pue'. Hi rehe'e-damo mpai', pai' kuhilo napa to rababehi tauna to molangko nono-ra tetura ria. Kuhilo ba mokuasa mpu'u-ra, ba hi wiwi-ra-wadi.

¹⁹But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.

²⁰Apa' ane Alata'ala jadi' Magau' -ta, nabalii' kehi-ta hante baraka' -na. Neo' mpai' ta'uli': "Alata'ala Magau' -ta," hiaa' uma tabalii' kehi-ta.

²⁰For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

²¹Jadi', to'uma to nipokono: ane rata-a pai' ko'ia oa' nibalii' kehi-ni, ngkerepa' mpai' lolita-ku mpoparesai' -koi. Tapi' ane mobali' -mi kehi-ni, mo'olu pai' ma'ahi' -a mpai' hi koi'.

²¹What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
