¹Ni'inca moto ompi' uma-wakai lenge' mara mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi koi'.

¹For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:

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.

²but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict.

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.

³For our exhortation [is] not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

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.

⁴but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proveth our hearts.

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!

⁵For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;

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.

⁶nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

⁷Aga uma kibabehi hewa toe. Bula-kai retu-pidi wengi, mo'alusu' po'ingku-kai, hewa hadua totina mpewili' ana' -na.

⁷But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:

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.

⁸even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us.

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.

⁹For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

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.

¹⁰Ye are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:

¹¹Ni'inca moto pepewili' -kai hi koi' butu dua-ni, hewa hadua tuama mpewili' ana' -ana' -na. Kirohoi pai' ki'apui nono-ni,

¹¹as ye know how we [dealt with] each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging [you], and testifying,

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.

¹²to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.

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'.

¹³And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, [even the word] of God, ye accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.

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.

¹⁴For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;

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.

¹⁵who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;

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.

¹⁶forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

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.

¹⁷But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:

¹⁸Ria mpu'u-mi wengi hawa' -kai ke tilou mpencuai' -koie. Aku' Paulus, ba hangkuja ngkani-ama moliwo tilou, aga Magau' Anudaa' melawa'.

¹⁸because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.

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'.

¹⁹For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

²⁰Bate koi' -mile kabohea pai' kagoea' nono-kaie!

²⁰For ye are our glory and our joy.
