¹Toi paresa' -ku hi tauna topo'ua'. Motantangi' -mokoi pai' geo', apa' narumpa' -koi mpai' kaparia.

¹Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.

²Ka'uaa' -ni moronto-mi. Pohea-ni ntoto' -mi.

²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

³Bulawa pai' salaka' to niloju', ta'igaraa' -mi. Pai' ka'uaa' -ni to ta'igaraa' tetu mpai' jadi' tanda kahala' mpopake' -ni ka'uaa' -ni. Mpoloju' -koi rewa hi dunia', hiaa' dunia' toi neo' hudu-mi! Toe pai' rasesa' mpu'u-koi mpai', hewa to nakoni' apu.

³Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.

⁴Tauna to mobago hi bonea-ni, uma-ra niwai' gaji'. Epe-mi pontodohaka-ra! Topobago to mepae hi bonea-ni mekakae mperapi' tulungi, pai' pekakae-ra toe na'epe-mi Pue' Alata'ala, Pue' to bohe baraka' -na.

⁴Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

⁵Koi' hewa porewua to raruduhi pai' rasumale', apa' hi dunia' toi tuwu' mpomaradika-koi, mpali' kagoea' -ni, tapi' ka'omea-na mpai' bate rahuku' -koi.

⁵Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.

⁶Koi' mpohuku' pai' mpopatehi tauna to uma masala', to uma-ra bisa mpo'ewa-koi.

⁶Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you.

⁷Toe-mi ompi', pai' kana tari-ta duu' -na Pue' rata nculii'. Hilo pe' posabara topolia' -e, mpopea-ra duu' -na ria wua' polia' -ra to rasarumaka. Mosabara-ra mpopea uda ka'oti-ra ntuja', duu' -na rata tempo-na mepae.

⁷Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.

⁸Wae wo'o kita' kana mosabara ompi'. Pakatida nono-ta, apa' neo' rata mpu'u-imi Pue' -ta.

⁸Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

⁹Ompi', neo' -ta ngkunuti pai' momesaa-salai', bona neo' -ta rabelahi huku'. Apa' Pue', etu-imi mai hi wobo'! Hi'a-damo mpai' to mpobotuhi omea.

⁹Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.

¹⁰Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Kiwoi-koi nabi owi to mpokeni Lolita Pue'. Mosabara-ra pai' tari-ra mpotodohaka kaparia. Agina tatuku' posabara-ra.

¹⁰Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.

¹¹Apa' hema-ra-kona to ta'uli' morasi' -e? To morasi' -le, tauna to ntaha hi rala kaparia. Ni'inca moto tutura-na Ayub, kantaha-na hi rala kaparia-na. Pai' ni'inca beiwa Pue' mpogane' -i hi ka'omea-na. Apa' Pue', ma'ahi' lia-i, pai' lompe' nono-na.

¹¹Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

¹²Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Ngkai hawe'ea paresa' -ku, toi-mi to meliu mpu'u: Neo' -ta mosumpa, mpokahangai' langi' ba mpokahangai' dunia' ba napa-napa ntani' -na. Ane patuju-ta mpo'uli' io', uli' -mi-hana "Io'." Ane patuju-ta mpo'uli' uma, uli' -mi "Uma," bona neo' -ta rabelahi huku'.

¹²But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

¹³Ane ria hi laintongo' -ta to narumpa' kasusaa', agina mosampaya-i. Ane ria to goe', agina morona' -i mpo'une' Alata'ala.

¹³Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.

¹⁴Ane ria to peda', agina mpokio' -i pangkeni agama, bona pangkeni toera mposampayai-i pai' mpogelai' -i hante lana hi rala hanga' Pue'.

¹⁴Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

¹⁵Ane mosampaya-ra hante nono to mepangala', tauna to peda' bate mo'uri' mpai'. Pue' mpaka'uri' -i, pai' ane ria jeko' -na, ra'ampungi-ki.

¹⁵and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.

¹⁶Toe-mi pai' kana himpau tapangaku' sala' -ta pai' momeposampayai, bona mo'uri' -ta. Posampaya tauna to monoa' nono-ra moso' lia.

¹⁶Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.

¹⁷Kiwoi tutura-na nabi Elia owi. Nabi Elia toei, manusia' hewa kita' wo'o-i-wadi-hawo. Mosampaya-i hante nono-na mpu'u bona neo' udaa. Uma mpu'u-pi dungku uda rala-na tolu mpae ono mula.

¹⁷Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.

¹⁸Oti toe, mosampaya wo'o-imi, duu' -na langi' mpopana'u-mi uda pai' alaa-na ria-mi wua' polia' -ra.

¹⁸And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

¹⁹Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Ane ria doo-ta to meleli' ngkai tudui' to makono, pai' ria hadua to mpotete' -i nculii' hi Pue', lompe' kehi-na toe.

¹⁹My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him;

²⁰Apa' tauna to mpokeni topojeko' nculii' ngkai kehi-na to sala', mpohore-imi ngkai silaka to duu' kahae-hae-na, pai' jeko' -na to wori' te'ampungi-mi.

²⁰let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
