¹Tohe'i-e katolu ngkani-na-ama mpai' tilou mpencuai' -koi. Kiwoi-koi lolita Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': "Ane ria tauna to rapakilu mpobabehi sala', kana ria nte rodua ba tolu to jadi' sabi', bona monoa' -mi kara-kara-na."

¹This third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every matter be established.

²Bula-ku dohe-ni karongkani-na wengi, kupopo'ingai' -ramo to mojeko'. Jadi', tempo toi, bula-ku molaa-pidi, kuhulii' wo'o-mi paresa' -ku hi hira' pai' hi hema-hema to mparaluu paresa' toi: ane rata-apa mpai', karapo' mpu'u-a, uma-ra mpai' haduaa to tebahaka ngkai roe-ku.

²I have declared beforehand, and I say beforehand as present the second time, and now absent, to those that have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare.

³Bo ria-koi to merapi' bona kupopohiloi-koi tanda kanapowiwi-na Kristus mpu'u-a, wae-pi popea! Ane rata-apa mpai' hi retu, nihilo moto mpai' kuasa to nawai' -ka Kristus! Uma mpai' lente paresa' Kristus to kuparata-kokoi, ni'epe moto mpai' karoho-na.

³Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, (who is not weak towards you, but is powerful among you,

⁴Lente mpu'u-ile wengi Kristus nto'u karaparika' -nae. Aga tuwu' nculii' -imi sabana karohoa to ngkai Alata'ala. Kai' wo'o ompi', lente wo'o-kai hangkaa-ngkania hante Kristus. Aga ngkai karohoa-na Alata'ala, bate mporata-kai katuwua' to bo'u hangkaa-ngkania hante Kristus. Jadi' ane rata-a mpai' ompi', nihilo moto karohoa to nawai' -kakai Alata'ala toe.

⁴for if indeed he has been crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power; for indeed *we* are weak in him, but we shall live with him by God's power towards you,)

⁵Ompi' -ompi', niparesa' nono-ni moto, ba makono mpu'u-mi pepangala' -ni hi Kristus. Wile nono-ni moto. Ba uma monoto hi koi' ompi' kamo'oha' -na Kristus Yesus hi rala nono-ni? Nee-neo' mpai' boa' -wadi pepangala' -ni.

⁵examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?

⁶Kusarumaka ompi', monoto wo'o-mi hi koi' kabela-nakai suro to boa'.

⁶Now I hope that ye will know that *we* are not reprobates.

⁷Mekakae-kai hi Alata'ala bona neo' -koi mpobabehi to sala'. Patuju-kai mosampaya hewa toe, uma-hawo bona monoto kasuro-na Pue' Yesus mpu'u-kai. Patuju-kaile, bona koi' ompi' mpobabehi to lompe'. Nau' tauna to hantongo' tetura tilou mposapuaka oa' kuasa-kai, uma beiwa, asala koi' ompi' mpobabehi to lompe'.

⁷But we pray to God that ye may do nothing evil; not that *we* may appear approved, but that *ye* may do what is right, and *we* be as reprobates.

⁸Asala nituku' napa to makono, uma-hawo ma'ala kilawa' -koi. Doko' kitulungi oa' -dakoi mpotuku' napa to makono-e.

⁸For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

⁹Goe' nono-kai nau' lente-kai, asala koi' -mi to moroho. Mosampaya-kai bona monoto nono-ni mpotuku' Pue'.

⁹For we rejoice when *we* may be weak and *ye* may be powerful. But this also we pray for, your perfecting.

¹⁰Toe-die pai' ku'uki' ami' -kokoi sura tohe'i-e bula-ku molaa-pidi, bona ane rata-apa mpai', uma-apa karapo' hante kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue'. Apa' nawai' -a kuasa toi bona mporohoi pepangala' -ni, uma mpokero pepangala' -ni.

¹⁰On this account I write these things being absent, that being present I may not use severity according to the authority which the Lord has given me for building up, and not for overthrowing.

¹¹Ka'omea-na ompi', kana goe' -koi. Pakanoto petuku' -ni hi Pue', pakaroho nono-ni hante paresa' -ku, hanono lau-mokoi pai' tuwu' hintuwu'. Pai' Alata'ala mpodohei-koi: napopohiloi-koi ahi' -na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.

¹¹For the rest, brethren, rejoice; be perfected; be encouraged; be of one mind; be at peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹²Mometabe-tabe-koi hante nono mpu'u ane hirua' -koi hi pogamparaa.

¹²Salute one another with a holy kiss.

¹³(G13-12) Hawe'ea topepangala' hi Yesus to hi rehe'i mpakatu tabe hi koi' ompi'.

¹³All the saints salute you.

¹⁴(G13-13) Pue' Yesus Kristus mpogane' -koi, Alata'ala tida mpoka'ahi' -koi, duu' -na Inoha' Tomoroli' mpopohintuwu' -koi pai' mpodohei-koi omea. Hudu rei.

¹⁴The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, [be] with you all.
