¹Alata'ala mpo'ongko' -kai jadi' topobago-na, kipakule' mpokamu bago toi sabana petulungi-na hi kai'. Toe pai' uma mere' nono-kai.

¹Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we don’t faint.

²Kitadi-mi hawe'ea gau' to me'eai', uma ria to kiwunii', uma-kai mpobagiu doo, uma-kai mpohala'weo Lolita Alata'ala. Mpoparata-kai napa to makono hante kalonto' -lonto' -na, bona hawe'ea tauna mpangaku' kamakono-na kareba to kikeni. Alata'ala mpotiroi-kai!

²But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

³Ria moto tauna to uma mpangalai' Kareba Lompe' to kikeni. Tauna to mpotoa' naraka, hira' toe-mi to uma mpangalai' -e. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli', ria to mpoputu' nono-ra alaa-na uma-ra dota mpangala' Kareba Lompe'.

³Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;

⁴Noto anudaa' to mpokuasai dunia' toi mpohilingai' -ra, bona neo' -ra mpangalai' Kareba Lompe'. Baja ngkai Kareba Lompe' uma mpobajahi nono-ra. Jadi', uma oa' ra'incai kabohe tuwu' -na Kristus, to hibalia tuwu' -na hante Alata'ala.

⁴in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

⁵Uma-kai mpopalele hanga' -kai moto. To kipalele-hanale, kareba to mpo'uli' Yesus Kristus Kahi'a-na Pue'. Pai' kai' -kaiwo, batua-nikai, ntuku' hawa' -na Yesus.

⁵For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake;

⁶Apa' nto'u Alata'ala mpopajadi' langi' pai' dunia', na'uli' hewa toi: "Ngkai kabengia-na mehupa' baja!" Pai' Alata'ala toe wo'o-mi to mpobajahi nono-ta, bona ta'inca kabohe tuwu' -na. Hewa to Yahudi owi mpohilo pehini-na Alata'ala hi lio-na Musa, wae wo'o ta'inca kabohe tuwu' -na Alata'ala ane ta'inca-imi Yesus Kristus.

⁶seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” Genesis 1:3 who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁷Bohe mpu'u baraka' to mobago hi rala katuwu' -kai, apa' Alata'ala mposarumaka-kai mpokeni baja-na toe. Hiaa' kai', manusia' -wadi-ka-kaiwo. Kai' hewa kura tana' -wadi, aga nau' wae, to ihia' rewa to masuli' lia oli-na. Ngkai toe-mi, monoto hi hawe'ea tauna baraka' to ria hi kai', baraka' to ngkai Alata'ala, bela baraka' -kai moto.

⁷But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.

⁸Ngki'ii ngka'ana narumpa' -kai kaparia, aga uma-kai te'upi'. Pontu-na tuhu-mi nono-kai, aga uma mere' nono-kai.

⁸We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;

⁹Rasesa' -kai, aga Pue' uma mpopalahii-kai. Rapao' -kai alaa-kai padungka-dungka, aga uma-kai mate.

⁹pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;

¹⁰Hiapa pomakoa' -kai, mponyanyo kamatea ncuu-kai hibalia hante Pue' Yesus. Toe majadi' bona monoto hi hawe'ea tauna katuwu' -na Yesus hi rala nono-kai.

¹⁰always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

¹¹Batua-na: bula-kai tuwu' -pidi hi dunia' toi, ria oa' tauna to doko' mpopatehi-kai apa' mpotuku' Pue' Yesus. Toe majadi' bona monoto hi hawe'ea tauna katuwu' -na nculii' -mi Pue' Yesus, apa' rahilo baraka' -na hi rala woto-kai to lente toi.

¹¹For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

¹²Jadi', mponyanyo kamatea ncuu-kai. Aga uma kitapari, apa' ngkai pobago-kai toe, koi' mporata katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.

¹²So then death works in us, but life in you.

¹³Hi rala Buku Tomoroli', te'uki' hewa toi: "Ngkai pepangala' -ku, pai' daho' -a mololita." Bate hewa toe wo'o-maka-kaiwo. Mepangala' -kai hi Pue' Ala, toe pai' daho' -kai mololita.

¹³But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, “I believed, and therefore I spoke.” Psalm 116:10 We also believe, and therefore also we speak;

¹⁴Alata'ala mpotuwu' nculii' Pue' Yesus. Toe pai' ki'inca bate rata mpai' tempo-na napotuwu' nculii' wo'o-kai kai' dohe Pue' Yesus, pai' narumpu-kai hi nyanyoa-na, hangkaa-ngkania hante koi'.

¹⁴knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

¹⁵Hawe'ea kasusaa' to kikolo, kikolo bona koi' mporata kalompea'. Apa' ane kawoo-woria' tauna mpo'epe Kareba Lompe' pai' Alata'ala mpohore-ra ngkai huku' jeko' -ra sabana kabula rala-na, kawoo-woria' wo'o to mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala, alaa-na hanga' -na rapomobohe.

¹⁵For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

¹⁶Jadi', toe pai' ku'uli' we'i, uma mere' nono-kai. Nau' woto-kai toi ka'uu-uncua roho-na, aga nono-kai rabo'ui ncuu butu eo-na.

¹⁶Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷Kasusaa' to tarata tempo toi, monangko' pai' hampai' -wadi. Pai' ngkai katida-ta hi rala kasusaa' toi, mporata-ta mpai' kabohe tuwu' to tida duu' kahae-hae-na. Kasusaa' to tarata tempo toi, hangkedi' siu' -wadi ane tapopohibalia hante kabohe tuwu' to tarata hi eo mpeno.

¹⁷For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁸Jadi', uma-ta mpenonoi napa to kahiloa. To tapenonoi-le, to ko'ia kahiloa. Apa' to kahiloa, hampai' -wadi. To ko'ia kahiloa tida duu' kahae-hae-na.

¹⁸while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
