Chapter 3

¶ Uma mowo kabohe ahi' -na Alata'ala to Tuama hi kita', duu' -na nakahangai' -tamo ana' -na. Pai' bate wae mpu'u. Ana' Alata'ala mpu'u-tamo. Tauna to uma mepangala' hi Yesus uma mpo'incai kakita' -na ana' Alata'ala, apa' uma-ra mpo'incai Alata'ala.

Ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi'! Tempo toi, ana' Alata'ala-tamo. Ko'ia ta'incai mpu'u kabeiwa-na mpai' katuwu' -ta hi eo mpeno, apa' ko'ia-ta rapopo'incai. Aga to ta'inca-na: ane rata nculii' -i-damo mpai' Kristus-e, hewa Hi'a wo'o-tamo-tawo, apa' bate lence-na mpu'u-mi mpai' to tahilo.

Hawe'ea tauna to ncarumaka Kristus hewa toe, bate mpakaroli' katuwu' -ra, hewa kamoroli' -na Kristus.

¶ Hawe'ea tauna to mpobabehi jeko', mpotiboki hawa' Alata'ala. Apa' toe-mi to rahanga' jeko', mpotiboki hawa' Alata'ala.

Pai' ni'inca moto ompi', patuju-na Yesus mehupa' hi dunia', bona mpolali jeko' manusia'. Hiaa' Hi'a moto, uma-hana ria jeko' -na.

Jadi', hawe'ea tauna to tida hintuwu' hante Hi'a, uma-rapa mpobabehi jeko'. Hawe'ea tauna to mpobabehi jeko' oa', uma-ra mpohiloi-i pai' uma-ra mpo'incai-i.

Ana' -ana' -ku, neo' nipelele' -ra ba hema-hema to doko' mpobagiu-koi. Tauna to mpobabehi konoa Alata'ala, tauna to monoa' -ra, hewa kamonoa' -na Yesus.

Tauna to mpobabehi jeko' oa', napo'ana' Magau' Anudaa' -ra. Apa' Magau' Anudaa', topojeko' ngkai lomo' -na ami' -imi-hana. Toi-mi patuju-na Ana' Alata'ala mehupa' hi dunia', bona mpogero bago-na Magau' Anudaa'.

Hawe'ea tauna to napo'ana' Alata'ala, uma-rapa mpobabehi jeko' oa', apa' mporata-ramo katuwua' to bo'u ngkai Alata'ala. Uma-ra bisa mpobabehi jeko' oa', apa' napo'ana' Alata'ala-ramo.

Toi-mi pompetonoi-na, bona ta'inca hema to napo'ana' Alata'ala pai' hema to napo'ana' Magau' Anudaa'. Hawe'ea tauna to uma mpobabehi konoa Alata'ala, bela-ra ana' Alata'ala. Wae wo'o tauna to uma mpoka'ahi' ompi' -ra, bela-ra ana' Alata'ala.

¶ Toi-mi kareba to ni'epe ngkai lomo' -na: kana momepoka'ahi' -ta hadua bo hadua.

Neo' -ta mpenau' kehi Kain owi. Kain toei, napo'ana' anudaa' -i, alaa-na mpopatehi-i tu'ai-na. Napa pai' alaa-na mpopatehi-i tu'ai-na? Apa' dada'a-hana po'ingku-na, hiaa' po'ingku tu'ai-na monoa'.

Toe-mi ompi', neo' nikehelei ane tauna to uma mepangala' hi Yesus mpokahuku' -koi.

¶ Ane mpoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta, ta'inca katebahaka-tami ngkai kamatea pai' mporata-tamo katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na. Tauna to uma mpoka'ahi' ompi' -ra, ko'ia-ra tebahaka ngkai kamatea.

Hawe'ea tauna to mpokahuku' ompi' -ra, hibalia topepatehi-ra-hana. Pai' ni'inca moto ompi': tauna topepatehi uma mporata katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.

Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca to ra'uli' ahi': Yesus mpewai' tuwu' -na bona kita' mporata kalompea'. Jadi', kita' wo'o kana mpewai' tuwu' -ta mpotulungi ompi' -ta.

Rapa' -na ria hadua tauna to nakariai rewa dunia' toi, pai' mpohilo-i ompi' -na nakakurai' ba napa-napa, pai' nanaa mara-wadi, uma natulungi, tantu tauna toe uma-i ma'ahi' hewa Alata'ala.

Ana' -ana' -ku, neo' ma'ahi' hi wiwi-wadi, neo' ta'uli' kampoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta pai' uma tababehi napa-napa mpotulungi-ra. Ma'ahi' -ta hante kehi-ta, apa' toe-mi ahi' to makono mpu'u.

Ane mpoka'ahi' -ta ompi' -ta, toe-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca mpu'u kakita' -na ana' Alata'ala, alaa-na rodo-mi nono-ta mponyanyo-i.

¶ Ane uma rodo nono-ta apa' mpenonoi sala' -ta, ma'ala oa' tapakarodo nono-ta, apa' Alata'ala mpo'inca omea tuwu' -ta, pai' ahi' -na hi kita' meliu kabohe-na ngkai nono-ta to mposalai' -ta toe.

Jadi', ompi' -ompi' to kupe'ahi', ane nono-ta uma-pi mposalai' -ta, daho' -tamo mponyanyo Alata'ala,

pai' napa-napa to taperapi' bate nawai' -ta, apa' tatuku' hawa' -na pai' tababehi napa to mpakagoe' nono-na.

¶ Toi-mile hawa' -nae: mepangala' -tamo hi Yesus Kristus Ana' -na, pai' momepoka'ahi' -ta hadua bo hadua, ntuku' to nahawai' -taka.

Tauna to mpotuku' hawa' Alata'ala, tida-ra hintuwu' hante Hi'a, pai' Hi'a hante hira'. Toi-mi pompetonoi-na bona ta'inca katida-na Alata'ala hintuwu' hante kita', apa' nawai' -tamo Inoha' -na.
