 ¶ Jadi' ngkai toe-mi, aku' Paulus, batua-na Kristus Yesus, mosampaya hi Alata'ala, mposampayai-koi. Aku' toi, bula-ku ratarungku' -kuna, sabana mpokeni-a Kareba Lompe' hi koi' to bela-koi to Yahudi.

 Tantu ni'epe-mi beiwa Alata'ala mpowai' -a pobago-ku toi, bona mpokeni-a Kareba Lompe' to mpo'uli' kama'ahi' -na Alata'ala hi koi' to bela-koi to Yahudi.

 Owi, ria patuju-na Alata'ala to ko'ia ra'incai manusia'. Patuju-na toe-le: bona tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi mporata wo'o-ra-rawo rasi' ngkai Alata'ala hangkaa-ngkania hante to Yahudi. Patuju-na wo'o, bona to bela-ra to Yahudi hawoto lau-ramo hante to Yahudi, pai' -ra mporata wo'o-rawo napa to najanci Alata'ala hi hawe'ea ana' -na. Mporata-ra toe, ngkai posidaia' -ra hante Kristus Yesus, apa' lawi' mepangala' -ramo hi Kareba Lompe'. Owi, patuju Alata'ala hante to Yahudi pai' to bela-ra to Yahudi toe ko'ia ra'incai manusia'. Aga Alata'ala moto-mi mpopo'incai-a patuju-na toe hi rala pangila, hewa to oti-mi ku'uki' we'i. To ku'uki' toe, nau' rede' -wadi, aga mpakanoto patuju-na Alata'ala to napadupa' Kristus. Pai' ane nibasa, nipaha mpai' patuju-na Alata'ala to ko'ia ra'incai manusia' ngkai owi-e, hewa to kupaha wo'o-kuwo aku'. Ri'ulu, patuju-na toe uma raparata hi manusia'. Aga tempo toi patuju Alata'ala toe monoto-mi hi kai' suro-na pai' nabi-na to moroli', apa' Inoha' Tomoroli' mpakanoto-mikakai.

 Jadi' aku' -mi to mpokeni Kareba Lompe' to mpo'uli' beiwa ohea-na Alata'ala mpopohintuwu' to Yahudi pai' to bela-ra to Yahudi. Pobago-ku mpokeni Kareba Lompe' toe kuponcawa rasi' bohe, apa' ngkai kabula rala-na Alata'ala, na'ongko' -a jadi' topobago-na, pai' narohoi-a hante karohoa to ngkai Hi'a moto bona kukule' mpokamu bago toe.

 Ngkai hawe'ea topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus, aku' toi-mi-kuna to meliu kakedi' tuwu' -ku. Aga nau' wae, aku' lau-di to napompowaii' rasi' toe, bona aku' to mpopalele Kareba Lompe' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi, mpo'uli' -raka kabohe rasi' to tarata ngkai Kristus, to uma bisa rapetudu manusia'.

 Nawai' wo'o-a bago mpakanoto hi hawe'ea tauna beiwa Alata'ala mpopohintuwu' to Yahudi pai' to bela-ra to Yahudi ngkai posidaia' -ra hante Yesus. Ngkai owi, Alata'ala to mpajadi' langi' bo dunia', ko'ia napopehuwu patuju-na toe.

 Patuju-na, bona ntepu'u ngkai tempo toi napopohiloi hi hawe'ea topoparenta pai' anu mobaraka' to hi lolo raoa kamonoto-na mpohawai' butu nyala-na. Napopohiloi-ra toe hi kanapopohintuwu' -ra to Yahudi pai' to bela-ra to Yahudi ngkai posidaia' -ra hante Kristus.

 Alata'ala mpobabehi hawe'ea toe ntuku' patuju-na to napakatantu ngkai lomo' kajadi' dunia', pai' patuju-na toe napadupa' hi rala woto-na Kristus Yesus Pue' -ta.

 Ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Kristus Yesus toe-mi, pai' ngkai pepangala' -ta hi Hi'a, daho' -tamo mpomohui' Alata'ala, uma-pi morara' nono-ta, apa' ta'inca-mi kanatarima-ta.

 Ngkai toe-mi, ompi', kuperapi' bona neo' mere' nono-ni mpo'epe karatarungku' -ku, apa' napa to kutodohaka toi mpokeni rasi' hi koi'.

 ¶ Toe-mi ompi' -ompi' to bela-koi to Yahudi, ane kupenonoi hawe'ea rasi' to nirata-mi ngkai posidaia' -ni hante Kristus, mowingkotu' -ama hi nyanyoa Alata'ala to Tuama,

 to Tapotuama omea, lompe' kita' to hi dunia', lompe' hawe'ea ihi' suruga.

 Mosampaya-a hi Alata'ala to bohe lia baraka' -na, kuperapi' bona ngkai baraka' -na to bohe toe narohoi nono-ni hante Inoha' -na,

 duu' -na Kristus tida mo'oha' hi rala nono-ni ngkai pepangala' -ni. Mosampaya-a bona katuwu' -ni telihii hante ahi' Alata'ala, pai' ahi' -na toe morali' hi rala nono-ni.

 Mosampaya-a bona koi', hangkaa-ngkania hante hawe'ea topepangala' hi Kristus, mpo'inca ka'uma-na mowo kabohe-na ahi' Kristus hi kita'. Ahi' -na toe uma hudu ra'uli', uma ma'ala rapetudu kanala-na, pai' uma takulei' mpohuka' kabohe-na. Mosampaya-a bona nirasai ahi' -na toe hi rala katuwu' -ni, bona hawe'ea to ria hi Alata'ala ria wo'o hi koi'.

 Bohe lia baraka' -na Alata'ala to mobago hi rala katuwu' -ta. Hante baraka' -na toe ma'ala nababehi meliu tena ngkai hawe'ea to taperapi', ma'ala nababehi meliu tena ngkai hawe'ea to tapekiri.

 Toe pai' masipato' lia tapomobohe hanga' -na sabana ahi' -na hi kita' to mpopangala' -i. Une' -imi hante hanga' Kristus Yesus, ngkai wae lau duu' kahae-hae-na. Amin.
