 Ku'uli' tarima kasi hi Pue' Alata'ala, apa' ngkai lomo' -na duu' tempo toi-e nitulungi ncuu-a hi rala bago-ku mpopalele Kareba Lompe'.

 Mosampaya-a bona monoa' oa' po'ingku-ni sabana pobago Yesus Kristus hi rala tuwu' -ni, alaa-na wori' tauna mpo'une' pai' mpomobohe Alata'ala. 

 ¶ Jadi', bona ni'inca ompi', nau' ratarungku' -a tohe'i-e, goe' moto-a, apa' ngkai karatarungku' -ku toi, kawoo-woria' lau-mi tauna to mpo'epe Kareba Lompe'. 

 Tantara to mpodoo tomi magau' pai' hawe'ea tauna hi rehe'i mpo'inca karatarungku' -ku toi apa' batua Kristus-a.

 ¶ Apa' ane aku' tuwu', Kristus-mile to tuwu' hi rala tuwu' -kue. Pai' nau' ba mate-a, kurasi' lia. 

 Aga ane tuwu' -a-pada hi dunia' toi, ma'ala-a-pidi mpokamu bago to mokalaua. Jadi', uma ku'incai to'uma-i to kupelihi. 

 To ronyala toe mpomediii' nono-ku. Doko' lia-a mpalahii dunia' toi pai' hilou tida dohe Kristus, apa' toe to meliu kalompe' -na. 

 Aga ane tuwu' -a-pada hi dunia' toi, bohe-pi kalaua-na hi koi' ompi', apa' niparaluu-a-pidi. 

 Toe monoto lia hi rala nono-ku. Toe pai' ku'uli', bate tuwu' -a-pada mpai', pai' kupoka'ala-pidi tilou mpencuai' -koi, mpotulungi-koi bona tampai karoho pepangala' -ni hi Pue' Yesus pai' tampai kagoe' -ni mepangala' hi Hi'a. 

 Jadi', ane ria-apa mpai' nculii' dohe-ni pai' nihilo-ama, karoo-rohoa-mi nono-ni mpo'une' Kristus Yesus. 

 ¶ Jadi', nau' ba napa to jadi' hi aku', po'ingku-ni kana to masipato' hi tauna to mpotuku' Kareba Lompe' Kristus. Ba kupohirua' -pidi-kokoi mpai' ompi' ba uma-pi, kusarumaka ku'epe moto mpai' kareba to mpo'uli' katida pokore-ni, hanono pai' hintuwu' -koi mobago bona wori' tauna mepangala' hi Kareba Lompe'. 

 Nau' ba napa-napa to jadi', neo' mpu'u-koi me'eka' hi tauna to mpo'ewa-koi. Apa' toe mpakanoto kanahuku' -ra mpai' Alata'ala, pai' koi' ompi' tebahaka ngkai huku', apa' Alata'ala mpobahaka-koi ngkai huku' jeko' -ni. 

 Neo' -koi me'eka', apa' Alata'ala mpelihi-koi uma muntu' mepangala' hi Kristus, tapi' napelihi wo'o-koi bona mporata kaparia bona hanga' Kristus rapomobohe. 

 Jadi' hewa toe lau, mporata kaparia mpu'u-mokoi, hibalia hante kaparia to kurata aku' toi-e, lompe' kaparia to nihilo moto-mi bula-ku ria-pidi dohe-ni wengi, lompe' kaparia to kurata hi rehe'i-e, hewa to ni'epe moto-mi.
