 ¶ Ngkai toe-mi ompi' -ompi', ohe'i paresa' ngkai aku' to ratarungku' sabana pobago-ku hi Pue': kuparesai' -koi bona mo'ingku-koi hewa to masipato' hi ana' Alata'ala, apa' lawi' nakio' -mokoi jadi' ana' -na.

 ¶ Kana dingki' nono-ta pai' mo'olu oa' kehi-ta hi butu nyala-na. Neo' mpotima' kasalaa' doo, agina mosabara pai' moloe ahi' -ta hi himpau kita'.

 Peloo-lompehi bona neo' ria posisalaa, apa' Inoha' Tomoroli' -mi to mpopohintuwu' -ta omea. Kahintuwuaa' -ta toe kana tapewili' lompe'.

 Hawe'ea-ta to mepangala' hi Yesus Kristus, hewa to hawoto lau-ta-wadi, pai' hadua lau-wadi Inoha' Tomoroli' to hi rala nono-ta omea. Hibalia-wadi poncarumakaa-ta omea, apa' Alata'ala mpokio' -ta jadi' ana' -na.

 Hadua-wadi Pue' -ta, hanyala-wadi pepangala' -ta, pai' hibalia wo'o-wadi karaniu' -ta hi petuku' -ta hi Pue' Yesus.

 Hadua lau-wadi Alata'ala to Tapotuama omea, pai' Hi'a to mpokuasai omea, to mpobago omea, pai' to mpo'ohai' -ta omea.

 Aga nau' ria kahibalia-ta toe, uma hibalia kola' -ta, apa' hi butu-butu dua-nata hore-hore rawai' pakulea' mpokamu bago Pue', ntuku' napa to nakolai' -taka Kristus.

 Toe pai' ria lolita Buku Tomoroli' owi to mpolowa Kristus, moni-na hewa toi: Ka'oti-na mpodagi bali' -na, ngkahe' -imi hilou hi po'ohaa' to hi kalangkoa-na, pai' -i mpobagi rasi' hi ntodea-na."

 Napa batua-na lolita tohe'e? Ane ngkahe' -i hilou hi kalangkoa-na, tantu mana'u ncala' -i tumai hi kadingkia' -na, batua-na hi dunia' tohe'i.

 Kristus to mana'u toei, Hi'a wo'o-wadi to ngkahe' hilou duu' -na mporata-i pohuraa to meliu kalangko-na ngkai hawe'ea to hi langi', bona Hi'a to mpokuasai butu nyala-na.

 Nabagi-taka rasi' toe bona hawe'ea topetuku' -na rarewai hono', bona tapakule' mpewili' bago-na pai' bona kamoroo-rohoa posidaia' -ta hante Hi'a pai' hi himpau ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta hi rala Woto Kristus.

 Nabagi-taka rasi' toe, duu' -na rata mpai' tempo-na kita' omea jadi' hanono lau-ta-damo apa' kita' omea mpo'inca pai' mpopangala' Ana' Alata'ala. Kamoroo-rohoa pai' kamonoo-notoa-tamo, duu' -na uma-pi ria kakuraa' -ta, hibalia hante Kristus-tamo.

 Ane hewa toe-tamo, uma-tapa hewa ana' -ana' to jolia rabagiu ba hewa rauniri to nawaro ngolu' hilou tumai. Uma-tapa katuku' -tuku' hinyai' tudui' -tudui', uma-pi ncaliu ta'ome' lolita tauna to doko' mpobagiu-ta hante akala-ra to mepanawu'.

Wae wo'o kita' to mepangala' hi Kristus: ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Hi'a, mosidai' -tamo hi himpau kita'. Pai' ane butu-butu dua-nata hore-hore mpewili' bago to nabagii-taka Pue', kamoroo-rohoa petuku' -ta hi Pue', pai' katedoo-donihia kahintuwuaa' -ta hadua bo hadua sabana ahi' -ta hi himpau kita'.

 ¶ Ngkai toe-mi, hante kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue' tohe'i, ku'uli' pai' kuparesai' -koi hante kanoto-noto-na: neo' -pi nituku' po'ingku tauna to uma mpo'incai Alata'ala, apa' uma mokalaua pekiri-ra.

 Mobengi nono-ra. Uma raratai katuwua' to ngkai Alata'ala, apa' uma mpu'u ra'incai tudui' to makono ngkai Alata'ala. Uma ra'incai apa' ngkai kamotu'a nono-ra.

 Uma-pi ra'incai me'ea', alaa-na mpotuku' -ra konoa woto-ra to dada'a, pai' rapokono rahi mpobabehi butu nyala gau' to uma tumotoa.

 Hiaa' koi', bela gau' to hewa toe to natudui' -kokoi Kristus.

 Tantu ni'epe-mi libu' -na, pai' ngkai posidaia' -ni hante Hi'a ratudui' -mokoi tudui' to makono to tarata ngkai Yesus.

 Ratudui' -mokoi hewa toi: kana nibahakai po'ingku-ni to ri'ulu to nituku' kako'ia-ni mepangala' hi Pue'. Hawe'ea kahinaa to nituku' nto'u toe mpopanawu' -koi pai' mpogero katuwu' -ni.

 Pai' ngkai ree babehi-mi po'ingku to bo'u, apa' lawi' Alata'ala mpopajadi' -mokoi manusia' to bo'u, to monoa' pai' moroli' mpu'u, ntuku' po'ingku-na Alata'ala.

 Toe-mi ompi', bahakai mpu'u-mi po'ingku-ni to ri'ulu toe: neo' -pi moboa', agina mpo'uli' to monoa' hi doo, apa' kita' omea bagia ngkai Woto Kristus-tamo.

 Ane moroe, neo' roe-ta tohe'e mpakeni-ta mojeko'. Neo' -ta moroe duu' limpa eo,

 Tauna to biasa manako, neo' -pi-hawo manako oa'. Agina mobago-ra hante pale-ra moto mpali' pongkoni' -ra, bona ma'ala-ra mpobagii doo to nakakurai'.

 Neo' ria lolita to dada'a howa' ngkai wiwi-ta. Agina mpohowa' lolita to mpotulungi pai' mporohoi nono doo, hewa to masipato'. Lolita to hewa toe mpokeni kalompea' hi tauna to mpo'epe.

 Pelompehi po'ingku-ta bona neo' mpopedahi nono Inoha' Tomoroli' to nawai' -taka Alata'ala. Kiwoi-e': Inoha' Tomoroli' toei hewa saa' hi rala nono-ta, apa' Hi'a to jadi' pompetonoi-na kakita' -na bagia-na Alata'ala. Ngkai karia-na Inoha' Tomoroli' hi rala nono-ta toe, monoa' -mi ta'inca karata mpai' tempo-na Alata'ala mpobahaka mpu'u-ta ngkai dunia' to dada'a toi.

 Jadi', bahaka-mi hawe'ea kehi to hewa toi: jolia peda' nono, moroe pai' mowuku nono, motuda', metipo' pai' metuntui'-- bahaka-mi omea hante hawe'ea kehi ntani' -na to dada'a.

 Kana lompe' nono-ta pai' momepoka'ahi' -ta hadua bo hadua, pai' mpo'ampungi sala' doo, hewa Alata'ala mpo'ampungi sala' -ta sabana posidaia' -ta hante Kristus.
