Chapter 1

  ¶  

  Sura toi ngkai aku' Paulus, pai' ngkai Sostenes, kipakatu tilou hi koi' to Kristen hi Korintus, to nakio' Alata'ala jadi' bagia-na. Napomoroli' -mokoi hi posidaia' -ni hante Kristus Yesus, hangkaa-ngkania hante hawe'ea tauna ba hiapa-apa to mekakae hi Yesus Kristus, Pue' -ta pai' Pue' -ra. Aku' mpo'uki' sura toi, apa' lawi' na'ongko' -ama Alata'ala jadi' suro Yesus Kristus ntuku' konoa-na.  

  Wori' tabe: mekakae-a hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta pai' hi Pue' Yesus Kristus, bona nagane' -koi ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.  

  Uma-a putu mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala sabana koi' ompi', apa' Alata'ala mpowai' -koi rasi' ngkai kabula rala-na, hi posidaia' -ni hante Kristus Yesus.  

  Hi posidaia' -ni hante Kristus, nawai' -mokoi butu nyala-na to niparaluu: nawai' -koi kapantea mololita, pai' nawai' -koi kanotoa nono mpakanoto Lolita-na.  

  Hawe'ea toe mpakanoto kamoroho-na mpu'u-mi pepangala' -ni hi Kareba Kristus to kiparata-kokoi,  

  duu' -na uma-pokoi nakakurai' rasi', mporata-mokoi butu nyala pakulea' ngkai Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' -koi mpopea karata-na nculii' Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus.  

  Narohoi-koi duu' hi ka'omea dunia', bona ane rata-ipi nculii' Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus, narata-koi hante uma ria kasalaia' -ni.  

  Alata'ala mpokio' -koi bona hintuwu' -koi hangkaa-ngkania hante Ana' -na, Yesus Kristus Pue' -ta, pai' napadupa' oa' janci-na hi kita'.  

  ¶ Ompi' -ompi', hante kuasa to nawai' -ka Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus, merapi' -a bona hintuwu' -koi omea. Neo' ria posisalaa. Hintuwu' -koi hi rala mpololitai ba napa-napa to nilolita, hanono pai' hahawa' lau.  

  Ompi' -ompi' -ku, patuju-ku mpo'uli' hewa toe, apa' ria-ra ompi' -ta ngkai ihi' tomi Kloe to mpokewo-ka karia-na pomehonoa' -ni.  

  To ku'uli' tohe'i, apa' ria-koi to doko' mopahamalia hi hore-hore hadua tauna. Ria-koi to mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Paulus-a-kuna." Ria to mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Apolos-a." To ntani' -na wo'o mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Petrus." To ntani' -na tena mpo'uli': "Aku' tono' hi Kristus."  

  Ha lompe' -koina, koi' to mpotuku' Kristus tebagi-bagi hewa tetu-e? Ha aku' to mate raparika' mpotolo' jeko' -nie? Ha raniu' bona jadi' topetuku' -kukoi?  

  ¶ Rasi' -di ku'uli' -e apa' uma-koi ria to kuniu', ntani' -na ngkai Krispus pai' Gayus,  

  bona neo' mpai' ria to mpo'uli' kuniu' -koi jadi' topetuku' -ku.  

  (Io' mpu'u. Stefanus hantinaa-ra, aku' mpu'u-hana to mponiu' -ra. Aga ntani' -na ngkai hira' toe, uma-pi kukiwoi ba ria-ra to kuniu'.)  

  ¶ Kristus mpajadi' -a suro-na, uma bona mponiu' tauna. Nasuro-a mpokeni Kareba Lompe'. Ane kuparata Kareba Lompe' toe, uma kupake' kapantea-ku moto mololita. Nee-neo' mpai' tauna mpangala' -a muntu' ngkai kapantea-ku, pai' uma ra'incai baraka' kamate-na Kristus hi kaju parika'.  

  Kiparata kareba to mpo'uli' kamate-na Kristus hi kaju parika' mpotolo' jeko' manusia'. Ane tauna to mpotoa' naraka mpo'epe kareba toe, ra'uli': "Ah, lolita tauna to wojo tetu." Aga ane kita' to nahore-mi Alata'ala ngkai huku' jeko' -ta, ane ta'epe kareba toe, ta'uli': "Bate baraka' Alata'ala tetu-e!"  

  Hi rala Buku Tomoroli' Alata'ala mpo'uli': Nau' hewa apa-mi kapante-ra manusia', kudagi oa' -ra, pai' uma kusaile' akala-ra topo'akala."  

  Napa kalaua-ra tauna to pante? Napa kalaua-ra guru agama Yahudi? Napa kalaua-ra tauna to pante mololita hi rala dunia' toi? Hi poncilo Alata'ala, kapantea manusia' kawojoa omea-wadi.  

  Apa' nau' hewa apa kapantea-ra manusia', uma ra'incai Alata'ala hante kapantea-ra toe. Apa' ntuku' kanoto nono-na Alata'ala, nabotuhi bona hema-hema to mepangala' hi Kareba Lompe', nahore-ra ngkai huku' jeko' -ra. Tapi' ane kiparata Kareba Lompe', tauna to uma mepangala' mpo'uli': "Lolita tauna to wojo tetu."  

  To Yahudi, uma-ra dota mepangala' ane uma kipopohiloi-ra tanda mekoncehi. Hiaa' to Yunani-hawo, uma-ra dota mepangala' ane uma kipakanoto-raka hante kapantea manusia'.  

  Tapi' kai' mpopalele kamate-na Kristus raparika'. Lolita tohe'i rapodaa' to Yahudi, pai' rapakiwojo tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi.  

  Tapi' Alata'ala mpokio' tauna hantongo' jadi' bagia-na. Ria-ra to Yahudi, ria-ra to Yunani. Ane tauna toera mpo'epe Kareba Lompe' pai' -ra mepangala' hi Kristus, ra'inca-mi kabaraka' pai' kanoto nono-na Alata'ala.  

  Ane mpopalele-kai kamate-na Kristus raparika', kai' rapakiwojo manusia'. Aga kakoo-kono-na, meliu kapante-na Alata'ala ngkai kapante-ra manusia'. Manusia' mpo'uli' napa to nababehi Alata'ala toe uma ria kabaraka' -na. Aga meliu kabaraka' -na Alata'ala ngkai baraka' manusia'.  

  Ompi' -ompi', kiwoi tuwu' -ni kako'ia-na nakio' -koi Alata'ala jadi' bagia-na: uma-koi wori' to pante ba to mokuasa ba to tuwu' maradika hi poncilo manusia'.  

  Apa' natungkai' Alata'ala mpelihi tauna to wojo hi poncilo manusia', bona tauna to pante jadi' me'ea'. Napelihi-ra to lente, bona tauna to moroho jadi' me'ea'.  

  Napelihi-ra to dingki' katuwu' -ra, to raruge' pai' to uma ria kalaua-ra hi poncilo manusia', bona monoto-mi ka'uma-na ria kalaua-na hawe'ea to ra'une' manusia'.  

  Jadi', toe pai' uma ria huraa manusia' mpomolangko nono-ra. Uma ria haduaa to ma'ala mpo'uli': "Ngkai kapantea-ku pai' -a napelihi Alata'ala."  

  Muntu' ngkai Alata'ala-hanale pai' -ta mosidai' hante Kristus Yesus-e. Ngkai Kristus Yesus, ta'inca-mi kanoto nono-na Alata'ala: Hi'a-mi to mpomonoa' -ta hi poncilo Alata'ala, napomoroli' -ta jadi' bagia-na, pai' nabahaka-ta ngkai hawe'ea to dada'a.  

  Jadi', hewa to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli': "Hema to doko' bohe nono-ra, kana mpomobohe-ra napa to nababehi Pue'."
