  ¶ Jadi', ompi' -ku to kupe'ahi', apa' lawi' ria-taka janci Alata'ala toe-e, wae-pi, kana tabahaka hawe'ea to mpakada'a-ta, lompe' to kahiloa, lompe' to hi rala nono-ta. Kana tatuku' Alata'ala hante nono-ta mpu'u, pai' tapoka'eka' mpobabehi to uma napokonoi. 

  Ompi' -ompi'! Neo' -pi ria posisalaa-ta, tarima-makai hi rala nono-ni! Uma bara ria sala' -kai ba hi hema-hema, uma-kai ria mpakarugi hema-hema, uma-kai mpali' porasia' ngkai hema-hema. 

  Mololita-a hewa tohe'i, uma ba mposalai' -koi ompi'. Apa' hewa to ku'uli' we'i, bohe ahi' -kai hi koi'-- ba mate ba tuwu' -kai, bate kipoka'ahi' -koi. 

  Uma-a koro' mpololitai-koi hante kalonto' -lonto' -na hewa tohe'i-e ompi'. Bohe lia nono-ku sabana koi' ompi'. Nau' wori' kaparia mporumpa' -kai, terohoi moto-mi nono-ku tohe'i-e, pai' goe' lia-a mpokagoe' -koi. 

  ¶ 

  Napa pai' ku'uli' terohoi-mi nono-kue, ompi'? Apa' goe' -a mpo'epe kareba to nakeni Titus ngkai koi'. Hewa to kututura-mi we'i, me'ongko' -makai ngkai ngata Troas tumai hi Makedonia. Aga karata-kai hi rehe'i, bate uma oa' rodo nono-kai. Ngki'ii ngka'ana narumpa' -kai kaparia. Ria to mposisala-kakai, hamali me'eka' wo'o-kai. Mere' mpu'u-mi nono-kai nto'u toe. Aga tarima kasi ku'uli' hi Alata'ala, apa' nto'u toe-mi karata-na Titus mpokeni kareba ngkai koi' ompi'. Jadi', nono-kai to mere' napakaroho-mi Alata'ala hi karata-na Titus toe. 

  Moroho nculii' -mi nono-kai mpohilo Titus rata. Pai' meliu ngkai toe, goe' -kai mpo'epe lolita-na to nakeni ngkai koi'. Na'uli' beiwa-koi mpotanta'u nono-na bula-na ria dohe-ni. Na'uli' wo'o kalentora-ni doko' mpohirua' -ka. Na'uli' kasoho' -nami nono-ni. Na'uli' wo'o kadoko' -ni momekalompe' hante kai' ngkai nono-ni mpu'u. Mpo'epe toe, hangkedi' kagoe' -ku ompi'. 

  Nau' ihi' sura-ku wengi mpopihii nono-ni, aga uma soho' nono-ku mpo'uki' sura toe. Lomo' -lomo' -na soho' moto nono-ku, apa' ku'inca bate susa' mpai' nono-ni mpobasa sura toe. Tapi' kasusa' nono-ni tetu hampai' -wadi. 

  Jadi', toe pai' ku'uli' uma soho' nono-ku. Goe' lau-ada! Uma-a goe' apa' ria-mi kasusaa' -ni. Goe' -a apa' kasusaa' -ni tetu mpokeni-koi medea ngkai kehi-ni to uma lompe'. Apa' nau' susa' nono-ni mpobasa sura-ku toe, kasusa' nono-ni toe napo'ohea lau Alata'ala mpokeni rasi' hi koi'. Jadi', uma-koi morugi sabana sura-ku toe. 

  Apa' ane kasusaa' nono to ntuku' konoa Alata'ala, kasusaa' toe mpokeni-ta medea ngkai kehi-ta to dada'a, alaa-na Alata'ala mpohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko' -ta. Pai' kasusaa' toe uma taposoho' -ki nono. Tapi' ane susa' nono hewa to biasa hi tauna to uma mepangala' hi Alata'ala, kasusaa' toe uma mpokeni-ta medea ngkai kehi-ta to dada'a, alaa-na mporata-ta kamatea to mpogaa' -ta ngkai Alata'ala. 

  Kasusaa' -ni mpobasa sura-ku toe wengi, mpu'u-mpu'u kasusaa' to ntuku' konoa Alata'ala. Penonoi lompe' -koi ba napa wua' -na kasusaa' -ni toe. Ngkai kasusaa' -ni toe, ria mpu'u nono-ni doko' mpobabehi to monoa'. Ni'uli' uma-koi tono' hi tauna to mposapuaka-kai. Nipokahuku' jeko' -ra tauna to masala', nipoka'eka' mpotuku' kehi-ra. Lentora-mokoi mpokalentorai-a, nituku' -mi hawa' -ku, sadia moto-koi mpohuku' tauna to masala'. Hi butu nyala-na monoto-mi kamoroli' mpontolumanu' -na nono-ni hi kara-kara toe. 

  ¶ Toe-mi ompi', bela patuju-ku mpo'uki' sura toe wengi bona nipokahuku' -i to masala'. Bela wo'o patuju-ku mpetalawai' to narumpa' sala'. Alata'ala sabi' -ku! Patuju-ku mpo'uki' sura toe-le, bona monoto-mi hi koi' beiwa kabohe ahi' -ni hi kai'. 

  Jadi', apa' nitarima lompe' -mi-hawo sura-ku toe-e, terohoi-mi nono-kai toi-e! Terohoi mpu'u-mi nono-kai ompi', pai' meliu ngkai toe, goe' lia-kai mpohilo wo'o kagoe' -na Titus. Morawa-mi nono-na mpohilo kehi-ni bula-na retu dohe-ni. 

  Kako'ia-na kuhubui-i tilou wengi, kututura ami' -miki hawe'ea kalompe' nono-ni, kupomobohe hanga' -ni. Rasi' -di ompi', uma wa nipaka'ea' -ae. Hewa hawe'ea to ku'uli' -kokoi, makono omea, wae wo'o hawe'ea to kuparata-ki Titus mpo'une' -koi, uma wa ria to sala', makono omea moto. 

  Hiaa' hi'a wo'o-hawo, tampai-mi ahi' -na hi koi', apa' nakiwoi beiwa ompi' -ompi' omea mpotuku' hawa' -na. Nau' hangkale' me'eka' -koi, nitarima moto-imi pai' nipengkorui-i. 

  Jadi' ompi' -ompi', hangkani-pi ku'uli': goe' lia-ama toi-e, apa' lompe' nculii' -mi posidaia' -ta, ma'ala-ama mposarumaka-koi hi butu nyala-na.
