alp: Po suke holmate Yesuse lesi bei holmate Musa, saka holmate tamata maka eleke lumare lesi bei luma rebe ielekele.


eng: For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

alp: Tinai neka, pusue lumare esi tamata me kena ielekele, po maka ono pusue taneia mei nusare batuke Alla ruaI.


eng: But godliness with contentment is great gain.

alp: Sepo ite ono saisa rebe Alla Isukare rame, kai sepo ite supu saisa boka pise boka mo ite blake lesi peneka hoko ite lalema ndina saka tamata supu kepene bokare laleije ndinare.


eng: For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

alp: Le kena ruele ite mei nusa meije ite keri sasaisa mo, kai kena ite mata bei nusa meije lekwe ite keri sasaisa more neka.


eng: But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

alp: Hoko, sepo manane kai pakiane sae, suke ite blake elesi peneka.


eng: But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

alp: Po kwali betaya imi, imi hidupe lupe tamata rebe ono dosare mo kai rebe esi lulu iteki Tuhane Eni pletare more mo. Hoko petu mere eluake ete imire lupe tamata ndeane iluake mo, rebe eono luma upuije hkutukeine.

alp: Kwali betaya, pusue imire tamata rebe lulu Alla Eni pleta. Imi kerike loko saisa rebe Alla Isukare. Ite hidupe lulu tamata rebe esi ono tiae kena kpeture mo.


eng: nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

eng: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

alp: Kristuse seluI saka Alla rebe seluI more, kwetele mena, Ipentine lesi bei pusue yelu rebe Alla Itolaule.


eng: For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.

alp: Le baueNi pine Alla Itolae pusue yelu, ndete surga kai mei nusa, pusue yelu rebe supu selue kai supu selu mo, kai pusue roa rebe ukbasa kai upletare. Pusue yelu, Kristuse Itolaelu leke isikeNi.


eng: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

alp: Kwali betaya, mai ite isike Alla le Ikbasa kena ono saisa rebe Isuka onore. Kai saisa rebe Isuka onoe ete itere, ela lesi bei saisa rebe ite noakele kai saisa rebe ite kotie beiNe. Iono pusue meru le Eni kbasare ekbasae ite lalemaru.


eng: to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

alp: Mai ite isike Alla rebe Eni kbasare ela titinai le Eni kbasare ekbasae ite rebe hlaleke lokoIje. Mai ite isike Alla le saisa rebe Kristuse Yesuse Ionore. Ite isike Alla eti pela! Amine.


eng: I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

alp: Kwali betaya imi, au herane imi! Alla Ikoti imi le Kristuse laleije noa imi, po meije imi nunu titinai kena rauli Alla kai imi lulu sou misete makete bei Sou Misete rebe bei Allare.


eng: but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

alp: Esi tinaije Sou Misete makete sae mo. Batuke tamata leini esi lelike Sou Misete bei Kristuse kai lemake loko imi leke imi noake sala, kai andia pine tinaije imi nati mo.


eng: Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

alp: Imi rekwa peneka be tamata rebe ilulu Tuhane Eni sukare more, ile mere ikusu Tuhane Eni tamataru, rebe Tuhane Ipletaesi saka kamale ipletare mo. Imi noake sala eleki imi lemake ruami yake. Le tamata rebe isablia, itatu loko tuhane tinai mo, tamata rebe isablia kai tamata makete eni bina pise mokwai, tamata rebe iono atate misete mo rebe mokwai ono ebeke mokwai,


eng: nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.

alp: tamata ndeane, tamata rebe lalei loko kepene kai tanei boka, tamata rebe inseli, tamata rebe isobue tamata makete, tamata rebe ikane tamata makete eni knatile, pusue tamata ele meru esi kusu Tuhane eni tamata mo rebe Ipletaisi pende.


eng: Some of you were such, but you were washed. You were sanctified. You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

alp: Akmenare imia leini imi atate ele mere. Po pamuli meije imi dosaru ampunelu peneka. Imire Tuhane Eni tamata peneka rebe dosa sae mo. Tuhane Iteu peneka be imi sala sae moneka le bei saisa rebe Tuhane Yesuse Kristuse Ionore kai Tuhane Eni Rore Eni kbasare.


eng: For what do I have to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t you judge those who are within?

alp: Tamata rebe esi hlaleke loko Alla mosare auku hake kena teu lepate etesi mo. Imi lekwe batuke supu hake kena lepa ete tamata rebe esi hlaleke loko Allare.


eng: But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”

alp: Alla ruaI pine Eni hake kena lepa ete tamata rebe esi hlaleke lokoI mosare. Imi nete loko Alla Eni lepate rebe lekire ebeteke be: “Tamata rebe esi ono dosare, imi suisi siri bei jemate toine.”

Alla ruaI pine Ibitike au lulu ruaI Eni sukare.


eng: For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

alp: Le kena meije Alla Iono hlamate ite peneka, po ite hlaleke kai namake pusue rebe Italukele ete itere sa. Po sepo saisa rebe ite hlalekele ite supu peneka hoko ite namake moneka. Le sae ihlaleke loko saisa rebe isupure moneka.

eng: saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.

alp: ‘Akeu beteke ete imi tamataru be, esi lene auku hnaunaru rame po esi nati mo, esi selu saisa rebe au onore rame po esi rekwa mo.


eng: For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’

alp: Meije tatike pine eono le lalesi rekwa sasaisa moneka, esi sou tlina loisu, kai esi kobue mataisu. Sepo esi suka hnaunaru, hoko suke esi lene, esi selu kai esi nati. Eleki esi leu suike loko Au, hoko Au nete loko esi dosaru moneka.’


eng: that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

eng: and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’

alp: Alla Ibeteke lokoi be, ‘Siri bei amu henare kai amu luma toini pususi. Akeu kai arue kena otoi rebe tatike pine Au tilukele eteume.’


eng: Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.

eng: whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.

alp: Yesuse mere Irue ndete surga sa eti Alla Iono pusulu belu lulu akmena Alla Eni lepata rebe nabia mise titinai esi betekelu. Nabia meru Alla Ibitikesi.


eng: Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

alp: Eleki Yesuse Ilepa kena tiluke Petruse eni matale eono elia leke tamata esi isike Alla. Yesuse Ibeteke loko Petruse be, “Anete mimise!
