aai: Tamai’inah kwa isa fef akikirum, anayabin tafaram anamaim God ma’am i kwaso’ob. Kwa orot boub isa akikirum, anayabin demon mowan kwarab re kwawasatan.


eng: For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

aai: I tibi’o’orot naatu koka’aw ana tur na’atube te’o. Sabuw tafah fair teya’iy biyah ana yasisir isan tisisinaf. Naatu sabuw iyab bowabow kakafin marasika hisisinaf i hihamiyen naatu i yawas gewasinamaim tema’am i ti’ukikinih hinatatabir maiye ef kakafinamaim hinama.

eng: Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

aai: Taitu, yate nanub kwanama’am Regah nan. Orot masaw bowayan kwana’itin, ana masaw bow bay baiyamur isan yaten nub ma mimiy kumar hairi kakaif bay ebiyaiur na’atube.


eng: You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

aai: Imih kwa auman na’atube yatenanub kwanabatkikin, anayabin Regah na isan ana veya i na kabom.


eng: You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

aai: Tafaramamaim a kok abisa etei i karam kwabow kwama kwabiyasisir, forobe biya hikabinitut rabi beyahi isan ana veya kwama kwakakaif.


eng: You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.

aai: Sabuw gewasih asir ubar kwa’itih naatu kwarouw temomorob, men uma tirurukouw.


eng: Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.

aai: A sawar etei boro hinamun, naatu a’ar a faifuw boro ganidor hinaa.


eng: Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

aai: A gold a silver kwaya kwatototo etei boro simur hinabow naatu nati sawar boro hina’e’en, biya etei boro wairafabe na’arah nagurus. Baise kwa i boro’ika iti mar yomaninamaim kwama sawar kwaya kwatototo.


eng: For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”

aai: Baise ana gewasin kwa iti na’atube kwatao, God nakokok na’at basit tanama sawar iti o ni’i tanasinaf.


eng: But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

aai: Baise kwa i bai’o’orotoyah naatu ora’ara’atayah, nati a ora’ara’at etei i kakafih.


eng: Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

aai: Isan imih taiyuw God kwanitin. Naatu Demon Mowan kwanarukouw, saise i boro nabihir kwa nihamiyi.


eng: Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

aai: Kwanan God biyanamaim kwaniyubin, i boro nan kwa biyamaim niyubin, kwa i bowabow kakafin wairafi, imih uma kwanasouwen, naatu dogor kwanasouwen, kwa wanawan rerekabih.


eng: But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.

aai: Baise o dogor wanawanan tenakuyakuy, bobowen, kabat ibun wa’ir ema’am, men o not wairafih inarouw inaora’at, turobe ana bowabow inayaubimih.


eng: This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

aai: Not nati na’atube i men marane enan, baise iti tafaram nowan. Orot babin biyahine naatu demon mowan biyanane enan.


eng: Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.

aai: Ana’itinin ta i iti, horse mo’on murab ina’utan naatu o menamaim namih kukokok murab inatain, horse gagamin na’in boro natatabir o a kokomaim nan.


eng: Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

aai: Na’atube wa gagamin na’in kwana’itin, yaurabad gagamin ebababin, baise murab kikimin maiyow nati wa ana gunigamaim hi’utan inu’in, orot menamaim namih ekok ea’abar murab kikimin karam boro wa gagamin na’in narowen mutufur orot ana kokomaim nan.


eng: So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

aai: Imih kwana’itin menat i kikimin maiyow biyat turin, baise ana o kwanekwan i yumatan ta. Naatu itinin ta i iti, wairaf kikimin maiyow natamun nare’er kutor gagamin na’in boro na’arah ni’afiy.


eng: Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

aai: Taitu men moumur na’in bai’obaiyenayah mataramih kwaniwa’an. Anayabin kwa kwaso’ob, it iyab bai’obaiyenayah, baibatebat ana veya God boro fokarin maiyow nibatiyit, men sabuw maiyow nabibabatiyih na’atube’emih.


eng: For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

aai: It etei’imak mar etei ef ta ta’amaim tare’ere, baise orot yait awanamaim tur ititit, naatu men nasisinaf kwanekwan na’at, nati orot wanawanan i rousouwin, imih i karam biyan boro nanutitiy gewas nabonawiy.


eng: But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

aai: Kwabikoko’aw! Ani’obaiyi kwana’itin baitumatum aurin bai’a’it en ana ub i murubin.


eng: Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

aai: Kwaso’ob aisim ata agir Abraham yamutufuren bai God nanamaim tit? Ana bai’a’itamaim taiyuwin natun Isaac bai gem tafanamaim siboromih yara’ah.


eng: You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.

aai: Imih kwana’itin Abraham ana baitumatum naatu ana bai’a’it hairi hai bowabow i ta’imon, imih ana bai’a’itamaim ana baitumatum in yomanin easa’ub.


eng: So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.

aai: Imih Bukamaim iti na iturobe eo, “Abraham God itumitum naatu ana baitumatumamaim God Abraham bai ana orot mutufurin matar.” Naatu ana begon rouw eaf.


eng: and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”

aai: Kwa orot e’abur gewas enan boro kwanab ana merar kwanay kwanao, “Aro, efan gewasin iti kumare kuma.” Baise orot yababan wairafin isan boro kwanao, “Aro nati haw kumare kuma o nati’imaim kubat.” Nati na’atube kwanasisinaf na’at


eng: haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

aai: kwa i kouseb wanawanamaim kwaimatar. Orot ta efan gewasin kwaitin, orot ta efan kakafin kwaitin, afufunen nati na’atube i men gewasin.


eng: For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

aai: Orot yait tur nowar baise men ebi’a’it, ana’itinin i orot yumatan kiyam yan i’itin na’atube.


eng: for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

aai: Orot yumatan itinbunai sawar, tit inan ufunamaim mar ta’imon yumatan nuhin bur.


eng: But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

aai: Baise inayoyoyoban ana veya initumatum, men ere kasiy auman, anayabin orot yait erekasiy auman eyoyoyoban ana’itinin i tor yan yabat kotar ebabin in ebiyuwiyuw na’atube.


eng: For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

aai: Orot yait ana not nati na’atube enotanot Regah biyanane boro men sawar ta nab.


eng: He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

aai: Anayabin nati orot ana not i rou’ab ebinotanot, ana sinafumaim ana not ebiyuwiyuw.


eng: Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

aai: Isan imih it i sabuw maramaim kau’ay gagamin na’in sisibit roun roun hi’ar bebera’uh hibat hi’itit tanununuw. Imih sawar kakafih erorowen tanit tanisrouwen naatu bowabow kakafihine fatumit tama’am tanarufamit tanatit, nunuwamih hi’u’uwit saise tanitarfofor tananunuw gewas.


eng: looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

aai: Matat etei Jesu tana’itin, ata baitumatum an naatu yomanin, sabuw hibai onaf afe’en hi’onaf hibi’i’iyab, men biyan eohow. Anayabin yasisir nanamaim ma’am i so’ob, imih wainab in yomaninamaim yen God ana asukwafune mare bonamanamarinamaim ema’am.


eng: For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

aai: Orot yait bar ewowowab merarayow etei boro i hinitin, men baremih. Imih ef i nati ta’imon, merarayow bora’ara’aten etei i Jesu ebaib, men Moses.


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

aai: Imih bar ta ta i sabuw afa tewowowab, baise God i sawar etei hai wowabayan.


eng: But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

aai: Baise God ata baiyawasenayan ana kabeber naatu ana yabow yara’iy na birerereb ana maramaim


eng: not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

aai: ata kakafihine iyawasit. Men bowabow gewasin tasisinaf isan iyawasitamih, baise i ana kabeberamaim yawas itit harewamaim ikifuwit tatufuw maiye. Naatu Anun Kakafiyinamaim ata yawas iwa’an boubun matar.


eng: Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind, who concerning the faith are rejected.

aai: Jannes naatu Jambres hairi Moses isan hibirakit na’atube, iti orot auman turobe isan tibirakit, hai not kakafinamaim turobe hibotabir baitumatum tigugurus.


eng: But they will proceed no further. For their folly will be evident to all men, as theirs also came to be.

aai: Baise boro men manin hinabowamih, anayabin hai baikoko’aw hinabiwa’an boro bebeyan sabuw hina’itin. Jannes naatu Jambres hairi biyah mamatar na’atube.


eng: For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

aai: Anayabin Orot afa sabuw hai bar hirun baibin bowabow kakafin ta ta, biyah ana naniyanamaim nawiyih hisisinaf fatumih hima’ama, hibow bai’obaiyen ta hi’obaiyih naatu turobe ana ef hihamiy.


eng: always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

aai: Nati baibin i mar etei hisisinaftobon turobe hitaso’ob isan, baise bai’obaiyenayah hi’obaiyih kakakaf, turobe men hinaso’ob.


eng: in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

aai: Tur hamehamenamaim sabuw iyab i tirurukoukuw nayamutufurih, God boro hai ef niwa’an naham dogor baikitabir hinab naatu hinan turobe hinaso’ob.


eng: and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

aai: Naatu hai not namatabir maiye nan natitit ana veya’amaim, demon buwih fatumih hima fanan hibai ana kok hisisinaf boro hinahaiw hinatit.


eng: May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

aai: Ayoyoyoban Regah mi’itube Onesiporus ana nibur bairi nakabibirih, anayabin mar etei ena ayu koufair ebitu, naatu dibur ama’am isan men kafai biyan eo’ohow.


eng: but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me

aai: Baise na Rome titit ana veya ana kok i mi’itube ayu ta’itu, imih nuwuhu nan ayu titauru itu.


eng: (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

aai: Ayu ayoyoyoban mi’itube Regah baibatebat ana Veya iti orot takabibir, anayabin Ephesus imaim ayu isau bowabow gagamin maiyow bow bibaisu o iso’ob, o men kukakasiyomih.


eng: Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

aai: Tur anababatun abi’obaiyi inabukikin, mar etei nati bi’obaiyen ini’ufunun, naatu baitumatum, yabow Keriso Jesu bitit i wanawanamaim nama.


eng: That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

aai: God Anun Kakafiyin it wanawanatamaim ema’am i ana fairamaim sawar gewasih hitutumi hibit ina tafafar gewas.


eng: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

aai: Ayu Paul Jesu Keriso ana tur abarayan, God ana kokomaim iyunu atit Keriso Jesu wanawananamaim yawas wanatowan eo’omatanit i ao’orereb.


eng: to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

aai: Iti fef o Timothy isa akikirum, ayu natu au yabow, isa ayoyoyoban manaw kabeber, baiwanbabanen, tufuw, God Tamat naatu Jesu Keriso ata Regahane isa nama.


eng: Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

aai: Timothy abisa o kaifin isan abit inatafafar, baifuwen tur imaim sabuw God ana kokomaim ma hinarouw hinao’o naatu so’ob anababatun hinarouw hinao imaim gamin hinakuku’ub, nati’ine o inahaiw inatit.


eng: which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

aai: Sabuw afa iti baifuwen tur hibitumatum i hai baitumatum anababatun hikasiy. Manaw kabeber Godane kwa etei isa nama.


eng: I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

aai: God sawar etei hai yawas baitinayan matanamaim, naatu Jesu Keriso Pontius Pilate nanamaim ana e’en gewasin biwa’an i matanamaim, ayu ao abiyuni.


eng: that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

aai: Iti obaiyunen tur ini’ufunun inabosunusunub inama inabowabow ata Regah Jesu Keriso ana bairerereb ana Veya natit.


eng: But godliness with contentment is great gain.

aai: Yawas gewasin i boro men sawar wairaf inamamatar imaim inatita’urimih, baise God ana kokomaim tama’am boro nibaisit taniyasisir tanama gewas.


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

aai: Anayabin it umat en tafaramaim tana naatu boro umat en tanamatabir maiye.


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

aai: Isan imih it aurit bay naatu ar faifuw tema’ama, nati sawar isah i taniyasisir.


eng: he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

aai: nati orot i bai’o’orot dogoron awan karatan naatu men abisa ta so’ob. Ana not i sawow, ana kok i turamaim nagam, nibobowen, ni’aw’ase’as, tur na’okwanekwan,


eng: constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

aai: naatu mar etei i gaminamaim ema’am, ana not kakafihimaim ku’obo’obow turahinah bairi tegamigam naatu tur anababatun ana ef i hisa’ir, i tenotanot God isan tebowabow boro imaim hinan kabay wairafih hinamatar.


eng: Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.

aai: Sabuw afa hai kakafih i boro marta’imon bebeyan ina’inan, naatu baibatiyen hinab, baise sabuw afa i wa’iwa’iramaim kakafih tisisinaf ufibo tibirerereb.


eng: In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.

aai: Ef nati ta’imon sawar gewasih i bebeyan tai’itah, naatu men abisa ta isisinaf boro wa’iwa’irin na’inumih etei boro hinan rerereb yan hinatit.


eng: Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.

aai: Iti roube’aten tur auman ini’obaiyih hinaso’ob, saise hinasinaf gewas naatu men yait ta ubar nitih.


eng: But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

aai: Orot babin yait ta tain tuwan men ebi’u’uwanih, i taiyuwin ana nibur na’atube, nati orot i ana baitumatum eyayaub naatu sabuw baitumatum atih natabirih kowarar anababatun.


eng: For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.

aai: Biyat takukubaitub i boro mar kafai nibaisit, baise God ana efamaim bai’ufnunin isan tanabi’a’it i igewasin kwanekwan sawar etei isah, anayabin eo matanit yawas iti boun tama’ama naatu yawas gewasin boro enan isan.


eng: This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.

aai: Abisa ao i tur anababatun, imih kwananowar kwanab naatu kwanitumatum.


eng: forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

aai: Sabuw tabin isan teofafarih, naatu bay afa aa isan teo’ofafar, baise sawar etei God bimataren i gewasih aa isan, iyab tibitumatum naatu turobe hisoso’ob merarayow God hinabitin ufunamaim karam boro bay hina’aan.


eng: For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.

aai: Anayabin sawar etei God bimataren i gewasih naatu merarayow ufunamaim men karam boro sawar ta inakwahir,


eng: For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

aai: anayabin God ana tur naatu yoyoban hairi hisinaf God ebibasit karam boro tana’aan.


eng: one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

aai: Aawan natunatun nakaifih gewas naatu natunatun ni’obaiyih gewas, naatu na’itin natunatun i hikakafiy tebobosiyasiyar.


eng: (for how could someone who doesn’t know how to rule his own house take care of God’s assembly?)

aai: Orot yait aawan natunatun men nakakaifih gewas na’at, God ana ekaleisia boro mi’itube nabonawiyih gewas.


eng: The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;

aai: Ekaleisia ana ukwarin orot aurin ubar en, a wan ta’imon, taiyuwin ana yawas nakaif gewas, nakakafiy, ana not rerekabin, merarayow wairafin, bai’obaiyen isan i karam,


eng: not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

aai: men harew fokarih tomayan, men baiyow kwanekwaneyan, baise yan nuwarob, tufuw ana orot, men kabay ana momorob.


eng: although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

aai: Basit ayu marasika i bai’ibayan, gamin baiyowayan, naatu yau so’aso’arin, baise ayu kabibiru, anayabin ayu men aso’ob abisa asisinaf, naatu au baitumatum en.


eng: The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

aai: Ata Regah manaw kabeber ayu tafau yan isuwai re awan karatan, naatu baitumatum yabow hairi ata Regah Jesu Keriso wanawananamaim ayu itu.


eng: As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

aai: Ayu o aihamiy au Masedonia anan ana veya, o au’uwi na’atube Ephesus imaim inama saise sabuw afa o iso’obaka ina’uwih baifuwen tur sabuw tibi’obaibiyih hinihamiyen,


eng: and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.

aai: binanakwar hai yabih en naatu hai a’agir hai gin teyowayow i hinihamiyen, anayabin nati turamaim gamin emamatar, naatu men yait ta ibais baitumatumamaim God ana bowabow ebowabowamih.


eng: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

aai: Ayu Paul, Keriso Jesu ana tur abarayan, naatu God ata baiyawasenayan fair itu naatu iyunu atit Keriso wanawananamaim ata baitumatum itutut imaim nuhit fot tama’am i afafaram.


eng: to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

aai: O Timothy isa iti fef akikirum, ayu natu anababatun baitumatumayan. Isa ayoyoyoban baiwanbabanen, manaw kabeber, tufuw Tamat God naatu ata Regah Keriso Jesu’une isa nama.


eng: Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion and not after the tradition which they received from us.

aai: Ata Regah Jesu Keriso ana onowatenamaim taitu tuwai’inah, tur fokarin maiyow au’uwi. Kirisiyan iyab hinokow hima nonowatih te’aa naatu bai’obaiyen abit hikwahir asir hima beub hiwa’an tereremor kwanekwan, biyahimaim men kwanarun.


eng: For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

aai: Kwa taiyuw kwaso’ob abisa asisinaf i kwaniu’uri, anayabin bairi tama’am ana veya men anokowamih.


eng: But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

aai: Igewasin aki merarayow mar etei God anitin kwa isa, kwa i Regah ebiyabuwi taitu. Anayabin sabuw etei wawanahimaim kwa i God rubini Anun Kakafiyin ana fairane yasairi turobe kwaitumatum yawas kwabai.


eng: to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

aai: Iti tur gewasin aki ana abinan kwanonowar imaim God kwa eafi, saise nati wanawananamaim nabonawiy ata Regah Jesu Keriso ana aiwob bairi kwanafaram.


eng: Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

aai: Baise sawar etei kwanafufunen. Abisa gewasin kwanabotan,


eng: Abstain from every form of evil.

aai: naatu abisa kakafin i kwanahaiw.


eng: Don’t quench the Spirit.

aai: Anun Kakafiyin ana wairaf etoto’ab men kwasirabun.


eng: Don’t despise prophecies.

aai: Sabuw iyab dinab tur teo’orereb men kakafinamaim kwanarukouwihimih.


eng: For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

aai: Anayabin God rurubinit i men ana yaso’ar wanawanan run biyababan bain isan rubinitamih. Baise ata Regah Jesu Keriso wanawananamaim tanarun natafafarit, saise God men nagurusit.


eng: who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

aai: Jesu it isat morob, saise it yawasit tama’am o tamorob ta’inu’in, i nanan ana veya boro bairit tanan efan ta’imonamaim tanama.


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

aai: Baise taitu tuwai’inah, kwa i men gugumin wanawanan kwama’am boro nati Veya bainowan mowan na’atube natitit kwana’oror sa’ir.


eng: You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,

aai: Kwa etei i marakaw nowan naatu mar natunatun, it men gugumin natunatun o fainaiwan natunatun.


eng: For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep.

aai: Iti i Regah ana tur kwa abi’obaiyi. It iyab yawasit tama’am, Regah namatabir nanan ana veya it boro men sabuw murumurubih aunah tani’iyon tananamih en.


eng: For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

aai: Anayabin Regah i taiyuwin boro marane natit obaiyunen turamaim niwow nao, naatu Tounamatar hai ukwarin auman fanan nasib God ana tour hinababin naatu sabuw iyab Jesu hitumitum himomorob boro wan hinamisir.


eng: that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor,

aai: Kwa ta’ita’imon etei in baisesebar kwanekwan ana naniyanane biya kwanasofafar naatu kwanayasairi kakafemaim kwanama.


eng: not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,

aai: Naatu Eteni Sabuw God men hisusu’ub i tibisesebar kwanekwan, baise kwa men imaim kwana’itih nakura’ahi kwanisesebar kwanekwanemih.


eng: For this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

aai: Isan imih taitu tuwai’inah, bai’akir kakafin wanawanan biyababan abai naatu ai not hikwakwaris ana veya kwa abaitumatumamaim aki koufair abai.


eng: For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

aai: Kwa a baitumatum Regah wanawananamaim kwabukikin kwabatabat ana tur anonowar i ai yasisir, imih aki bounabo boro anama gewas.


eng: that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.

aai: Saise bai’akir kakafin nanan ana veya kwa boro men yait ta a uma hina’oror iti baitumatum inihamiy au’uf inabatamih. Kwa taiyuw kwaso’ob, it i bai’akir kakafin wanawanan runamih tanan.


eng: For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

aai: Bairi tama’am ana veya matan fufur aimatnuwi atur ao’owen i kwananot, it boro bai’akir kakafin wanawanan tanarun. Naatu boun i nati emamatar kwana’itin kwanaso’ob.


eng: Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,

aai: Aki na itimih abiwa’an ef etei hifokar, yomaninamaim tunrabi. Imih ai not abogaigiwas Athens imaim boro akisi anama.


eng: and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith,

aai: Baise, tai Timothy God ana akir wairafin orot ta, Keriso ana Tur Gewasin faramayan, kwa isa abiyafar nan a baitumatum isan koufair nit naatu baibais auman nit.


eng: For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

aai: Anayabin Regah Jesu Keriso namatabir nanan ana veya kwa i aki ai ora’ara’at ana yey, naatu ai siwar, imih aki kwa isa i nuhifot yasisiramaim ama’am, men sabuw afa’amih, sabuw i kwa!


eng: For you are our glory and our joy.

aai: Turobe kwa i aki ai ora’ara’at ana siwar naatu ai okawakawasa!


eng: But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

aai: Taitu tuwai’inah, ai notamaim kwa isa men nuhiburumih, naatu hikusibit biyatamaim nanabin tama’am ana veya, ana itinin men manin, baise ai not gagamin na’in i mi’itube yumat ata’itin maiye.


eng: because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

aai: Ai kok gagamin i ata matabir maiye ata’iti, ayu Paul taiyuwu mar maumurih maiyow asinaftobon ata matabir maiye ata’iti isan, baise Satan au ef rufut.


eng: who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and don’t please God, and are contrary to all men,

aai: Jew taiyuwih Regah Jesu Keriso hi’asabun, naatu dinab oro’orot auman hi’asbunuwen, naatu aki hinuni atit, abisa hibiwa’an God men kafai ebiyasisir, naatu boun sabuw etei isah tibirakit.


eng: forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

aai: Anayabin aki binan isan hi’otani, naatu men hikok Ufun Sabuw isah ata binan yawas hitab. Iti na’at hisinaf imih hai kakafin hitutut yey maririb, naatu boun yomaninamaim God ana yaso’ar wan himara’at sawar.


eng: As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,

aai: Kwanaso’ob, kwa ta’ita’imon etei orot natunatun ebigenamih na’atube aigenami gewas,


eng: to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

aai: koufair, koununub ait, abi’afuti. Naatu abifefeyani ayawas i God ana kokokomaim kwanama, anayabin God ana aiwobomaim run ana marakaw bonamanamarin bairi faram isan ea’afi.


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

aai: Naatu aki men orot babin, o kwa, o sabuw afa iti baifai isan abowabowamih.


eng: But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

aai: Keriso ana tur abarayan ai ef ema’am karam boro baibais isan atifefeyani. Baise bairi tama’am ana veya aki ai kakaf kwa isa ma, babin natunatun sosof erarafih na’atube taiyuwi arafi.


eng: For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

aai: Taitu tuwai’inah, kwa taiyuw kwaso’ob aki ai nanawan kwa isa anan i men yabin enamih.


eng: but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

aai: Philipi imaim abisa aki isai mamatar i kwaso’ob, imaibo ana Thessalonica atit, biyababan gagamin maiyow hiti naatu hikwarari tur kakafih hi’uwi. Baise God wanawananamaim koufair abai sabuw isai hibigeg nahimaim, Tur Gewasin God biyanane abai anan kwa ai’obaiyi.


eng: For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

aai: Naatu men Regah ana tur kwa wanawanamaim bowabow akisin tit in Masedonia naatu Akaiya sabuw hinowaramih, baise God kwabitumitum ana tur auman tit tafaram ta ta etei hinowar tibidudur, imih aki boro abitur anao.


eng: For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

aai: Nati sabuw aki abinanawani ana veya kwa mi’itube aki ai merar kwayi kwabubuwi i tibidudur naatu mi’itube uma matamatar kwaihamiyen kwana turobe God wanatowan ma’ama’anin isan kwabowabow i tibidudur.


eng: We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

aai: Aki mar etei kwa isa God ana merar ayiy, naatu ai yoyobanamaim mar etei isa ayoyoyoban.


eng: remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

aai: Anayabin kwa abaitumatum kwabia’ait isan, naatu a yabowamaim kura’ahi kwabowabow sunusunub isan, na’atube ata Regah Jesu Keriso kwaitumitum nuhifot kwama ewawainabi isan Tamat God nanamaim anunuhi.


eng: All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in the Lord.

aai: Ayu abisa iti’imaim abowabow ana tur i boro Tychicus nan nao kwananowar. Tychicus i tai ata yabow, Regah ana akir wairafin, orot bowayan gewasin ta.


eng: I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

aai: Imih ayu kwa isa abiyafar nan kwa ama mi’itube kwama’am na’iti naatu aki mi’itube abowabow a tur na’owen koufair nit.


eng: If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

aai: Kwa i kwamorob na’atube kwa’inu’in, Keriso morobone mimisir ana veya. Kwa bairi kwamisir maiye yawas anababatun kwabai. Imih dogor tutufin etei Keriso maramaim God uman asukwafune mare toto buyoy ma’agiy wanawanan ema’am, i kwana’itin.


eng: Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

aai: A not tutufin etei mar ana sawar isah kwananot, men iti tafaram ana sawar isah kwananot kwanekwanemih.


eng: For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

aai: Anayabin kwa kwamomorob ana veya, kwa ayawas anababatun i Keriso wanawananamaim. God botan no maramaim ema’am boro nit kwanab.


eng: You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

aai: Kwa ayubimaim i kwamorob, anayabin a bowabow kakafinamaim naatu Ufun Sabuw aur ofafar en. Baise Keriso wanawananamaim God kwa yawas it, naatu ata kakafih etei notawiyen.


eng: wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us. He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.

aai: Ata kakafih etei sasamen, abisa ofafar eo men tabi’ufunun ana bit tabaib. Naatu ata kakafih etei fefemaim hikirumen hi’inu’in bai in Jesu onaf afe’en hio’onaf ana veya’amaim gurus.


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

aai: Keriso i God wa’iwa’irin ana itinin bai na irerereb ta’itin. Natun orot ain fewawawar sawar etei himamatar hai ukwarin


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.

aai: Anayabin Ine sawar tutufin etei God imataren; sawar iti tafaram wanawanan naatu sawar no mar wanawanan ta’i’itah naatu men ta’i’itah etei, na’atube aiwob, wagabur, fair, bonawiyenayah, roubabaruwenayah, etei God awanamaim eo himatar naatu i isan sinaf himatar.


eng: who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

aai: Gugumin kakafin ana fairane iyawasit naatu nawiyit tatit I Natun ebiyabow ana aiwob wanawanan yariyit.


eng: in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.

aai: I Natun wanawananamaim it rufamit tatit ata bowabow kakafih notawiyen.


eng: We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

aai: Aki Mar etei kwa isa ayoyoyoban ana maramaim, ata Regah Jesu Keriso Tamah God ana merar ayiy.


eng: having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,

aai: Anayabin kwa ata Regah Jesu Keriso kwabitumitum naatu God ana sabuw kwabiyabuwih ana tur hina hio anowar.


eng: because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

aai: Tur anababatun Tur Gewasin wantoro’ot hina hio kwanonowar ana veya’amaim, kwa a baitumatum naatu a yabow etei i mar ana yasisir isan nuhi fot kwama kwakakaif.


eng: Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

aai: Sabuw haru’ube tuwetuwenih naatu kakafin sinafuyah isah i matatoniwa’an, anayabin boro hinaokikin a’ar mo’oh hina’afuw.


eng: For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

aai: Baise kwanaso’ob it i anababatun afu’afuw tabaika, naatu Anunin Kakafiyin ana fairamaim God takwafir Jesu Keriso ana gewasin isan tao ra’ara’at, naatu biyat ana’a’afuw isan men tabitumitum.


eng: Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

aai: Regah wabinamaim kwaniyasisir ana merar kwanay kwanab, orot gagamih hai merar kwayi kwarusagiyih kwabubuwih na’atube.


eng: because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

aai: Anayabin Keriso ana bowabow isan kafa’imo tamorob, ana yawas kwahir kwa ayu kwatibibaisu efanin ayu ibaisu.


eng: doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

aai: Men akokok kabat ana naniyan nabonawiy sawar hai yabih en isah nakura’ah kwani’o’orotomih, baise kwanayara’iyi taituwa hai gewasin i kwanabora’ah isan kwanao.


eng: each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

aai: Kwa ta’ita’imon men kwa a gewasin isan kwananuwetamih, baise taituwa hai gewasin isan kwananuwet.


eng: Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

aai: Binanuyah i turobe Keriso isan tebibinan, baise afa dogoroh wanawanan i geg bobowen ayu isou ma auman tibibinan, naatu afa i not gewasinamaim tebibinan, anayabin tekokok ayu hinibaisu.


eng: The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

aai: Iti binanuyah i yabowamaim bonawiyih tebibinan, anayabin ayu Tur Gewasin atafafar isan dibur ama’ama i hiso’ob.


eng: but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

aai: Binanuyah afa Keriso isan tibibinan baise geg bobowenamaim tibibinan, anayabin tekokok hinasinaf ayu dibur baremaim yababan anab isan.


eng: so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

aai: saise kwa tur nowar fufunin gewas yabuna’in isan boro kwanasinaf gewas. Naatu Keriso ana Veya’amaim kwa boro aur ubar en sasouwi kwanabat.


eng: being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

aai: Naatu roumutufuren ana ro’on gewasih Jesu Keriso’one hinanan boro dogor wanawanan nare naatu imaim kwa boro God merarayow kwanitin kwanabora’ara’ah.


eng: But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you all things.

aai: Tychicus, taituwa ata yabow orot, naatu Regah ana akirwairafin orot gewasin ta, i nanan ana veya ayu abisa asisinaf ana tur etei boro i nao kwananowar kwanaso’ob.


eng: I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.

aai: Anayabin nati isan kwa isa abiyafar, aki abisa iti’imaim asisinaf nao kwananowar naatu koufair nit.


eng: “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

aai: Hinat tamat kwanakakafiyih, anayabin nati i o baiyunen tur wantoro’ot ana omatanen auman.


eng: “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”

aai: Saise a yawas i boro baigegewasin awan nakaratan, naatu a yawas iti tafaramamaim boro manin na’in kwanama kwaniyasisir.


eng: For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly,

aai: Orot babin yait men ta taiyuwin biyan ebifa’ifa’imih, baise biyan ebituw naatu ekakaif gewas. Keriso ana ekaleisia isan isisinaf na’atube.


eng: because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

aai: Anayabin it i Keriso biyan ana kou’ay turin.


eng: Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

aai: Baibin kwanayara’iyi a’aaw babahimaim kwanama, Regah isan kwayara’iyi babanamaim kwama’am na’atube.


eng: For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

aai: Anayabin orot i babin isan ebi’ukwarin, Keriso ekaleisia isan ebi’ukwarin na’atube. Naatu Keriso biyan i ekaleisia ana baiyawasenayan.


eng: He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

aai: Naatu i taiyuwin siwar bow orot ta ta faramih, orot afa tur abarayah himatar, afa dinab tur faramayah himatar, afa binanuyah himatar, afa Kirisiyan hai bonawiyenayah himatar, naatu afa bai’obaiyenayah himatar,


eng: for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

aai: saise God ana sabuw tatabobuna’ih bowabow ana ef hitaso’ob. Naatu bowabow tataburiri tatabow Keriso biyan tatawowab tara’at tayen


eng: But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

aai: It ta’ita’imon manaw kabeberamaim Keriso ana usar bitit i ra’at naatu igewasin kwanekwan.


eng: Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”

aai: Buk Atamaninamaim iti na’atube eo, “Yen efan auyomtoro’ot baib ana veya, dibur sabuw moumurih na’in buwih bairi hirun, sabuw etei ana usar itih.”


eng: Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

aai: Tur iti, “Yen Auyom.” Ana’an i iti, wantoro’ot i marane ra’iy, re anababatun me wanawanan run.


eng: He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

aai: Imih orot nati taiyuwin yara’iy re’er, nati orot ta’imon yen auyomtoro’ot tit, naatu mar ana hanef etei natabir rabon mar tafaram tutufin etei ana’itinin bai karatan.


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,

aai: Imih God ana merar tanay tanabora’ara’ah. Anayabin God ana fair wanawanatamaim ma ebowabow i karam sawar gewasih moumurih na’in isah, it men tabifefeyan, naatu afa ata notamaim men tema’am, i karam boro etei nasinaf.


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

aai: Imih Kirisiyan sabuw etei God wabin tanabora’ara’ah naatu Jesu Keriso auman wabin tanabora’ara’ah merarayow tanitin wanatowan, wanatowan Amen.


eng: may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,

aai: Naatu fair kwatab, God ana sabuw etei bairi, saise Keriso ana yabow ra’at momosesew, ra’at yen mar wanawanan rur, ra’at yen oyaw nanatabir, naatu ra’at re taiy baban inan i naniyan kwatab kwataso’ob.


eng: and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

aai: Turobe, God ana yabow i ra’at kwanekwan men karam boro etei tanasora’ub, baise sawar abisa gewasih God wanawananamaim awan karatan tema’am, etei boro kwa wanawananamaim nakaratan kwanaso’ob.


eng: being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

aai: Kwa i kob abarayah naatu dinab oro’orot hitutut hibatabat tafanamaim auman hiwowabari, tutut an i Keriso Jesu akisin.


eng: in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

aai: I akisinamo bar tutufin etei bai na ku’ay naatu wowab yen bar kakafiyin matar ya’asair God nowanamih itin.


eng: in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

aai: I wanawananamaim kwa auman wowabari, sabuw afa bairi, naatu i ana ma’ama efan kwamatar, God Anuninane imaim ema’ama.


eng: having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

aai: Jew hai ofafar, hai obaiyunen tur, naatu hai bonawiyen tur etei bosair, sabuw big rou’ab hima’am bow hina ita’imon big ta’imon matar, tufuw e’afuw.


eng: and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

aai: Keriso anamorob onaf afe’enamaim momorob ana veya big rou’ab hairi ufu’ufut hima’am i biyanamaim big buwih hina God bairi hitounuw.


eng: Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

aai: Marasika kwa a tufuwamaim i Ufun Sabuw, “A’ar mo’oh tutufih kwatufuw, imih Jew sabuw kwa isa i men God ana sabuw hirouw hio’omih, anayabin kwa a’ar kanabih i men hi’afuw, baise Jew sabuw hai a’ar kanabih i afu’afuw, (nati i ibo hai kwafirin ana baimonok imih orot isah tisisinaf) kwa marasika mi’itube kwama’am i kwananot.


eng: that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

aai: Nati ana veya’amaim kwa i Keriso biyanamaim kusibi kwatit, naatu Israel hai baibasit ana fef men kwabai, tauman sabuw obaibasit ana omatanen ufunane kwama’ama. Naatu men kafa’imo sawar ta boro uf nan isan kwanot nuhifot kwama’amamih, aur God en asir kwama’am kwanekwan.


eng: for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

aai: Anayabin God ana manaw ana kabeberamaim kwa kwaitumatum yawas kwabai. Men kwa raro bababanamaim yawas kwabaimih, baise God ana siwar kwa isa.


eng: not of works, that no one would boast.

aai: Men a bowabowamaim kwabai, imih men yait ta iti yawas isan nao ra’ara’atamih.


eng: But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

aai: Baise God ana kabeber i ra’at karsuwei, naatu ana yabow it isat i ra’at kwanekwan,


eng: even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

aai: basit it ata kakafihine God fanan tasair ayubit morob. Baise God buwit tana Keriso wanawananamaim tarun yawas itit. Iti i God ana bosiyasiyaramaim kwa yawas kwabai.


eng: For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and the love which you have toward all the saints,

aai: Ayu kwa a baitumatum fairin anababatun Regah Jesu kwaitumitum, naatu God ana sabuw etei kwabiyabuwih ana tur anonowar ana veya,


eng: don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

aai: ayu au merarayow kwa isa i men kafa’imo abihamiy, mar etei au yoyobanamaim anunuhi.


eng: We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

aai: Sawar etei i God eo yayakitifuw na’atube temamatar, imih God ana toto ana buyoy etei boro nowatamih tanabow. Anayabin it i marasika anamaim God taiyuwin nowanamih rubinit.


eng: to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.

aai: Isan imih it iyab wan Keriso tabai nuhi fot tama tabitumitum, ata God gewasin tanabora’ara’ah.


eng: making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

aai: Naatu ana kok abisa sinafumih wa’iwa’irinamaim yakitifuw inu’in Keriso biyanamaim na irerereb.


eng: to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.

aai: God yakitifuw inu’in ana veya nabaib ana maramaim sawar etei boro nan nita’imon. Sawar tutufin etei maramaim naatu tafaramamaim Keriso nan ni’ukwarin.


eng: But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

aai: Baitumatum i ufibo natit, baise wantoro’ot i ofafar buwit ana dibur yariyit tama nan imaibo baitumatum natit irerereb.


eng: So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

aai: Isan imih ofafar i ata bai’obaiyen orot na’atube bonawiyit tana Keriso biyan tatit, naatu boun i baitumatumamaim ata ef yamutufur God nanamaim tatit.


eng: But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

aai: Imih it boro men ofafar ana bonawiyenamaim tanama’amih, nati i sawar, anayabin boun i baitumatum ana veya tit.


eng: For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.

aai: Anayabin ayu i ofafaramaim, ofafar e’asbunu amorob, saise God isan ata bow.


eng: I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.

aai: Ayu i Keriso airi onaf afe’en hi’onafi, imih iti i men ayu ama’am, baise Keriso wanawana’umaim ema’am. Yawas iti boun ama’am i God Natun a bitumitumimaim ama’am, anayabin ayu iyabuwu naatu ana yawas isou i’inuw.


eng: For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

aai: Anayabin James orot afa men biyafarih ana veya i nanamaim Ufun Sabuw iyab baitumatumayah himamatar, Peter wanawanah run bairi hima hi’aa hitomatom. Baise orot James iyafarih hin hititit ufunamaim Peter taitin ihamiyih mataweyan, anayabin sabuw iyab ar kanabih afuw isan hai baibasit ma’am isah bir.


eng: And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

aai: Peter ana rerekab turin Jew baitumatumayah hibai hikofan hirerekab, Barnabas itih run i auman rerekab.


eng: But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

aai: Ayu au baitur Titus Greek orot isan i men ana’ar kanabin afuwinamih aokikin.


eng: This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,

aai: Baise sabuw afa hikokok i ana’ar kanabin hita’afuw, iti sabuw i hikirisiyan moyamoy hina ata kou’ayomaim hirun rafot rouwayah na’atube, saise Keriso Jesu wanawananamaim roufamen tabaib hitatita’ur naatu hita’uwit ata ar kanabih tata’afuw akir sabuw tatamataramih.


eng: Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

aai: Kwamur etei 14 sasawar ufunamaim ayu Barnabas airi Titus abai auman bairi amatabir ayen ana Jerusalem atit.


eng: I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.

aai: Ayu ayey au an i God ana tur isou iwa’an birerereb i orot ukwarih bairi wa’iwa’iramaim omih ayen an. Ayu mi’itube Ufun Sabuw isah Tur Gewasin abibinan ata kubuna hitanowar, saise abisa abusuruf abowabow naatu abisa bowamih ayayakitifuw men hita’otanu au bowabow yomanin yabin en tamataramih.


eng: But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.

aai: Taitu akokok anao kwanaso’ob, iti Tur Gewasin abibinan i men orot hai notamaim himatarimih.


eng: For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

aai: Naatu men orot ta biyanane abaimih, o men yait i’obaiyu’umih baise Jesu Keriso akisinamo i’obaiyu.


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

aai: Keriso ana manaw ana kabeberamaim God kwa ea’afi i men manin kwama naatu kwaihamiy tur ta kwabaib isan ayu aororsa’ir,


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

aai: nati tur i men kafa’imo tur gewasin. Iti ao anayabin sabuw afa i kwa ama tibi’afiy naatu a not tibikwakwaris, i tekokok kwa Keriso ana Tur Gewasinane hinabotaiti kwanatit.


eng: I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’t know; God knows),

aai: Ayu aso’ob nati orot, men aso’ob biyan tutufin yen o i anuninawat tabaratait yen. God akisin so’ob.


eng: how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

aai: I yen in Paradise, naatu nati’imaim tur nonowar i ananowarin ta, men karam boro tanao tanakubuna.


eng: In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

aai: Anayabin iti isan ayu aitumatum, ayu ayakitifuw wan kwa aninanawani saise kwa agewasin boro tafan tanaya’abar.


eng: and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

aai: Ayu akokok ef aumatan au Masedonia ananan anarun ana’iti naatu Masedonia’ane anamamatabir boro anarun ana’iti. Imaibo kwa boro au ef isan kwanibaisu anan Judea.


eng: Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

aai: Menat ebobotabir i men sabuw baitumatumayah hai i’inan, baise sabuw iyab men tibitumatum hai i’inanen, naatu tur binan i sabuw iyab men tibitumatum isah, baise baitumatumayah isah.


eng: If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

aai: Imih ekaleisia tutufin etei hinaru’ay, naatu sabuw etei menah nabotabir tur ta’amaim hinao’o, sabuw afa ufunane hina tema’am, naatu sabuw iyab men tibitumatum boro hinao, “Sabuw tibikoko’aw kwa’itih?”


eng: But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

aai: Baise orot yait God ana tur eo ebibinan ufun orot baitumatum atin ma enonowar boro dogoron narusib. Anayabin tur abisa nonowar ana kakafih etei hina hibebeyan itan.


eng: For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

aai: Orot yait menan botabir tur ta’amaim eo i men sabuw isah eo, baise God isan eo. Anayabin men yait ta so’ob tur boro nanowar naniyan nab, nati tur i Anun Kakafiyin ana fairane tur anababatun wa’iwa’irin eo.


eng: But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

aai: Baise orot yait God ana tur eo ebibinan i sabuw isah eo baibais, koufair, nuhifot ebitih.


eng: But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

aai: Baise boun tama’am kwana’itin, God biyat etei yakitifuw gewas, ta’ita’imon hai efanamaim ya, ikokofan wowab yen biyat matar.


eng: If they were all one member, where would the body be?

aai: Biyat wowowab ana itinin ta’imon tama’am na’at, biyat ana itinin boro ai’ab.


eng: Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.

aai: Regah ana yawasamaim tama’am babin men orot nihamiy akisin nabin ana fairamaim nama, na’atube orot men babin nihamiy akisin nabin ana fairamaim nama.


eng: For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.

aai: Anayabin babin orotone na, na’atube babin biyanane taub orot yai. Baise sawar etei i Godane hina.


eng: To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

aai: Jew sabuw wanawanahimaim ayu Jew orot amamatar, saise ana buwih, sabuw iyab ofafar babanamaim tema’am ayu imaim ama’am, (baise ofafar men abi’ufunun) saise sabuw ofafarane ana botaitih.


eng: to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law.

aai: Sabuw iyab ofafar ufunane tema’am, ayu i hai ma’abe bairi ama’am, (iti na’atube asisinaf i men God ana ofafar ufunane ama’am baise Keriso ana ofafar wanawanan ama’am) saise sabuw ofafar ufunane tema’am abow Keriso wanawanan tirur.


eng: But I say this, brothers: the time is short. From now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

aai: Taitu, abisa ao yabin i iti, mar i na kabom, imih boun it ata veya’amaim orot iyab toutabin tema’am hinimonok Regah isan hinabow.


eng: and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess;

aai: Sabuw iyab terererey, hai itinin men yababanabe hinama’amih, sabuw iyab tibiyasisir hai itinin men yasisirabe hinama’amih. Naatu sabuw iyab guguw wairafih hai itinin i guguw enabe hinama.


eng: and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.

aai: Kwa iyab iti tafaram ana sawar moumurih na’in kwabowabow men sawar anot awan nakaratan, anayabin iti tafaram naatu sawar etei boro nan nasawar.


eng: Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

aai: Kwaso’ob kwa biya i Keriso biyan turin, imih men karam Keriso biyan turin tanab baiwa’an kwanekwaneyan biyanamaim tanikofanimih, men karam.


eng: Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.”

aai: Kwaso’ob orot yait biyan bai na babin baiwa’an kwanekwaneyan biyanamaim ebikofan i na nati babin biyan turin matar. Anayabin Buk Atamaninamaim bebeyan eo, “Sabuw rou’ab boro hinan biyah ta’imon matar.”


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,

aai: Sabuw tafa’asarih God ana aiwob nowahamih boro men hinabaib i kwa kwaso’ob. Men taiyuw kwanifufuwi, kwaniwa’an kwanekwan, turanah a’awah ufuh kwanan, sawar inu’inuwih men kwanakwafirih, orot taiyuw turanah bairi men kwaniwa’an kwanekwan, baibin taiyuw auman men kwaniwa’an kwanekwan,


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

aai: men kwanabain, men kwanikabat, men kwanatom kwanekwan, men taituwa kwanararafih, men taituwa kwanifufuwih hai sawar kwanabow. Sabuw yawas iti’imaim tema’am God ana aiwob boro men ninowahimih.


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.

aai: Kwa afa i marasika na’atube kwama kwasisinaf. Baise boun kwa i ata Regah Jesu Keriso wabinamaim naatu God Anun Kakafiyin ana fairamaim a kakafihine kusouwi, kubaituturi naatu yamutufuri God nowan kwamatar.


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

aai: Ayu men au ef ema’am boro ekaleisia sabuw tafaror ufunane tema’am ana fufunih, baise ana gewasin kwa i boro a kou’ayomaim taituwa akisihimo kwanibatiyih kwanayamutufurih.


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

aai: God akisinamo sabuw iyab kou’ay ufunane tema’am boro nibatiyih. Buk Atamaninamaim eo na’atube, “Sabuw tafa’asarih a kou’ayomaim kwanunih titit.”


eng: According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

aai: Manaw kabeber Godane abai, bar ana wabat arouw, wowab so’obayah tewowowab na’atube. Naatu orot afa iti bar ana wabat tafanamaim hibat tewowowab. Baise orot ta’ita’imon matah toniwa’an bar hinanutitiy gewas hinawowab.


eng: For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

aai: Anayabin God i bar ana wabat ta’imon maiyow Jesu Keriso akisin bai ata wabatamih rouwika.


eng: Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

aai: Men kwananot Apollos i orot na’in, naatu men kwananot Paul i orot na’in, En. Aki i God ana akir wairafi, imih kwa aibaisi kwana God kwabitumitum, nati i aki ta’ita’imon ai bowabow God biti’imaim abowabow.


eng: I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

aai: Ayu ub atanum, Apollos ufu na tafan harew rir. Baise God akisinamo iwa’an ub kuboun yen ra’at.


eng: So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

aai: Orot yait ub tatanum naatu orot yait harew ririr i men abisa hiwa’an matar. Baise God akisinamo ub kaif yen ra’at


eng: Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

aai: Orot yait ub tatanum naatu orot yait harew ririr hairi hai not i ta’imon hinot hisinaf. Imih God boro ta’ita’imon hai bowabowamaim hibowabow isan nibaiyanih.


eng: I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

aai: Ayu God ana merar ayiy kwa men ta bapataito aitimih, Krisipas naatu Gaius hairi’imo,


eng: so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

aai: imih men yait ta boro inao, ayu i Paul wabinamaim bapataito abai abi’ufunun.


eng: And honour and glory be to him, that is mighty to confirm you by my gospel, and (the) preaching of Jesus Christ, by the revelation of (the) mystery held still, in times everlasting; [Forsooth to him, that is mighty to confirm you by my gospel, and (the) preaching of Jesus Christ, after the revelation of (the) mystery holden still, that is, not showed, in times everlasting;]

aai: God ana merar tanay, anayabin i karam boro Jesu Keriso ana tur gewasin kwanonowaramaim nasinafi a baitumatum tafanamaim kwanabatkikin. Marasika anamaim iti tur wa’iwa’iramaim hibun wa’ir in.


eng: (But nowe is opened, and published among all nations by the Scriptures of the Prophetes, at the commandement of the euerlasting God for the obedience of faith)

aai: Baise boun dinab orot hikirum naatu God wanatowanin ana obaiyunen tur etei i hina tibirerereb. Saise sabuw hinitumatum naatu Regah fanan hinabosiyasiyar.


eng: God is really great and powerful, so everybody has to tell him that he is good. He can make you strong. This is his message. It is the good news about Jesus Christ. A long time ago, God planned to get both the Jewish people, and the people that are not Jews, to believe in him. But at first he kept it a secret, and he just got the Jewish people to follow him. After that, he got his men to write about it ahead of time, and their words are in his book. Now his message about Jesus is for every nation. It is not just for the Jewish people, but everybody everywhere can trust him, and they can listen to him and do what he wants. God is the only one that can think good enough to make it all work out like that. So everybody has to tell God and Jesus Christ, “You are great.” They have always got to do that for ever. From Paul

aai: God akisinamo isan i ukwarerekab ema’am, i akisinamo bora’ara’aten tanitin wanatowan Jesu Keriso wabinamaim! Amen.


eng: Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.

aai: Gaius ana baremaim ayu ama’am, i kwa a merar eyiy, naatu ekaleisia iti ana baremaim tiruru’ay auman kwa a merar tiyiy. Naatu Erastus bar merar ana kabay kaifenayan auman a merar eyiy, tai Quartus auman a merar eyiy.


eng: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! Amen.

aai: “Manaw kabeber ata Regah Jesu Keriso’one kwa etei isa nama. Amen.


eng: For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

aai: Anayabin iti isan ayu boro men kafa’imo sawar afa isah anao’omih. Baise abisa Keriso iyunu ao naatu abow Ufun Sabuw abonawiyih hina God tebobosiyasiyar akisinamo boro anao.


eng: in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

aai: Anun Kakafiyin ana fairamaim, ina’inan naatu baifofofor fokarih himatar. Jerusalem imaim au nanawan abusuruf God ana tur abinan aremor ana tafaram wabin Ikonium atit.


eng: I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

aai: Taitu ayu aso’ob, kwa a gewasin i ra’at, naatu so’ob tutufin etei kwabai karam, imih karam taituwa boro kwani’obaiyih.


eng: But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

aai: Baise iti fef wanawanan i sawar gagamih afa bebeyan a tur ao’owen saise nuhi anakusib. Anayabin God ana gewasin ayu wanawana’umaim yari’iy


eng: Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

aai: God koufair naatu yatenub ana matuwan, isan ayoyoyoban i boro a kou’ay nita’imon, Jesu Keriso kwani’ufunun.


eng: that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

aai: Naatu dogor ta’imon namatar auta’imon fana kwanabora’ah God, ata Regah Jesu Keriso Tamah ana merar kwanay kwanabora’ara’ah.


eng: for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

aai: Anayabin God ana aiwob wanawanan atomamaim i men an gagamin, baise an gagamin i a ef namutufor, tufuw, yasisir Anun kakafiyinane kwanab kwanama.


eng: For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

aai: Anayabin orot yait Keriso isan iti na’atube ebowabow God i ebiyasisir naatu sabuw nati orot ana bowabow isan boro hinakakafiy.


eng: Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

aai: Baise o a bay ku’aa’umaim taituwa iu yababan kubitin, o i men yabow ana efamaim kusisinaf. Imih men a bay ku’aa’umaim taituwa ana not inikwaris, anayabin Keriso nati orot auman isan morob.


eng: Then don’t let your good be slandered,

aai: Naatu men iniwa’an abisa o gewasin irouw kunotanot nabotabir kakafin namatar isan hinao’omih.


eng: For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

aai: Yawasit tama’am o tamomorob i men it taiyuwit isat.


eng: For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

aai: Imih yawasit tama’am i Regah isan tama’am, naatu tamomorob, i Regah isan tamomorob. Yawasit tama’am o tamomorob it i Regah nowan.


eng: Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

aai: Naatu sinaf iti kwanasinaf, abisa iti boun ana veya temamatar i kwanaso’ob. In ana veya i sawar, anayabin it yawas bain isan ana veya i na kabom, men marasika tabitumatum na’atube.


eng: The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.

aai: Gugumin i kafa’imo nasawar, mar i boro’omo natoririb. Isan imih gugumin ana bowabow i tanihamiyen, naatu tanamisir marakawamaim ma isan taniyow.


eng: For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

aai: Anakubuna gewas kwananowar, kek kikif wanawanahimaim kek ta bai ana kok abisa yayakitifuw isan, naatu Rebecca iu, “Kek ain boro tain isan nabow.” Kek i men hitufuw,


eng: it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”

aai: naatu men sawar ta gewasin o kakafin hisinafumih, baise i ana yayakitifuwen tafanamaim bat ta rubin. Men i hai bowabowamaim ta rubinimih, en.


eng: because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

aai: Anayabin sabuw iyab biyah ana kokomaim kakafih ebobonawiyih i God ana kamabiy temamatar, naatu men karam boro God ana ofafar babanamaim hinama.


eng: Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

aai: Sabuw iyab biyah ana kokomaim ebobonawiyih men karam hiwa’an God niyasisir.


eng: For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

aai: Itinin ta i boro iti na’atube kwana’itin, tautabin babin aawan yawasin ema’ama ana veya ofafaramaim eo’o, nati babin i boro orot biyanamaim nafatum nama. Baise orot namomorob ufunamaim babin i tabin ana ofafarane hirufam.


eng: So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

aai: Isan imih babin aawan yawasin ema’am ana veya i orot ta nabi’awan, nati babin i moser kwebayan. Baise orot emomorob ana veya, nati babin i ofafarane tit. Naatu orot ta nabi’awan na’at i men moser kwebayan.


eng: Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

aai: Isan imih men kafa’imo kwanibasit bowabow kakafin kanab nabonawiy ana kok kakafih kwani’ufunun.


eng: Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

aai: Men biya turin kwanibasit bowabow kakafin nab ana not kakafih nasinafumih, baise nati efanin taiyuw biya God kwanitin, sabuw yawasihibe kwanasinaf men murubihibe. Naatu biya tutufin etei God ana kokok gewasih sinaf isan kwanitin.


eng: For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

aai: Bowabow kakafin men kafa’imo kwa isa ni’ukwarin, anayabin kwa i men ofafar babanamaim kwama’amamih, baise God ana manaw ana kabeber babanamaim kwama’am.


eng: May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

aai: Men karam! It i bowabow kakafinane tamorob, aisim biyat boro namatabir bowabow kakafinamaim nama maiye?


eng: Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

aai: Na’atube Keriso Jesu wanawananamaim kwarun bapataito kwabaib ana veya, morob auman ana bapataito kwabaib men kwaso’ob?


eng: We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

aai: Isan imih it ata bapataito’omaim Keriso bairi hubemaim tare, ana morob bairi tafaram, saise Keriso hubene Tamah ana fairamaim iyawas maiye mimisir na’atube, it auman tanamisir yawas boubunamaim tanama.


eng: For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

aai: Bowabow kakafin tafaramamaim i wan matar, God ana ofafar i ufibo na. Imih bowabow kakafin ana tur Bukamaim en, anayabin ofafar en.


eng: Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

aai: Baise tanaso’ob, Adam ana veya’ika busuruf na Moses ana veya’amaim titit, orot babin etei morob nawiyih. Sabuw afa himomorob i men God ana obaiyunen Adam ea’astu’ub na’atube hi’a’astu’ub isan himorobomih, baise rara kakafinane etei himomorob. Adam i ina’inan na’atube orot ta boro uf nan isan.


eng: For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

aai: Anayabin sabuw iyab ofafar tebobosiyasiyar isan God ana omatanen nabitih na’at, baitumatum i boro nan ana’an en namatar naatu God ana omatanen i owararin.


eng: For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

aai: Ofafaramaim ya so’ar emamatar, baise efan menamaim ofafar men ema’am, asto’oben men ema’ama.


eng: But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

aai: Baise boun God sabuw yamutufurih isan ana ef i boubun botawiy. Moses naatu dinab oro’orot nati isan i ofafaramaim hio’orereb tanowar, men ofafar tanabi’ufununimaim nabuwitamih.


eng: even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

aai: It yamutufuren boubun Godane enan i sabuw iyab Jesu Keriso tibitumitum imaim enan, naatu God matanamaim it etei ata’itinin i men tata’amih.


eng: Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

aai: Imih it ata so’obamaim ofafar hikikirum i sabuw iyab ofafar babanamaim tema’am isah, saise awah etei nabofafaren, naatu tafaram wanawanan sabuw etei nabow nan God ana baibatiyenamaim hinatit.


eng: Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

aai: Isan imih God boro men sabuw ofafar tebobosiyasiyar imaim hai ef mutufurin narouw nabowamih, ofafar i orot babin ana bowabow kakafin botait ebirerereb.


eng: oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

aai: Sabuw iyab bowabow kakafih tisisinaf i boro bai’akir naatu biyababan gagamin maiyow hinab. Jew sabuw biyahimaim boro nabusuruf nan Ufun Sabuw biyahimaim nisawar.


eng: But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

aai: Baise sabuw iyab bowabow gewasih tisisinaf, God boro fair, baifa’en, borara’aten naatu tufuw nitih, Jew sabuw biyahimaim boro nabusuruf nan Ufun Sabuw biyahimaim nisawar.


eng: For there is no partiality with God.

aai: Anayabin God i ana fofoninamaim sabuw bai’ubaren ebitih, men ta aukoun ebatabatamih.


eng: concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

aai: Iti tur ana an gagamin i Natun it ata Regah Jesu Keriso isan. Biyanane ana tufuw i David ana rara’ane tufuw.


eng: who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

aai: Baise i Ayubin ana kakafiyinamaim morobone mimisir ana veya, bebeyan ebi’obaiyit turobe i, i God Natun fairin.


eng: “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”

aai: Isan imih ayu akokok kwa kwanaso’ob, God ana yawas i Ufun Sabuw isah ebiyafar naatu i boro tur hinanowar!”


eng: When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

aai: Tur iti eo ufunamaim Jew hihamiy taiyuwih higam auman hin.


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.

aai: ‘Kwen sabuw iti isah kuo, Kwa i boro tain kwanarub tur kwananowar, baise boro men naniyan kwanab. Mata boro natakiyat kwananuw baise yabin boro men kwana’itin.


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.’

aai: Anayabin nati sabuw fudirih i fokar. Tainih higibud tur men karam hinanowar, naatu matah hibofafaren. Asire matahimaim boro hita’itin tainihimaim tur boro hitanowar, fudirih boro tarerekab hitaso’ob, naatu isou boro hitamatabir, ayu atiyawasih.’


eng: After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

aai: murab hibow hikiktatan gaigiwas, wa afe’en baginayah yabat buwih run Libia dones yen yara’ahih hirouw hibir, basit rar hitaiyen hire wa bat earuw.


eng: As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

aai: Yabat i wan fus kubar rouw in marto, naatu wa afe’en sabuw sawar hibow hisrouruwen riy yan hire.


eng: Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

aai: Naatu boun ayu iti ubar tibitu anayabin God ana’omatanen ai a’agir bitih imaim ayu nuhufot ama’am isan, ubar hitu bairi tao.


eng: which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!

aai: Iti omatanen i aki ai big etei 12 hibitumitum mi’itube hita’itin titurobe, imih fai mar dogoroh tutufin etei God hikwakwafir, naatu anayabin iti baitumatum isan. Aiwobomon, Jew sabuw ayu ubar hitu iti tao.


eng: “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,

aai: “Aiwob Agripa, ayu i abiyasisir anayabin boun o namaim Jew sabuw abisa isan ayu ubar hibitu i boro ana wasfafaru anao inanowar.


eng: especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

aai: Iti ao i turobe, anayabin o i Jew sabuw hai binanakwar naatu hai ofafar iso’ob kwanekwan, imih o abifefeyani yatenanub inama ana’o inanowar.


eng: He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.

aai: Naatu Tafaror Bar gagamin bisnowanowah atita’ur, imih afatum ai ofafar eo na’atube boro atibatiy.


aai: Baise Baiyowayan hai orot ukwarin wabin Lisias fokarin maiyow narun e’abar giyi orot umai’imaim bosair, naatu sabuw iyab ubar hibitin iyunih baina o namaim baibatiyin isan iuwih.


eng: When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,

aai: Imaibo Paul hibai hina hirun naatu Tertulus busuruf ubar itin eo, “Felix o i gawan orot gewas so’ob wairaf, o a aiwob i gewasin bonawiyi manin maiyow tufuwamaim tama. Naatu sawar hi’afe’af iwowab maiye ata tafaram ana gewasin isan.


eng: we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

aai: Efan tata’amaim naatu ef tata’ane, o a merar ayiy asinaf gewasin iti isan, abiyasisir gagamin maiyow o isa.


eng: He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”

aai: Baiyowayah hai orot gagamih rou’ab eafih hina iuwih eo, “Baiyowayah 200 kwanabow, horse ana orot etei 70, naatu 200 ahay bowayah, kwanabobuna boun gugumin nine korok iti tafaram kwanihamiy kwanan Caesarea kwanatit.


eng: He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

aai: Horse ta Paul kwanitin afe’en namare naatu kwanatafafar gewas kwanab kwanan Gawan Felix biyan kwanatit kwanitubar.”


eng: But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

aai: Imaibo nati ana maramain Kaniser sabuw Paul inanih, sabuw nati’imaim hiruru’ay afa i Sadducee afa i Pharisee, naatu Paul Kaniser sabuw isah fanan aumetawat eaf eo, “Teituwou! Ayu i Pharisee, naatu Pharisee orot natun. Ayu iti baibatiyen efanamaim abatabat anayabin abitumatum morobone misir maiye ana nuhufot abai ama’am isan!”


eng: When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.

aai: Iti na’atube eo ana maramaim, Pharisee naatu Sadducee bairi hitarayouw higam naatu kou’ay hikusib.


eng: For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

aai: Anayabin Sadducee tibitumatum sabuw moroboyah boro men hinamisir maiye, naatu tounamatar men tema’am naatu afiy auman en. Baise Pharisee it sawar tounu etei isah tibitumatum.


eng: Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”

aai: Paul nuw Kaniser itihkikin naatu eo, “Taituwau ayu au yawas tutufin etei God matanamaim men kafa’imo erekasiy auman ama na iti boun titamih.”


eng: The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

aai: Iti na’at eo basit Firis Gagamin wabin Ananias orot iyab Paul sisibinamaim hibatabat awan roufoforamih iuwih.


eng: When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

aai: Kousouwen in fur ta’imon yomanin tit baisawarinamih auman Jew sabuw afa Asia wanawanane hina hima’am Paul Tafaror Baremaim hi’itin. Sabuw kou’ay gagamin na’in hikura’ara’ahih himisir Paul bain bai’a’afiyin isan hinunuw,


eng: crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”

aai: hitar koukuw hi’af hio, “Israel Oro’orot kwana kwaibaisi! Iti orot efan etei remor ana bai’obaiyenamaim it ata sabuw isah tur kakafin maiyow eo, naatu ata ofafar baihamiyin isan eo’o, naatu iti Tafaror Bar wabin ebi’afiy. Naatu kakafin gagamin anababatun sisinaf i kwana’itin, Ufunane Sabuw buwih hina hirun ata Bar Gagamin gubagub tibitin.


eng: For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

aai: (Iti na’atube hio anayabin Trofimus, Ephesusine nan hairi nati bar merar gagaminamaim Paul bairi hima hireremor hi’itih, naatu hinot i hibuwih bairi Tafaror Bar ana efanamaim hirun.)


eng: I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

aai: Ayu men kafai orot babin ta ana gold o ana silver isan abahiy o ana ar ana faifuw isan abahiyamih.


eng: You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

aai: Kwa etei kwaso’ob, ayu taiyuwu umau’umaim sawar abisa isah abiyababan asinaf himatar abow, naatu bow turou’unah hibiyababan afaram hibow karam.


eng: For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

aai: Ayu aso’ob kwa ana bihamiy ufunamaim haru kakafih boro hinan wanawan hinarun bobaituw hinatar giyigiyih.


eng: Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

aai: Kwa taiyuw a kou’ay wanawananamaim auman orot afa boro hinamisir turobe hinabotabir hinifufuwen, saise bai’ufununayah boro i hini’ufnunih.


eng: These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

aai: Orot iti na’atube i hitur bairi hin, Berea bar merarane i orot Fairahus natun Sopater, Thessalonica’ane i Aristakus, Secundus hairi, Derbe’ine i Gaius, naatu Asia’ane i Tychicus, Trofimus hairi, naatu Timothy.


eng: But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.

aai: Iti oro’orot i wa ta hibai wan hirabon Troas imaim hima aki hikaifi.


eng: Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.

aai: Sabuw moumurih na’in iyab hina bai’ufununayah himamatar bebeyanamaim hitit abisa kakafin hisisinaf isan etei hi’e’en.


eng: Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

aai: Sabuw moumurih na’in iyab hikwerakwer hai buk hibow hina hibutuw naatu sabuw etei matahimaim hi’afusar. Naatu buk ta’ita’imon hai baiyan hibiyab i 50,000 drachma ana fofonin.


eng: But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

aai: Jew sabuw afa bar merar ta ta hirun hitit sabuw iyab biyahimaim afiy kakafih hitar sumih hima’am Regah Jesu wabinamaim hinununih. Naatu hai tur i iti na’atube hio, “Demon kakafih hinununih seven Paul ana orot wabin Jesu isan ebibinan i wabinamaim kwa abi’a’ari kwatit!”


eng: There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

aai: Naatu Jew hai Firis Gagamin wabin Skeva natunatun etei seven i iti na’atube auman hisisinaf.


eng: Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

aai: Jew orot ta wabin Apollos, ana tafaram Alexandria imaim tufuw, basit nati ana veya’amaim i na Ephesus tit. Iti orot binan isan i ana siwar bai, naatu Buk wanawanan etei i so’ob kwanekwan.


eng: This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

aai: Regah ana ef isan i hio’baiy gewas naatu sabuw afa Jesu isan bi’obaiyih, ana itinin i orot so’obayan sawar etei so’ob eo na’atube. Naatu tur abisa eo i men ta sa’ir, baise i ana so’ob i John ana bapataito akisin so’ob.


eng: He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

aai: Kou’ay Bar wanawanan itafofor binan. Baise Priscilla Aquila hairi nati’imaim hima’am tur hinonowar ufunamaim hibai bairi hin hai bar God ana ef anababatun hikubunabuna gewas nowar.


eng: He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

aai: Naatu hina Ephesus hitit imaim Priscilla Aquila hairi ihamiyih. Paul na Kou’ay Bar run Jew bairi baidudur isan.


eng: When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

aai: Naatu hifefeyan hikokok i nati’imaim veya maninaka bairi hitama, baise i aurin veya en imih kwahir.


eng: but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

aai: Naatu bihamiyih auman iuwih eo, “God nakokok na’at boro ana matabir isa anan.” Naatu wa bai Ephesus ihamiy in.


eng: But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

aai: Paul tur omih biwa’an ana veya Galio Jew sabuw isah eo, “Kwa iti orot sawar kakafin tasinaf kwata’itin isan kwatagamigam na’at, ayu boro ata ma a tur atanowar.


eng: but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”

aai: Baise kwa a gamin ai’itin i tur, wab naatu kwa a ofafar isah kwagamigam, imih nati sawar i kwabai kwan kwa akis kwayabunai, ayu iti sawar i boro men ana butubun.”


eng: Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

aai: Paul ana yawas mar etei esisinaf na’atube in kou’ay bar run, Baiyarir veya tounu wanawanahimaim buk rusasar tur hai yabih sabuw bairi hima hidudur.


eng: explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

aai: Buk wanawanan dinab hikikirum kubuna hai tur eowen eo, “Keriso i biyan nababan namorob naatu morobone namisir maiye.” Naatu Jesu isan iti aorereb kwanonowar, God ana Roubinen Orot. Keriso’oban i nati.


eng: They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

aai: Imaibo Regah ana tur nati bar wanawanan hibinan dibur kaifenayan ana sabuw bairi hinowar.


eng: He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

aai: Nati veya ta’imon gugumin wanawanan dibur kaifenayan buwih hai feher souwen naatu i ana nibur bairi bapataito hibai.


eng: He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.

aai: Naatu Paul Silas buwih ana bar wanawanan hirun bay itih hi’aa. Nati orot ana nibur bairi dogoroh yasisir awan karatan, anayabin i hina God ana baitumatumayah himatar.


eng: but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

aai: Paul Silas rubin bai naatu tafaram bihamiy ana veya, baitumatumayah orot rou’ab hibuwih higegewasinih Regah ana manaw ana kabeber wanawanan hiyari’iyih takaifih isan.


eng: He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.

aai: Basit Paul misir Syria naatu Silisia wanawanahimaim run remor ekaleisia koufair itih.


eng: After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.

aai: Fur bai’ab na’atube hima’am ufunamaim himisir taih tuwah tufuwamaim hio tuturih naatu sabuw iyab hibiyafarih isah himatabir maiye hin.


eng: But it was seen to Silas, to dwell there; and Judas went alone to Jeru-salem.

aai: Baise Silas nati’imaim ana not bogaigiwas iban ma maiye.


eng: But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

aai: Naatu Paul Barnabas hairi Antioch imaim mar kafai hima, naatu baitumatumayah afa nati’imaim bairi sabuw afa hi’obaibiyih naatu Regah ana tur gewasin hibinan hiremor.


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.’

aai: Saise sabuw afa boro ayu hinanuwuhu hinan, Ufun Sabuw iyab ayu nowau arouw a’afih.


eng: “All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.

aai: Imih Regah eo, iti i marasika eo hinowaraka.’


eng: In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

aai: Matanfufur tisisinaf na’atube Ikonium bar meraramaim Paul, Barnabas hairi hin Kou’ay bar hirun hai tur hio’omaim Jew sabuw naatu Greek sabuw moumurih maiyow hibotabirih hina baitumatumayah himatar.


eng: But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

aai: Baise Jew sabuw iyab baitumatum hikwakwahir, himisir Ufun Sabuw yah hiyi hikura’ara’ahih inan himisir baitumatumayah sabuw isah yah so’ar.


eng: Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

aai: Tur Abarayah nati’imaim manin maiyow hima, Regah ana tur men kafai birumaim hi’omih, baise tur fokarin maiyow hio hibinan. Hai tur baiturobe isan Regah fair itih ina’inan gagamih himamataren, saise sabuw hitaso’ob nati tur i Regah biyanane nan.


eng: But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

aai: Sabuw nati bar merar gagamin wanawanan hima’am hikusib rou’ab matar, sabuw turin Jew isah hin, turin Tur Abarayah isah hin.


eng: So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

aai: Paul, Banabas hairi Kou’ay Bar hibihamiy auman sabuw hifefeyanih fur ta Baiyarir ana veya’amaim iban hitan maiye iti sawar isah hitidudur hitanowar.


eng: Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

aai: Kou’ay Bar ana rou’ay hibihamiy ufunamaim, Jew sabuw maumurih na’in naatu sabuw iyab Jew hai kwafiren ana kakafemaim hima’am, Paul Barnabas hibi’ufununih koufair hitih God ana manaw ana kabeberamaim ma’amih hifefeyanih.


eng: Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;

aai: Isan imih taitu kwananowar, iti orot Jesu wabinamaim bowabow kakafih notawiyen isan ana tur i ao’orerereb,
