eng: But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry.

aoj: Iꞌi anona aman okom mondandaꞌ niꞌi, anen ina nandaꞌ waf usiꞌifima nemataꞌw aiawaiꞌwi esis sandandepamanaꞌw anini. Ama okom ananimi mohafema akoꞌw, ma owaꞌ niti anoꞌw ufiaꞌwa, anen nila okom ananimi nogasoꞌakwa, eaꞌ andeandeꞌ. Anen ina nandaꞌ waf awafi, owaꞌ. Esis bias eaꞌ sondasoꞌama.

eng: There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

aoj: Eaꞌ ukup amamipi aꞌ pandawal biafip. Apaꞌ nemataꞌw aiawaiꞌwi ataꞌ owaꞌ kogasoꞌ amania, okom malamafeꞌ aꞌowaꞌ ma maol Dembinai.

eng: But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi inaꞌ negefaꞌ nemataꞌwa, ina nandaꞌ waf awafi, owaꞌ. Eaꞌ iꞌi nemataꞌw aiawaiꞌwi kogasoꞌ aman, akoꞌw ina kwandaꞌ waf awafi, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ amam nematawa sandasoꞌamai esis atiasi aꞌ sofaꞌ nimanimi luꞌwami itap apaꞌe. Andaiwaꞌma nimanimi amamba mogatagamepa.

aoj: Ama nogota ataꞌe deiꞌ nimanimi luꞌwami mataga, naꞌamba ipaꞌ aꞌ andeandeꞌma ipaꞌ hipai pendape naꞌamba atin siꞌi deiꞌ pagape.


eng: Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

aoj: God natalepa ma maol buꞌwani luꞌwani ananini. Eaꞌ ipaꞌ ina pepe lafela epes itapasi, owaꞌi.


eng: Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.

aoj: Waf magatopaꞌ alopafi faloma waf owaꞌ mogatopaꞌ alopafia wapani falafifi atef. Apaꞌ waf sagaila muꞌuli Godiafi afamba waf endilisifi.


eng: Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

eng: Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, aman owaꞌ nogahapifa Kraisia nape sisihina nagaloma wauluꞌmana kwagahapifa Kraisi, anen aꞌ nataga andeandeꞌ siꞌi God nandandepana eaꞌi.

eng: Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

aoj: Ahoꞌ, ipaꞌ pandaꞌ kotima esis alipisi eaꞌ isimba atis deiꞌ sihimbaꞌma aeꞌ ipaꞌ apewa eaꞌ. Deiꞌ maina owaꞌ pepe pititilisa sondaꞌmepa waf awafia? Eaꞌ owaꞌ piꞌi ahoꞌmas sohondoꞌ anom maefah ipeꞌimia?

aoj: Apaꞌ owaꞌ deiꞌ anin epen alipini nandaꞌ kotima sahin owan ananini ma naep amom dembami jas owaꞌ mogohapifa Kraisia.


eng: I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

eng: Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

aoj: Eaꞌ apaꞌ mondandaꞌ gwaꞌaisi isimba luꞌwasi Pasova, apaꞌ ina mofaꞌ yis amamba apimi, owaꞌi. Amamba siꞌi waf awasinai endilisi. Apaꞌ mondofaꞌ bret wafitai yis akatai, isimba siꞌi wafa ukup usiꞌip hililiꞌi basef endilisifi.


eng: Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ piliꞌamona yis amamba apimi ma pegape siꞌi bret dambaitai yis akatai, siꞌi endilisi ipaꞌ pagataga epes dambaipai. Deiꞌ main, sipsip sondolali sagahanama gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasi Pasovai anen Krais, esis aꞌ sahana nagaꞌ eaꞌ, siꞌi sondolali gwaꞌaisi mafis maisa God.


eng: Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

eng: you are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

aoj: Apaꞌ aꞌ miliamonago aman anamba nefeꞌmago Satana nogahambombaga alop poloma nembel apinai ananinai. Mondaꞌas naꞌamba ma God nogowambilai ambal aman anambai nemaf Dembinai akutaifi.

aoj: Endilisi, alop aeꞌapi pape laogona ipaꞌ, apaꞌ ambal aeꞌali lape lalomepa. Aeꞌ siꞌi endilisi ape agalomepa ma agawaloga waf aman anamba nandaꞌafi awafi.

eng: It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

aoj: Anif basef fatagama aeꞌ faꞌi waf afamba awafi soꞌa waulafi fapoma ipaꞌ. Waf awafi endilisi fagahambombaga dasoꞌamai, waf afambai epes isimba sogololama Godi ina sandaꞌ anef waf awafi naꞌambaifi, owaꞌatin. Waf afamba naꞌamba. Anona aman aꞌ nasoꞌ nemataꞌw kugumafianai ahamana nagasoꞌakwi.

eng: Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

eng: I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ afela ukup ipeꞌipi ma pigaila waf aeꞌafi pegafeꞌ.


eng: For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

aoj: Iꞌi endilisi ipaꞌ amom mogawalipipa basef Kraisi 10,000-pelaim eaꞌ hapaimi, apaꞌ ahapepa ina hiam, owaꞌ. Waf Krais Jisasi atef aeꞌ atowe ape ahamepa ipeꞌiwai, ipaꞌ pataga batawis aeꞌipai ma basef buꞌwafi Godi agawalipipafi.

eng: Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.

eng: We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

aoj: Afaꞌ wape siꞌi epes ukup pagasoꞌasi ma ogasaꞌma agol Kraisi, apaꞌ ipaꞌ pape epes gawaipai ma waf ananifi. Afaꞌ owaꞌ banagefaea, apaꞌ ipaꞌ banagepa eaꞌ. Ipaꞌ agof luꞌwagof, apaꞌ afaꞌ agof akafa.


eng: For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

aoj: Aeꞌ okom mandandaꞌ naꞌamba aꞌi God nandaꞌ afaꞌ aposel siꞌi epes sape agof akasi sagagiꞌ endilisii. Epes hiasi hiꞌalas sagape ilif itapi saloma amom ensel wapani satolofa wandahama epes isimba atiasi sohas sogagaꞌi.


eng: You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

aoj: O ahoꞌ, opalef ipeꞌilifi asiꞌilif eaꞌ! Ipaꞌ hiahaom hiamipai asiꞌipa dondoꞌ! Ipaꞌ apikilaꞌafa pataga dembipai king! O uwahipipa! Aeꞌ okom maꞌi aꞌowaꞌ ma petaga pegape dembipai kinga atiasi ope dembifai king ogalomepa!


eng: For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

aoj: Alipipai, ipaꞌ pandaꞌas mama? Ami nandaꞌepa pape dembipai pikilaꞌ anis epes daias? Hiahawes isimba hiasi God atona naseꞌepas. Eaꞌ ipaꞌ ina pendaꞌ duꞌwaniga piꞌi ipaꞌ atipa dembipai banagipai, owaꞌi. Hiahawes isimba hiasi ipeꞌisi, God atona naseꞌepas.


eng: Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.

aoj: Alipipai, aeꞌ okom mandandaꞌ maꞌi etopalopepa. Isimba atis aeꞌi Apolos wihimbaꞌmepa basef ifimba dokoꞌ agaꞌipipafi kofagefa ma waf afaꞌifi.

eng: But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.

aoj: Iꞌi ipaꞌ pewaloga waf aeꞌafi ma anis daias sondaꞌme kot sowaloga waf aeꞌafi, aeꞌ okom mopoma amamba falafumi atom. Aeꞌ wapani aeꞌ atowe ina awaloga waf aeꞌafi, owaꞌ.

aoj: Iꞌi aman dembinai nosoꞌana maol anin epena nigimafian, anin nimafian nindaꞌan datima andeandeꞌ hiꞌindalan.


eng: So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.

aoj: Ipaꞌ pendegawa afaꞌ wandaꞌ maol Kraisi ugumafi basef endilisfi Godi fowaꞌ fape fandambahiꞌii deiꞌ fataga fandawalap alihif.

aoj: Poli Apolos, Pita maloma itap apaꞌe saloma ambal namili a gaꞌ wapani saloma hiahawes deiꞌ sagapani, anaf sigiꞌ sogatagai, amamba hiami ipeꞌimi atom.


eng: Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

aoj: Eaꞌ anin epen ina nefela agof apaꞌ epesi, owaꞌi. Hiahaom hiami ipeꞌimi atom.


eng: And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Baibel naꞌias wapani naꞌamba naꞌi, “Dembinai nogawa nomonas epes sogogawai falafisi atis.”


eng: For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

eng: Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

aoj: Naꞌamba anin epen nembasoꞌma anin atin. Iꞌi epen ipeꞌini okom mondandaꞌ niꞌi anin gawaini siꞌi epes itapasi sogofalasi, epen inimba andeandeꞌma nendambema ataꞌ netaga okom mosoꞌan niliꞌ ma atiasi negataga epen gawaini endilisi.


eng: If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

aoj: Iꞌi anin epen nehambombaga ipat anamba, anaf God nohambombaga epen inimba. Deiꞌ main, ipat anamba ananinai boꞌona hililiꞌi. Anamba eaꞌ ipaꞌ atipa.

aoj: Ipaꞌ pegawa aꞌa owaꞌ? Ipaꞌ atipa siꞌi ipat luꞌunai Godi, eaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai ananinai nape nomona opalef ipeꞌilifi.


eng: If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

aoj: Iꞌi anin epen nelaꞌ ipat togatoma olaf afamba ilifi ma nif owaꞌ fendetaea, anaf nefaꞌ anom hiahaom fasimi.


eng: each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

aoj: Nemaf afamba Krais nogafiꞌafii, maol inimba hiasi sondaꞌani netaga nondawalap alihin nepe boꞌwen aꞌa awen. Nemaf afamba fetaga feloma nif luꞌwafi. Eaꞌ nif ifimba fendo maol inimba hiani epes hiasi atona atini hiꞌilana sogogawa maol asasini boꞌwen aꞌa awen.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, afaꞌ biafa wandaꞌ maol atitin Godi. Eaꞌ ipaꞌ siꞌi aof ananifi. Ipaꞌ siꞌi ipat Godi.


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

aoj: Aeꞌ aliꞌ awalipipa basef Godi siꞌi ewaha olelemb gwaꞌaimi, eaꞌ Apolos nagiꞌ nakoloꞌ embel nasaꞌopam. Eaꞌ God atotona nandaꞌam mataga.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ epen inima newaha olelemb gwaꞌaimi, enin agel aꞌana. Eaꞌ epen nakoloꞌ embel nasaꞌopami enin wapotiꞌ agel aꞌana, eaꞌ God nandaꞌ gwaꞌaimi amama matagai, Anan nefaꞌ agel luꞌunai.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ epen inimba negewaha olemb gwaꞌaimbii naloma epen inimba nagasoꞌ embelembii, esis bias sandaꞌ maol inimba atini. Eaꞌ esis bias atona atin anaf sofaꞌ hiahawes sondahama maol sandaꞌani.

eng: For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

aoj: Anin epen naꞌi, “Aeꞌ miniꞌap Poli.” Anin naꞌi, “Aeꞌ miniꞌap Apolosi.” Waf afambai ipaꞌ ataꞌ pape siꞌi epes itapasi atapipa.


eng: for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

aoj: Ahoꞌ, “Deiꞌ epes ami sogawa hiahawesa okom Dembinaii ma atiasi laꞌifisa sigihimbaꞌma anis? Owaꞌatin.” Apaꞌ deiꞌ apaꞌ mofaꞌ okom Kraisi mapaepa.


eng: But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.

eng: Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

aoj: Apaꞌ epen ami Ambal buꞌunai Godi akan, anin ina laꞌifina negefaꞌ hiahaom amamba fasim Ambal Godi nogosoꞌapam dowafi, owaꞌatin. Epen inimba okom mapoma amamba naꞌi falafumi sondaꞌam ki deꞌiafami. Anin ina negawam, owaꞌ. Deiꞌ main, Ambal buꞌunai Godi atona nawalipasa amamba kofagema.

eng: But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

aoj: Apaꞌ ina mofaꞌ spirit ambal itapali, owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ deiꞌ mofaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi ma mogogawa hiahaom maim God nogasoꞌapam dowafi.


eng: But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

aoj: Apaꞌ God nawalapa hiahaom amamba mandawalapa apaꞌ ma Ambal buꞌwinai ananinai. Ambal Godi nati hiahaom hiami mape mandamabahiꞌi, eaꞌ natolom nogawa nomonas hiasi ma waf Godi fape fandambahoꞌ apeꞌi.

eng: When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

aoj: God nandaꞌam naꞌamba ma anif basef fagail Baibeli fetaga fendawalap. Basef ifimba fagaꞌi, “Epen ami niꞌi sonogahani, anin aꞌ sonondahana Dembinai atona.”


eng: Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

aoj: God nahapona ipaꞌ pape sisihipama Krais Jisas eaꞌ nandaꞌ anen nape kofagonama gawa apeꞌinii. Anen atona ufiaꞌw apeꞌikwi ma God nandaꞌapa mogape beꞌepa hililiꞌi ma naep ananipi ma mogape ananipai atepa. Anen atona natalepa nakwahepa ma waf awafi ma magape wahifipa.


eng: that no flesh should boast before God.

aoj: Nandaꞌas naꞌamba ma anin epen ina laꞌifina negasaꞌma agol ananigili atogol luꞌwagola naep Godi, owaꞌ.


eng: God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

aoj: Anen nandandepa epes isimba amam nematawa itapasi sagaꞌi owaꞌ fasisia, falafisi atis dowafi agof akasi. Ahoꞌ, anen nandandepasa nogahambombaga hiahaom amamba banagami mogoloma epes isimba banagasi agufisi itap anaꞌiisi.


eng: but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

aoj: Apaꞌ God okom ananimi atom nandandepa anis epesa sogape ananisi atis. Epes isimba esis amam nematawa itapasi sagaꞌi gawa akasi, apaꞌ God nandandepas eaꞌ ma nogaha iwana epes gawaisi. Eaꞌ epes isimba itapasi hiasi sagaꞌi falafalafisi owaꞌ banagasia, isimba God nandandepas eaꞌ ma nogaha iwana epes isimba dambesi banagasi.


eng: For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

aoj: Alipipai aeꞌipai, ipaꞌ ataꞌ ukup pendandaꞌma fowaꞌ dambadamba God nogofalepa ma pagataga Kristen. Ipaꞌ hipai ina anis epes hiasi laꞌafena ipaꞌ gawaisi ma itap anaꞌe, owaꞌatin. Owaꞌ anis hiasi agof luꞌwagufisa. Eaꞌowaꞌ anis hiasi dembesi banagasia, owaꞌ.


eng: because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, basef amamba Godi epes sagaꞌi “Gawa akami wafimi”, amamba gawaimi atom luꞌwami mikilaꞌ gawa epesi. Eaꞌ hiahaom amamba epes sagaꞌi “Awanami falafumi Godi”, amamba banagem aꞌowaꞌ mikilaꞌ banagami epesi.

aoj: Apaꞌ amam nematawa God nogofalapai, esis Juda saloma anis Grik wapani, basef ifimba faꞌi Krais anen banagami gawa Godi.


eng: but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,

aoj: Apaꞌ afaꞌ wawalapa basefa Krais nagagaꞌ lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai. Basef ifimba fahambombaga ukup esis Judai. Apaꞌ esis Grik ukup pandandaꞌmef paꞌi amamba basef wafimi gawa akami.

aoj: Esis Juda ukup paipaila sigati maol banagani atin siꞌi God nandaꞌani apaꞌ esis Grik ukup paꞌipaꞌi sogofaꞌ gawa hiani luꞌwani.


eng: For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, epes itapasi ina laꞌifisa sogogawa Goda gawa inimba asasini atin, owaꞌatin. God anen gawainai eaꞌ nasopamasa ufiaꞌw asasiꞌwi.

eng: Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

aoj: Deiꞌ amom gawaimi mondandaꞌ miꞌimama? Eaꞌ amom gawaimi mogogawa gawa hianii mondaꞌ main? Eaꞌ epes isimba itap apaꞌisi saꞌi basef sapaꞌef sandahihianamaifi sondaꞌ mamahisa? Owaꞌatin. God nandaꞌ gawa epes isimba itap apaꞌisi nataga falafalafini siꞌi epes isimba sahaga sagagaoli.


eng: For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

aoj: Baibel nagaꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, “Anaf aeꞌ ehambombaga gawa esis isimba gawaisi. Eaꞌ elefata nomonas epes isimba gawaisi sagaꞌi nomonas sasisasi hiahiasii sagapaisi.”


eng: For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

aoj: Endilisi, epes isimba sagape ufiaꞌw higiligalasaꞌwi, esis ukup pandandaꞌma basefa lawag agamba usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai sagandola Kraisagai saꞌi basef ambamba falafumi atom putuputaꞌimi. Apaꞌ amam nematawa deiꞌ God nape nofaꞌapa nakwahomapa waf awafi mogotanimaii eaꞌ mogawa basef amamba banagami Godi atom.


eng: For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, Krais ina nasapaꞌe afiꞌima endaꞌ baptaisima anis epes, owaꞌatin. Anen nasapaꞌe ma ewalapa basef buꞌwafi Godi igaꞌif.

aoj: Amama atom deiꞌ enin epen ina niꞌipipa niꞌi ipeꞌ pefaꞌ baptaisa agel aeꞌanai, owaꞌ.


eng: Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌi isimba, ipaꞌ hipai atona atin pagaꞌias naꞌamba. Anis saꞌi, “Apaꞌ miniꞌap Poli.” Anis saꞌi, “Apaꞌ miniꞌap Apolosi.” Eaꞌ anis saꞌi, “Apaꞌ miniꞌap Pitai.” A anis saꞌi, “Apaꞌ miniꞌap Kraisi.”


eng: For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

aoj: Ipaꞌ sahin owan aeꞌipai, esis miniꞌap Klowei saꞌipi saꞌi ipaꞌ pandaꞌ migimigah sape laꞌafena ipaꞌ.


eng: Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

aoj: Apaꞌ ipaꞌ sahin owan, aꞌipipa banagoga ma agol Dembinai apeꞌinai Jisas Kraisi naꞌamba. Ipaꞌ pendape miniꞌap atetep endilisi pindaila nomonas atifisa okom atotom.

aoj: Anen atotona nogogawai endilisi. Apaꞌ mondasaꞌma agol ananigili dondol lifilafi. Jisas Krais atona natopalopapa mondandaꞌas naꞌamba. Endilisi.


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

aoj: Anan atotona nogawa endilisi. Apeꞌ mefela agel ananinai laꞌelaꞌef. Jisas Krais atona nogiambamapa mondaꞌam naꞌama. Endilisi.

eng: that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

aoj: Eaꞌ Aisaia wapani naꞌias naꞌi, “Anaf anona aman notaga wambota Jesii. Aman anamba aꞌ notaga nope Dembinai ma esis sogololama Godi numafias eaꞌ sohapifana siꞌi endilisi atis anaf anen notopalopas.”


eng: Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anif duꞌwanif faꞌi, “Ipaꞌ hipai pegelelama Godi, pendasaꞌma agol Dembinaii. Pendasaꞌma agol ananigili ma analef awalef.”


eng: Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anif basef Baibeli fagaꞌias naꞌamba wapani faꞌi, “Ipaꞌ epes pegelelama Godi, pendagala peloma esis wambota ananisi.”


eng: and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”

aoj: Krais nandaꞌ maol inimba ma nogatopalopa esis sogololama Godi owaꞌ Judaisia wapani sogogawa God naꞌias esis uwahipisa sogasaꞌma agol ananigili luꞌwagol, siꞌi Baibel naꞌias nagaꞌi, “Anaf aeꞌ ewalapa basef iꞌi agol ineꞌigili ma anis epes daias sogololama ineꞌi. Eaꞌ ela analef awalef efela agol ineꞌigili.”


eng: Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌipipa naꞌamba. Krais nafiꞌi nataga nandaꞌ maol nape lafela nagatopalopa esis Juda. Anen nandaꞌas naꞌamba ma nigihimbaꞌmasa God nagaꞌi basef endilisifi datimai. Basef fowaꞌ nalaꞌ lapef nagaloma dembami bafapam akupam asasimi fandawalap alihif.

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ hipai ukup pindaima atin pendasoꞌasa nelelemb esis sahin owan siꞌi Krais wapani nagasoꞌapa nembel apaꞌ, ma epes hiasi sogasaꞌma agol Godi luꞌwagol.


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

aoj: Apaꞌ mofaꞌ banagami ma God atona nandaꞌapa malutu banagepa magahapifana. Aeꞌ aꞌi anen notopalopepa pila waf Krais Jisasi endilisi pigahapila nomonas atifis.


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

aoj: Ama ipaꞌ pegape opalef atifilif a malogof atogof pegasaꞌma agol Godi, anen ahama Dembinai apeꞌinai Jisas Krais.


eng: For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

aoj: Deiꞌ main, basef hiafi fowaꞌ amom mandaꞌef fagail Buki mandaꞌefa fagawalipa apaꞌ. Basef ifimba fegewaꞌ banaga opalef apeꞌilifi ma mugalutu banagepa miꞌi endilisi atis God notopalopapa ma mogape andeandeꞌ.

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa Krais wapani ina sonahana okom ananimi atom, owaꞌ. Waf awafi fatagamana siꞌi Baibel naꞌiasa anen nagaꞌi, “Epes saꞌi basef findiwaefa inaꞌ eaꞌ basef ifimba atif fafiꞌi fasoꞌala aeꞌ.”


eng: Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

aoj: Apaꞌ hiapai atona atin mondaꞌ maol mondatopalopa epes sagape felefeleꞌma apeꞌi ma atiasi sogofaꞌ waf buꞌwafi sogataga banages.


eng: Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

eng: But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

aoj: Apaꞌ epen ami okom biafima negaꞌasa, kofagema ananimi atom. Deiꞌ main, okom ananimi ina nahapilif banagen naꞌas, owaꞌ. Hiahawes hiasi epes owaꞌ sogahapifanaia sandaꞌami, amamba awami.


eng: Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.

aoj: Okom ineꞌimi atom mondandaꞌ neloma Goda hiahawes isimba sondaꞌ owamena nogowai. Epen okom mogapoma anis maefah buꞌwasi, okom ananimi ina mandaꞌ kotimana hiahawes gwaꞌaisi mais isimba, anin sonohan.


eng: Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.

aoj: Inaꞌ okom mopoma gwaꞌaisi atis eaꞌ nehambombaga maol Godi, owaꞌi. Endilisi, hiahawes hiasi gwaꞌaisi buꞌwasi. Apaꞌ iꞌi inaꞌ neaꞌ anis maefaha sondaꞌ anin epen newa nendaꞌ waf awafi, daoꞌ inaꞌ wapani nandaꞌ waf awafi.


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

aoj: Waf afamba sagaꞌ gwaꞌaisi embelafi, afambai ina kofagefa ma anamba God nagalaꞌambemagoma, owaꞌatin. Anamba waf usiꞌifi hililiꞌi a opalef awanilifi faloma waf sonagahasafi atef fagapoma. Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasoꞌapai waf afambai.


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

aoj: Epen ami nape nandaꞌ maola Kraisii ma owaꞌ nendaꞌ anef waf fendaꞌ Kristen ukup iwanipia, atiasi God okom boꞌoma waf ananifi eaꞌ epes wapani sogawa anin epen buꞌwani.

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.

aoj: Iꞌi inaꞌ neaꞌ anis maefaha waf afamba ineꞌifi fehambombaga okom owamenai, inaꞌ negawa, waf afambai inaꞌ owaꞌ okom mimila owamenaea, owaꞌ. Krais nagaꞌ eaꞌ ma nogowambilai owamena anamba. Eaꞌ inaꞌ owaꞌi nehambombagana ma gwaꞌaisi ineꞌisia.


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

aoj: Ipaꞌ ina pendaꞌ anef waf anis sahin owan Kristen sitilipa fendaꞌ ukup asasipi iwanip, owaꞌi. Iꞌi ipaꞌ piꞌi waf afamba buꞌwafi, ipaꞌ ina pendaꞌafa naep asasipi, hapaifi.


eng: I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

aoj: Dembinai Jisas eaꞌ nawalipi egawa isimba. Ina anom hiahaom gwaꞌaisi mafis mais awasim dowadowaf, owaꞌ. Okom epeni atom mandandaꞌma anis maefah alugwisi, deiꞌ hiahawes isimba awes alugwis.


eng: Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ ina pewaloga sahin owan ipeꞌisi ma feꞌ asasini wapani, hapaimi. Apaꞌ ukup pendandaꞌ naꞌamba miꞌi apaꞌ ina mondaꞌ anef wafa mondaꞌ owamapa apeꞌinai nowa nondaꞌ waf awafi, owaꞌi.


eng: So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

aoj: Eaꞌ apaꞌ mogawa apaꞌ hiapai atona atin anaf mogaꞌipa Goda waf hiafi kofagefa apaꞌ mandaꞌafi.


eng: For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.’”

aoj: Amamba siꞌi Baibel naꞌiam nagaꞌi, “Dembinai nagaꞌiam naꞌamba naꞌi, ‘Aeꞌ aꞌi endilisi atis, anaf epes hiasi sindiwa nembawa sotawa sondaꞌ lotuma aeꞌ hiꞌilas, eaꞌ sowalapa basef alihif siꞌif siꞌi aeꞌ God endilisiwai.’”


eng: But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

aoj: Deiꞌ maina ipaꞌ pagawaloga sahin owan ipeꞌisi ma feꞌ asasini a pagaꞌipas basef iwanifi? Naꞌambai owaꞌi. Ipaꞌ pegawa anaf apaꞌ hiapai hiꞌilapa aꞌ mulutu gani God nope nogowaloga epes hiasima eaꞌ nowalogapa ma basef luꞌwafi.


eng: For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

aoj: Eaꞌ isimba atis Krais nagaꞌ notanima ambal lapaona nosafel wapani ma nagape Dembinai ma epes isimba sagagaꞌi saloma isimba ataꞌ sagape namisi.


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

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa laꞌafena apaꞌ ina anin epen nape nandaꞌ maol naila okom ananimi atom, owaꞌ. Eaꞌ ina anin epen naila okom ananimi atom nagaꞌ, owaꞌatin.


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.

aoj: Iꞌi apaꞌ mope, daoꞌ mondaꞌ maola mogasaꞌma agol Dembinaii. Iꞌi mogaꞌ, mogaꞌma mogasaꞌma agol Dembinaii. Eaꞌ iꞌi apaꞌ mope namepa o mogaꞌ, apaꞌ Dembinaii atepa.


eng: He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.

aoj: Epen mamahina okom magapoma anef nemaf beꞌef aꞌowaꞌi, anin okom mandandaꞌ ma Dembinai deiꞌ nandaꞌam naꞌamba. Eaꞌ epen inimba nagaꞌ gwaꞌaimi mamimamii, anin okom mandandaꞌma Dembinai naꞌam.

eng: Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.

aoj: Ipaꞌ ina pewaloga anin epen nandaꞌ maola anin epen daiani, owaꞌi. Iꞌi anin nigalutu banagena maol ananini o negewa, isimba maol anen Dembinai nugumafi anini atin. Anin atiasi nigalutu banagani. Deiꞌ main, Dembinai ananinai atona laꞌifinama nogowaꞌ banaga anina nigalutu banagen.


eng: One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

aoj: Anin epen nahapifana banagen, naꞌ gwaꞌaimi mamimami hiami. Apaꞌ hapif anin epeni ina banagen, naꞌamba ina naꞌ mafis maim, owaꞌ.


eng: Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

aoj: Epen mamahina nagahapifanai, hapif ananini owaꞌ banagania, inimba ipaꞌ peseꞌan nelelemb ipeꞌilimbi pefaꞌan pifiꞌi piwisi amam nematawa Kristen. Apaꞌ ina piꞌi pifitap pelomana basef mamimami, owaꞌi.


eng: But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

aoj: Apaꞌ deiꞌ pefaꞌ Dembinai Jisas Krais eaꞌ pindawisana siꞌi klos amamba luꞌwami sandaꞌ wandafami pefaꞌana pepomana. Ipaꞌ ina ukup pelapefeꞌ ma pigaila nomonas awami alop atonaimi, owaꞌi.


eng: Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

aoj: Apaꞌ mondafeꞌ hililiꞌ andeandeꞌ siꞌi epes sagape alipi. Ina meaꞌ embel banagimbeli mohagamogaol eaꞌ gigal moꞌoh miꞌi basef wandafifi, owaꞌi.

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.

aoj: Aeꞌ aꞌi ipaꞌ pendaꞌ waf afambai. Deiꞌ main, ipaꞌ pegawa eaꞌ nogota ataꞌe deiꞌ magapautai. Nogota ataꞌe ipaꞌ pekwaha koha pegesafel. Ipaꞌ pegawa fowaꞌ apaꞌ mataga mahapifana dambaipa, nemaf afamba God naꞌi aꞌ nowambelapa mogotanimai ataꞌ fapani laogon, apaꞌ deiꞌ fataga felefeleꞌ kwasakwasala.


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.

aoj: Owamb baꞌi aꞌ hiꞌilamb eaꞌ felefeleꞌma lola negataga. Naꞌamba andeandeꞌma apaꞌ mogakwaha waf hiafi awafi owambifi ma mondaꞌ waf usiꞌifi alipifi fepe tatalaꞌif siꞌi mofaꞌ walitapa magahagasa wandafa waf awafi.


eng: Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

aoj: Epen ami okom maimaila anin epen daiana nagasoꞌan opaf anini, inimba ina nandaꞌ waf awafi ma anin, owaꞌ. Epen inimba okom magamagaila anin epen daiani, anin naila muꞌuli inimba endilisi.


eng: For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa muꞌuli inimba nagaꞌias naꞌamba naꞌi, “Inaꞌ owaꞌi nehambombaga waf dasoꞌamaifia eaꞌ owaꞌi neha anis amam nematawa sogaꞌa, owaꞌi nendaꞌ wala, eaꞌ ina aꞌ kowolena ma hiahaom anis daindaiasi, owaꞌi.” Muꞌuli inimba naloma anin muꞌuli mamahina nagapani wapani, kofagena inimba atin nagaꞌi naꞌamba naꞌi, “Inaꞌ okom mimila anis epes daias naꞌamba atin siꞌi okom magapoma inaꞌ atina.”


eng: Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

aoj: Ipaꞌ maol inimba napomepa ma pegasoꞌam hiahawes sasisasi epes amamba, pendasoꞌam. Amom mogofaꞌasa tekisi, peseꞌama tekis. Amom mogofaꞌasa moni maisa mogatala waf muꞌuli gavmani, peseꞌam.

eng: For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ ipaꞌ pandaꞌ tekis. Deiꞌ main, amom gavman mandaꞌmana maol Godi dondol banagem mumafi maol inimba atin.


eng: Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

eng: for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.

aoj: Gavman mandaꞌ maola Godi motopalopepa pegape andeandeꞌ. Apaꞌ iꞌi ipaꞌ pendaꞌ waf awafi, ipaꞌ ombal mondahepamam. Ipaꞌ pegawa bainat anamba magahapilanai, ina mahapilana dowaf, owaꞌ. Mandaꞌ maol Godi ma mogogwa akafimi awami ma isimba sandaꞌ waf awafii.


eng: For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,

aoj: Amom gavman ina mapoma mugaumbela epes isimba sandaꞌ waf fasifii, owaꞌ. Amom mapoma mugaumbela epes isimba sandaꞌ waf awafii. Iꞌi ipaꞌ pindaiwaꞌma ombal mogahepama amom gavmana, daoꞌ pendaꞌ waf buꞌwafi atefa amom atiasi moganifela agof ipeꞌigufi.

eng: Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

aoj: Epes hiasi aꞌ sondape lafela amom gavman. Apaꞌ mogawa ina anona gavman nataga dowaf, owaꞌatin. Maol hiani gavmani nataga lagol Godi atogol. Eaꞌ gavman amamba hiami magapani, God atona nandaꞌam mape.

eng: Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

aoj: Apaꞌ ipaꞌ pendaꞌas siꞌi Baibel nagaꞌi, “Iꞌi bousi ipeꞌisi nolomohas, daoꞌ peseꞌasa gwaꞌaisi esis. Iꞌi iap peseꞌas, peseꞌasa embel. Iꞌi ipaꞌ pendaꞌas naꞌamba, atiasi pendaꞌ esis ambagof awagofa waf awafi asasifi.”


eng: Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”

aoj: Ipaꞌ alipipai aeꞌipai endilisi, ina pegwamasa waf aunai esis sandaꞌmepa anai, owaꞌi. Ipaꞌ pindihiꞌamas sondafeꞌmago Goda okom wandafunai nondandaꞌ maola esis.

eng: having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

eng: Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

aoj: Awasi! Okom Godi naloma gawa ananini fasini luꞌum aꞌowaꞌ endilisi. Apaꞌ epes ina laꞌifipa endilisi ma mogogawa kofagema basef ananifi, okom hiami mogatambela, owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ owaꞌatin endilisi ma mogawalapa basefa anen okom magaꞌiefi. Eaꞌ apaꞌ owaꞌ mogawa waf hianai ananinaia, owaꞌatin.


eng: For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

aoj: God nandaꞌ epes hiasi hiꞌalas sogape lafela waf afamba sogosambala basefafi ma anen anaf niti esis hiasi uwahipis nogatopalopas dowaf.


eng: even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌamba atin deiꞌ esis Juda wapani sosambala basef ama deiꞌ sogofaꞌ okom amamba uwahipimi Godi siꞌi ipaꞌ.


eng: For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

aoj: Fowaꞌ ipaꞌ owaꞌ Judaipaia pesambala basef Godi. Eaꞌ esis Juda wapani sosambala basef ifimba. Isimba atis deiꞌ ipaꞌ pefaꞌ okom uwahipimi Godi.


eng: For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

aoj: Iꞌi God nondandepa anin epen nosoꞌan presen fasini dowaf, anaf anen ina nosambala basef ifimba niꞌipan niꞌi hapaifi nohoꞌofef, owaꞌatin. Basef ifimba atapif fepe.


eng: Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

aoj: Juda sosambala basef buꞌwafi Godi, sataga bousi ananisi sahaꞌofa ipaꞌ owaꞌ Judaipaia nofaꞌepa pigatanimaii. Apaꞌ God fowaꞌ nosahoꞌas eaꞌ okom maimailas. Deiꞌ main, anen okom mapoma bafasam asasimi ma basef ifimba nalaꞌ lap nagalomamafi.


eng: This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

aoj: Anef nemaf ekwaha waf hiafi awafi asasifi okom moseꞌeaf, iꞌipasa basef agalaꞌ lapafi esis.”


eng: and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

aoj: Iꞌi owaꞌ main, esis Israel hiasi God nofaꞌas nokwahomasa waf awafi sotanima sifiꞌmai anen siꞌi Baibel naꞌias nagaꞌi, “Anaf aman anamba nofaꞌas sogotanimai, nupani wambel Saion nifiꞌi notagwaha waf awafi esis wambota Jekopi, waf awafi sogosambala basef Godiefi.


eng: For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

aoj: Alipipai, aeꞌ andaiwaꞌma ipaꞌ ukup pegehepama basef ifimba fowaꞌ fandambahiꞌi deiꞌ fandawalap alihif. Naꞌamba ipaꞌ ukup pendandaꞌ ma ipaꞌ atipa piꞌi, “Apaꞌ mogogawai.” Basef ifimba fowaꞌ fandambahiꞌi naꞌamba. Esis Israel opalef asasilifi fasoꞌas, apaꞌ ina fasoꞌas atapilif fape, owaꞌ. Fefeꞌ fefeꞌ fendahama nogota atamba esis owaꞌ Judaisia hiasi sifiꞌi sogafeꞌma God dondoꞌ ma ikwaf okom ananimi magaꞌiefi.


eng: For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

aoj: Ipaꞌ pegawa fowaꞌ ipaꞌ ataꞌ papani atin siꞌipa lawag oliv alupugai, eaꞌ God nandaꞌ anin maol daiana ipaꞌ natopaꞌ anogol agola lawag agamba eaꞌ nowataniaga anoga lawag oliv buꞌugai sagawaga aofi.

Maol inimba ina ahifina anen, owaꞌ. Andipeni.


eng: They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

aoj: Iꞌi esis Juda sokwaha waf awafi sogosambala Godafi, daoꞌ atiasi nofaꞌas sotanimai siꞌi nogowatania agof agwafomba fowaꞌ nigindiwagufi. Endilisi, God banagonai ma nondaꞌas naꞌamba.


eng: See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

aoj: Eaꞌ ipaꞌ ukup pendandaꞌmam andeandeꞌ okom biafim Godi uwahipimi wandafumi wapani. Epes sagakwaha waf ananifii, naꞌipas dindinip. Apaꞌ ipaꞌ God nagaꞌi uwahipipai, iꞌi ipaꞌ pigaila uwahipimi amamba, daoꞌ andeandeꞌ. Apaꞌ iꞌi owaꞌ, anaf notopaꞌepa wapani.


eng: for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

aoj: Fowaꞌ God ina naꞌi ahoꞌma esis Juda siꞌi agof agwafomba lawag sagawaga aofi fape atapiguf, owaꞌ. Ipaꞌ solawaipa. Naꞌamba nondaꞌmepas naꞌamba atin siꞌi nandaꞌ esis.


eng: True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

aoj: Daoꞌ andeandeꞌ, apaꞌ esis Juda ina sahapifana, isimba atis deiꞌ nahapeꞌas. Apaꞌ ipaꞌ pahapifana deiꞌ pape sisihipama anen. Apaꞌ ipaꞌ owaꞌi pesaꞌma agof ipeꞌigufi piꞌi ipaꞌ atipa buꞌupaia, owaꞌi. Ipaꞌ ombal mondahepa solawaipa.


eng: You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

aoj: Aꞌi ipaꞌ atiasi piꞌias naꞌamba piꞌi, “God nindiwa agof agwafomba ma nogowatani apaꞌ siꞌi anogol agol lawagigil.”


eng: don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

aoj: Deiꞌ ipaꞌ owaꞌ Judaipaia ina piꞌi ipaꞌ atipa buꞌupai pikilaꞌ esis Juda siꞌi agof agwafomba God nigindiwagufi, owaꞌ. Ipaꞌ inaꞌ piꞌi ipaꞌ biꞌipai esis epes awasi, owaꞌi. Deiꞌ main, ipaꞌ ina pegewaꞌ banaga nombalifi, owaꞌ. Nombalef atelef fewaꞌ banagaipa.


eng: If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.

aoj: Waf afamba esis Juda sotanima sogafeꞌma God siꞌi basef waminif atini naꞌamba faꞌi, iꞌi bret duꞌwanita tagaliꞌi sandaꞌata sasoꞌanata Godi boꞌota hililiꞌ, eaꞌ bret siꞌita wapani Godi boꞌota hililiꞌi atota. Iꞌi esis sosoꞌana nombalef lawagilif siꞌilif God, daoꞌ agufugama wapani Godi atoga.


eng: For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

aoj: Ahoꞌ, anen nowaꞌ alafuga ma esis, isimba atis deiꞌ nofaꞌai anis epes itap hiagoma sataga nembel atembel salomana. Ama anef nemaf God nosoꞌas nembela esis Juda sotanima sogafeꞌma anen, notopalopa epes hiasi itap hiagoma sotanima sope andeandeꞌ sondagala siꞌi sondagala ma anis epes sagaꞌ sotanima sogasafeli.


eng: if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

aoj: Maol inimba aeꞌ okom maꞌian aꞌowaꞌ ma egasaꞌma esis Juda wambota aeꞌasi ma kowogalasa ipaꞌ deiꞌ pape andeandeꞌ pagaloma Godi. Ama aeꞌ egefaꞌ esis Juda duꞌwanis atis sotanima sogafeꞌma God.


eng: For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

aoj: Deiꞌ aꞌi eseꞌepa anif basef ipaꞌ atipa owaꞌ Judaipaia. God nasapaꞌe afeꞌma andaꞌ maola esis owaꞌ Judaisia siꞌi ipaꞌ. Eaꞌ sonahema maol inimba buꞌwani deiꞌ andaꞌani.


eng: Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

aoj: Esis Juda sowaꞌ alafugaha God, isimba atis deiꞌ anen natopalopa amam nematawa hiasi itapasi sagape walemb hiagomai. Esis Juda sololama waf Godi, isimba atis deiꞌ God natopalopa isimba owaꞌ Judaisia nofaꞌas sotanimai sogape andeandeꞌ.
