1 Corinthians 16
1 With reference to the collection for Christ’s people, I want you to follow the instructions that I gave to the churches in Galatia.
Leleꞌ ia, au ae suraꞌ soꞌal doiꞌ fo hei midꞌuru fo tulu-fali Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana sia Yerusalem. Au ufadꞌe atahori mamahereꞌ mana sia profinsi Galatia ra ena, sira musi radꞌuru doiꞌ taꞌo bee. Ia na, hei o musi tao tungga boe.
2 On the first day of every week each of you should put by what he can afford, so that no collections need be made after I have come.
Tungga-tungga nggarei na, basa atahori musi mbedꞌaꞌ doi nara mbei, mia sira ue-tatao nara mbule-bꞌoa nara. Afiꞌ mihani au eti, dei fo hei feꞌe mii midꞌuru doiꞌ ena.
3 On my arrival, I will send any persons, whom you may authorise by letter, to carry your gift to Jerusalem;
Ma mete ma au eti ena, na, hei mitudꞌu atahori fo mimihereꞌ ra, fo rendi doi tutulu-fafaliꞌ ra fee Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana sia Yerusalem ra. Boe ma dei fo au suraꞌ susura fee malangga saraniꞌ mana sia naa ra, fo rahine mana rendi doiꞌ ra.
4 and, if it appears to be worth while for me to go also, they will go with me.
Ma mete ma hei duꞌa mae malole mete ma au tungga boe, na, hai bisa mii mimiloloꞌ.
5 I will come to you as soon as I have been through Macedonia – for I am going through Macedonia –
Mete ma au laoꞌ ndule profinsi Makedonia, dei fo au eti sia hei e. Te au feꞌe ae uu sia Makedonia dei.
6 And I will probably make some stay with you or, perhaps, remain for the winter, so that you may yourselves send me on my way, wherever I may be going.
Basa naa, dei fo au ae uu leo o nggi doo-doo mbei; mbei ma losa fula-fai maꞌasufuꞌ esa. Basaꞌ fo ama bisa mo au losa mamanaꞌ laen fai.
7 I do not propose to pay you a visit in passing now, for I hope to stay with you for some time, if the Lord permits.
Au masud ngga ae eti sia nggi, nda losaꞌ sa. Huu au ae leo o nggi doo-doo mbei, mete ma naa tungga Lamatualain hihii-nanaun.
8 I intend, however, staying at Ephesus until the Festival at the close of the Harvest;
Te au feꞌe nau leo sia kota Efesus losa fai malole Pentakosta dei, [naeni fai lima nulu mia fai malole Paska a basa].
9 for a great opening for active work has presented itself, and there are many opponents.
Huu sia ia hambu kakaꞌeꞌ maloleꞌ naeꞌ fo au feꞌe tao ue-taos nae, itaꞌ mae hambu atahori hetar feꞌe labꞌan Lamatuaꞌ ue-tataon.
10 If Timothy comes, take care that he has no cause for feeling anxious while he is with you. He is doing the Master’s work no less than I am.
Mete ma Timotius dadꞌi nema sia nggi, simbo e no malolole, fo ana afiꞌ duꞌa-duꞌaꞌ. Huu eni, hita Lamatuan atahori mana tao ue-tataon, onaꞌ au boe.
11 No one, therefore, should slight him. See him safely on his way to me, for I am expecting him with some of our friends.
Afiꞌ fee atahori mete e rendiꞌ mata seseriꞌ. Tulu-fali e, losa ana baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ, fo ana bisa baliꞌ nema nisiꞌ au. Huu au o toronooꞌ laen ra, mihani e.
12 As for our friend Apollos, I have often urged him to go to you with the others. He has, however, been very unwilling to do so as yet; but he will go as soon as he finds a good opportunity.
Hambu dalaꞌ esa fai. Au kokoe hita toronoon Apolos, fo ana neu mete-seꞌu nggi mo toronooꞌ laen ra. Te ana nda feꞌe nau neu sia leleꞌ ia sa. Mihaniꞌ a, mete ma ana hambu kakaꞌe maloleꞌ, dei fo ana feꞌe neti ena.
13 Be watchful; stand firm in your faith; be brave; be strong.
Hei musi minea ao mara no malolole! Hei musi miꞌitataaꞌ fo mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatualain! Afiꞌ mimitau! Tao maꞌadꞌere ao mara!
14 Let everything you do be done in a loving spirit.
Hei tao sudꞌiꞌ a saa, na, mitudꞌu susue mara.
15 I have another request to make of you, friends. You remember Stephanas and his household, and that they were the first-fruits gathered in from Greece, and set themselves to serve Christ’s people.
Toronoo susue nggara e! Basa nggi bubꞌuluꞌ mae, aꞌa Stefanus no basa ume isi nara dadꞌi atahori ka esan mana ramahere neu Kristus sia profinsi Akaya. Ara o tao ues ritaꞌ mamate nara fo mete-seꞌu basa atahori mamahereꞌ mana sia naa ra. Dadꞌi au oꞌe fo
16 I want you, on your part, to show deference to such people as these, as well as to every fellow labourer and earnest worker.
ama tao rerenaꞌ neu atahori mataꞌ naa. Naeni, atahori mana tao ues no manggateeꞌ fo mete-seꞌu reu esa neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra.
17 I am glad Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have come, for they have made up for your absence;
Au nau ae ita nggi. Au rala ngga namahoꞌo, huu aꞌa Stefanus, aꞌa Fortunatus, ma aꞌa Akaikus rema sia ia. No taꞌo naa, ara nggati nggi.
18 they have cheered my heart, and your hearts also. Recognise the worth of such people as these.
Ara tao manggatee au rala ngga, onaꞌ ara tao manggatee rala mara boe. Hei musi fee hadꞌa-hormat neu atahori onaꞌ naa ra.
19 The churches in Roman Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca and the church that meets at their house send you many Christian greetings.
Atahori saraniꞌ sia profinsi Asia fee nggi hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ. Aꞌa Akila, eni saon, susi Priskila, ro basa atahori laen fo mana hii raꞌabꞌue sia ume nara o fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe, huu sira nenepaꞌaꞌ rakandoo ro hita Lamatuan.
20 All of the Lord’s followers send you greetings. Greet one another with a sacred kiss.
Basa atahori mamahereꞌ sia ia ra o fee hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe. Leleꞌ ama miꞌibꞌue, na, esa soru esa no iꞌidꞌu susueꞌ nandaa soaꞌ neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra.
21 I, Paul, add this greeting in my own handwriting.
Mete sobꞌa dei! Huu au, Paulus ia, pake au lima ngga fo suraꞌ ia: Sodꞌa-moleꞌ!
22 Accursed be anyone who has no love for the Lord. THE LORD IS COMING.
Seka nda naꞌena susueꞌ neu hita Lamatuan sa, dei fo Lamatualain huku-doki e. Au hiiꞌ a utea atahori, endiꞌ hai atahori Yahudi ra dedꞌea Aram ae, “Marana ta!” Eni sosoan nae, “Lamatuaꞌ, e! Uma leo!”
23 May the blessing of the Lord Jesus be with you.
Au hule fo Yesus, hita Lamatuan, natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggi.
24 My love to all of you who are in union with Christ Jesus.
Au sue basa nggi, huu basa nggita nenepaꞌaꞌ teu esa to Kristus, fo Lamatualain haitua nemaꞌ a. Losaꞌ a ia ena. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ! Mia au, Paulus
