1 Corinthians 16

1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.

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 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.

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 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.

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 [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.

Ma mete ma hei duꞌa mae malole mete ma au tungga boe, na, hai bisa mii mimiloloꞌ.

5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.

Mete ma au laoꞌ ndule profinsi Makedonia, dei fo au eti sia hei e. Te au feꞌe ae uu sia Makedonia dei.

6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.

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 want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.

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 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].

Te au feꞌe nau leo sia kota Efesus losa fai malole Pentakosta dei, [naeni fai lima nulu mia fai malole Paska a basa].

9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].

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 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as 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 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].

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 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an 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 on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].

Hei musi minea ao mara no malolole! Hei musi miꞌitataaꞌ fo mimihere mikindoo neu Lamatualain! Afiꞌ mimitau! Tao maꞌadꞌere ao mara!

14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].

Hei tao sudꞌiꞌ a saa, na, mitudꞌu susue mara.

15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’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 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.

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 was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].

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 comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.

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 congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.

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 your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].

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 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.

Mete sobꞌa dei! Huu au, Paulus ia, pake au lima ngga fo suraꞌ ia: Sodꞌa-moleꞌ!

22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!

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 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)

Au hule fo Yesus, hita Lamatuan, natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggi.

24 I love all of you who have a close relationship 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
