Au nau emi basa bubuluꞌ au oi-tao sota an seli fee emi, ma fee sira. 2 Au dale ka ae, nau atetea sira basa dale nara, ela sira boe bisa nanahekeꞌ dadi esaꞌ, nana huu ara rasue-ralaiao.

Hata nino ria riꞌ Kristus! 3 Maneniko emi nanahekeꞌ daleꞌ esa moo Kristus, besaꞌ ko Ana fee katemaꞌ duduꞌa-aafiꞌ fo emi parluu, ma nanori-nafada emi pake duduꞌa-aafiꞌ ria, fo tao hata malole ra. Duduꞌa-aafiꞌ ia ra, sama leoꞌ hata posaka mabeli.

Ela leoꞌ bea na emi dale mara henuꞌ no makasi, nana huu basa hata fo Manetualain taon soaneuꞌ emi a.

8 Besa-besa ela emi bosoꞌ tuka lahenda fekeꞌ fo pake lahenda dae-bafoꞌ a duduꞌa-aafin ma atoran nara, de naheoꞌ heni emi meme eno roos a mai. Huu fo nanori-nafada ria ta nanuu neteꞌ fa ma ta nanaseleꞌ nai Kristus daleꞌ.

Leo mae leoꞌ na, tehuu Ana sae-safe heni emi sala mara katemaꞌ, ma fee emi soda bebeuꞌ, sama leoꞌ Ana fee Kristus nasoda seluꞌ a.✡ Efesus 2:1-8 14 Matetu na, ita muste hapu huhukuꞌ, nana huu ita talena laka neuꞌ Manetualain atoran nara. Tehuu Ana soi-tefa heni ita huhuku nara, tepo fo ara paku Kristus nai ai kake a.* Susura Makamoiꞌ dedea Yunani manaduiꞌ nae, “Tehuu Ana soi-tefa na ita teme huhuku a mai, nana huu Ana paku huhuku a nai Kristus ai kake na so.” ✡ Efesus 2:15 15 Nai naa, Ana naseki kuasa maiu-mahatuꞌ ara, ma basa-basan fo pareta no tadaluꞌ. Boe ma Ana namamaeꞌ asa rai lahenda dodouꞌ matan. Ria sama leoꞌ soldadu naseki nai natatiaoꞌ a, de laꞌo rule-feo ranononda ratudu sira musu-noon fo riꞌ ara raseki si a.

16 Maneniko lahenda nau ratuda emi laꞌeneuꞌ atoran nanaa-nininuꞌ, sona bosoꞌ tao daleꞌ neuꞌ asa. Ma kalu lahenda nau radedea roo emi laꞌeneuꞌ fai malole ra, do feta bula bebeuꞌ, do atoran fai hahae aoꞌ, sona bosoꞌ mamanene si.✡ Roma 14:1-6 17 Hata rupa leo naꞌ ara, ta penting fa! Huu fo hata sira sama leoꞌ salaoꞌ, de neuꞌ ko sapu-lalo. Tehuu Kristus nana teaꞌ. Ria riꞌ nasoda naroo.

Tehuu besa-besa e! Tebe lahenda rahiiꞌ saka enoꞌ ela ratuda emi. Ara nau emi muste maloe-madaeao mara, ma soko neuꞌ Ramatuaꞌ a eilaꞌo-limalopen rai nusatetu-ikutemaꞌ a, nana huu ara raendobuko mei-afeꞌ a natudu si leoꞌ na. Ara tao ao nara lena reme lahenda fekeꞌ ara mai. Sekona te, ta leo naꞌ fa! Sira dudua-aafin sama leoꞌ lahenda dae-bafoꞌ a boe. 19 Sira ta nanahekeꞌ roo Kristus. Sekona te, Ria nana Lakaꞌ. Ma Ria lahenda nara, sama leoꞌ ao-inan fo Ria ator a. Ana tao na lahenda nara boe-boe tea-mepeꞌ, pake Manetualain kuasa Na. No ria na, ara dadi sama leoꞌ uaꞌ ma duiꞌ, fo nanaheke nahereꞌ de ratulu-rafaliao esa no esa, losaꞌ ao-ina katemaꞌ esa bisa noi-tao no malole.✡ Efesus 4:16

Sekona te atoran sira ator adaꞌ noi hata fo neuꞌ ko sapu-lalo! 23 Uniꞌ ko leo lahenda bisa tao tuka atoran sira, dale nara rae, neuꞌ ko lahenda hadaꞌ asa, ma tao si reuꞌ lahenda malelaꞌ, lahenda duduꞌa-aafi naruꞌ, lahenda maloe-madaeaoꞌ, ese-rumu seluꞌ ao-ina nara, makate soko-taku. Sekona te taꞌa! Atoran sira ta bisa ator ratalolole lahenda dae-bafoꞌ a duduꞌa-aafin, ma lahenda dae-bafoꞌ a dalen fo rahiiꞌ tao tadaluꞌ a!
