1 Ukorintiyawa 4
1 Nene na unit yenje ari nafo ne, iba yenju ari a cin Kristi nin na nan katuwa nliru Kutellẹ ulinyeshin.
Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and the dispensers of the mysteries of God.
2 Vat nene ile imon na idin piziru usẹ unare na iyinin ninghe.
Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful.
3 Bara nani kitining imon icing ghari anung su usharia, sa ushariya nanit asurne. Bara meng wang na nsu litinin ushariya ba.
But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you, or by man’s day; but neither do I judge my own self.
4 Na meng yiru imomon ile na idin belle litinighe ba, bara nani na uso unan ndiru ba. Chikilari unan su nsharia.
For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.
5 Bara nani na iwabọ usharia kitenne nimomon a kube dutu, na ame Chikilare nsa ba. Aba damun nin nimon ikanang na inyeshin nan nya nsirti, a puun kibinai. Nanere kogha ba seru uru me kiti Kutellẹ.
Therefore judge not before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall every man have praise from God.
6 Nene, nuwana nilime nan nishono, inna su ile imone meg litinighe nin Apollos bara anughe, bara kiti bite anun yinno ile imon na idin bellu, “Na iwa kata ille imon na ina nyertu ba bellin.” Bara nin nani na umon nan nya mine wan ghantin litime kitene nmon ba.
But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.
7 Ghari di yenju umon di ugang kitin na mong? Iyaghari idumun ile na ina filinfiyari ba, andi ina filinferi, iyari udin nfo figiri nafo na usu nane ba?
For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8 Una malu use vat nile imon na udin nin suwe! Una mallu use imon nachara! Nenere uma su tigoh, bara tinanse tisu tigowe nanghinu.
You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 Meng ndin nkpilizu Kutellẹ na cheu ari nono kadura nafo anit alle na idin nca nkul. Tiso uyii imon yenju udu nono nanan kadura Kutellẹ nin nanit asurne.
For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 Arik allalag bara Kristi, annug ajinjinghari nanyan Kristi, arik ana nsali nakara, anug anan nakara, ina ghantin anunku, ina toltin arik ku.
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour.
11 Udak ko kube nene tidin kukpong ayin nin kotu nayi mmen sa imon kidowo icine ina fo ari kang na tidumun nilari ba.
Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;
12 Tidinsuu katuwa kaag, katuwe nin nachara bite, iwa yassu ari asa tise mmari, ti kuru tineu assa ti tere nibinai.
And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.
13 Iwa nanza nari lissa, assa tilira nin mang. Har tina so tisso, ina dun yenje ari nafo likinkin nyi nin nimon izemzem vat.
We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.
14 Na ndin nyertu ille imone nti minu iso imon ncin ba bara nkelle munu nafo nono nayi nigh.
I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.
15 Assa idumun nanan ndursuzu minu nimon amui likureri nan nya Kristi, na idumun nacif gbardang ba, bara meng naso ucif mine nan nya Kristi Yisa nan nya liru Kutellẹ.
For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.
16 Bara nani sun nafo menghe.
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
17 Unare nati nto minu Timoti ku, kitimine gonni na nya yinnu sa uyenu gono nya Nchikilari, aba lizinmunu tiba nighe nan nya Kristi, nafo na ndin dursuzu nani vat natii Kutellẹ.
For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord; who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus; as I teach every where in every church.
18 Nene among mine dumin nghantinu, insu nafo na mba dak kitimine ba.
As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up.
19 Nba dak kitimine nene nin nyinnu Kutellẹ. Kikaneri mba nin yennu ligan nliru na nan nghantinu nati, Vat nani yinnọ akara mine.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.
20 Bara na kilari tigoh Kutellẹ na ligan nlirari ba, likara ri.
For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
21 Iyaghari idumun suwe? Ndak kitimine nin lishonna sa usu nan nya nfip mishau?
What will you? shall I come to you with a rod; or in charity, and in the spirit of meekness?
