1 Ukorintiyawa 4
1 Nene na unit yenje ari nafo ne, iba yenju ari a cin Kristi nin na nan katuwa nliru Kutellẹ ulinyeshin.
So a person should consider us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
2 Vat nene ile imon na idin piziru usẹ unare na iyinin ninghe.
Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they 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 with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I do not 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 know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges 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 nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one will get his 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.
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 go beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
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 makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had 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 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.
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 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 people.
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 have honor, but we have dishonor.
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 to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12 Tidinsuu katuwa kaag, katuwe nin nachara bite, iwa yassu ari asa tise mmari, ti kuru tineu assa ti tere nibinai.
We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 Iwa nanza nari lissa, assa tilira nin mang. Har tina so tisso, ina dun yenje ari nafo likinkin nyi nin nimon izemzem vat.
Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14 Na ndin nyertu ille imone nti minu iso imon ncin ba bara nkelle munu nafo nono nayi nigh.
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved 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 though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
16 Bara nani sun nafo menghe.
I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
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.
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 church.
18 Nene among mine dumin nghantinu, insu nafo na mba dak kitimine ba.
Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
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 is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who 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 word, but in power.
21 Iyaghari idumun suwe? Ndak kitimine nin lishonna sa usu nan nya nfip mishau?
What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
