1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
Na ko ahau, e oku teina, kihai i ahei te korero ki a koutou me taku ki te hunga i te Wairua, engari i te kikokiko, ano ki nga kohungahunga i roto i a te Karaiti.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
He waiu taku i whangai atu na ma koutou, ehara i te kai maro: kiano hoki i taea e koutou te kai maro, a kahore nei ano i taea e koutou inaianei:
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
Kei te kikokiko tonu hoki koutou: i te mea kei a koutou tonu te hae, te totohe, te wehewehe, ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko, e haere ana i runga i ta te tangata ritenga?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
I tetahi hoki ka ki nei, Ko ahau no Paora; me tetahi atu, Ko ahau no Aporo, ehara oti koutou i te hunga i te kikokiko?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Tena ko wai a Aporo? a ko wai a Paora? He minita i whakapono ai koutou; ki ia tangata i ta te Ariki i homai ai.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
Naku i whakato, na Aporo i whakamakuku; na te Atua ia i mea kia tupu.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Heoi he kore noa iho te kaiwhakato, he kore noa iho te kaiwhakamakuku, engari te Atua nana nei i mea kia tupu.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Na ko te kaiwhakato, ko te kaiwhakamakuku, kotahi tonu raua: otira ka rite ki tana ake mahi te utu e riro mai i tena, i tena o raua.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
He hoa mahi hoki matou no te Atua: he mara koutou na te Atua, he whare hanga na te Atua.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
Kei te ritenga o te aroha noa o te Atua i homai nei ki ahau, kua whakatakotoria e ahau te tunga, he pera me ta te tohunga; a ko tetahi atu kei te hanga whare ki runga. Otira kia tupato ia tangata ki tana whare e hanga ai ki runga.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
E kore hoki tetahi tangata e ahei te whakatakoto i tetahi tunga ke atu i tera kua oti nei te whakatakoto, ara i a Ihu Karaiti.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Engari ki te hanga tetahi ki runga ki te tunga he koura, he hiriwa, he kohatu utu nui, he rakau, he tarutaru, he otaota;
13 each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.
Ka whakakitea te mahi a tetahi, a tetahi: ma te ra hoki e whakaatu, no te mea ka whakakitea e te kapura; a ma te kapura tonu e whakamatautau te mahi a tena, a tena, he pehea tona ahua.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
Ki te mau tonu te mahi a tetahi e hanga ai ki runga, ka riro i a ia he utu.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Ki te wera te mahi a tetahi, ka maumauria tana: ko ia ia ka ora; otira me te mea ma roto i te ahi.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Kahore oti koutou i matau, he whare tapu koutou no te Atua, a kei roto i a koutou te Wairua o te Atua e noho ana?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Ki te whakangaromia e tetahi te whare tapu o te Atua, ka whakangaromia hoki ia e te Atua; he tapu hoki te whare o te Atua, a ko koutou taua whare.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Kei hangarau tetahi ki a ia ano. Ki te mea tetahi he tangata mohio ia i roto i a koutou i tenei ao, tukua ia hei kuware kia tupu ai hei tangata whakaaro. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
Ki te Atua hoki he kuware noa nga whakaaro mohio o tenei ao: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka mau i a ia te hunga whakaaro i runga i to ratou tinihanga:
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Me tenei hoki, E matau ana te Ariki ki nga whakaaro o te hunga whakaaro, he tekateka noa.
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
No reira kei whakamanamana tetahi ki te tangata: no koutou hoki nga mea katoa:
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
Ahakoa a Paora, a Aporo, a Kipa, te ao, te ora, te mate ranei, nga mea onaianei, nga mea ranei e takoto mai nei, no koutou katoa;
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
A ko koutou no te Karaiti, ko te Karaiti no te Atua.
