1 Corinthians 4
1 So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
Kowos in nunku kacsr lah kut mwet kulansap lun Christ, ac ituku kunasr in karingin ma pwaye lun God su tia eteyuk meet.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
Ma se eneneyuk sin sie mwet kulansap uh pa elan orekma oaru nu sin mwet kacto lal.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
Inge, wangin elya luk kowos ku mwet saya uh fin nununkeyu; nga sifacna nga tia pac nununkeyu.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Nga pulakin sik sifacna mu wangin ma sufal luk, tusruktu nga tia ku in sifacna akpwayei lah wangin mwetik. Leum pa ac nununkeyu.
5 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 man will get his praise from God.
Ouinge kowos in tia nununku kutena mwet meet liki pacl fal. Nununku safla uh ac fah soano tuku lun Leum. El ac fah use ma nukewa ma oan yen lohsr uh nu ke kalem, ac akkalemye ma lukma nukewa insien mwet uh. Na kais sie mwet ac fah eis kaksak sin God, fal nu ke orekma lal.
6 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 think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
Mwet lili luk, nga fahk ma inge keik ac Apollos tuh in mwe srikasrak nu suwos, tuh kowos fah ku in etu kalmen fahk se inge, “Tia alukela ma oakwuk in Ma Simusla.” Kowos in tia konkin ke sie sesr ac pilesru el ngia.
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Su oru tuh kom in fulat liki mwet ngia? Ya tia God pa asot ma nukewa nu sum? Na fuka tuh kom in konkin, srulun oana ma su oan yurum tia ma itukot nu sum?
8 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!
Ku kowos falkin tari ma nukewa kowos enenu? Ya kowos kasrupi tari? Ya kowos tokosrala tari, a kut tia? Kwal, nga kena tuh in pwaye lah kowos tokosra, tuh kut in wi kowos pac tokosra.
9 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 men.
Tuh nga nunku mu God El filiya tuh acn sin mwet sap uh pa etok, oana mwet su wotla mu in misa ye mutun mwet uh, tuh in mwe intoe nu sin lipufan ac mwet fin faclu nufon.
10 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.
Tuh ke sripen Christ kut mwet lalfon, a kowos mwet lalmwetmet yurin Christ! Kut munas, a kowos ku! Pilesreyuk kut, a akfulatyeyuk kowos.
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Nwe ke pacl se inge, kut masrinsral ac malu; kut nukum mahn nuknuk; anwuk kut; kut takusrkusr mweyen wangin acn sesr;
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
ac kut orekma upa in akfalye enenu lasr. Ke mwet uh kaskas koluk kacsr, kut pre in akinsewowoyalos; ke akkeokyeyuk kut, kut muteng na,
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
ke mwet uh akkolukye inesr, kut topuk ke kas kulang. Nwe ke pacl se inge, orek kut oana pus ma sisila lun faclu, ku kutkut ma arulana fohkfok!
14 I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Nga simis ma inge nu suwos, tia mweyen nga lungse in akmwekinye kowos, a in luti kowos oana tulik saok nutik sifacna.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
Tuh finne oasr singoul tausin mwet karingin kowos in moul in Christian lowos, a papa sefanna tomowos. Tuh ke kowos ma sefannala yurin Christ Jesus, nga pa papa tomowos, ke sripen nga use Pweng Wo nu suwos.
16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
Ke ma inge nga kwafe suwos, kowos in oru oana ke nga oru uh.
17 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 assembly.
Ke sripa se inge nga supwalot Timothy nu yuruwos, su tulik saok ac oaru nutik in moul in Christian. El fah akesmakinye kowos ke ouiya nukewa su nga fahsr kac ke moul sasu in kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, ac su nga luti in church nukewa yen nukewa.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Kutu suwos mutawauk inse fulat mweyen kowos nunku mu nga ac tia fahsrot nu yuruwos.
19 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.
Fin ou lungse lun Leum, nga ac sa fahsrot nu yuruwos, ac nga fah sifacna liye fin pwaye oasr ku yurin mwet inse fulat ingan, ku mwe na sramsram wel.
20 For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
Tuh Tokosrai lun God tia ma ke kas, a ke ku.
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Pia kac ma kowos lungse nga in oru? In fahsrot nu yuruwos ke sie mwe sringsring, ku ke ngunin lungse ac kulang?
