1 Korintos 4
1 Ha lanagu tiriyo inaannu nahay midiidinyada Masiixa iyo wakiillada waxyaalaha qarsoon ee Ilaah.
Let people look on us as Christ’s servants, and as stewards of the hidden truths of God.
2 Haddaba waxaa laga doonayaa wakiillada in aamin laga helo.
Now what we look for in stewards is that they should be trustworthy.
3 Laakiin waa ila yar tahay inaad idinku i xukuntaan ama in dad kale i xukumo; xataa aniga qudhaydu isma xukumo.
But it weighs very little with me that I am judged by you or by any human tribunal. No, I do not even judge myself;
4 Waayo, waxba iskuma ogi, laakiinse ma aha taas aawadeed in xaq layga dhigay, waayo, waa Rabbiga kan i xukumaa.
for, though I am conscious of nothing against myself, that does not prove me innocent. It is the Lord who is my judge.
5 Taa aawadeed wakhtiga hortiisa waxba ha xukumina ilaa Rabbigu imanayo, kan waxyaalaha qarsoon ee gudcurka iftiimin doona oo muujin doona tashiyada qalbiga, oo markaas nin kastaaba wuxuu ammaantiisa ka heli doonaa Ilaah.
Therefore do not pass judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes. He will throw light on what is now dark and obscure, and will reveal the motives in people’s minds; and then everyone will receive due praise from God.
6 Haddaba, walaalayaalow, waxyaalahan ayaan aawadiin u soo qaaday qudhayda iyo Abolloosba, inaad xaggayaga ka barataan inaydnaan ka gudbin waxyaalaha qoran oo aan midkiinna midka kale u faanin.
All this, friends, I have, for your sakes, applied to Apollos and myself, so that, from our example, you may learn to observe the precept – “Keep to what is written,” that none of you may speak boastfully of one teacher to the disparagement of another.
7 Waayo, yaa kaa soocay? Maxaad haysataa oo, aanad helin? Laakiin haddaad heshay, bal maxaad u faanaysaa sidii adigoo aan helin?
For who makes any one of you superior to others? And what have you that was not given you? But if you received it as a gift, why do you boast as if you had not?
8 Horaad u dheregteen, horaad hodan u noqoteen, la'aantayo sida boqorro ayaad wax u xukunteen. Waan jeclaan lahaa inaad wax xukuntaan, inaannu annaguna wax idinla xukunno.
Are you all so soon satisfied? Are you so soon rich? Have you begun to reign without us? Would indeed that you had, so that we also might reign with you!
9 Waayo, waxaan u malaynayaa in Ilaah na soo saaray, annagoo ah rasuulladii ugu dambeeyey, sida kuwa dhimashada lagu xukumay oo kale, maxaa yeelay, wax la daawado ayaa lanooga dhigay dunida, iyo malaa'igaha, iyo dadkaba.
For, as it seems to me, God has exhibited us, the apostles, last of all, as people doomed to death. We are made a spectacle to the universe, both to angels and to people!
10 Annagu waxaannu nahay Masiixa aawadiis doqonno, idinkuse caqli baad ku leedihiin xagga Masiixa. Annagu waa xoog darannahay, idinkuse waad xoog badan tihiin, idinku ammaan baad leedihiin, annaguse waa maamuus la' nahay.
We, for Christ’s sake, are fools, but you, by your union with Christ, are people of discernment. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honoured, but we are despised.
11 Tan iyo saacaddan waan gaajaysan nahay, waanan harraadsan nahay, waanan arradan nahay, waa nala garaacay, oo meel aan ku hoyannona ma lihin.
To this very hour we go hungry, thirsty, and naked; we are beaten; we are homeless;
12 Waana hawshoonnaa annagoo gacmahayaga ku shaqayna; markii lana caayona waan ducaynaa; markii lana silciyona waan dulqaadannaa.
we work hard, toiling with our own hands. We meet abuse with blessings, we meet persecution with endurance,
13 Markii lana xantona, si qabow ayaannu u hadallaa, waxaannu noqonnay uskagga dunida iyo waxa ugu wasakhsan wax kasta tan iyo haatan.
we meet slander with gentle appeals. We have been treated as the scum of the earth, the vilest of the vile, to this very hour.
14 Anigu waxyaalahaas u qori maayo inaan idin ceebeeyo laakiin inaan idin waaniyo sida carruurtayda aan jeclahay oo kale.
It is with no wish to shame you that I am writing like this; but to warn you as my own dear children.
15 In kastoo aad leedihiin toban kun oo Masiix idinku rabbeeyey, aabbayaal badan ma lihidin, waayo, Ciise Masiix ayaan idinku dhalay xagga injiilka.
Though you may have thousands of instructors in the faith of Christ, yet you have not many fathers. It was I who, through union with Christ Jesus, became your father by means of the good news.
16 Haddaba waxaan idinka baryayaa inaad igu dayataan.
Therefore I entreat you – Follow my example.
17 Taas aawadeed waxaan idiin soo diray Timoteyos oo xagga Rabbiga ah wiilkayga aan jeclahay oo aaminka ah. Wuu idin xusuusin doonaa socodkayga ee ah xagga Masiixa, sidaan meel kasta wax ugu baro kiniisad kasta.
This is my reason for sending Timothy to you. He is my own dear faithful child in the Master’s service, and he will remind you of my methods of teaching the faith of Christ Jesus – methods which I follow everywhere in every church.
18 Qaar baa kibray sidii anigoo aan idiin imanaynin.
Some, I hear, are puffed up with pride, thinking that I am not coming to you.
19 Laakiin dhowaan baan idiin iman doonaa, haddii Rabbigu yidhaahdo, oo markaasaan garan doonaa kuwa kibray xooggooda, ee ma aha hadalkooda.
But come to you I will, and that soon, if it please the Lord; and then I will find out, not what words these people use who are so puffed up, but what power they possess;
20 Waayo, boqortooyada Ilaah hadal ma aha, ee waa xoog.
for the kingdom of God is based, not on words, but on power.
21 Maxaad doonaysaan? Ma inaan ul idiinla imaado, mise jacayl iyo ruux qabow?
What do you wish? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in a loving and gentle spirit?
