1 Ukorintiyawa 3
1 Meng wang linuana, na nna yinin nsu minu uliru nafo anan ruhu ba, nan nya nani nafo anit na nidowo, nafo nono nibebene nan nyan Kristi.
Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
2 Ina niza minu mmadrari na inawa ba, bara na iwa di isa duru uli ni nawa ba. Nene wang na isa duru ule ba.
I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,
3 Nene idu nan nya nidowo. Bara kikanga na liyarin nin fyeu nayi diku nan nya mine, na i sosin nan nya nidowo ba, tutung na idin cine nafo usu na nit ba?
for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
4 Bara asa umong nworo, “Ndin dortu Bulus ku,” umon tutung woro, “Meng din dortu Apolos ku,” na issosin nafo anit asurne ba?
For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
5 Ame Apolos ghari? A ghari Bulus? Acinari bara inughere ina yinnin, kitin ko uyeme unit Kutellẹ nani imon su.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.
6 Meng wa bilisu, Apolos tizza nmyen ku, nan nya nani Kutelleari nati inin tikunan.
I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
7 Nanere, unan tibila nin nnan tizzu nmyen na imonmonari ba. Nan nya nani unan tibila nin nan tizzin.
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
8 Nene ame unan tibila nin nan tizzin nmyen unit urumere, nani ko gha mine ma seru uduk me dedei nin gegeme katwa me.
He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
9 Bara arik adon katwa Kutellẹari. Ulambu Kutellẹari, Makeke Kutellẹari.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
10 Nafo na ubdu Kutellẹ na iwa nei nafo Cikilari makeke, Meng wa tuno kutyie umong da tunna nkewe, Nan nya nani na ko uyeme unit su seng yanda na ama li ubun nin kewe.
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
11 Bara na ina malu u tunu amere Yisa Kristi.
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Nene asa umong nke kitene litinoe nin nizinariya, anzurfa, atala acine, akataku, tikpi, sa alut,
If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 ima punu katwa me, bara liyirin ma punu kunin kanang. Bara ima punu nan nya nla. Ulari ma dumunu unutun ngegeme nimon ile na ko uyeme unit nasu.
his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.
14 Vat nimon ile na unit na ke asa i naza ama seru uduk me.
If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
15 Nani asa katwa mmong nduno, ama niu nin diruu, ame litime ma se utucu, nafo ulenge na ase usurtu in nan nya nla.
If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
16 Na iyiru anung kutyi nlira Kutellẹarri na Uruhu me sossin nan nya mine ba?
Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
17 Asa umong nnanzu kutyi nlira Kutellẹ, Kutellẹ ma nanzu unit une. Bara kutyi nlira Kutellẹ di lau, nanere anung wang.
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 Na umong wa risuzu litime ba. Andi umong din yenju adi jingjing nan nya nko kujie, na aso “ulalang” anan so jinjing. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Bara njinjing in yih ulele tilalanghari kiti Kutellẹ. Bara ina nyertini adin kifizu ajinjinghe nan nya tiwankari mine.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
20 Tutung Cikilarie yiru ukpilizu nnit ujinjinghe udi hem.
And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
21 Nani na umong nwa fo figiri nin nit ba! Bara imon vat nfyari.
Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
22 Sa Bulus, Apolos, Kefas, sa uyih. Sa ulai, sa ukul, sa imon ilenge na idi nene, sa Ilenge na idin cinu vat nminare.
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
23 Anung tutung anit nKristiari, a Kristi tutung unit Kutellẹari.
and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
