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.

I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh—as unto babes 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.

With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; —nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able,

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 ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?

4 Bara asa umong nworo, “Ndin dortu Bulus ku,” umon tutung woro, “Meng din dortu Apolos ku,” na issosin nafo anit asurne ba?

For, as soon as one beginneth to say—I, indeed, am of Paul! and another—I, of Apollos! are ye not, 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? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him.

6 Meng wa bilisu, Apolos tizza nmyen ku, nan nya nani Kutelleari nati inin tikunan.

I, planted, Apollos, watered, —but, God, caused to, grow.

7 Nanere, unan tibila nin nnan tizzu nmyen na imonmonari ba. Nan nya nani unan tibila nin nan tizzin.

So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, —but, God, who causeth to, 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.

Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: —howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, —according to his own labour.

9 Bara arik adon katwa Kutellẹari. Ulambu Kutellẹari, Makeke Kutellẹari.

For we are, God’s, fellow-workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, 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.

According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;

11 Bara na ina malu u tunu amere Yisa Kristi.

For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.

12 Nene asa umong nke kitene litinoe nin nizinariya, anzurfa, atala acine, akataku, tikpi, sa alut,

But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation—gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, 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.

Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, —and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: —

14 Vat nimon ile na unit na ke asa i naza ama seru uduk me.

If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive, —

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, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved—though, thus, as through fire.

16 Na iyiru anung kutyi nlira Kutellẹarri na Uruhu me sossin nan nya mine ba?

Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

17 Asa umong nnanzu kutyi nlira Kutellẹ, Kutellẹ ma nanzu unit une. Bara kutyi nlira Kutellẹ di lau, nanere anung wang.

If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, —and such are ye.

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 be deceiving himself: —if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, 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 with God; for it is written—He that taketh the wise in their knavery, —

20 Tutung Cikilarie yiru ukpilizu nnit ujinjinghe udi hem.

And again—The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Nani na umong nwa fo figiri nin nit ba! Bara imon vat nfyari.

So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, 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 things present, or things to come, all, are, yours,

23 Anung tutung anit nKristiari, a Kristi tutung unit Kutellẹari.

And, ye, are Christ’s, —and, Christ, is, God’s.
