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 couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Messiah.

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 fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,

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 fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions amongst you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

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 says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

5 Ame Apolos ghari? A ghari Bulus? Acinari bara inughere ina yinnin, kitin ko uyeme unit Kutellẹ nani imon su.

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you 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 gave the increase.

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

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

8 Nene ame unan tibila nin nan tizzin nmyen unit urumere, nani ko gha mine ma seru uduk me dedei nin gegeme katwa me.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labour.

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

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, 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 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.

11 Bara na ina malu u tunu amere Yisa Kristi.

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Yeshua the Messiah.

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

But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly 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.

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.

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

If any man’s work remains which he built on it, 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 any man’s work is burnt, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

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

Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives 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, which you are.

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 anyone thinks that he is wise amongst you in this world, let him become a fool 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 has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

20 Tutung Cikilarie yiru ukpilizu nnit ujinjinghe udi hem.

And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

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

Therefore let no one boast 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 Kefa, 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 you are Messiah’s, and Messiah is God’s.
