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.

And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — as to 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 I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now 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 yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

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 may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I — of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

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

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

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

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

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

so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;

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

and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,

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

for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

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 that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],

11 Bara na ina malu u tunu amere Yisa Kristi.

for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

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

and if any one doth build upon this 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.

of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

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

if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall 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 of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

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

have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?

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

if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye 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 any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age — 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 hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

20 Tutung Cikilarie yiru ukpilizu nnit ujinjinghe udi hem.

and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings 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 glory 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 about to be — all are yours,

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

and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
