1 Ukorintiyawa 4
1 Nene na unit yenje ari nafo ne, iba yenju ari a cin Kristi nin na nan katuwa nliru Kutellẹ ulinyeshin.
Let each one so think of us as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Vat nene ile imon na idin piziru usẹ unare na iyinin ninghe.
Now it is required in stewards, that each one be found faithful.
3 Bara nani kitining imon icing ghari anung su usharia, sa ushariya nanit asurne. Bara meng wang na nsu litinin ushariya ba.
But with me, it matters very little, that I should be judged by you, or by the judgment of men: indeed, I do not judge myself.
4 Na meng yiru imomon ile na idin belle litinighe ba, bara nani na uso unan ndiru ba. Chikilari unan su nsharia.
For, though I am conscious of no wrong, yet by this I am not justified: but he that judges me is the Lord.
5 Bara nani na iwabọ usharia kitenne nimomon a kube dutu, na ame Chikilare nsa ba. Aba damun nin nimon ikanang na inyeshin nan nya nsirti, a puun kibinai. Nanere kogha ba seru uru me kiti Kutellẹ.
So, then, judge nothing before the time, till the Lord comes, who will bring to light the secret works of darkness, and will also make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall each have his praise from God.
6 Nene, nuwana nilime nan nishono, inna su ile imone meg litinighe nin Apollos bara anughe, bara kiti bite anun yinno ile imon na idin bellu, “Na iwa kata ille imon na ina nyertu ba bellin.” Bara nin nani na umon nan nya mine wan ghantin litime kitene nmon ba.
And these things, brethren, I have, in figure, applied to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think more of teachers than what has been written; and that no one of you be vain of one to the injury of another.
7 Ghari di yenju umon di ugang kitin na mong? Iyaghari idumun ile na ina filinfiyari ba, andi ina filinferi, iyari udin nfo figiri nafo na usu nane ba?
For who gave you distinction, as a teacher? And what have you as a teacher, that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast, as if you had not received it?
8 Una malu use vat nile imon na udin nin suwe! Una mallu use imon nachara! Nenere uma su tigoh, bara tinanse tisu tigowe nanghinu.
You, Corinthians, are already full; you are already rich; you have reigned as kings independently of us. And that you did indeed reign, that we also might reign with you!
9 Meng ndin nkpilizu Kutellẹ na cheu ari nono kadura nafo anit alle na idin nca nkul. Tiso uyii imon yenju udu nono nanan kadura Kutellẹ nin nanit asurne.
For I think that God has appointed us the apostles, to the lowest place, as under sentence of death; for we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
10 Arik allalag bara Kristi, annug ajinjinghari nanyan Kristi, arik ana nsali nakara, anug anan nakara, ina ghantin anunku, ina toltin arik ku.
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honored, but we are despised.
11 Udak ko kube nene tidin kukpong ayin nin kotu nayi mmen sa imon kidowo icine ina fo ari kang na tidumun nilari ba.
Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and are maltreated, and wander about without a home,
12 Tidinsuu katuwa kaag, katuwe nin nachara bite, iwa yassu ari asa tise mmari, ti kuru tineu assa ti tere nibinai.
and labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
13 Iwa nanza nari lissa, assa tilira nin mang. Har tina so tisso, ina dun yenje ari nafo likinkin nyi nin nimon izemzem vat.
when defamed, we entreat; we have become like the outcasts of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day.
14 Na ndin nyertu ille imone nti minu iso imon ncin ba bara nkelle munu nafo nono nayi nigh.
I do not write these things that I may make you ashamed; but as my beloved children I admonish you.
15 Assa idumun nanan ndursuzu minu nimon amui likureri nan nya Kristi, na idumun nacif gbardang ba, bara meng naso ucif mine nan nya Kristi Yisa nan nya liru Kutellẹ.
For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet you have not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Bara nani sun nafo menghe.
I exhort you, therefore, be imitators of me.
17 Unare nati nto minu Timoti ku, kitimine gonni na nya yinnu sa uyenu gono nya Nchikilari, aba lizinmunu tiba nighe nan nya Kristi, nafo na ndin dursuzu nani vat natii Kutellẹ.
For this reason have I sent to you Timothy, who is my son, beloved and faithful in the Lord, that he may remind you of my ways that are in Christ, as I teach everywhere, in every church.
18 Nene among mine dumin nghantinu, insu nafo na mba dak kitimine ba.
Now, some have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you;
19 Nba dak kitimine nene nin nyinnu Kutellẹ. Kikaneri mba nin yennu ligan nliru na nan nghantinu nati, Vat nani yinnọ akara mine.
but I will come to you quickly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the speech of those who have become arrogant, but the power.
20 Bara na kilari tigoh Kutellẹ na ligan nlirari ba, likara ri.
For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
21 Iyaghari idumun suwe? Ndak kitimine nin lishonna sa usu nan nya nfip mishau?
What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of gentleness?
