1 Ukorintiyawa 4
1 Nene na unit yenje ari nafo ne, iba yenju ari a cin Kristi nin na nan katuwa nliru Kutellẹ ulinyeshin.
So let a man consider 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.
Here, moreover, it is required among stewards, that every one must 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 to me it is the smallest matter, that I may be judged by you, or by human day: but 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 I know nothing against myself; but in this I am not justified; and the Lord is the one judging me.
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 judge nothing before the time, until the Lord may come, who will also bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then praise shall be to each one 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.
But, brethren, I have transferred these things to myself and Apollos on your account: that you may learn among us not to be wise above what is written; in order that you may not be puffed up one in behalf of one against 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 judges you? and what have you which you did not receive. But if indeed you received it, why do you boast, as not having 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.
Already are ye filled, already have ye become rich; you did reign without us: and I would indeed that you did reign, in order that we also might reign along 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, God has exhibited us apostles the last, as exposed to death: that we may become a theater to the world, and 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 glorious, but we are dishonorable.
11 Udak ko kube nene tidin kukpong ayin nin kotu nayi mmen sa imon kidowo icine ina fo ari kang na tidumun nilari ba.
until this hour we both hunger and thirst, and suffer for insufficient clothing, and are buffeted; and we tramp,
12 Tidinsuu katuwa kaag, katuwe nin nachara bite, iwa yassu ari asa tise mmari, ti kuru tineu assa ti tere nibinai.
and we toil working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;
13 Iwa nanza nari lissa, assa tilira nin mang. Har tina so tisso, ina dun yenje ari nafo likinkin nyi nin nimon izemzem vat.
being scandalized, we entreat: we have become as the offscourings of the world, the refuse of all things until now.
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 shaming you, but admonishing you as my beloved children.
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 if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but you have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Bara nani sun nafo menghe.
Therefore I exhort you, be ye 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 same thing I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ Jesus, as I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Nene among mine dumin nghantinu, insu nafo na mba dak kitimine ba.
But some were inflated, as if I was not coming unto 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 may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.
20 Bara na kilari tigoh Kutellẹ na ligan nlirari ba, likara ri.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 Iyaghari idumun suwe? Ndak kitimine nin lishonna sa usu nan nya nfip mishau?
What do you wish? must I come unto you with the rod, or in divine love and the spirit of meekness?
