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 us be so accounted of by you, as the servants of Messiah, and the stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Vat nene ile imon na idin piziru usẹ unare na iyinin ninghe.
Now it is required of stewards, that each 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 a light matter to be judged of by you, or by any man whatever; nay, I am no judge of 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 am not conscious in myself of any thing flagrant; yet I am not by this justified; for the Lord is my judge.)
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.
Therefore pronounce not judgments before the time, or until the Lord come, who will pour light upon the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the thoughts of men's hearts: and then will each one have due 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.
These things, my Brethren, I have stated concerning the person of myself and of Apollos, for your sakes; that, in us, ye might learn not to think of men, above what is written; and that no one might exalt himself in comparison with his fellow, on account of any person.
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 exploreth thee? Or what hast thou, which thou didst not receive? And if thou receivedst it, why gloriest thou, as if thou didst not receive 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.
Now ye are yourselves full, and enriched; and, without us, are on thrones! And I wish ye were enthroned; 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.
But I suppose, that God hath placed us legates the last, as for death; since we have become a spectacle to the world, 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, on account of Messiah; but ye are wise in Messiah! We are feeble; but ye are strong! Ye are lauded, we are contemned.
11 Udak ko kube nene tidin kukpong ayin nin kotu nayi mmen sa imon kidowo icine ina fo ari kang na tidumun nilari ba.
Unto this hour, we hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no permanent home:
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: they defame us, and we bless: they persecute us, and 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.
they revile us, and we entreat them: we are as the filth of the world, and the expiation for all men, up to this time.
14 Na ndin nyertu ille imone nti minu iso imon ncin ba bara nkelle munu nafo nono nayi nigh.
I write these things, not to shame you; but I instruct you, as dear 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 though ye have a myriad of teachers in Messiah, yet not many fathers; for in Jesus Messiah, I have begotten you by preaching.
16 Bara nani sun nafo menghe.
I beseech you, therefore, that ye be like 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 cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, that he might bring to your recollection my ways in Messiah, agreeably to what I teach in all the churches.
18 Nene among mine dumin nghantinu, insu nafo na mba dak kitimine ba.
Now some of you are inflated, as though I would not dare come 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 speedily, if God be willing: and I will know, not the speech of them who exalt themselves, but their 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 will ye? Shall I come to you with the rod, or with love and a gentle spirit?
