1 Khawrin 4
1 Mamih he hlang loh Khrih kah tueihyoeih rhoek neh olhuep Pathen kah hnokhoem rhoek la m'poek tangloeng saeh.
Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.
2 Hnokhoem khuiah khaw uepom la a hmuh te ni tahae duela a toem.
And it is right for such servants to be safe persons.
3 Tedae nangmih loh nan boelh akhaw hlanghing loh n'toeh hnin te kai ham rhemlem la om. Kamah khaw ka boelh uh moenih.
But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.
4 Kamah khaw ka ngaihlih pawh. Tedae hekah nen he ka tang moenih. Kai aka boelh tah Boeipa ni.
For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.
5 Te dongah Boeipa ha pawk hlan atah amah tue lakah pakhat khaw laitloek uh oepsoeh boeh. Amah loh yinnah khuikah a huephael te a yaal vetih thinko kah mangtaengnah te a phoe bitni. Te vaengah Pathen taengkah thangthennah tah rhip om van bitni.
For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.
6 Manuca rhoek, nangmih ham kamah neh Apollos tah ka sa uh coeng he. Te daengah ni kaimih lamloh na cang uh vetih a daek tangtae te a poe uh pawt eh. Te daengah ni pakhat long khaw khat neh khat te na hoemdawk thil uh pawt eh.
My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.
7 Te dongah u long nang m'boelhkhoeh? Na dang mueh te balae na khueh. Te khaw na dang van atah balae tih aka dang pawt bangla na pomsang.
For who made you better than your brother? or what have you that has not been given to you? but if it has been given to you, what cause have you for pride, as if it had not been given to you?
8 Na khueh uh tih na cung uh coeng tih na khuehtawn uh coeng. Kaimih pawt akhaw na manghai uh. Rhep na manghai uh te ka ngaih. Te daengah man kaimih khaw nangmih taengah ka manghai uh van sue.
For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.
9 Te Pathen loh kaimih tah caeltueih hnukkhueng rhoek te a duek la n'tai ka ti. Diklai neh puencawn rhoek taengah khaw, hlang taengah khaw mueirhoi lamni ka om uh.
For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 Khrih kongah ka ang uh. Tedae nangmih tah Khrih ah na cueih uh. Ka tattloel uh dae nangmih na thaom uh. Rhuepom la na om uh dae kaimih tah n'sawtsit uh.
We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame.
11 Tahae tue duela ka pong, ka halh uh neh, a tlingyal la n'thoek uh tih ka rhaehba uh.
Even to this hour we are without food, drink, and clothing, we are given blows and have no certain resting-place;
12 Kamamih kut neh ka saii uh tih ka thakthae uh. Ol m'bai uh te ka uem uh. N'hnaemtaek khaw uh ka yaknaem uh coeng.
And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;
13 N'soehsal uh vaengah ka hloep uh. Tahae duela Diklai kohnawtvaikim neh khonuenvaihuk cungkuem la ka om uh.
When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.
14 He he ka daek tih nangmih na yahnah ham moenih. Tedae ka ca thintlo rhoek bangla kan rhalrhing sak.
I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.
15 Khrih ah cakhoem thawngrha na khueh uh cakhaw na pa te a yet moenih. Olthangthen lamlong ni Khrih Jesuh ah kai loh nangmih kan cun.
For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.
16 Te dongah nangmih te hloep tih, kai kah mueiloh la om uh lah.
So my desire is that you take me as your example.
17 Te dongah nangmih taengla Timothy kan tueih. Anih tah ka ca thintlo neh Boeipa ah uepom la om. Amah loh Khrih Jesuh ah ka longpuei te khotomrhali kah hlangboel takuem taengah ka thuituen vanbangla nangmih taengah han thoelh bitni.
For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.
18 Nangmih taengla kai ka pawk pawt bangla hlangvang tah hoemdawk uh coeng.
Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.
19 Tedae boeipa loh ngaih koinih nangmih taengla thaeng ka pawk ni. Te vaengah hoemdawk rhoek kah ol a om pawt te thaomnah la ka ming bitni.
But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.
20 Pathen kah ram he olka dongah pawt tih thaomnah dongah ni a pai.
For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.
21 Nangmih taengla kam pawk puei ham te cungcik, lungnah mueihla neh muelhtuetnah, melae na ngaih uh.
What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?
