1 Corinthians 4
1 So think of us as Christ's servants given the responsibility for “the mysteries of God.”
ARAMAS akan en wia kin kit papa en Kristus o saunkoa pan me rir akan ren Kot.
2 More than this, those who have such responsibilities are required to be trustworthy.
A iaduen saunkoa kan? Amen amen en lelapok.
3 Personally it hardly matters to me if you or anyone else judges me—in fact I don't even judge myself.
I sota insenoki, me komail de kapung en aramas kasaui ia da. Pein ngai pil sota kasaui ia da.
4 I don't know of anything I've done wrong, but that doesn't make me morally right. It's the Lord who judges me.
Pwe sota me i pein asa, a kaidin met, me i pung kila, a Kaun o me kin kasaui ia da.
5 So don't judge anything before the right time—when the Lord comes. He will bring to light all the darkest secrets that are hidden, and he will reveal people's motives. God will give everyone whatever praise they deserve.
Ari, komail depa kasaui okotme mon a ansau, a lao Kaun o pan kotido, me pan kasansale dang marain okiok en me rotorot akan o kadiarokada lamalam en nan mongioing akan, amen amen ap pan indandeki ren Kot.
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied this to Apollos and myself as an example for you. That way you will learn not to go beyond what has been written, and not in arrogance prefer one over the other.
Ri ai kan, mepukat i kin inda duen ngai o Apolos, pwe komail en ale sang kit, pwe amen ender lamelame, me a siki sang me intingidier, pwe komail ender aklapalapaki amen, ap palian me teio.
7 Who made you so special? What do you have that you weren't given? Since you were given it, why do you proudly claim you weren't?
Pwe is me mone kin uk? A sota, me mi re om, me koe sota aleer. A ma koe aleer meakaros, menda koe kin suaiki, likamata koe sota aleer?
8 You think you have all you need. You think you're so wealthy. You think you're kings already, and don't need us. I wish you were really ruling as kings, so we could rule with you!
Komail medier o kapwapwalar, o komail kin kaunda, ap sota ale sang kit. I men, komail en kaunda, pwe kit ap pil pan iang komail kaunda.
9 The way I see it, God has put us apostles on display as the last in the line, condemned to die. We have been made a public show before the entire universe, to angels and to human beings.
Pwe i lamelame, me Kot kotin wiai ong kit wanporon akan, en tikitik melel, me mau ong mela, pwe kit wialar men kapuriamui eu ni sappa mon tounlang o aramas akan.
10 We're Christ's fools, but you are so wise in Christ! We're the weak ones, but you are so strong! You have the glory, but we are despised!
Kit me song en pweipwei pweki Kristus, a komail me lolekongki Kristus; kit me luet, a komail me kelail; komail me indand mau, a kit me indand sued.
11 Right up till now we're hungry and thirsty. We have no clothes. We're badly beaten up, and we have no place to call home.
Kokodo lel auer met kit men mangadar, o pil men nim piladar, o kiliso, o se kin kalokolok, o sota deu at.
12 We struggle on doing manual work. When people curse us, we bless them. When they persecute us, we put up with it.
O dodok ni pein pa at; kit me kalok sued, a se kin kapaiada, kit me kalokolok, a se kin nenenla; Ni at pakaraun mal, kit kin kapakap.
13 When they insult us, we respond with kindness. Even now we are treated like dirt, the worst trash in the whole world.
Kit wialar tatan kid o kopataun aramas karos.
14 I'm not writing like this to make you feel ashamed, but to caution you as my children whom I love so much.
I intingiedier mepukat kaidin pwen kanamenok komail, a pwen panaui komail nai seri kompok kan.
15 Even though you may have thousands of Christian instructors, you don't have many fathers—it was in Christ Jesus that I became your father when I shared the good news with you.
Pwe ma omail saunpadak pan Kristus me nen, nan sam omail akan me sota non toto, pwe ngai me kaipwi komail ren Kristus Iesus ki rongamau.
16 So I'm pleading with you to imitate me!
I ari poeki re omail komail en idauen ia do.
17 That's why I sent Timothy to you, my trustworthy son in the Lord who I love so much. He will remind you about the way I follow Christ, just as I always teach in every church I visit.
Pwe i me i kadarki wong komail Timoteus nai seri kompoke o lelapok pan Kaun o pwen kataman kin komail duen al ai kan pan Kristus, duen me i kawewedar ni momodisou karos.
18 Some among you have become arrogant, thinking I wouldn't bother coming to see you.
Akai komail me aklapalap likomata i sota pan pwar wong komail.
19 But I am coming to visit you soon, if that's what the Lord wants. Then I'll find out what these arrogant people are saying, and what kind of power they have.
A i pan pwar wong komail madang, ma Kaun o pan kotin kupura. I ap pan kilang kaidin padak en me aklapalap akan, a me manaman.
20 For the kingdom of God is not about mere words, but about power.
Pwe wein Kot sota mi ni kasoi a ni manaman.
21 So what do you want? Shall I come with a stick to beat you, or in love and a gentle spirit?
Da me komail mauki? I en pwar wong komail wa sokon, de limpok o ngen en opampap?
