1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man, so, be reckoning of us, as officers of Christ, and stewards of sacred secrets of God.
Keini hih Khrista tîrlâmngei, le Pathien chongtak inthup donsûipungeiin mi mindon roi.
2 Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards, that, faithful, one be found.
Hi taka neinun ankhat anâng chu tîrlâmngei hah an pu mitmua mi taksônom an ni rang ani.
3 With me, however, it counteth for the very smallest thing, that, by you, I should be examined, or by a human day. Nay! I am not even examining myself,
Atûn nangnin mi nin jêkna le miriem mindonna balama mi nin jêkna hah kei rangin chu itên bê mu-ung; Ke thenin khom ko roijêk ngâi mu-ung.
4 For, of nothing, to myself, am I conscious: nevertheless, not hereby, am I declared righteous, but, he that doth examine me, is the Lord.
Ki sielesarietna chu ânthâr, hannirese mahan keima sietnaboi ki ni tatak inthârna om uol mak. Pumapa hah ku chunga roijêkpu chu ani.
5 So then, not before the fitting time, be judging anything, —until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and, then, the praise shall come to each one, from God.
Masikin Pumapa juong nôk mâka chu azora diktak motona roi lei jêkmasat lai no roi. Azoina roijêkna chu Pumapa juong rang ngâk ngêt nîng a ta; ama'n ijînga inthup ngei hah avâra hong kêlsuong a ta, miriem mulungrîla bôkna inthup ngei khom minlang sâng atih. Male mitinin minpâkna an chang rang dôr Pathien renga an khôk rang ani.
6 But, these things, brethren, have I transferred unto myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that, in us, ye might learn [the lesson] —Not beyond the things that are written…! that ye do not puff yourselves up, individually, for this one against that.
Ka lâibungngei le sarnungei, “Balamngei hih jôm roi,” ti hi nin inchu theina rangin keima le Apollos hih nin enton rangin ko hong târminlang ani, tutên mi inkhat songin midang enkhûm no roi.
7 For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst not received it?
Tumo midang chunga ulienin nangni sin? Neinuntin nin man ngei hah Pathien'n nangni a pêk nimak mo? Asa, nin man anînte ithomo manboipêk aman loi angin omlien nin songa?
8 Already, ye have become full, already, ye are become rich, —apart from us, ye are become kings! And I would indeed ye had become kings, that, we also, with you, might have together become kings!
Nin nâng ngei murdi nin dôn zoi mo? Nin nei mo ani zoi? Kin om nonnom rêngngei nin chang thei mo ani zoi? Asa, rêngngei chang thei tatak ungla ku nuom ani, hanke nangni leh munkhata rêngngei ei chang thei rang.
9 For I think that, God, hath set forth, us the apostles, to be last of all, as men devoted to death, —in that, a spectacle, have we been made, unto the world, —both unto messengers and unto men.
Pathien'n keini tîrtonngei hih thi ranga inkhâm anga anûktaka mi tîrsuokin kin bê ani; rammuol le vântîrtonngei le miriemngei mitmua enhoia sinin kin om sika hin.
10 We, are foolish for Christ’s sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all-glorious, but, we, dishonoured.
Keini chu Khrista jârin amo kin ni; aniatachu nangni chu Khrista jârin mivâr nin ni! Keini chu kin doka, hannirese nangni chu nin rât! keini chu mingeiin min enkhûma, nangni chu mirit nangni an tho!
11 Until the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and are wanderers,
Atûn ten vonchâm le tui inrâlin kin oma; rovo chetin kin invoa; mi tôkmol kin tuonga; ommun invâiin kin chai titir ani;
12 And toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we hold on,
Kin kuta sinthôn dûktong takin kin invâi ani. Mîn khomâk min sâm khomin sat kin vur ngâia; dûk min mintong khomin diertakin kan tuonga;
13 Being defamed, we beseech: as the sweepings of the world have we become, the offscouring of all—until even now.
Mi min êro khomin chong dâiriemin kin thuon ngâi. Hi rammuola ronok leh tei uol khâi mak meh; hi zora ten khom hin rammuola pornôngkok angin kin ni.
14 Not, to shame you, write I these things; but, as my beloved children, I admonish you.
Hi chong ki miziek hih nin inzakpuina ranga ki ti niloiin, Ka nâi moroi ngei angin nangni minchu ku nuom sika ani.
15 For, though myriads of tutors ye should have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for, in Christ Jesus, through means of the joyful message, I, begat you.
Khristien ringnuna enkolpu isâng sôm dôn khom ungla, Pa chu inkhat vai kêng nin dôn. Nan lâia Thurchi Sa hong mintunga Khrista Jisua leh inzoma nin ringna han nin pa ko hongni ani.
16 I beseech you, therefore, —become imitators of me.
Masikin keima ku nunchan jûi rangin nangni ke ngên.
17 For this cause, sent I unto you, Timothy, —who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put, you, in mind of my ways which are in Christ [Jesus], even as, everywhere, in every assembly, I teach.
Hi chungroia hin Timothy, khristien ringnun jâra ka nâipasal moroi le taksônom hih nin kôm ko hongtîr. Ama'n Khrista leh inzomin ringna thara ku nunchan muntina koiindangngei murdi ki minchu ngâi anghan nangni min riet nôk atih.
18 But, as though I were not coming unto you, some are puffed up!
Nin lâia ko hong khâi loi rang mini ti nin bôk sikin, mi senkhatin chu omlien nan song ani.
19 Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you, —if, the Lord, please, —and will get to know—not the speech of them who are puffed up, but, the power;
Nikhomrese, Pumapa'n asa a tiin chu nan lâia hong lai ki tih, Hanchu hi mi ânsong ngei hih an mûrra an ti vai niloiin, sinthotheina an dôn khom mu thei ki ti zoi.
20 For, not in speech, is the kingdom of God, but, in power.
Pathien Rêngram chu chongbâingei vaia om niloiin sinthotheinân aom kêng ani uol.
21 What will ye? that, with a rod, I should come unto you? or, with love, and a spirit of meekness?
Imo nin nuom uol? Tôkmol leh mo nin kôm ku juong rang, aninônchu ratha lungkhamna le nuninnêmin mo?
