< 1 Corinthians 4 >

1 So us should regard a man as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Aicae loe Kri toksah kami hoi kathuk Sithaw ih lok pakuem kami ah minawk mah poek o nasoe.
2 (In this case *N+kO) moreover it is required in the stewards that faithful one may be found.
Toe kathuk Sithaw ih lok pakuem kami loe oep kaom kami ah oh han angaih.
3 Me myself however to [the] smallest matter it is that by you I may be examined or by a human court; In fact neither myself do I examine.
Toe nangcae mah maw, to tih ai boeh loe kami lokcaekhaih hoiah maw lok nang caek o cadoeh, kai hanah loe tidoeh na ai ni: ue, kai loe kaimah hoi kaimah lok kang caek vai ai.
4 No [thing] for against myself I have been conscious of; yet not by this have I been justified; the [One] however judging me [the] Lord is.
Kai lokcaek hanah sakpazaehaih tidoeh ka panoek ai; toe to tiah ka thuih naah zaehaih ka tawn ai, tih haih ih na ai ni: toe kai lokcaekkung loe Angraeng ni.
5 So then not before [the] time anything do judge until when may have come the Lord, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the motives of the hearts; and then the praise will come to each from God.
To pongah khoving thungah kanghawk hmuennawk to amtuengsak moe, palung thung ih poekhaihnawk kamtuengsak thaih, Angraeng angzohhaih atue pha ai karoek to lokcaek o hmah: to pacoengah ni kami boih mah Sithaw khae hoi pakoehhaih to hnu o tih.
6 These things now, brothers, I have applied to myself and Apollos on account of you, so that in us you may learn not beyond (what [things] *N+kO) has been written (to think *k) that not one for one you be puffed up over the other.
Nawkamyanawk, kaihnik khae hoi nam tuk o moe, kaminawk mah cabu thungah tarik ih lok pong kamthlai ah poek o han ai, maeto hoi maeto nam oek o thuih o han ai ah, kaimah hoi Apollo hae nangcae han patahhaih ah ka patoh.
7 Who for you makes different? What now have you which not you did receive? If now even you did receive [it], why boast you as not having received [it]?
Mi mah maw nangcae to minawk hoi anghmong ai ah kaomsak? Nangcae mah hak ai ih hmuen timaw na tawnh o? Nangcae khaeah paek boeh nahaeloe tipongah paek ai baktiah nam oek o loe?
8 Already satiated you are, already you have been enriched, apart from us you reigned; and I wish that really you did reign, so that also we ourselves you may reign with.
Vaihi loe na tawnh o mang boeh, vaihi loe nang raeng o boeh, kaicae loe to tiah ka om o ai, nangcae loe siangpahrangnawk baktiah na oh o boeh: kaicae doeh nangcae hoi nawnto ka uk o thai toeng hanah, na uk o tangtang han kang koeh o haih.
9 I think for (that *k) God us apostles last has exhibited as appointed to death, because a spectacle we have become to the world both to angels and to men.
Patoeh ih kami ah kaom kaicae loe, hum han suek ih kami baktiah, Sithaw mah hnukkhuem koekah amtuengsak boeh, tiah ka poek: kaicae loe long kaminawk, van kaminawk hoi kaminawk mah khet han koiah suek boeh.
10 We ourselves [are] fools on account of Christ you yourselves however wise in Christ; we ourselves weak you yourselves however strong; You yourselves honored we ourselves however without honor.
Kaicae loe Kri pongah kam thu o, toe nangcae loe Kri ah palungha kami ah na oh o; kaicae loe tha ka zok o, toe nangcae loe tha na cak o; nangcae loe pakoeh ih kami ah na oh o, toe kaicae loe patoek ih kami ah ni ka oh o.
11 As far as the present hour both we hunger and thirst and are poorly clad and are buffeted and wander homeless
Kaicae loe vaihi tue khoek to zok amthlam, tui anghae ah ka oh o; bangkrai ah ka oh o moe, minawk mah ang boh o, ohhaih ahmuen tangtang doeh ka tawn o ai;
12 and we toil working with [our] own hands; Being reviled we bless, being persecuted we endure,
tha ka pathok o moe, kaimacae ban roe hoiah tok ka sak o: minawk mah ang zoeh o naah, tahamhoihhaih ka paek o; minawk mah pacaekthlaek naah, palungsawkhaih hoiah ka pauep o:
13 (being defamed *N+kO) we entreat, As [the] scum of the earth we have become, of all [the] refuse until now.
minawk mah ahmin kasae thuih naah, tahmenhaih ka hnik o: kaicae loe vaihi khoek to kamhnong long nui ih hmuen baktih, phraek cuu ih anghnoeng baktiah ni ang suek o.
14 Not shaming you do I write these things, but as children of mine beloved (admonishing [you]. *N+kO)
Nangcae azat hanah hae hmuennawk hae tarik ih na ai ni, toe palung ih ka caanawk baktiah ni kang thuitaek o.
15 If for ten thousand guardians you shall have in Christ yet not many fathers; in for Christ Jesus through the gospel I myself you begot.
Kri ah patukkung sang hato na tawnh o cadoeh, Ampa loe na tawn o mang ai: kahoih tamthanglok rang hoiah nangcae loe Kri Jesu ah ka caa ah na oh o.
16 I exhort therefore you, imitators of mine do become.
To pongah ka sak ih baktih pazui kami ah na oh o hanah, kang pacae o.
17 On account of this I sent to you Timothy, who is my child beloved and faithful in [the] Lord, who you will remind of the ways of mine that [are] in Christ (Jesus, *NO) even as everywhere in every church I teach.
To tiah na sak o han ih ni Angraeng ah oep kaom, ka palung ih capa Timote to nangcae khaeah kang patoeh, kai Kri ah ka ohhaih kawng hoi kricabu ohhaih ahmuen kruekah ka patuk ih lok to anih mah na thui o tih.
18 As to not coming now of me to you were puffed up some;
Kai nangcae khaeah kang zo mak ai, tiah a poek o pongah, thoemto kaminawk loe amoek o.
19 I will come however soon to you, if the Lord wishes, and I will find out not the talk of those puffed up but the power.
Toe Angraeng koehhaih ah om nahaeloe, akra ai ah nangcae khaeah kang zoh han, to naah amoek kaminawk ih lok na ai ah, nihcae toksak thaihaih to ka panoek tih boeh.
20 Not for in word the kingdom of God [is] but in power.
Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae loe lokthuihaih ah om ai, thacakhaih ah ni oh.
21 What desire you? With a rod I may come to you or in love a spirit then of gentleness?
Nangcae loe timaw na koeh o? Nangcae khaeah bohhaih cung hoiah maw kang zoh han? To tih ai boeh loe amlunghaih hoi kanaem poekhaih palungthin hoiah?
