1 Corinthians 4
1 So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
Asay nuna Kiristtoosa aylledanne Xoossaa xuuraa qonccisanaw hadari imettida asada oothidi qoppo.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
He hadaraa ekkida asati bantta Godaas ammanettidayssata gidanaw bessees.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
Shin hintte woykko haray tana pirddiko, taw aykkoka gidenna. Haray atto, takka ta bolla pirddike.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Ta kahay geeshshi, shin hessi ta polo xillo gideyssa bessenna. Ta bolla pirddanay Godaa xalaala.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
Hessa gisho, wodey gakkonna, Goday yoonna oode bollaka pirddofite. I dhuman geemmidabaa poo7o kessenna; asa wozanan qosettida qofa qonccisana. He wode, issoy issoy Xoossaafe galataa ekkana.
6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
Ta ishato, hintte gisho, Aphiloosanne tana leemiso oothada hinttew odas. Hessa ta oothiday, “Xaafettidayssafe aadhdhofa” yaagiya zoriya hintte nuuppe tamaarana melassa. Hessa gisho, oonikka issuwa sabbidi hankkuwa kadhanaw bessenna.
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Ne haratappe aybin aadhdhay? Neeni ekkaboonnabay aybi de7ii? Yaatin, neeni ekkidabaa hara asappe ekkida gidikko, ekkiboonna asada ays ceqettay?
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
Ha77i hintte kallideta. Ha77i hintte durettideta. Nuuni baynna hintte xalaala kawotideta. Hintte tuma kawotidabaa gidiyakko, nukka hinttera kawotanashin.
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
Xoossay nuna hawaareta, hayqo pirddettida asada asa ubbaafe nuna guye aathida taw daanees. Nuuni ha alamiyas, kiitanchchotasinne asaas kaassaba gidida.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
Nuuni Kiristtoosa gisho eeya gidida, shin hintte Kiristtoosan cinccata gidideta. Nuuni daaburanchcho, shin hintte mino gidideta. Hintte bonchchettideta, shin nuuni tooshettida.
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Ha77i gakkanaw nu koshattoos, saamottoos, kallottoos, wadhettoos; daana soo dhayidi toylattoos.
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
Nuuni nu kushen oothi aqoos. Nuna asi baaddiya wode anjjoos; nuna gooddiya wode dandda7os.
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
Nu bolla iitabaa odettiya wode lo77o qaala zaaroos. Nu ha77i gakkanaw ha alamiya pitonne wora yegettiya buure gidida.
14 I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Taani hessa xaafiday, ta siiqiya naytada, hinttena zoranaw xaafasippe attin yeellayanaw gidenna.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
Kiristtoosan hinttena dichchiya tayboppe bolla gidida kaaletheyssati de7ikkoka, hinttew issi aawu de7ees. Ta hinttena Kiristtoos Yesuusa Wonggelaan yelas.
16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
Hiza, hintte tana leemiso oothidi kaallana mela hinttena woossays.
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
Hessa gisho, ammanettida, ta siiqiya, Godan ta na7aa, Ximotiyoosa hintteko kiittas. I dumma dumma bessan de7iya woosa keethan ta tamaarssida, Kiristtoosa Yesuusan de7iya ta ogiya hinttena hassayisana.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Taani hintteko yoonnabaa daanin, otoriya issi issi asati de7oosona.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
Shin Goday giikko, mata wode taani hintteko baana. He wode otoranchchota odaa xalaala gidonnashin, entta wolqqaaka erana.
20 For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
Xoossaa kawotethay oda gidonnashin, wolqqaa.
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Taani hintteko xam77ara booyye woykko siiqoranne ashkke ayyaanara bo? Awussa dooreti?
