Sie Corinth 4
1 Kowos in nunku kacsr lah kut mwet kulansap lun Christ, ac ituku kunasr in karingin ma pwaye lun God su tia eteyuk meet.
Let any man look upon us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the secret truths of God.
2 Ma se eneneyuk sin sie mwet kulansap uh pa elan orekma oaru nu sin mwet kacto lal.
Now it is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 Inge, wangin elya luk kowos ku mwet saya uh fin nununkeyu; nga sifacna nga tia pac nununkeyu.
But to me it matters very little that I am judged by you, or by any earthly court.
4 Nga pulakin sik sifacna mu wangin ma sufal luk, tusruktu nga tia ku in sifacna akpwayei lah wangin mwetik. Leum pa ac nununkeyu.
Indeed I do not even judge myself; for though I know nothing against myself, yet that does not vindicate me; for he who judges me is the Lord.
5 Ouinge kowos in tia nununku kutena mwet meet liki pacl fal. Nununku safla uh ac fah soano tuku lun Leum. El ac fah use ma nukewa ma oan yen lohsr uh nu ke kalem, ac akkalemye ma lukma nukewa insien mwet uh. Na kais sie mwet ac fah eis kaksak sin God, fal nu ke orekma lal.
So make no hasty judgment until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make plain the purpose of men’s hearts. Then each man’s due praise will come to him from God.
6 Mwet lili luk, nga fahk ma inge keik ac Apollos tuh in mwe srikasrak nu suwos, tuh kowos fah ku in etu kalmen fahk se inge, “Tia alukela ma oakwuk in Ma Simusla.” Kowos in tia konkin ke sie sesr ac pilesru el ngia.
Now these things, brothers, I have applied in a figure to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond what is written; that none of you be puffed up for the one, against the other.
7 Su oru tuh kom in fulat liki mwet ngia? Ya tia God pa asot ma nukewa nu sum? Na fuka tuh kom in konkin, srulun oana ma su oan yurum tia ma itukot nu sum?
For who makes you a differ, brother? Or what have you that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why are you boasting as if you had not received it?
8 Ku kowos falkin tari ma nukewa kowos enenu? Ya kowos kasrupi tari? Ya kowos tokosrala tari, a kut tia? Kwal, nga kena tuh in pwaye lah kowos tokosra, tuh kut in wi kowos pac tokosra.
But you, forsooth, are already full, are you? You are already rich? Without us you are already reigning? Yes, and I would that you did reign, so that we also might reign with you.
9 Tuh nga nunku mu God El filiya tuh acn sin mwet sap uh pa etok, oana mwet su wotla mu in misa ye mutun mwet uh, tuh in mwe intoe nu sin lipufan ac mwet fin faclu nufon.
But it seems to me that God has exhibited us apostles, last of all, like men doomed to death; for we are made a spectacle to the whole world, both to men and to angels.
10 Tuh ke sripen Christ kut mwet lalfon, a kowos mwet lalmwetmet yurin Christ! Kut munas, a kowos ku! Pilesreyuk kut, a akfulatyeyuk kowos.
For Christ’s sake we are fools, but you are quite philosophic in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are outcast.
11 Nwe ke pacl se inge, kut masrinsral ac malu; kut nukum mahn nuknuk; anwuk kut; kut takusrkusr mweyen wangin acn sesr;
Even to his very hour we are enduring hunger and thirst and nakedness and blows.
12 ac kut orekma upa in akfalye enenu lasr. Ke mwet uh kaskas koluk kacsr, kut pre in akinsewowoyalos; ke akkeokyeyuk kut, kut muteng na,
Homeless men, we toil, working with our own hands.
13 ke mwet uh akkolukye inesr, kut topuk ke kas kulang. Nwe ke pacl se inge, orek kut oana pus ma sisila lun faclu, ku kutkut ma arulana fohkfok!
When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when defamed, we conciliate. We have been made, as it were, scum-o’-the-earth, the very refuse of the world, to this very hour!
14 Nga simis ma inge nu suwos, tia mweyen nga lungse in akmwekinye kowos, a in luti kowos oana tulik saok nutik sifacna.
I am not writing this to shame you, but to admonish you, as my beloved children.
15 Tuh finne oasr singoul tausin mwet karingin kowos in moul in Christian lowos, a papa sefanna tomowos. Tuh ke kowos ma sefannala yurin Christ Jesus, nga pa papa tomowos, ke sripen nga use Pweng Wo nu suwos.
For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ Jesus, you can have but one father. For in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.
16 Ke ma inge nga kwafe suwos, kowos in oru oana ke nga oru uh.
I beg you then to imitate my example.
17 Ke sripa se inge nga supwalot Timothy nu yuruwos, su tulik saok ac oaru nutik in moul in Christian. El fah akesmakinye kowos ke ouiya nukewa su nga fahsr kac ke moul sasu in kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, ac su nga luti in church nukewa yen nukewa.
With this in mind I have sent Timothy to you. He is my dear and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ; the manner in which I ever teach everywhere in every church.
18 Kutu suwos mutawauk inse fulat mweyen kowos nunku mu nga ac tia fahsrot nu yuruwos.
Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19 Fin ou lungse lun Leum, nga ac sa fahsrot nu yuruwos, ac nga fah sifacna liye fin pwaye oasr ku yurin mwet inse fulat ingan, ku mwe na sramsram wel.
But come to you I will, and that soon, if it please the Lord, and then I shall learn not the talk of these boasters, but their power.
20 Tuh Tokosrai lun God tia ma ke kas, a ke ku.
For the kingdom of God is not in talk, but in power.
21 Pia kac ma kowos lungse nga in oru? In fahsrot nu yuruwos ke sie mwe sringsring, ku ke ngunin lungse ac kulang?
Which do you want? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in a loving and tender spirit?
