1 Khawrin 4
1 Mamih he hlang loh Khrih kah tueihyoeih rhoek neh olhuep Pathen kah hnokhoem rhoek la m'poek tangloeng saeh.
Let a man, so, be reckoning of us, as officers of Christ, and stewards of sacred secrets of God.
2 Hnokhoem khuiah khaw uepom la a hmuh te ni tahae duela a toem.
Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards, that, faithful, one be found.
3 Tedae nangmih loh nan boelh akhaw hlanghing loh n'toeh hnin te kai ham rhemlem la om. Kamah khaw ka boelh uh moenih.
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,
4 Kamah khaw ka ngaihlih pawh. Tedae hekah nen he ka tang moenih. Kai aka boelh tah Boeipa ni.
For, of nothing, to myself, am I conscious: nevertheless, not hereby, am I declared righteous, but, he that doth examine me, is the Lord.
5 Te dongah Boeipa ha pawk hlan atah amah tue lakah pakhat khaw laitloek uh oepsoeh boeh. Amah loh yinnah khuikah a huephael te a yaal vetih thinko kah mangtaengnah te a phoe bitni. Te vaengah Pathen taengkah thangthennah tah rhip om van bitni.
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.
6 Manuca rhoek, nangmih ham kamah neh Apollos tah ka sa uh coeng he. Te daengah ni kaimih lamloh na cang uh vetih a daek tangtae te a poe uh pawt eh. Te daengah ni pakhat long khaw khat neh khat te na hoemdawk thil uh pawt eh.
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.
7 Te dongah u long nang m'boelhkhoeh? Na dang mueh te balae na khueh. Te khaw na dang van atah balae tih aka dang pawt bangla na pomsang.
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?
8 Na khueh uh tih na cung uh coeng tih na khuehtawn uh coeng. Kaimih pawt akhaw na manghai uh. Rhep na manghai uh te ka ngaih. Te daengah man kaimih khaw nangmih taengah ka manghai uh van sue.
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!
9 Te Pathen loh kaimih tah caeltueih hnukkhueng rhoek te a duek la n'tai ka ti. Diklai neh puencawn rhoek taengah khaw, hlang taengah khaw mueirhoi lamni ka om uh.
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.
10 Khrih kongah ka ang uh. Tedae nangmih tah Khrih ah na cueih uh. Ka tattloel uh dae nangmih na thaom uh. Rhuepom la na om uh dae kaimih tah n'sawtsit uh.
We, are foolish for Christ’s sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all-glorious, but, we, dishonoured.
11 Tahae tue duela ka pong, ka halh uh neh, a tlingyal la n'thoek uh tih ka rhaehba uh.
Until the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and are wanderers,
12 Kamamih kut neh ka saii uh tih ka thakthae uh. Ol m'bai uh te ka uem uh. N'hnaemtaek khaw uh ka yaknaem uh coeng.
And toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we hold on,
13 N'soehsal uh vaengah ka hloep uh. Tahae duela Diklai kohnawtvaikim neh khonuenvaihuk cungkuem la ka om uh.
Being defamed, we beseech: as the sweepings of the world have we become, the offscouring of all—until even now.
14 He he ka daek tih nangmih na yahnah ham moenih. Tedae ka ca thintlo rhoek bangla kan rhalrhing sak.
Not, to shame you, write I these things; but, as my beloved children, I admonish you.
15 Khrih ah cakhoem thawngrha na khueh uh cakhaw na pa te a yet moenih. Olthangthen lamlong ni Khrih Jesuh ah kai loh nangmih kan cun.
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.
16 Te dongah nangmih te hloep tih, kai kah mueiloh la om uh lah.
I beseech you, therefore, —become imitators of me.
17 Te dongah nangmih taengla Timothy kan tueih. Anih tah ka ca thintlo neh Boeipa ah uepom la om. Amah loh Khrih Jesuh ah ka longpuei te khotomrhali kah hlangboel takuem taengah ka thuituen vanbangla nangmih taengah han thoelh bitni.
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.
18 Nangmih taengla kai ka pawk pawt bangla hlangvang tah hoemdawk uh coeng.
But, as though I were not coming unto you, some are puffed up!
19 Tedae boeipa loh ngaih koinih nangmih taengla thaeng ka pawk ni. Te vaengah hoemdawk rhoek kah ol a om pawt te thaomnah la ka ming bitni.
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;
20 Pathen kah ram he olka dongah pawt tih thaomnah dongah ni a pai.
For, not in speech, is the kingdom of God, but, in power.
21 Nangmih taengla kam pawk puei ham te cungcik, lungnah mueihla neh muelhtuetnah, melae na ngaih uh.
What will ye? that, with a rod, I should come unto you? or, with love, and a spirit of meekness?
