< 哥林多前書 4 >

1 這樣說,來人當以為我們為基督的服務員和天主奧秘的管理人。
lokA asmAn khrIShTasya parichArakAn Ishvarasya nigUThavAkyadhanasyAdhyakShAMshcha manyantAM|
2 說到管理人,另外要求於祂的,就是要他表現忠信。
ki ncha dhanAdhyakSheNa vishvasanIyena bhavitavyametadeva lokai ryAchyate|
3 至於我,或受你們的審斷,, 台受人間法庭的審斷,為我都是極小的事,就連我自己也不審斷自己,
ato vichArayadbhi ryuShmAbhiranyaiH kaishchin manujai rvA mama parIkShaNaM mayAtIva laghu manyate. ahamapyAtmAnaM na vichArayAmi|
4 因為我雖然自覺良心無愧,但我決不因此就自斷為義人;那審斷我的只是主。
mayA kimapyaparAddhamityahaM na vedmi kintvetena mama niraparAdhatvaM na nishchIyate prabhureva mama vichArayitAsti|
5 所以,時候未到,你們什麼也不要判斷,只等主,來祂要揭發暗中的隱情,且要顯露人心的計謀:那時,各人才可由天主那裏獲得稱譽。
ata upayuktasamayAt pUrvvam arthataH prabhorAgamanAt pUrvvaM yuShmAbhi rvichAro na kriyatAM| prabhurAgatya timireNa prachChannAni sarvvANi dIpayiShyati manasAM mantraNAshcha prakAshayiShyati tasmin samaya IshvarAd ekaikasya prashaMsA bhaviShyati|
6 弟兄們,我為了你們的緣故,把這些事貼在我自己和阿頗羅身上,好叫你們跟我們學習「不可越過所記載的,」免得人自,高看這個,鄙視那個。
he bhrAtaraH sarvvANyetAni mayAtmAnam Apallava nchoddishya kathitAni tasyaitat kAraNaM yuyaM yathA shAstrIyavidhimatikramya mAnavam atIva nAdariShyadhba Ittha nchaikena vaiparItyAd apareNa na shlAghiShyadhba etAdR^ishIM shikShAmAvayordR^iShTAntAt lapsyadhve|
7 誰使你異於別人呢?你什麼不是領受的呢?既然是領受的,為什麼你還誇耀,好像不是領受的呢?
aparAt kastvAM visheShayati? tubhyaM yanna datta tAdR^ishaM kiM dhArayasi? adatteneva dattena vastunA kutaH shlAghase?
8 你已經飽滿了,已經富足了,已需我們,自己可為王了;恨不得你們真為了王,好叫我們與你們一同為王!
idAnImeva yUyaM kiM tR^iptA labdhadhanA vA? asmAsvavidyamAneShu yUyaM kiM rAjatvapadaM prAptAH? yuShmAkaM rAjatvaM mayAbhilaShitaM yatastena yuShmAbhiH saha vayamapi rAjyAMshino bhaviShyAmaH|
9 我以天主把我們作宗徒的列在最後的一等,好像被判死刑的人,因為我們成了供世界觀賞的一埸戲劇。
preritA vayaM sheShA hantavyAshcheveshvareNa nidarshitAH| yato vayaM sarvvalokAnAm arthataH svargIyadUtAnAM mAnavAnA ncha kautukAspadAni jAtAH|
10 我們為了基督成了愚妄的人,你們基督內卻成了聰明的人;我們軟弱,你們卻強壯;你們受尊敬,我們受羞辱。
khrIShTasya kR^ite vayaM mUDhAH kintu yUyaM khrIShTena j nAninaH, vayaM durbbalA yUya ncha sabalAH, yUyaM sammAnitA vaya nchApamAnitAH|
11 直到此時此刻,我們仍是忍饑受渴,衣不蔽體,受人拳打,居無定所,
vayamadyApi kShudhArttAstR^iShNArttA vastrahInAstADitA AshramarahitAshcha santaH
12 並且親手勞碌操作。被人咒罵,我們就祝福;被人迫害,我們就忍受;
karmmaNi svakarAn vyApArayantashcha duHkhaiH kAlaM yApayAmaH| garhitairasmAbhirAshIH kathyate dUrIkR^itaiH sahyate ninditaiH prasAdyate|
13 被人誹謗,我們就勸戒;直到現在,我們仍被視為世上的垃圾和人間的廢物。
vayamadyApi jagataH sammArjanIyogyA avakarA iva sarvvai rmanyAmahe|
14 我寫這話,並不是為叫你們羞愧,而是為勸告我所親愛的孩子一樣,
yuShmAn trapayitumahametAni likhAmIti nahi kintu priyAtmajAniva yuShmAn prabodhayAmi|
15 因為你們縱然基督內有上萬的教師,但為父親的卻不多,因為是我在基督耶穌內藉福音生了你們。
yataH khrIShTadharmme yadyapi yuShmAkaM dashasahasrANi vinetAro bhavanti tathApi bahavo janakA na bhavanti yato. ahameva susaMvAdena yIshukhrIShTe yuShmAn ajanayaM|
16 所以我求你們:你們要效法我!
ato yuShmAn vinaye. ahaM yUyaM madanugAmino bhavata|
17 為了這個緣故,我打發弟茂德到你們那裏去,他在主內是我親愛和忠信的孩子,他要使你們想起我在基督內怎樣行事,和我到處在各教會內所教導的。
ityarthaM sarvveShu dharmmasamAjeShu sarvvatra khrIShTadharmmayogyA ye vidhayo mayopadishyante tAn yo yuShmAn smArayiShyatyevambhUtaM prabhoH kR^ite priyaM vishvAsina ncha madIyatanayaM tImathiyaM yuShmAkaM samIpaM preShitavAnahaM|
18 有些人以為我不會到你們那裏,就傲慢自大;
aparamahaM yuShmAkaM samIpaM na gamiShyAmIti buddhvA yuShmAkaM kiyanto lokA garvvanti|
19 其實主若願意,我必很快就要到你們那裏去;並且我所要知道的,並不是那些驕慢自大者的言辭,而是他們的能力,
kintu yadi prabherichChA bhavati tarhyahamavilambaM yuShmatsamIpamupasthAya teShAM darpadhmAtAnAM lokAnAM vAchaM j nAsyAmIti nahi sAmarthyameva j nAsyAmi|
20 因為天主的國並不在於言辭,而是在於德能。
yasmAdIshvarasya rAjatvaM vAgyuktaM nahi kintu sAmarthyayuktaM|
21 你們願意怎樣呢?願意我帶著棍棒到你們那裏去呢?還是懷慈愛和溫柔的心情到你們那裏去呢?
yuShmAkaM kA vA nChA? yuShmatsamIpe mayA kiM daNDapANinA gantavyamuta premanamratAtmayuktena vA?
