1 Corinthians 4
1 So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Hijeh chun Apollos le keima hi, Pakai lhacha Pathen thuki-imho phongdoh a ngansena changa kahi lhon bouve tin neigel jouvin.
2 Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
Hichea avetup a ngansena chang michu tahsan umtah mi ahi angaiye.
3 I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
Hinlah keima dingin nanghon ahilouleh mi koiham khat touvin eikholtoh ding chu thilthupin kagelpoi. Keima chung chang thua kakikhol ding jong ahipoi.
4 My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
Keiman ase le apha kahetna thu akicheh in, hinlah hichu keima kadih monge tina ahipoi. Keima chung thu kholtoh ding le gellhahna nei dinga chu Pakai Amatah ahi.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
Hiti ahijeh chun Pakai ahung phat masangin koima chung thu tanlhah jeng na neihih un. Ajeh chu Aman guhthima muthim lah a ibol jouseu chu vah'a akilahdoh sah ding chule ichan cheh diu ilunggon hou chu ahintah lang ding ahiye. Chuphat leh Pathen in amichang cheh a vahchoina dinga lom ahinauva apehcheh dingu ahi.
6 Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
Sopi deitahte, keiman kaseisa thua hin avetsahnan, keimatah le Apollos to kani lhonin kana hil tauvin ahi. Keiman Pathen Thubua kona kalahdoh a kahinsei chu phatah in lunga ngaitona neileu chun midang mosahna dinga nalam kaiyu khat kiletsah hoithopia naum louhel dingu ahi.
7 For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
Hitobang loma dinga chu kon thutan theina napeh u hintem? Pathen pehlou ipi naneiyu umem? Chule nanei jouseu chu Pathena kon ahi, iti dana thilpeh chang hilou tobanga kiletsah hoithona neiya nahiu ham?
8 Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!
Nanghon na ngaichat chan neiyin nakigelun ahi. Nangho aning lhingin nakigelun ahi. Keiho pang louva Pathen lenggama vaipopa nahiuve! Vaipoa pang hitaleu chun kati lheh in ahi, chutihen lang hileh nangho toh vaipo khom kahi diu ahitai.
9 For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.
Chusangin, Pathen in keiho hi vannoi pumpia miho le vantil ho vetnom hiding a galjo nunga sohchang gal hinga kikai, tha dinga gonsa tobang bep'a solchah a eikoiyu hiding in kagel in ahi.
10 We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.
Christaa kaki lhandoh nau hi angola toh kabang uve, hinlah nangho hi Christa a chingtah in naki seiyun ahi! Keiho hi kalhasamun, hinlah nangho nathanei lheh jengun ahi! Nangho jabol nachang uvin, hinlah keiho hi isahlou tah in eikibol uvin ahi.
11 To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
Tujeng jong hin keiho gilkel le dangchah thoh in kavahleuvin, chule kitomlumna ding pon jong kanei pouve. Keiho hi eikivo lhoiyun, chule gena in kanei pouve.
12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
Keihon thachol tah'in kakihinsona ding uvin kakhut tah'un na katong gimun ahi. Eigaosap hou phatthei kaboh uve. Alam louva eibol nauva kakido hat'un ahi.
13 when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
Keiho chungthua thuse aseinauva lungneng tah'in kataotho uvin ahi. Ahivangin keiho hi vannoiya deimon kaumun, tugei hin paiyin kaum nalaiyui.
14 I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
Keiman hiche kajih hi nangho jachat sahna ding kagon ahipon, ka-it tah chate hina a kahil chah joh'u nahibou uve.
15 Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
Ajeh chu nanghon Christa thu nahil thei uvah mi sang som nei jongleu chun, nanghon Lhagao lama pa khatbou naneiyu ahi. Ajehchu keiman nangho henga Kipana Thupha kahung seiphong ahitah jeh in nangho dinga keima hi Christa Yeshua a napau kahung hi ahitai.
16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
Hiti ahijeh chun keima umchan thouvin kati ahi.
17 That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.
Chule keiman Pakaiya kacha ngaitah le tahsan umtah Timothy hi kahinsol ahitai. Amahin keiman Christa Yeshua chu iti kajui ahi; houbung kachena jouse ho kahilna banga chu nangho avela nagel dohsah kit dingu ahiye.
18 Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
Keiman kahung vil kit tahlou ding gel'a na umjeh uvin, mi phabep nalah uva alouchal naum tauve.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
Hinlah keima kahunga chule gangtah a Pakaiyin eiphalpeh ahileh hiche kihi sahtah'a thuseiya um hohi atho thu'u hiya ham ahilouleh Pathen thahat nei hiuvem ti kholdoh nange.
20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
Ajehchu Pathen lenggam hi thua seitho seh seh chu ahipoi, hichu Pathen thahatna'a hinjoh chu ahiye.
21 Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
Hoijoh nakilhen dingu ham? Keima mol kichoiya gotna pedinga naheng uva kahung ding ham? Ahilouleh ngailutna le lungnenga kahung ding ham?
