1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of [the] mysteries of God.
Keimi hin, Khritaw a mpya ja Pamhnama khyü ngthup pyen khaia Pamhnam naw a jah tak tia jah ngai kawm uki.
2 Here, further, it is sought in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Mpyaea phäh hlüki mat cun ami bawia vei sitih yah khaie.
3 But for me it is the very smallest matter that I be examined of you or of man's day. Nor do I even examine myself.
Nghngicima ningsaw ja nangmia ngthumkhyah cun kei naw ia am ngai veng. Kamät naw pi kamät ngthu am mkhyahei veng.
4 For I am conscious of nothing in myself; but I am not justified by this: but he that examines me is the Lord.
Ka ngaihnak ngcim ve, acunsepi acun naw akcanga ka ngcimki tia am mdan. Ka khana ngthumkhyahki cun Bawipa amät ni.
5 So that do not judge anything before [the] time, until the Lord shall come, who shall also both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and shall make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then shall each have [his] praise from God.
Acunakyase, Bawipa kcün am pha ham üng u pi ngthu käh mkhya pet ua, akpäihnaka ngthumkhyahnak cun Bawipa a law veia k'äih kawm. Ani naw nghmüp üng thup naküte cun akvai da jah law püi khai, mlung üng jah ngaihe pi jah mdang law khai, acuna mhnüp üng, khyang naküt naw ami mäta kyanaka, Pamhnama veia mküi yahei law khaie.
6 Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the [lesson of] not [letting your thoughts go] above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for [such a] one against another.
Ka püie, nami phäha kei ja Apawluh nami jah ngtheinak vaia ka mtänga kyaki. Isetiüng nami jah ngcuhngkihnak vaia ni. Thum mat naw ta “ning jah upkie cän jah bükteng ua” tiki. Nangmi naw mat camcah na lü mat pi käh msetei ua.
7 For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?
U naw nang ngvaia aning mcawn ni? Na tak naküt Pamhnam naw a ning peta am kyaki aw? Acune cun Pamhnam naw a ning peta kyase i vai na awhcahnaki ni?
8 Already ye are filled; already ye have been enriched; ye have reigned without us; and I would that ye reigned, that we also might reign with you.
Nami hlüei naküt nami tapängki aw? Nami bawimang pängkie aw? Sangpuxangea nami kyaki aw? Keimi ta am kya veng u lüpi nangmi nami kya üngta a atänga sangpuxanga mi kya khaie.
9 For I think that God has set us the apostles for the last, as appointed to death. For we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
Pamhnam naw keimi ngsä he cun khawmdek khyange ja khankhawngsä he hmuh vaia khyang ksunga akhnu säiha thi khaia a jah tak ni.
10 We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye prudent in Christ: we weak, but ye strong: ye glorious, but we in dishonour.
Khritawa phäha kami angki lüpi nangmi khritaw üng nami thengvaikie, keimi kthangcek lü nami ngjuktha üng nami beki. Nangmi khyang naw ning jah mhlünmtai lü keimi khyang naw jah hmumsitki.
11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are in nakedness, and buffeted, and wander without a home,
Tuh vei cäpa, cawixainak üng kami citcawn hüki. Suisak kdaw am kami taki, kpainak pi kami khamki, pung naküta kami citcawn hüki.
12 and labour, working with our own hands. Railed at, we bless; persecuted, we suffer [it];
Khüikhawm u ngüse kami suisaki, khyang naw a jah ksenak üng dawkyanak am kami kbeki; khyang naw a jah mkhuimkha üngka mi khameiki;
13 insulted, we entreat: we are become as [the] offscouring of the world, [the] refuse of all, until now.
ksekhanak kami kham üng akdawa kami jah msang beki. Khawmdeka phyawksak am kami tängeiki, tuhvei cäpa ia am kyakia kami veki.
14 Not [as] chiding do I write these things to you, but as my beloved children I admonish [you].
Isetiakyaküng ahin ka yuk law hin ning jah ngkeei hlüsak ngüse am ni. Ka ning jah mhlänak ka caea akba ning jah mcuhmtheh veng.
15 For if ye should have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the glad tidings.
Nami Khritjannak üng ning jah büktengki khawhah ve lü pi, pa mat däk nami taki. Nami veia thangkdaw ka lawpüi naw hina kcünsak üng Khritaw Jesuh üng nami yümmatkia kyase nami pa ka thawn lawki.
16 I entreat you therefore, be my imitators.
Nami na ngcuhngkihnak vaia ning jah nghui na veng.
17 For this reason I have sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved and faithful child in [the] Lord, who shall put you in mind of my ways [as] they [are] in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
Acunakyase, hina phäh kei naw Timoti ka tüih law ni. Ani cun khritjan kcünsak üng sitih lü ka mäta mhlänak Bawipa üng ka cakpa ni. Ani naw khaw naküt üng sangcime veia ka jah mthei ja Jesuh Khritaw üng pum matnaka xünnak ning jah mtheh be khai.
18 But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;
Avang naw nami veia am ka law khaia ngaikiea kyase awhcahkie ni.
19 but I will come quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but the power.
Acunsepi, Bawipa naw, a ngjak'hlü ta, akjanga nami veia ka law khai; acunüng ami pyen däk am kya lü ka phäha nangmi üngka johit pi ka hmuh law khai.
20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.
Pamhnama khyawngpe cun ngthu am kya, johita ni a kyak.
21 What will ye? that I come to you with a rod; or in love, and [in] a spirit of meekness?
Ini nami hlüei bawk? Kpaihcung am nami veia ka law khai aw? Ngmüimkhya Mhlänak ja mlunghnemnak am ka law khai aw?
