1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
Wayi akon wa indi nito ta di ki mirko kristi wa ki tidun mai janji u Rji.
2 And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
Ni tu ki bason biwa ha he ni kpayeme ba ba ka yemen ni suron mba riri.
3 As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
Nime ana hi wani kpe du ba tre di bi sharan ta ni me ko bubu bla tre u ndi na Ime me mina sharanta ni tumu na.
4 For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
Mena to hla tre wa'a he ni tumu na kuma ana wa me tre mena bla tre na, u wa anito lha tre mu ahi Rji.
5 Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkenesse, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall euery man haue praise of God.
Naki na sharanta ni tu kperi kafi tan, kafi ye Rji. Ani lha du kpi niwa ba he riri ni mi bwuh da tsro manifa mba u mi suron. Naki ke nha ni kpa zizima ni wo Rji
6 Nowe these things, brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto mine owne selfe and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man presume aboue that which is written, that one swell not against another for any mans cause.
Mir vayi me tre tre nimer mu niwu Afollos don biyi, bi iya to manufa tre wa ba tre adi, “Nati zan kpi wa ba nhann.” Naki, don du ndi ri ban tuma ani wa wu zan ndi rira.
7 For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued? if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it?
Anha a to kan kanmbi ni bari? Bi he nigye wa bana nayi negye na, idan megge bi kpa, wu gye sa bi wurwi nikpambi na bi na kpa na.
8 Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made rich: ye reigne as kings without vs, and would to God ye did reigne, that we also might reigne with you.
Naki bina wa kpe hama na! bi riga he nikpi gbugbu'u wa biwa u bi riga sur cumbi me ba tere nita na. Naki me bi di na ti ndu tuchu'a ni tawu di du kita game ki he ni yi.
9 For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gasing stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men.
Nimer mu kipayeme Irji a yota manzani kiman ki koga wawu na wu ique ni hi ni tumba don ki zama kpe wu tsro ni gbugblu baba mauaiku duk baba ndi wawu.
10 We are fooles for Christes sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weake, and ye are strong: ye are honourable, and we are despised.
Ki he na biwa bana tokpe na sabo ni kristi wu bi he ni hikima ni nde kristi, ki hama ni gbegble na wu biyi bi he ni gbegble ba toyi ni daraja u ba na ta ni daraja na.
11 Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
Yeh ninton yi zizan iyaniti ta u nhama, wo bi sur me bana bina, batsita ba koh wu son.
12 And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
Ki farma nidu ni wombu. wuba mer ta me, ki ti lulu yo ba wu, ko ba tsan ata tawu ki vu suron.
13 We are euill spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offskowring of all things, vnto this time.
Du wa ba mer ta ki tre ni ba ni si suron ki he na bubu wu ka tsu le ni gbugblu, na kpi wa ba na bi ya na.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
Me na nha kpi biyi don me noyi sha na anibi du me mla tre didi ni yiwu ni wa me kpayem ni yi na bi mir mu.
15 For though ye haue tenne thousand instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: for in Christ Iesus I haue begotten you through the Gospel.
Wuhini he nibiwa lura ni yi du bu wula ni nde Rji, bi na he ni ba timbi gbugbumbi na. imeyi me yi me k'ma timbi ni cikin kristi Yesu domin Bishara.
16 Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
Anaki me yo yi du yi ti na wa mi ti'a.
17 For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, which is my beloued sonne, and faithfull in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my wayes in Christ as I teache euery where in euery Church.
A he na ki u me ton Timoti ni yi wa me kpayem ni wu kpukpome ni u Rji. Ani la hla yiwu jkon mu ni kristi na wa me tsro ba ko ni tsei, ni kowani tra Rji.
18 Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
Bari min mbi ba zu tu tsa na di me ta ye ni yi na.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will knowe, not the wordes of them which are puffed vp, but the power.
Wume mi ye niyi bawuntoba idon Riji kpayem. Ni ki mi to bi wurwa ni suron baba biwa ba tre bato zan konha. Mi kuma to gblgble suron mba.
20 For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
Mulki Rji a na tre mege ni sai ni gbl-gble tou yeyer.
21 What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?
Biwagye? me ye niyi ni kpalla koni ruhu Irji.
