1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
U munu atuvalaghe ndeti ufwe ukhuta tulivavombi va Klisite na valoleli va wayelweli wa Nguluve.
2 And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
Khuelie ekhinogiwa khudoleli ave va kukhuveliwa.
3 As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
Khulyone khenu khedebe fineko nikhegiwa numwe uvukhegi uwa khemunu. Pwu sanikhe hega yune ni mwene.
4 For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
Sanikhega yune nimwene, sio khukhuta une nene golofu. Ve Nguluve uvieghugega.
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.
Pwu muleghe ukhunchova uvukhigi usikhi wusakhufiue, wuakhale ukhwincha Utwa. Aveigega ulumuli inogwa inogwa inchikhuhisi nukhusisimula uvunogwe vwu numbula. Pwu khila munu alapokhelaga uluginio lwa mwene ukhuhuma kwa Nguluve.
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.
Lino, lukolo nuveng'a nchavago, yune nemwene nu Apolo nivombile inyiho inchi khwa ajili yenu. Nilumanyile ukhuta ukhuma khulyufwe muwesya ukhuukhumanye umwa khunchovela, “Muleghe ukukhuluta khuvulogolo vuwkhesimbiwe.” Pwu asikhuli umunu uyange uviekheginia pakyaya nine.
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?
Pwu veni uveilola ukhuta satuhwanine na vange? Khekhi ukhyu linakyo ukhyosawambilile vuvule? Kama wambilile vuvule, kheki mukheginia wu samuvombile ewo?
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.
Lino mlenafyo fyoni ufyo mughanogwa gwa! Ulu muvile nuvutayali mteginle ukhulogoncha nu khunchova khuliko ufyese! Lino nikhuvadovela ukhulongoncha vunonu ukhuta tulogonchage panie numwe.
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.
Lino pwu nisaga u Nguluve atuvikhile ufye tuvasukhwa nukhutuvonesya uvusilelo vwa ndaba ugwa lulundamano ndavanu avakhegiwe ukhubudiwa. Tuvile nde sikuku khukheluga, khu va sung'wa na khuvanu.
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.
Ufye tulivakonyofu kwa Klisite, umwe mulinekhisa kwa Klisite. Tulivadekhedekhe, umwe mle na makha. Mdwadiwa, ufwe tubediwa.
11 Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
Mpaka lino tulinenjala nekyumila, tulivanchila mienda, tulavanchila vutamo.
12 And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
Tuvomba embombo na magha, na mavokho geto yufwe, wutubediwa, tukhuvasaya, wututesegha, tukhwumilila.
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.
Vwa tudukhiwa, twivuncha khuvudekhedekhe. Tuvile, tuvaliliwa ukhuta tubeliwe nekhelunga, tulikhakha la kumbombo nchoni.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
Sanisimba inogwa enchi uvakoncha isoni umwe, nikhuvakilivula umwe khama vana vago yumwe nivaganile.
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.
Ndamugave mlinava mwalimu vingi makumi elfu khwa Klisite, mnchila va baba vingi. Ulwa khuva kwa Yesu Klisite ukhugendela ilimenyu.
16 Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
Nikhuvadova mg'ogage une.
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.
Vulevule nasukhile u Timotheo, khuliumwe, vagane vago na mwivana mwivekhe kutwa. khuvakumbusya injila nchago khwa Klisite, nduwunimanyisya khuniipelela.
18 Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
Lino avange vig'eginia, wovivomba ukhuta sanilincha khulyume.
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.
Nikhwincha khulyume usikhi usupi, u Dada ag'egane. Pwu nikhulumaya sio mameye gavene vavo vikheginia, pwu nilo la amakha gavene.
20 For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
Ulwa khuva uludeva lwa Nguluve salwiva mumamenyu, wiwa mumakha.
21 What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?
Mwinogwa khikhi? Ninche khulimwe nulubinki au nulugano, ne numbula iya khisa.
