1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
lōkā asmān khrīṣṭasya paricārakān īśvarasya nigūṭhavākyadhanasyādhyakṣāṁśca manyantāṁ|
2 And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
kiñca dhanādhyakṣēṇa viśvasanīyēna bhavitavyamētadēva lōkai ryācyatē|
3 As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
atō vicārayadbhi ryuṣmābhiranyaiḥ kaiścin manujai rvā mama parīkṣaṇaṁ mayātīva laghu manyatē 'hamapyātmānaṁ na vicārayāmi|
4 For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
mayā kimapyaparāddhamityahaṁ na vēdmi kintvētēna mama niraparādhatvaṁ na niścīyatē prabhurēva mama vicārayitāsti|
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.
ata upayuktasamayāt pūrvvam arthataḥ prabhōrāgamanāt pūrvvaṁ yuṣmābhi rvicārō na kriyatāṁ| prabhurāgatya timirēṇa pracchannāni sarvvāṇi dīpayiṣyati manasāṁ mantraṇāśca prakāśayiṣyati tasmin samaya īśvarād ēkaikasya praśaṁsā bhaviṣyati|
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.
hē bhrātaraḥ sarvvāṇyētāni mayātmānam āpallavañcōddiśya kathitāni tasyaitat kāraṇaṁ yuyaṁ yathā śāstrīyavidhimatikramya mānavam atīva nādariṣyadhba ītthañcaikēna vaiparītyād aparēṇa na ślāghiṣyadhba ētādr̥śīṁ śikṣāmāvayōrdr̥ṣṭāntāt lapsyadhvē|
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?
aparāt kastvāṁ viśēṣayati? tubhyaṁ yanna datta tādr̥śaṁ kiṁ dhārayasi? adattēnēva dattēna vastunā kutaḥ ślāghasē?
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.
idānīmēva yūyaṁ kiṁ tr̥ptā labdhadhanā vā? asmāsvavidyamānēṣu yūyaṁ kiṁ rājatvapadaṁ prāptāḥ? yuṣmākaṁ rājatvaṁ mayābhilaṣitaṁ yatastēna yuṣmābhiḥ saha vayamapi rājyāṁśinō bhaviṣyāmaḥ|
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.
prēritā vayaṁ śēṣā hantavyāścēvēśvarēṇa nidarśitāḥ| yatō vayaṁ sarvvalōkānām arthataḥ svargīyadūtānāṁ mānavānāñca kautukāspadāni jātāḥ|
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.
khrīṣṭasya kr̥tē vayaṁ mūḍhāḥ kintu yūyaṁ khrīṣṭēna jñāninaḥ, vayaṁ durbbalā yūyañca sabalāḥ, yūyaṁ sammānitā vayañcāpamānitāḥ|
11 Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
vayamadyāpi kṣudhārttāstr̥ṣṇārttā vastrahīnāstāḍitā āśramarahitāśca santaḥ
12 And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
karmmaṇi svakarān vyāpārayantaśca duḥkhaiḥ kālaṁ yāpayāmaḥ| garhitairasmābhirāśīḥ kathyatē dūrīkr̥taiḥ sahyatē ninditaiḥ prasādyatē|
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.
vayamadyāpi jagataḥ sammārjanīyōgyā avakarā iva sarvvai rmanyāmahē|
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
yuṣmān trapayitumahamētāni likhāmīti nahi kintu priyātmajāniva yuṣmān prabōdhayāmi|
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.
yataḥ khrīṣṭadharmmē yadyapi yuṣmākaṁ daśasahasrāṇi vinētārō bhavanti tathāpi bahavō janakā na bhavanti yatō'hamēva susaṁvādēna yīśukhrīṣṭē yuṣmān ajanayaṁ|
16 Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
atō yuṣmān vinayē'haṁ yūyaṁ madanugāminō bhavata|
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.
ityarthaṁ sarvvēṣu dharmmasamājēṣu sarvvatra khrīṣṭadharmmayōgyā yē vidhayō mayōpadiśyantē tān yō yuṣmān smārayiṣyatyēvambhūtaṁ prabhōḥ kr̥tē priyaṁ viśvāsinañca madīyatanayaṁ tīmathiyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ prēṣitavānahaṁ|
18 Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
aparamahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ na gamiṣyāmīti buddhvā yuṣmākaṁ kiyantō lōkā garvvanti|
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.
kintu yadi prabhēricchā bhavati tarhyahamavilambaṁ yuṣmatsamīpamupasthāya tēṣāṁ darpadhmātānāṁ lōkānāṁ vācaṁ jñāsyāmīti nahi sāmarthyamēva jñāsyāmi|
20 For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
yasmādīśvarasya rājatvaṁ vāgyuktaṁ nahi kintu sāmarthyayuktaṁ|
21 What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?
yuṣmākaṁ kā vāñchā? yuṣmatsamīpē mayā kiṁ daṇḍapāṇinā gantavyamuta prēmanamratātmayuktēna vā?
