1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Mamih he hlang loh Khrih kah tueihyoeih rhoek neh olhuep Pathen kah hnokhoem rhoek la m'poek tangloeng saeh.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Hnokhoem khuiah khaw uepom la a hmuh te ni tahae duela a toem.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.
Tedae nangmih loh nan boelh akhaw hlanghing loh n'toeh hnin te kai ham rhemlem la om. Kamah khaw ka boelh uh moenih.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judges me is the Lord.
Kamah khaw ka ngaihlih pawh. Tedae hekah nen he ka tang moenih. Kai aka boelh tah Boeipa ni.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Te dongah Boeipa ha pawk hlan atah amah tue lakah pakhat khaw laitloek uh oepsoeh boeh. Amah loh yinnah khuikah a huephael te a yaal vetih thinko kah mangtaengnah te a phoe bitni. Te vaengah Pathen taengkah thangthennah tah rhip om van bitni.
6 And these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
Manuca rhoek, nangmih ham kamah neh Apollos tah ka sa uh coeng he. Te daengah ni kaimih lamloh na cang uh vetih a daek tangtae te a poe uh pawt eh. Te daengah ni pakhat long khaw khat neh khat te na hoemdawk thil uh pawt eh.
7 For who makes you to differ from another? and what have you that you did not receive? now if you did receive it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
Te dongah u long nang m'boelhkhoeh? Na dang mueh te balae na khueh. Te khaw na dang van atah balae tih aka dang pawt bangla na pomsang.
8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
Na khueh uh tih na cung uh coeng tih na khuehtawn uh coeng. Kaimih pawt akhaw na manghai uh. Rhep na manghai uh te ka ngaih. Te daengah man kaimih khaw nangmih taengah ka manghai uh van sue.
9 For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
Te Pathen loh kaimih tah caeltueih hnukkhueng rhoek te a duek la n'tai ka ti. Diklai neh puencawn rhoek taengah khaw, hlang taengah khaw mueirhoi lamni ka om uh.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honorable, but we are despised.
Khrih kongah ka ang uh. Tedae nangmih tah Khrih ah na cueih uh. Ka tattloel uh dae nangmih na thaom uh. Rhuepom la na om uh dae kaimih tah n'sawtsit uh.
11 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place;
Tahae tue duela ka pong, ka halh uh neh, a tlingyal la n'thoek uh tih ka rhaehba uh.
12 And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
Kamamih kut neh ka saii uh tih ka thakthae uh. Ol m'bai uh te ka uem uh. N'hnaemtaek khaw uh ka yaknaem uh coeng.
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things to this day.
N'soehsal uh vaengah ka hloep uh. Tahae duela Diklai kohnawtvaikim neh khonuenvaihuk cungkuem la ka om uh.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
He he ka daek tih nangmih na yahnah ham moenih. Tedae ka ca thintlo rhoek bangla kan rhalrhing sak.
15 For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Khrih ah cakhoem thawngrha na khueh uh cakhaw na pa te a yet moenih. Olthangthen lamlong ni Khrih Jesuh ah kai loh nangmih kan cun.
16 Why I beseech you, be you followers of me.
Te dongah nangmih te hloep tih, kai kah mueiloh la om uh lah.
17 For this cause have I sent to you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
Te dongah nangmih taengla Timothy kan tueih. Anih tah ka ca thintlo neh Boeipa ah uepom la om. Amah loh Khrih Jesuh ah ka longpuei te khotomrhali kah hlangboel takuem taengah ka thuituen vanbangla nangmih taengah han thoelh bitni.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
Nangmih taengla kai ka pawk pawt bangla hlangvang tah hoemdawk uh coeng.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
Tedae boeipa loh ngaih koinih nangmih taengla thaeng ka pawk ni. Te vaengah hoemdawk rhoek kah ol a om pawt te thaomnah la ka ming bitni.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Pathen kah ram he olka dongah pawt tih thaomnah dongah ni a pai.
21 What will you? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
Nangmih taengla kam pawk puei ham te cungcik, lungnah mueihla neh muelhtuetnah, melae na ngaih uh.
