1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Wayi akon wa indi nito ta di ki mirko kristi wa ki tidun mai janji u Rji.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Ni tu ki bason biwa ha he ni kpayeme ba ba ka yemen ni suron mba riri.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
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 myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judges 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 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.
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 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that all of 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.
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 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?
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 Now all of you are full, now all of you are rich, all of you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God all of you did reign, that we also might reign 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 think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to 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 fools for Christ's sake, but all of you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but all of you are strong; all of you are honourable, but 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 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain 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 own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we 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 Being defamed, we implore: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the waste of all things unto this day.
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 beloved sons I warn 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 all of you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have all of you not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have 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 plead to you, be all of you followers of me.
Anaki me yo yi du yi ti na wa mi ti'a.
17 For this cause have I sent unto 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.
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 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to 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 know, not the speech (logos) of them which are puffed up, 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 kingdom of God is not in word, (logos) but in power.
Mulki Rji a na tre mege ni sai ni gbl-gble tou yeyer.
21 What will all of you? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, (agape) and in the spirit (pneuma) of meekness?
Biwagye? me ye niyi ni kpalla koni ruhu Irji.
