1 Corinthians 4
1 So a person should consider us as Meshikha's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
U munu atuvalaghe ndeti ufwe ukhuta tulivavombi va Klisite na valoleli va wayelweli wa Nguluve.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
Khuelie ekhinogiwa khudoleli ave va kukhuveliwa.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I do not judge my own self.
Khulyone khenu khedebe fineko nikhegiwa numwe uvukhegi uwa khemunu. Pwu sanikhe hega yune ni mwene.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Sanikhega yune nimwene, sio khukhuta une nene golofu. Ve Nguluve uvieghugega.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one will get his praise from 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 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to go beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
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 makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Pwu veni uveilola ukhuta satuhwanine na vange? Khekhi ukhyu linakyo ukhyosawambilile vuvule? Kama wambilile vuvule, kheki mukheginia wu samuvombile ewo?
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign 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 think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and people.
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 fools for Meshikha's sake, but you are wise in Meshikha. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
Ufye tulivakonyofu kwa Klisite, umwe mulinekhisa kwa Klisite. Tulivadekhedekhe, umwe mle na makha. Mdwadiwa, ufwe tubediwa.
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Mpaka lino tulinenjala nekyumila, tulivanchila mienda, tulavanchila vutamo.
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
Tuvomba embombo na magha, na mavokho geto yufwe, wutubediwa, tukhuvasaya, wututesegha, tukhwumilila.
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
Vwa tudukhiwa, twivuncha khuvudekhedekhe. Tuvile, tuvaliliwa ukhuta tubeliwe nekhelunga, tulikhakha la kumbombo nchoni.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Sanisimba inogwa enchi uvakoncha isoni umwe, nikhuvakilivula umwe khama vana vago yumwe nivaganile.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Meshikha, yet not many fathers. For in Meshikha Yeshua, I became your father through the Good News.
Ndamugave mlinava mwalimu vingi makumi elfu khwa Klisite, mnchila va baba vingi. Ulwa khuva kwa Yesu Klisite ukhugendela ilimenyu.
16 I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
Nikhuvadova mg'ogage une.
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Meshikha, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
Vulevule nasukhile u Timotheo, khuliumwe, vagane vago na mwivana mwivekhe kutwa. khuvakumbusya injila nchago khwa Klisite, nduwunimanyisya khuniipelela.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Lino avange vig'eginia, wovivomba ukhuta sanilincha khulyume.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, 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 Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Ulwa khuva uludeva lwa Nguluve salwiva mumamenyu, wiwa mumakha.
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Mwinogwa khikhi? Ninche khulimwe nulubinki au nulugano, ne numbula iya khisa.
