1 Corinthians 4
1 So a person should consider us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
Wayi akon wa indi nito ta di ki mirko kristi wa ki tidun mai janji u Rji.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they 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 by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I do not judge my 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 against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who 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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
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 to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, 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 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
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 entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
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 do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
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 you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
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 I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
Anaki me yo yi du yi ti na wa mi ti'a.
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 Christ, even as I teach everywhere 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 were not coming 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 is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who 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, but in power.
Mulki Rji a na tre mege ni sai ni gbl-gble tou yeyer.
21 What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Biwagye? me ye niyi ni kpalla koni ruhu Irji.
