1 Corinthians 4
1 So a person should consider us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
Christ naseam te le Pathian thuku a keam te bang in, mite in hong ngaisun tahen.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
Tuabek domngawl in neisa keam te sia a thuman mi hi kul hi.
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.
Ahihang note, a hibale mi khat in thu nong khen tu uh sia kei atu in thu nocik hilel hi: keima le keima zong thu ka kikhen bua hi.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Keima thu in bangma ka he bua hi; thutang suasak na ka sang bua hi: ahihang Topa sia keima thukhen a hihi.
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.
Tua ahikom a huncin ma, Topa hongpai dong bangma thukhen heak vun, Topa in khuamial sung ah a ki phual te theampo sia khuavak sung ah hong paipui tu a, thinsung i ngaisutna te zong kilangsak tu hi: taciang mihing khatsim in Pathian i pokna sang tu hi.
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.
Suapui te awng, note in a ki atkholsa thu kantan in midang te ngaisun ngawl in, kote tung pan na sin thei natu uh in, ka neisa hi tekaakna te sia keima le Apollos tung ah ka koi hi; tabang in note sung ah kuama in khat le khat ki langpan in na ki phatsak natu uh a hihi.
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?
Banghangziam cile, nangma sia akua in midang sang in tumdang zaw in hong vawt ziam? taciang na san ngawl bang om ziam? tu in na sang ahile banghang in bangma a sang ngawl bang in ki suangtak ni ziam?
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.
Tu in note na ngil uh va hi, tu in na hau uh hi, kote ki hel ngawl in kumpi te bang in na uk uh hi: taciang kote zong note taw ka uk khop thei natu uh in, na uk takpi tu uh ka dei hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile that tu in ciangtan sa bang in ko sawltak te sia Pathian in a khakbel ah hong koi hi, ci ka ngaisun hi: banghangziam cile kote sia leitung, vantungmi te le mihing te mai ah et tu in hong vawt hi.
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.
Kote sia Christ atu in a mawmaw te ka hi uh hi, ahihang note sia Christ sung ah mipil te na hi uh hi; kote sia ka tha uh neam hi, ahihang note na tha uh hat hi; note sia a zatakhuai te na hi uh hi, ahihang kote sia zawnsak thuak te ka hi uh hi.
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Hi hun dong in kote sia ngilkial, dangtak, pum nguak, sat thuak le om natu meal nei ngawl in ka om uh hi;
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
Koma khut vateak taw na ka seam uh hi: zawnsakna ka thuak uh ciang zong, thupha ka pia uh hi; hong ki vawtsiat ciang zong, ka thuak uh hi:
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
Hong ki sonsiat ciang in, ka thum uh hi: kote sia leitung ah vansia bang in hong vawt uh hi, taciang tuni dongma in munphia na ninteak bang in ka om uh hi.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Note hong maizumsak tu in hi thu te hong at hi ngawl khi hi, ahihang ka it ka tate bang in kidop natu kong pia hi.
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.
Banghangziam cile note in Christ sung ah hilna pia tul sawm nei na hi uh hang, Pa tampi na nei bua uh hi: banghangziam cile Christ Jesus sung ah lungdamna thupha tungtawn in ka nei tate na hi uh hi.
16 I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
Tua ahikom ka nuntak dan hong ette tavun, ci in kong thum hi.
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.
Hi thu hang in ka it le Topa sung ah ka muan ka tapa Timothy sia note kung ah kong paisak hi, ama in mun tatuam a om pawlpi tatuam ah ka hil bang in, Christ sung ah ka nuntakdan te hong hil tu hi.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Tu in note kung ah hongpai ngawl tu bang in mi pawlkhat te kiphasak in om hi.
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.
Ahihang Topa deina a om le a hai ngawl in note kung ah kongpai tu hi, taciang a kiphasak te kam hi zaw ngawl in a vangletna thu ka he zaw tu hi.
20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Banghangziam cile Pathian ngam sia kammal ah hi ngawl in, vangletna sung ah om hi.
21 What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Bang dei nu ziam? note kung ah ciang uai taw hongpai tu khi ziam, a hibale itna le a nunneam thaa taw hongpai zaw tu khi ziam?
