1 Corinthians 4
1 So a person should consider us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
Dadꞌi hei musi tao hai taꞌo ia: afiꞌ koa-koaꞌ hai, huu hai akaꞌ Kristus aten. Ma Lamatualain namahere hai fo minea matalolole dala-dalaꞌ fo dalahulun feꞌe mana maꞌafuniꞌ.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
Naa, atahori mana nanea malanggan sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara, eni musi dadꞌi atahori mana tao tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ.
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.
Ona bee neu au? Au tatao ngga ra tungga ndoo-tetuꞌ a, do hokoꞌ? Au nda taoafiꞌ hei mae nile au taꞌo bee sa boe. Boe ma au nda taoafiꞌ atahori laen ra nile au onaꞌ bee sa boe. Au o nda itaꞌ ae nile ao ngga taꞌo bee sa boe.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
Huu itaꞌ mae rala ngga nae au maloleꞌ, nda feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ sosoan nae au maloleꞌ sa. Te pantin na, Lamatualain nile au onaꞌ bee.
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.
Boe ma, afiꞌ tao ao mara onaꞌ mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat fo nile atahori laen ra. Hela fo Lamatuaꞌ baliꞌ nema dei. Te dei fo Eni mana natudꞌu basa dalaꞌ ra. Eni mana natudꞌu basa dala deꞌulakaꞌ fo atahori raꞌafuniꞌ se sia maꞌahatuꞌ a. Nae natudꞌu dala-dalaꞌ fo atahori dudꞌuꞌa sia rala nara. Boe ma Lamatualain nae nafadꞌe dala-dala maloleꞌ fo atahori taoꞌ ra.
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.
Toronoo nggara! Au ola-olaꞌ soꞌal au o aꞌa Apolos, onaꞌ au fee conto esa fo hei bisa minori dalaꞌ sa mia hai, taꞌo ia: Tao tungga dala-dalaꞌ fo nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren. Afiꞌ tao tungga laen nara fai. Mete ma hei minori dalaꞌ naa, ama sudꞌi boe tungga leli atahori, boe ma olaꞌ naeꞌ huu tungga atahori esa, boe ma miloe-midꞌae laen ra.
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?
Dadꞌi, taꞌo bee? Hei tao ao mara sia ata laen mo laen ra, do? Afiꞌ! Huu hei simbo basaꞌ e, mia Lamatualain. Dadꞌi mete ma taꞌo naa, ona bee de ama koao, onaꞌ hei mesaꞌ nggi mana tao ao mara?
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.
Onaꞌ basaꞌ e fo hei parluꞌ ra, hei hambu ena. Onaꞌ hei mimisuꞌi ena, na! Ama tao ao mara onaꞌ atahori moko-monaen, onaꞌ maneꞌ e, de hai nda mibꞌali saa-saa sa boe. Tao-tao te, Lamatualain fee saa fo ama parluꞌ ra. Te dei fo mete ma hei dadꞌi maneꞌ tetebꞌes, mbei ma hai bisa toꞌu parendaꞌ mo nggi boe, to?
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.
Hai ia ra, Lamatualain mana denu mii sia bee-bꞌee sia raefafoꞌ ia, fo mifadꞌe atahori soꞌal Kristus. Te lao-lao esa na, au duꞌa onaꞌ Lamatualain denu hai mimbiriiꞌ sia dea-deaꞌ, onaꞌ atahori bui mana nahani sira huku-doki mamate nara. Boe ma Ana fee basa atahori sia raefafoꞌ ia, ma ate nara sia sorga, fo ara ranilu nggita.
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.
Hei manaseliꞌ tebꞌe ena! Huu hambu atahori rae hei ia ra, mahineꞌ, huu ama nenepaꞌaꞌ mo Kristus ena. Te ara rae hai ia ra nggoa mara seli, huu hai dadꞌi Kristus atahorin. Mbei ma ara duꞌa rae hei maꞌadꞌere mara seli tebꞌe ena. Te hai ia ra, mana male-maꞌaꞌ. Mbei ma ara soꞌu rananaru nggi. Te ara nda fee hadꞌa-hormat mbei neu hai saa boe. Manaseliꞌ ri tebꞌe!
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
Losa leleꞌ ia o, hai mimedꞌa ndoe ma miꞌimadꞌa. Hai bua-baꞌu mara mana sidꞌe-sidꞌeꞌ re. Atahori ra akaꞌ poko-paru hai. Hai onaꞌ mana tara-kooꞌ nda ma ume looꞌ sa.
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
Hai bengge tao ues mendi lima mara. Mete ma atahori olaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ mbali hai, hai mitaa mae, “Hai moꞌe Lamatualain tao dala maloleꞌ fee nggi.” Mete ma atahori tao raꞌasususaꞌ hai, na, hela neu fo hai miꞌitataaꞌ a.
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
Mete ma atahori olaꞌ raꞌamuti hai nara mara, hai olaꞌ mo se no dedꞌea-oꞌola seꞌe-naꞌus. Mae onaꞌ naa o, atahori feꞌe rae hai ia ra onaꞌ seeꞌ, do manggarauꞌ manggenggeoꞌ, nandaa ngganggariꞌ ri.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Au suraꞌ dalaꞌ ia ra, nda ae tao uꞌumamaeꞌ nggi sa. Te au ae ena-ai nggi, huu au sue nggi onaꞌ sue ana bonggi ngga boe. Naeni de au ufadꞌe nggi, fo tungga baliꞌ dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a.
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.
Mae hambu atahori rifo-rataꞌ bisa ratudꞌu nggi dalaꞌ soꞌal Kristus, te akaꞌ au mesaꞌ nggo mana dadꞌi hei amam. Huu au ia, atahori maꞌahuluꞌ mana ufadꞌe nggi soꞌal Yesus Kristus Dudꞌui Malolen. Naeni de ama mimihere neu E. Au tao taꞌo naa, huu au nenepaꞌa maloleꞌ o E.
16 I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
De oꞌe fo ama tungga no maloleꞌ au conto ngga.
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.
Naeni de au haitua Timotius fo tulu-fali nggi. Au sue e onaꞌ sue au ana bonggi ngga boe. Au umuhere e, huu ana o nenepaꞌaꞌ no hita Lamatuan boe. Dei fo ana tulu-fali fo fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ au dala masodꞌa ngga neu nggi. Au masodꞌa ngga onaꞌ naa huu au nenepaꞌaꞌ o Yesus Kristus, fo Lamatualain haitua nemaꞌ a. Boe ma naa onaꞌ saa fo au unori neu atahori saraniꞌ mana raꞌabꞌue sia bee-bꞌee.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Hambu sia hei e dudꞌuꞌa mae, au nda dadꞌi eti sia naa sa. Naeni de ara koao.
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.
Te mete ma hita Lamatuan nau, na nda dooꞌ sa, te au eti sia kota Korintus ena. Dei fo au bubꞌuluꞌ memaꞌ, mete ma atahori ia ra akaꞌ olaꞌ naeꞌ a, do tebꞌe raꞌena koasa!
20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Huu Lamatualain, Maneꞌ mana naꞌena koasa. De atahori nara nda maa mina fo rafefela atahori nemehere nara sa, te rafefela rendiꞌ koasa ndoo-tetuꞌ a.
21 What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
De hihii-nanau mara taꞌo bee? Mete ma au uma, na, au olaꞌ no deres ma hukun nggi, do? Do uma utudꞌu susueꞌ no rala seꞌe-naꞌus ngga?
