1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Vulevule pepene umuunhu ikutuvalila usue, avavimbi va Kilisite kange vimilili va vusyefu vwa lweli uvwa Nguluve.
2 Here moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Mu ulu, kino kilondua ku vwimilili kwekuuti vavisaghe vakuhuvilua.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human tribunal; nay, I do not even judge myself;
Looli kulyune une kiinu kidebe kyongo kuva muhighua numue nambe uluhighilo lwa kimuunhu. Ulwakuuva nanikuhigha nambe june nemwene.
4 for though I am conscious to myself of nothing wrong, yet not by this am I cleared of blame; but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
Nanikuhigha june namwene, uluo nakwekuuti une june nanilighwa kyang'haani. Ghwa Mutwa juno ikuhigha.
5 So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of men's hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God.
Pa uluo, namungajovaghe uluhighilo ku sooni ija n'siki naghufikile, ghwakwisa u Mutwa juno. Juno ikuvavika pavuvalafu ghooni ghano gha fisime ku ng'iisi nakufwikula uludonya lwa mwojo. Apuo umuunhu ghweni ikwupilagha ulughinio lwamwene kuhuma kwa Nguluve.
6 And these things, brethren, I have transferred in a figure to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us ye may learn not to go beyond what is written, that no one of you may pride himself in one against another.
Lino, vakulu vango numue vamwanilumbu vango, june nemwene nu Apolo nivingilila uvutavike uvu vwimila umue. Ulwakuuti kuhuma kulyusue luvanoghile kumanyila kulyumue ifyovele kwekuuti kiki, “Ulakilililagha kukila ndavule kilembilue.” Ulu kwekuuti nakwale nambe jumo kulyumue ughwa kughinia kukiila ujunge.
7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? But if thou didst receive it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?
Ulwakuuva ghweni juno juno ipungilanila kulola nu junge? Kyekinukiki kino UKlinakyo nukakyupilile vuvule? Nave umalile kukwupila vuvule, kiki mukughinia nave fye mukavombile vuvule?
8 Already ye are full; already ye are rich; without us ye have become kings; and I would indeed ye were kings, that we also might reign with you.
Lukwiline mulinafyo fyooni fino muvela mulonda! Lukwiline mulinuvumofu! Mutengwile kutema- ulwakuuti muhalile kukila usue! Looli nikuvasumila uvuhasi uvunofu ulwakuuti tuhalaghe palikimo numue.
9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles as lowest, as men sentenced to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.
Pa uluo nisagha u Nguluve atuvikile usue vasung'ua heene ikutusona vavusilile mulukindi lwa maandamano na ku vaanhu vano vahighilue kubudua. Tulindavule ulusejo lwa iisi, kuvanyamola na muvaanhu.
10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are in honor, but we are despised.
Usue tulivayasu vwimila vwa Kilidite, looli umue mulivanyaluhala mwa Kilisite. Tulivavotevote, looli umue muliningufu. Mukwoghopua, looli usue tusyojolivua.
11 Even to this very hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place,
Nambe unsiki ughu tulininjala ni kyumilua, tughajile amenda, tulinimumuko, kange tulisila pakukala.
12 and labor, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;
Tuvomba imbombo ningufu, namavoko ghitu jusue. Pano tusyojolua, tufunya. Unsinki ghuno tupumusivua, tukuguda.
13 being slandered, we exhort; we have become as the filth of the world, the off-scouring of all things until now.
Pano tulighwa, tukwamula nuvuhugu. Kwetule, kange tujighe tuvalilua kuuva heene tukanilue ni iisi na makakala ku ghooni.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but I am warning you as my beloved children.
Nanilemba agha ghooni ulwakuuti nivapelele u sooni umue, looli kukuvaghumbatila umue heene vanha vango vano nivaghanile.
15 For though ye have ten thousand teachers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begot you through the gospel.
Nambe kuuti mulivavulanisi ifijigho fya mbilima mwa kilisite, musila va Nhaata viinga. Ulwakuuva nili Nhata ghwinu mwa Yesu Kilisite kukilila ilivangili.
16 I exhort you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
Pa uluo nikuvapelepesia munyighaghe une.
17 For this end I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord, who will put you in mind of my ways in Christ, according as I teach everywhere in every church.
Apuo fyenambe nikamwomwile kulyumue u Timotheo, vaghanike vango kange mwaana mfwihu kwa Mutwa. Ikuvakumbusiagha isila sango mwa Kilisite, ndavule nivulanisivue poni naku ng'ong'ano soni.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Lino vamonga mulyumue vukughinia, vivomba hene nanilikwisa mulyumue.
19 But I shall come to you shortly, if it be the Lord's will, and will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power;
Looli nikwisa kulyumue linolino, nave u Mutwa angakele. Apuo pe nilikagula na ghe masio ghavanave vanovikughinia, looli nililolagha ingufu sivanave.
20 for the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Ulwakuva uvutua vwa Nguluve navuva mumasio looli mu ngufu. Mulonda kiki?
21 What will ye? Am I to come to you with a rod, or in love, and the spirit of mildness?
Nise kulyumue nulugudo nakuuva nulughano namunumbula ijavulugu?
