1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man, so, be reckoning of us, as officers of Christ, and stewards of sacred secrets of God.
Sen loong ah ih seng ah Kristo laksuh ngeh ih samthun etheng, o suh Rangte ih amiisak tiit ah husah ni jatthuk ha rah ah.
2 Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards, that, faithful, one be found.
Erah likhiik laksuh rah ih heh changte suh jisiit noisokjih ah langla heh suh tuumaangla tiit ah.
3 With me, however, it counteth for the very smallest thing, that, by you, I should be examined, or by a human day. Nay! I am not even examining myself,
Amadoh, sen ih dande he bah uh, o mina ih dande hang bah uh, tasootsaam kang; ngah ih nga teeteewah botse tadande kang.
4 For, of nothing, to myself, am I conscious: nevertheless, not hereby, am I declared righteous, but, he that doth examine me, is the Lord.
Nga thung abah seklilih, enoothong erah thung ah ih amiidi ngah toongtang ngeh ih tadanjat thukrang. Teesu ih juuba nga jen danjat hang.
5 So then, not before the fitting time, be judging anything, —until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and, then, the praise shall come to each one, from God.
Erah raangtaan ih saapoot maang thok ra doh o uh ladande theng. Teesu maang raara doh ladande theng; Heh ih rangnak ni huthiinha loong ah rangwu nah thoksiit ha eno mina tenthun ah wuusa nah noisok ah. Eno erah doh o mina epun ah warep ah Rangte ih phoongpha eh ah.
6 But, these things, brethren, have I transferred unto myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that, in us, ye might learn [the lesson] —Not beyond the things that are written…! that ye do not puff yourselves up, individually, for this one against that.
Joon awaan loong, sen loong raangtaan ih, Apollo seknyi ih, nyootsok theng toom ang ah ngeh ih reeli tih, eno sen ih arah tiitthaak, [Banlam ah naririh ih kap theng” erah tiimsuh liiha erah toomjat an suh ah. Sen loong ah o damdoh uh lakhuupook theng nyia o uh lakaanju theng.
7 For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst not received it?
Wahoh nang ih elong sen o ih thiik halan? Sen suh tiim jeela erah Rangte in tatam koh tahan? Heh ih kotahan bah, ranglakkot lah angka likhiik ih mamah mi khuupook lu?
8 Already, ye have become full, already, ye are become rich, —apart from us, ye are become kings! And I would indeed ye had become kings, that, we also, with you, might have together become kings!
Sen ih tiim jamhan jirep ah chotam eh tan? Sen changteng tam hoonlan? Seng lah angke bah uh, sen luuwang tam eh hoonlan? Ngah ih uh sen loong ah luuwang eh hoon dobah ese angtheng ta ngeh ih samthun hang, tiimnge liidoh seng uh sen damdoh luuwang ih roonghoon suh ah.
9 For I think that, God, hath set forth, us the apostles, to be last of all, as men devoted to death, —in that, a spectacle, have we been made, unto the world, —both unto messengers and unto men.
Enoothong nga maang kaadi bah Rangte ih seng kaamwah loong abah lithoon ni tongthuk hali, o mongrep rangsah loong nyia mina loong ngathong ni mina etek ih thuksuh kanoisok arah likhiik ah.
10 We, are foolish for Christ’s sake, but, ye, prudent in Christ; we are weak, but, ye, mighty; ye, all-glorious, but, we, dishonoured.
Kristo raang ih bah Seng loong ah thungko; enoothong sen loong ah Kristo mendi jatwah ih hoon lan! Seng loong abah naangtek eli; sen loong ah loochaan! Seng loong ah thaangju ih hali, enoothong sen loong abah choomjoot ih halan!
11 Until the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and are wanderers,
Amadi uh seng bah ramtek khamle angli seng ih nyutu khattu kap hi, seng bah bot ethom ih hali; nokmuh pungmuh thaapnya eno tumkhoomli;
12 And toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we hold on,
Seng mootkaat echaan ni naangti li. Mih ih tam eh hali, seng ih romse tamkoh hi; mih ih siiwi ih hali, seng ih naan ehi;
13 Being defamed, we beseech: as the sweepings of the world have we become, the offscouring of all—until even now.
mih ih thaangju ih hali, jengse ba ngaakra hi. Seng bah amadi uh arah mongrep dowa esot eruh nang eju esot; adoleh esot eruh haat ha hah likhiik ih hoonli!
14 Not, to shame you, write I these things; but, as my beloved children, I admonish you.
Sen suh, ngah ih arah le raanghang ah sen rakrek thuksuh tah raangkang, nga sumi sami ngeh ih sen renbaat suh raanghang.
15 For, though myriads of tutors ye should have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for, in Christ Jesus, through means of the joyful message, I, begat you.
Kristaan roidong doh sen renbaatte hajaat asih je abah uh, sen wah esiit luulu. Tiimnge liidi, Jisu Kristo mendi ngah ih Ruurang Ese tiit ah thok hui hangno sen roidong di sen wah ih hoon lang.
16 I beseech you, therefore, —become imitators of me.
Erah raangtaan ih sen uh nga likhiik eh ang an ngeh ih baatrum hala.
17 For this cause, sent I unto you, Timothy, —who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put, you, in mind of my ways which are in Christ [Jesus], even as, everywhere, in every assembly, I teach.
Erah thoidi sen reeni Timothi wangthuk halang, Kristaan roidong di heh nga laalom theng nyia nga mongnook sah. Nga roidong di Jisu Kristo damdi mamah ih angtang nyia chaas rookwet ni mamah nyootsoot tang erah heh ih samthun thuk han.
18 But, as though I were not coming unto you, some are puffed up!
Sen loong dowa mararah ah khuupook elan nyia ekhat elan sen ih samthun han ngah sen taangnah taheh kadongkhoom korang ngeh ah.
19 Howbeit, I will come quickly unto you, —if, the Lord, please, —and will get to know—not the speech of them who are puffed up, but, the power;
Enoothong Teesu mongtham ang abah ngah kharok ih wanghang, eno engaam ete mina loong jengkhaap luulu lah angthang ih nengchaan nengphaan uh eradoh jat ang.
20 For, not in speech, is the kingdom of God, but, in power.
Tiimnge liidi Rangte Hasong ah jengkhaap ni luulu tah angka hechaan hephaan nep je ah.
21 What will ye? that, with a rod, I should come unto you? or, with love, and a spirit of meekness?
Sen ih marah ah seechoh han? Bot ethom esuh tamwang hang, tam aleh mongnook moong achaang nyia minchan hui wan hang?
