1 Corinthians 16
1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
Houjik, Tengban Mapugi misingbu mateng pangnabagidamak sel khaigatpagi maramdadi, eina Galatia-gi singlupsingda tounanaba haikhiba adumak nakhoinasu tou.
2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
Eina lakpa matamda sel amuk khaigatnaba haibadu amuk mathou tadanaba chayolgi ahanba numit khudinggi nakhoi khudingmakna nakhoigi senthokki chang matung inna saruk khara khaidoklaga madu tungsinduna thamlamsanu.
3 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
Aduga eina laklaba matungda nakhoina yaba makhoising aduda eina saktakpagi chitthi pigani aduga nakhoigi khudol adu thinnaba makhoibu Jerusalem-da thagani.
4 And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
Aduga eisu chatpada phagadaba oirabadi makhoisu eiga loinana chatkani.
5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
Aduga eina Mecedonia phaoduna chatlaba tungda eina nakhoigi nanakta lakkani maramdi eina Macedonia phaoduna chatkadouri.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
Eina nakhoiga loinana matam khara leiminnaraba yai nattraga ningthamtha chuppa leiminnabasu yai. Adum tourabadi nakhoina eigi khongchatta, eina chatpa mapham khudingmakta nakhoina mateng pangba ngamgani.
7 I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
Eina houjik lamkhangda nakhoibu unaba eina pamde; Ibungona yabirabadi eina nakhoiga loinana matam khara sangna leiminnanaba asha toujei.
8 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
Eina Ephesus-ta Pentecost-ki numit phaoba leigani.
9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
Maramdi mapham asida eigi maiyokta leiba mi kaya leirabasu achouba amadi mahei yanba thabak tounabagi thong ama eingonda hangdokpire.
10 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
Aduga karigumba Timothy-na nakhoigi lambida laklabadi mahakna nakhoiga leiminnaringeida akiba karisu leitanaba mabu yengsinbiyu. Maramdi mahaksu eigumna Ibungogidamak thougal toujariba amani.
11 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
Aduga kana amatana mahakpu hanthana yengdasanu. Adubu mahakna eigi inakta amuk hallaknaba mahakki khongchat aduda mahakpu ingthana thabirak-u. Maramdi mahakna thajaba ichil-inao ateisingga loinana hallakpa adu eina asa toujei.
12 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
Houjik ichil inao Apollos-gi maramda hairagadi, eina tattana mangonda, thajaba ichil-inao ateisingga loinana nakhoigi nanakta chatnanaba kanna haijabani, adubu houjikki oinadi mahak chatningdri. Adumakpu khudongchaba phangbada mahakna chatkani.
13 Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
Mitseng khang-u, thajabada chetna leppu, thouna phou amasung kallu.
14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
Nakhoina touba khudingmak nungsibaga loinana tou.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
Nakhoina Stephanas amadi mahakki imung-manunggi maramda khang-i. Achaia-gi ahanba Christian oikhibasingdu makhoini. Aduga makhoina Tengban Mapugi misinggi thougalda masa katthokchare. Nungsijaraba ichil-inaosing, eina nakhoida haijari,
16 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
nakhoina makhoi asigumbasing amadi thabak suminnariba pumnamak amadi masida kanna nomlibasinggi makha pollu.
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
Aduga Stephanas, Fortunatus, amadi Achaicus-na mapham asida lakpagidamak eina haraojei maramdi nakhoi leitabagi awatpa adu makhoina mensinbire.
18 They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
Aduga makhoina nakhoigi thawai tekkhat-hanbiba adugumna makhoina eigi thawaibusu tekkhat-hanbire. Asigumba mising asibu sakkhangbiba matik chai.
19 The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
Asia-da leiriba singlupsingna nakhoibu khurumjari. Aquila amadi Priscilla aduga makhoigi yumda tinnariba singlupna nakhoibu Ibungoda taramna khurumjari.
20 All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Aduga mapham asida leiriba ichil-inao pumnamakna nakhoibu khurumjari. Asengba chupnaba aduga loinana amaga amaga khurumnou.
21 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
Paul, eina, isamakki khutna khurumjaba asi ijari.
22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
Ibungobu nungsidaba mahak adu sirap phangsanu! Marana tha--Lengbiraklo, eikhoigi Ibungo!
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
Ibungo Jisugi thoujalna nakhoiga loinabisanu.
24 I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Christta Jisuda leiba nakhoi pumnamakki mathakta eigi nungsibana loinabisanu.
