1 Corinthians 3
1 My fellow believers, [when I was with you previously], I was not able to teach you as [I would teach people who are controlled by the Holy] Spirit {[whom the Holy] Spirit [controls]}. Instead, [I had to teach you as I would teach] people whom their self-directed nature controls. [I taught very simple concepts to you who had recently believed] in Christ, [as a parent would speak very simple words] to a baby.
ଏ ବାୟ୍ବେଣିମଃନ୍, ମୁଁୟ୍ ଆତ୍ମାର୍ ମଃନାର୍ ଲକ୍ମଃନ୍କେ କୟ୍ଲା ହର୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ କଃଉ ନଃହାର୍ଲେ, ମଃତର୍ ଗଃଗାଳାର୍ ଲକ୍ମଃନ୍କେ ଆର୍ କ୍ରିସ୍ଟର୍ ତଃୟ୍, ବିସ୍ୱାସାର୍ ହିଲାମଃନ୍କେ କୟ୍ଲା ହର୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ କୟ୍ଲେ ।
2 I did not [teach] you [things that were difficult for you to understand, just like a woman does not] give [her baby] solid food [that the baby cannot chew and digest]. [And just like a woman] ([gives her baby milk/breast-feeds her baby]), [I taught you simple spiritual concepts], because at that time you were not able to understand difficult things. And you are still not able to understand difficult concepts,
ମୁଁୟ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ଦୁଦ୍ ସୁରାୟ୍ ବିନ୍ କାଦି ନଃଦିଲେ, କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ସେରି ସୁରୁକ୍ ସଃକ୍ତିନଃରିଲି ଆର୍ ଅଃବେ ହେଁ ସଃକାତ୍ ନଃଉଆସ୍ ।
3 because you are still controlled by your self-directed nature. Some of you are jealous and quarreling. (That shows that your self-directed nature is controlling you!/Does not that prove your self-directed nature is controlling you?) [RHQ] It shows that [you are acting like] unbelievers act.
ସେତାକ୍, ଅଃବେ ହଃତେକ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ଜଃଗତାର୍ ଲକ୍ହର୍ ଜିଉଁଲାସ୍ । କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ଜଃଡ୍ବଃଳ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କାର୍ ବିତ୍ରେ ରିସା ଆର୍ ମାଡ୍ଗଳ୍ ଆଚେ, ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ କାୟ୍ ଜଃଗତାର୍ ମାନାୟ୍ ନାୟ୍ ଆର୍ ମାନାୟ୍ର୍ ବାବ୍ ହଃର୍କାରେ ଚାଲ୍ଚାଲ୍ତି ନଃକେରାସ୍?
4 By some of you saying, “I am [loyal to] Paul,” and others saying, “I am [loyal to] Apollos,” (you show that [you are acting like] unbelievers./does not it show that [you are acting like] unbelievers?) [RHQ]
ଜୁୟ୍ତାକ୍ ଜଃଡ୍ବଃଳ୍ ଗଟ୍ଲକ୍ କୟ୍ଦ୍, “ମୁଁୟ୍ ପାଉଲାର୍” ଆରେକ୍ ଏକ୍ଲା କୟ୍ଦ୍ “ମୁୟ୍ଁ ଆପଲାର୍,” ତଃବେ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଆତ୍ମା ନଃହାୟ୍ଲା ଲକ୍ମଃନାର୍ ହର୍ ନୟ୍କି?
5 [So what you really ought to think about] Apollos and me [RHQ] is that we(dl) are merely men who serve God. As a result of our [telling you the message about Christ], you trusted in him. Both of us [(dl)] are merely doing the work that the Lord appointed us to do.
ପାଉଲ୍ କେ ଆର୍ ଆପଲ୍ କେ? ସେମଃନ୍ତ ସେବାକାରି ମଃନ୍, ଜୁୟ୍ମଃନାର୍ କଃରୁକେ ହଃତିଲକେ ମାପ୍ରୁ ଜଃନ୍କଃରି ଦଃୟ୍ ଆଚେ, ସେହଃର୍କାରେ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ସଃତ୍ କଃରିଆଚାସ୍ ।
6 I was [the first one who preached God’s message to you. I was like] [MET] someone who plants seeds. [Later], Apollos [taught you more of God’s message. That was like] [MET] someone who waters plants [after they start to grow]. But it is God who [enables people to grow spiritually, just like he is the one who] causes [plants] to grow.
ମୁଁୟ୍ ଲାଗାୟ୍ ଆଚି, ଆପଲ୍ ହାଣି ରଃକାୟ୍ ଆଚେ, ମଃତର୍ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ବାଡାୟ୍ ଆଚେ ।
7 So [the person who first preaches God’s message to people is not important, and the person who later teaches people more of God’s message is not important, just like] [MET] it is not the person who plants [the seeds] or the person who waters [the plants] who is important. Instead, it is God, who causes plants to grow [and who causes people to grow spiritually, who is important].
ତଃବେ, ଜେ ରୟ୍ଦ୍ କି ଜେ ହାଣି ରଃକାୟ୍ଦ୍, ସେ ବଃଡ୍ ନାୟ୍ ମଃତର୍ ବାଡାୟ୍ଦ୍ ଜୁୟ୍ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ସେ ବଃଳ୍ ।
8 The person [who first preaches God’s message to people and the one who later teaches them more of God’s message] [MET] both (are [trying to reach the] same [goal]/have the same [purpose]). And [God] will reward each of them according to how they served him.
ଜେ ରୟ୍ଦ୍ ଆର୍ ଜେ ହାଣି ଚିଚେଦ୍, ସେ ଦୁୟ୍ଲକ୍ ଏକ୍, କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ହଃତିଲକ୍କେ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ନିଜାର୍ କଃବାଳ୍ ହଃର୍କାରେ ପୁରିସ୍କାର୍ ଦଃୟ୍ଦ୍ ।
9 Remember that Apollos and I are both working together for God. [You do not belong to us]. Just like a field [belongs to its owner, not to those who work in it], you belong to God, [not to us who work for him]. 1 Corinthians 3:9b-15 Also, a house belongs to its owner. [It does not belong to the man who built it. Similarly, God is the one to whom you belong].
କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ଅଃମିମଃନ୍ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ସଃଙ୍ଗ୍ କାମ୍ କଃରୁଲୁ । ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ତାସ୍ହଃଦା ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଗଃର୍ ।
10 [Just like] a skilled person puts a foundation in the ground [before he builds a house], as a result of God kindly helping me [MET], [I was the first one who declared the message about Christ to you. And, just like] others build a house on its foundation, there were [others who later taught you more about Christ]. But [just like each person who builds a house] must be careful about what materials he uses to build it [MET], each person [who teaches God’s truth must be careful about what he teaches].
ମକେ ଦିଆଅୟ୍ଲା ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଦଃୟା ହଃର୍କାରେ ମୁୟ୍ଁ ଗଟ୍ ବୁଦିରିଲା ଗଃର୍ ବାନ୍ଦୁହର୍ କୁନାଦି ହଃକାୟ୍ ଆଚି, ବିନ୍ଲକ୍ ତାର୍ ଉହ୍ରେ ବାନ୍ଦୁଲା । ମଃତର୍ ହଃତିଲକ୍ ସେତାର୍ ଉହ୍ରେ କଃନ୍କଃରି ବାନ୍ଦ୍ଲାୟ୍, ସେ କଃତାୟ୍ ଜଃଗ୍ରାତ୍ ଅଃଉଆ ।
11 Just like people can put in [only] one foundation [for a house] [MET], [there is only one message that we can give to people. That message is about] Jesus Christ.
କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ଜୁୟ୍ କୁନାଦି କଃରିଆଚେ ସେରି ଚାଡିକଃରି ବିନ୍ କୁନାଦି କେ ହେଁ ହଃକାଉଁ ନାହାରେ ସେ କୁନାଦି ଜିସୁ କ୍ରିସ୍ଟ ।
12 Furthermore, people can build a house on its foundation [with materials that are valuable and do not burn easily, such as] gold, silver, and expensive jewels. Or they could build a house with [materials that are not valuable and that burn easily, such as] wood, hay, and straw.
ମଃତର୍ କଃତେକ୍ ଲକ୍ ସେ କୁନାଦି ଉହ୍ରେ ସନା, ରୁହା, ବଡେମଲାର୍ ଟେଳା ଗଃର୍ ବାନ୍ଦ୍ତି । ଆରେକ୍ କଃତେକ୍ ଲକ୍ ଗଃଚ୍, ରଃନ୍ କି ହିରି ସଃଙ୍ଗ୍ ତିଆର୍ କଃର୍ତି ।
13 Later it will become clear/evident what kind of material they used to build the house. [Similarly, when people teach others God’s truth], it will later become clear [what kind of things they taught]. [God] will make that clear/evident at the time [when he judges us] [MTY].
ତଃନ୍ଅଲେ ହଃତିଲକାର୍ କାମ୍ କଃନ୍କାର୍, ସେରି ଜାଣାହଃଳେଦ୍, ବଃଲେକ୍ କ୍ରିସ୍ଟ ଆରେକ୍ ଆସ୍ତା ଦିନ୍ ସେରି ଦଃକାୟ୍ଦ୍, ବଃଲେକ୍ ସେଦିନ୍ ଅଃମାର୍ କାମ୍ ଜୟ୍ ସଃଙ୍ଗ୍ ଦଃକାୟ୍ ଅୟ୍ଦ୍, ଆର୍ ହଃତି ଲକାର୍ କାମ୍ କଃନ୍କାର୍, ସେ ଜୟ୍ ପରିକ୍ୟା କଃରେଦ୍ ।
14 When a fire [starts burning a house], it becomes clear whether the builders used [materials in their] work [that will burn, or materials that will not burn]. Similarly [MET], when God judges us, it will be clear whether we taught others things that were long-lasting and valuable or not. If [the materials that are used to] build a house [are materials that] do not burn, the builder will receive a reward [MET]. [Similarly, if we have taught others things that are valuable and long-lasting, God will give us a reward].
ଜେ ଜାୟ୍ରି କୁନାଦି ଉହ୍ରେ ଗଃଳି ଆଚେ, ତାର୍ ସେ କାମ୍ ଜଦି ରଃୟ୍ଦ୍, ତଃବେ ସେ ପୁରିସ୍କାର୍ ହାୟ୍ଦ୍ ।
15 If [the things that we have taught] are not valuable and long-lasting [MET], [we will not get a reward]. We will be saved {[God] will save us} [from hell], but [that is all that we will get. We will be like a man who] escapes from a fire [without saving any of his possessions]. (questioned)
ଜଦି କାର୍ କାମ୍ ହଡିଜାୟ୍ଦ୍, ସେ ପୁରିସ୍କାର୍ ନଃହାୟ୍, ଅୟ୍ଲେକ୍ ହେଁ ସେ ନିଜେ, ସେରି ଜୟ୍ ବିତ୍ରେ ଗଃଲାହର୍ ଅୟ୍ ମୁକ୍ଳେଦ୍ ।
16 You need to remember that God [is present among] you [(pl) as he was present in the] Temple [in Jerusalem]. [RHQ] God’s Spirit lives within you.
ତୁମିମଃନ୍ କାୟ୍ ନଃଜାଣାସ୍? ତୁମିମଃନ୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ମନ୍ଦିର୍, ଆର୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଆତ୍ମା ତୁମିମଃନ୍କାର୍ ବିତ୍ରେ ବାସା କଃରେଦ୍ ।
17 So, [just like] God will destroy anyone who tries to destroy his Temple, [he will destroy anyone who destroys the unity of a congregation. He will do that] because [he has set] you, [his people, apart for himself, just like he set] his Temple [apart for himself].
ଜଦି କୁୟ୍ ଲକ୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ମନ୍ଦିର୍କେ ନଃସ୍ଟ୍ କଃରେଦ୍, ତବେ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ତାକେ ନଃସ୍ଟ୍ କଃରେଦ୍; କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ମନ୍ଦିର୍ ପବିତ୍ର, ସେ ମନ୍ଦିର୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍ ।
18 Some among you think that you are wise because unbelievers thought you were wise previously. Stop deceiving yourselves. [If you really want to be wise, by accepting what God considers to be wise] you should [be willing to let unbelievers consider that you are] foolish [IRO]. (aiōn g165)
କେ ଅଃହ୍ଣାକ୍ ନଃଟକ । ଜଦି କୁୟ୍ଲକ୍ ଇ ଜଃଗତାର୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କାର୍ ବିତ୍ରେ ଅଃହ୍ଣାକ୍ ଗିଆନି ବଃଲି ବାବେଦ୍, ତଃବେ ସେ ଜଃନ୍କଃରି ଗିଆନି ଅଃଉଁ ହାରେ, ଇତାର୍ ଗିନେ ସେ ବଃକୁଆ ହର୍ ଅଃଉଅ । (aiōn g165)
19 You should do that because things that unbelievers [consider to be] [IRO] wise, God considers to be foolish. [We can learn from] the Scriptures [what God says about] that: Those who think that they are [IRO] wise, he messes up their plans by the mistakes they make!
କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ଇ ଜଃଗତାର୍ ଗିଆନ୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ତଃୟ୍ ବଃକୁଆରି । ସାସ୍ତରେ ଲେକାଆଚେ, “ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ଗ୍ୟାନିମଃନ୍କ୍ ସେମଃନାର୍ ଚାଲାକିତଃୟ୍ ଦଃରେଦ୍ ।”
20 And [we can learn from] these words of Scripture, The Lord considers as useless the thoughts of [humans who think that they are] [IRO] wise.
ଆରେକ୍ ହେଁ ସାସ୍ତରେ ଲେକାଆଚେ, “ଗ୍ୟାନିମଃନାର୍ କଃତା କାଟାକାଟି ଅଃସାର୍ ବଃଲି ମାପ୍ରୁ ଜାଣୁଲା ।”
21 So, stop boasting about [how good one Christian leader is or how good another Christian leader is]. All [of us(exc) exist as leaders only to help] you!
ମୁଳ୍କଃରି ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ସଃବୁ କଃତାର୍ ଅଃଦିକାରି । ସେତାକ୍, କେ ମାନାୟ୍ କଃଲା କାମ୍କେ ଗଃର୍ବ୍ ନଃକେର ।
22 Specifically, do not boast about me, or about Apollos, or about Peter! Everything in the world exists to [benefit] you [believers]. Whether you live or whether you die, the things that are happening now or the things that will happen in the future, they are all to benefit you.
ପାଉଲ୍ ବଃଲା କି ଆପଲ୍ ବଃଲା କି ପିତର୍ କଃଉଆ, ଜଃଗତ୍ କଃଉଆ କି ଜିବନ୍ କଃଉଆ କି ମଃର୍ନ୍ କଃଉଆ, ଅଃବାର୍ କଃତା କଃଉଆ କି ଗଃଟ୍ତା କଃତା ସଃବୁ ହେଁ ତୁମାର୍ ।
23 [You should boast about] Christ, [not about your leaders, because] you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
ମଃତର୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍ କ୍ରିସ୍ଟର୍, ଆର୍ କ୍ରିସ୍ଟ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ।
