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.
ଅ ବୟାଁ ବାରି ତନାଇଂ ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ଆତ୍ମା ଲେଃକ୍ନେ ରେମୁଆଁଇଂନେ ଏତେ ବାଲିର୍ବାତା ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କ୍ନେ ରକମ୍ ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ପେ ଏତେ ବାଲିର୍ବାତା ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ ନେଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କେ ଣ୍ତୁ । ମାତର୍ ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆପେକେ ଏନ୍ ମଞ୍ଚ୍ପୁର୍ନେ ରେମୁଆଁ ବାରି କ୍ରିସ୍ଟିୟ ବିସ୍ବାସ୍ରେ ଚିର୍ଲାଅ ମନେ ଏତେଚେ ସାମୁଆଁ ବାସଙ୍ଗ୍ମ୍ୱକେ ।
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,
ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆପେକେ ତ୍ରାଃଡ଼ିଆ ଆଉଗ୍ଚେ ବିନ୍ ବଲେ ନାବିକେ ଣ୍ତୁ ଡାଗ୍ଲା ପେଇଂ ଆତେନ୍ ନ୍ସା ଇକ୍ଚା ପେଡିଂକେ ଣ୍ତୁ ବାରି ଏବେ ଡିଗ୍ ଇକ୍ଚା ପେଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କେ ଣ୍ତୁ
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.
ଏବେ ଡିଗ୍ ପେ ସାଂସାରିକ ରେମୁଆଁଇଂନେ ସୁଗୁଆ ବ୍ରୁଆ ଡିଂକେ ପେଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କେ । ପେ ବିତ୍ରେ ରିସା ବାରି ନେଃନେ ବିତ୍ରେ ୱିଙ୍ଗ୍ଆଃରିଂଆଃ ଲାଗେ ଲେଃକେ । ଆକ୍ବାନ୍ ମେଁନେ ପେ ଗାଗ୍ଡ଼େନେ ବାରି ସାଂସାରିକ ଡାଗ୍ଚେ ପର୍ମାନ୍ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ପେଡିଙ୍ଗ୍?
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]
ପେ ବିତ୍ରେବାନ୍ ଜାଡିଗ୍ ଉଡ଼ିବେଲା ବାସଙ୍ଗ୍ଏ ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ପାଉଲ୍ନେ ବାରି ଜାଣ୍ଡେ ବାସଙ୍ଗ୍ଆର୍ଏ, ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ପାଉଲ୍ଇଂନେ ବାରି ଜାଣ୍ଡେ ବାସଙ୍ଗ୍ଆର୍ଏ ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆପଲ୍ଲଇଂନେ ଆତେନ୍ ବେଲା ମେଁନେ ପେଇଂ ସାଂସାରିକ ରେମୁଆଁଇଂନେ ସୁଗୁଆ ବେବଆର୍ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ ପେଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କେ?
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.
ଆପଲ୍ଲ ଜାଣ୍ଡେ? ବା ପାଉଲ୍ ଜାଣ୍ଡେ? ନେ ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ସେବାରେ ମାତର୍ ଆପେକେ ବିସ୍ବାସ୍ ଆଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ନେସା ନେ ସାଇଜ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ନେଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କେ । ଇସ୍ପର୍ ନେନେ ବିତ୍ରେବାନ୍ ସାପାରେକେ ଆଣ୍ଡିନେ ସ୍ଲେନିଆ ସ୍ରି ବକେ, ନେ ଆତେନ୍ କାମ୍ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ନେବକେ ।
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.
ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ଉଂମ୍ୱକେ ବାରି ଆପଲ୍ଲ ଆତ୍ଅରିଆ ଣ୍ଡିଆ କିଗ୍ ବକେ ମାତର୍ ଇସ୍ପର୍ ଆମ୍ନା ବକେ ।
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].
ତେସା ସ୍ଲା ଉଂଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ ବାରି ଣ୍ଡିଆ ବିଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ, ମେଃଡିଗ୍ ଣ୍ତୁ, ମାତର୍ ସ୍ଲାକେ ଆମ୍ନାଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ ପୁରନ୍ କର୍ତା ଇସ୍ପର୍, ସାପାବାନ୍ ସାପା ।
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.
ଜା ଉଂଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ ବାରି ଣ୍ଡିଆ ବିଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ ବିତ୍ରେ ମେଃଡିଗ୍ ବିନେ ଣ୍ଡୁ । ନିଜର୍ ନିଜର୍ନେ କସ୍ଟ ଇସାବ୍ରେ ଇସ୍ପର୍ ଆମେଇଂକେ ପୁରୁସ୍କାର୍ ବିଏ ।
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].
ଡାଗ୍ଲା ନେ ଇସ୍ପର୍ ଏତେ କୁଡ଼େଚେ ସ୍ଲେରେ; ପେ ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ଲିଜ ବାରି ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ଡୁଆ ।
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].
ଇସ୍ପର୍ ବିଃକ୍ନେ ଲିବିସ ସୁଗୁଆ ମୁଇଙ୍ଗ୍ ଡାଟ୍ ଆରେଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ ବାବ୍ରେ ନେଙ୍ଗ୍ ମୁଲ୍ ପାଣ୍ଡୁସନ୍ ତ୍ଲାଗ୍ମ୍ବକେ । ବିନ୍ ମୁଇଂଜା ଏନ୍ ପାଣ୍ତୁସନ୍ ଆଡ଼ାତ୍ରା ଆଃରେ ମ୍ୱକେ । ମାତର୍ ଆଃରେକ୍ନେ ବେଲା ନେ ସାପାରେ ତରକ୍ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ନେ ଦର୍କାର୍
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.
ମେଃଡାଗ୍ଲା ଇସ୍ପର୍ ଜିସୁ କିସ୍ଟକେ ମୁଇଙ୍ଗ୍ ମାତର୍ ମୁଲ୍ ପାଣ୍ଡୁସନ୍ ଆଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ଚେ ଆଃରେ ବକେ; ଆମେକେ ଆନ୍ତାର୍ଚେ ମେଁ ଡିଗ୍ ମୁଲ୍ ପାଣ୍ଡୁସନ୍ ତିଆର୍ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ ଆୟା ଆର୍ଏ ଣ୍ତୁ ।
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.

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].

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].

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)

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.
ପେ ବଲ୍ ବାବ୍ରେ ମ୍ୟାପେଲେଃକେ ଜେ ପେଇଂ ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ମନ୍ଦିର୍ ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ଆତ୍ମା ପେଇଂନେ ଉର୍ଦେନ୍ନିଆ ବାସା ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍କେ ।
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].
ଜା ଜଦି ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ମନ୍ଦିର୍କେ ନସ୍ଟ ଆଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ଏ ଇସ୍ପର୍ ଆମେକେ ନସ୍ଟ ଆଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ଏ । ମେଁ ଡାଗ୍ଲା ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ମନ୍ଦିର୍ ପବିତ୍ର ବାରି ପେ ଆତେନ୍ ମନ୍ଦିର୍ ।
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)
ଜା ଡିଗ୍ ନିଜେକେ ଆନାଲେଲେ । ପେ ବିତ୍ରେବାନ୍ ଜା ଜଦି ନିଜେକେ ସଂସାର୍ନେ ବିସୟ୍ରେ ଜ୍ଞାନି ଡାଗ୍ଚେ ବାବେଏ ସତ୍ ଜ୍ଞାନ୍ ବାନେସା ଆମେକେ ଆମ୍ୟାଃକେ ସୁଗୁଆ ଡିଙ୍ଗ୍ନେ ପଡ଼େଏ (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!
ମେଃଡାଗ୍ଲା ଏନ୍ ମଞ୍ଚ୍ପୁର୍ ଇସାବ୍ରେ ମେଁନେ ଗିଆନ୍ ଆତେନ୍ ଇସ୍ପର୍ନେ ସାମ୍ନାରେ । ବାରି ମୁଇଂତର୍ ଦର୍ମ ସାସ୍ତର୍ନ୍ନିଆ ଗୁଆର୍ ବକେ: “ଇସ୍ପର୍ ଜ୍ଞାନି ରେମୁଆଁଇଂକେ ମେଁଇଙ୍ଗ୍ନେ ନୁଆଁ ନୁଆଁଚେ ସାଃମ୍ୟାକେ ।”
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.
ବାରି “ମାପ୍ରୁ ମ୍ୟାଆଲେଃକେ ଜେ ଜ୍ଞାନି ରେମୁଆଁଇଂନେ ଚିନ୍ତା ବାବ୍ନା ମାଲେ ।”
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!

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.
