1 Corinthians 4
1 Let men this wyse esteme vs eve as the ministers of Christ and disposers of ye secretes of God.
所以，要把自己看作基督的仆人，为“上帝的奥秘”负责。
2 Furthermore it is requyred of the disposers that they be founde faithfull.
不仅如此，承担这一职责之人，还必须值得信赖。
3 With me is it but a very smal thinge that I shuld be iudged of you ether of (mans daye) No I iudge not myn awne selfe.
无论你或其他人评判我，我都完全不介意。事实上，我甚至也不会评判自己。
4 I know nought by my selfe: yet am I not therby iustified. It is the Lorde that iudgeth me.
我不记得自己做过错事，但这并不代表我在道德上称得上良善正直，只有主才能评判我。
5 Therfore iudge no thinge before the tyme vntill the Lorde come which will lighten thinges that are hyd in darcknes and ope the counsels of the hertes. And then shall every man have prayse of God.
所以，在恰当时机到来之前——即主降临之前，不要做出任何评判。他将照亮那被隐藏的、最黑暗的秘密，袒露人心里的动机。届时，上帝会给每个人应得的称赞。
6 These thinges brethre I have described in myn awne person and Apollos for youre sakes that ye myght learne by vs that no man coute of him selfe beyonde that which is above written: that one swell not agaynst another for eny mans cause.
那么，兄弟姐妹们，我用我自己和亚波罗给你们做例子，让你们了解，不要超越经文所记内容，不要自高自大，不要偏爱任何人。
7 For who preferreth the? What hast thou that thou hast not receaved? Yf thou have receaved it why reioysest thou as though thou haddest not receaved it?
是什么让你如此特别？你拥有了什么，才让上帝不肯给予你？既然是来自上帝的给予，为什么要傲慢地否认这一点？
8 Now ye are full: now ye are made rych: ye raygne as kinges with out vs: and I wold to god ye dyd raygne that we might raygne with you.
你以为拥有了所需的一切。你以为自己如此富有。你以为自己是王，不再需要我们。我倒真的希望你就是国王，这样我们就可以与你共同为王！
9 Me thinketh that God hath set forth vs which are Apostles for the lowest of all as it were me appoynted to deeth. For we are a gasyngestocke vnto the worlde and to ye angels and to men.
在我看来，上帝将我们这些使徒排在队列的最后，作为一种展示，尽管我们也会向其他人一样死去，但那只是我们在整个宇宙面前、在天使和人类面前，演了一场戏。
10 We are foles for Christes sake and ye are wyse thorow Christ. We are weake and ye are stroge. Ye are honorable and we are despised.
我们是基督的愚人，但与上帝同在的你却如此智慧。我们软弱，你们强壮！你们受人尊敬，我们被瞧不起！
11 Eve vnto this daye we honger and thyrst and are naked and are boffetted wt fistes and have no certayne dwellinge place
即使是现在，我们仍然饥渴难耐、衣不蔽体、遭受殴打、无处安身。
12 and laboure workinge with oure awne hondes. We are revysed and yet we blesse. We are persecuted and suffer it.
我们艰难辛苦地劳作。被人咒骂，我们会为其祝福；遭人迫害，我们会忍受；
13 We are evyll spoken of and we praye. We are made as it were the filthynes of the worlde the ofscowringe of all thinges even vnto this tyme.
被人毁谤，我们报以善意。直到现在，人们视我们为泥土、这世上最肮脏的垃圾。
14 I write not these thinges to shame you: but as my beloved sonnes I warne you.
我写这番话并非让你们羞愧，而是把你们当作我最爱的孩子一样给出警告。
15 For though ye have ten thousande instructours in Christ: yet have ye not many fathers. In Christ Iesu I have begotten you thorowe ye gospell.
纵然你们有成千上万的基督徒教师，但却没有多少人可以称其为父。因为基督耶稣的缘故，当我与你们分享福音，便可成为你们的父亲。
16 Wherfore I desyre you to folowe me.
所以我请求你们，一定要效法我。
17 For this cause have I sent vnto you Timotheus which is my deare sonne and faithfull in the Lorde which shall put you in remembrauce of my wayes which I have in Christ eve as I teache every where in all congregacios.
也正是因为这个原因，我派提摩太去拜访你们。他与主同在，是我最值得信赖、最喜爱的儿子。他将提醒你们我如何追随基督，就像我在各会堂中所作的教导。
18 Some swell as though I wolde come no more at you.
有人以为我不会到他们那里去，于是就变得骄傲自负。
19 But I will come to you shortely yf God will: and will knowe not ye wordes of the which swell but ye power:
但只要是主的意愿，我很快就会去往那里。然后了解那些傲慢自负的人都说了什么，知晓他们的能力如何。
20 for ye kyngdome of God is not in wordes but in power.
因为上帝之国并不关注言语，而要看能力。
21 What will ye? Shall I come vnto you with a rodde or els in love and in the sprete of mekenes?
那么你期待什么？让我带着棍子去殴打你，还是带着爱和温柔的灵出现？
