1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
ARAMAS akan en wia kin kit papa en Kristus o saunkoa pan me rir akan ren Kot.
2 Moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.
A iaduen saunkoa kan? Amen amen en lelapok.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.
I sota insenoki, me komail de kapung en aramas kasaui ia da. Pein ngai pil sota kasaui ia da.
4 For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
Pwe sota me i pein asa, a kaidin met, me i pung kila, a Kaun o me kin kasaui ia da.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from God.
Ari, komail depa kasaui okotme mon a ansau, a lao Kaun o pan kotido, me pan kasansale dang marain okiok en me rotorot akan o kadiarokada lamalam en nan mongioing akan, amen amen ap pan indandeki ren Kot.
6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself, and [to] Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us not to think [of men] above that which is written, that no one of you on account of one, may be puffed up against another.
Ri ai kan, mepukat i kin inda duen ngai o Apolos, pwe komail en ale sang kit, pwe amen ender lamelame, me a siki sang me intingidier, pwe komail ender aklapalapaki amen, ap palian me teio.
7 For who maketh thee to differ [from another]? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive [it], why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received [it]?
Pwe is me mone kin uk? A sota, me mi re om, me koe sota aleer. A ma koe aleer meakaros, menda koe kin suaiki, likamata koe sota aleer?
8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wish ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
Komail medier o kapwapwalar, o komail kin kaunda, ap sota ale sang kit. I men, komail en kaunda, pwe kit ap pil pan iang komail kaunda.
9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.
Pwe i lamelame, me Kot kotin wiai ong kit wanporon akan, en tikitik melel, me mau ong mela, pwe kit wialar men kapuriamui eu ni sappa mon tounlang o aramas akan.
10 We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye [are] wise in Christ; we [are] weak, but ye [are] strong; ye [are] honorable, but we [are] despised.
Kit me song en pweipwei pweki Kristus, a komail me lolekongki Kristus; kit me luet, a komail me kelail; komail me indand mau, a kit me indand sued.
11 Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
Kokodo lel auer met kit men mangadar, o pil men nim piladar, o kiliso, o se kin kalokolok, o sota deu at.
12 And labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it;
O dodok ni pein pa at; kit me kalok sued, a se kin kapaiada, kit me kalokolok, a se kin nenenla; Ni at pakaraun mal, kit kin kapakap.
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day.
Kit wialar tatan kid o kopataun aramas karos.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].
I intingiedier mepukat kaidin pwen kanamenok komail, a pwen panaui komail nai seri kompok kan.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
Pwe ma omail saunpadak pan Kristus me nen, nan sam omail akan me sota non toto, pwe ngai me kaipwi komail ren Kristus Iesus ki rongamau.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
I ari poeki re omail komail en idauen ia do.
17 For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who will bring you into remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
Pwe i me i kadarki wong komail Timoteus nai seri kompoke o lelapok pan Kaun o pwen kataman kin komail duen al ai kan pan Kristus, duen me i kawewedar ni momodisou karos.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
Akai komail me aklapalap likomata i sota pan pwar wong komail.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.
A i pan pwar wong komail madang, ma Kaun o pan kotin kupura. I ap pan kilang kaidin padak en me aklapalap akan, a me manaman.
20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power.
Pwe wein Kot sota mi ni kasoi a ni manaman.
21 What will ye? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness?
Da me komail mauki? I en pwar wong komail wa sokon, de limpok o ngen en opampap?
