1 Korintho 4
1 Ite uu umuntu wakualye use, anga keitumi ang'wa Kilisto neilhiwa niaunkunku wa tai ang'wi Tunda.
Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
2 Mueli ite, nilitakewe muilihwa inge kina atule akuhuelwa.
And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
3 Kuite kung'waane unene inge kintu kiniino kukila, kutula kulamulwa nunyenye angwi ulamulwi nuakiuntu. Kunsoko singa kilamuiilya nunene gaa.
As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
4 Singakilamuilya uneneeudu, ite kutile anga ndogoilyo kina unene nkite tai. Itunda winamuilya.
For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
5 Kuite gwa, muleke kutambula lehi kulamula imatungo angeze akili kupika, nuakile kiza Umukulu. Ukumaleta muyelu imakani nipihile muhili nukukunukula uulimeili nuamunkolo. Uu kukila ung'wi ukusengilya lukumo lakwe kupuma kung'wi Tunda.
Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkenesse, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall euery man haue praise of God.
6 Itungo ile, akaka niadada ane, unene lukulu nu Apolo nkiiteye inzila iye kunsoko anyu. Inge kina kupuma kitaitu mukusaga kumanya indogoilyo antambu, “Uleke kenda kukila anga nikiandekilwe.” Iki inge kina kutile anga nung'wi wanyu nukihumbula kumuya.
Nowe these things, brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto mine owne selfe and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man presume aboue that which is written, that one swell not against another for any mans cause.
7 Indogoilyo nyenyu nuine kuhita kimpana kung'wanyu numuya? Ukete ntuni nusinga usingieye nekanda? Ang'wi wasingilya nekanda, kuniki mukihumbula anga shanga mutendile itee?
For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued? if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it?
8 Akonda kulula mukete ehi aya nemutakile! Yakonda kulula miagole! Manza utemi nukikie lukulu kukila usese! Tai, numutakie utemi uza inge kina kutemye palung'we nunye.
Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made rich: ye reigne as kings without vs, and would to God ye did reigne, that we also might reigne with you.
9 Kuite nsegile Itunda ukuekile usese anga keitumi kualagiila impelo nalukilili nuakandamana hange ang'wi iantu nae alamuewe kubulagwa. Katula anga kilumbi muunkumbigulu, kuamalaika niantu.
For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gasing stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men.
10 Use kiapungu kunsoko ang'wa Kilisto, kuite unye mukete ikulye mung'wa Kilisto. Kiakia, kuile unye mukete ingulu. Mukuiigwe kuite usese kumeilwe.
We are fooles for Christes sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weake, and ye are strong: ye are honourable, and we are despised.
11 Inge nitungo ele kukete nzala ni nyota, kiagila iang'wenda, kukete mapigo, nikange kiagila anga wikalo.
Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
12 Kuituma imilemo kungulu, kumekono itu usese. Nekumeilwe, kukakembeta. Imatungo nikuagigwa, hakigigimeilya.
And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
13 Nekuutukilwa, kikasusha kuupolo. Kakula, hange kukile kuaigwe kulula anga kuhitilwe nuunkumbigulu nemumakani ehi.
We are euill spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offskowring of all things, vnto this time.
14 Singa nimaandekile imakani aya kumuhumya munyala unye, kuite kumusukila unyenye anga mianino ana nenemoloilwe.
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
15 Hatize anga mukete amanyisi makumi anzugu mung'wa Kilisto, miagila iatata nudu. Kunsoko natula nitata wanyu mung'wa Yesu Kilisto kukiila utananti.
For though ye haue tenne thousand instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: for in Christ Iesus I haue begotten you through the Gospel.
16 Ite kumupepeelya mumbige unene.
Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
17 Iyi yeyi nsoko akumtuma u Timoteo, mulowa nuane hange mung'endya numuhueli Mumukulu. Ukumukembusha inzila yane mung'wa Kilisto, anga ninimanyisa kukela ikianza hange kela itekeelo.
For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, which is my beloued sonne, and faithfull in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my wayes in Christ as I teache euery where in euery Church.
18 Itungo ile ang'wi anyu akihumbula, akutenda anga singa nzile kung'waanyu.
Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
19 Kiute nzila kitalanyu pakupe, anga Umukulu walowe. Ulu niikiza nkani yaoudu neendi humbula, Kuite kumiona engulu ao.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will knowe, not the wordes of them which are puffed vp, but the power.
20 Kunsoko utemi wang'wi Tunda wikitile munkani inge mungulu.
For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
21 Mutakile ntunii? Neze numulanga nee kitalanyu ang'wi kuuluwa nikunkolo naupolo.
What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?
