1 Corinth 4
1 Eikhoibu nakhoina Tengban Mapugi athuppa achumbasing adugi asin arangi thoudang sinnakhraba Christtagi manai ama oina khanbiyu.
So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
2 Asigumba manaising asigi mathou taba amadi makhoigi mapusinggi maphamda thajaba yaba oiba asini.
Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
3 Houjik, nakhoina eibu wayenbada nattraga taibangpangi wayel amagi matung-inna eibu wayenbada eina madu maru oiba oina khande; aduga ei isanaphaoba isabu wayenjade.
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I do not even judge my own self.
4 Eina aranba toukhiba amata ei khangde, adumakpu masimakna ei chummi haibadi natte. Eibu chang yengbiba adudi Ibungo mahakni.
For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
5 Maram aduna achaba matam adu laktriphaoba kanadasu wayen-ganu, Ibungona lenglaktriphaoba ngaibiyu. Mahakna amambada lotlibasing adu mangalda puthokkani aduga misinggi thamoida leiriba aronba thourang adu phongdokkani. Matam aduda mi pumnamakna Tengban Mapudagi makhoigi matik chaba thagatchaba adu phangjagani.
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
6 Aduga Ichil-inaosa, “Iriba adugi wangmada hendokphade” haiba paorou asigi wahanthok adu nakhoina eikhoidagi tamnanaba, nakhoigidamak eina masi pumnamaksing asi isamakta amadi Apollos-da pandam oina sijinnajei. Masi nakhoi kananasu mi amagidak chaothoktanaba aduga atoppa amadana hanthana yengdanabani.
Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
7 Maramdi kannana nahakpu atoppasingdagi henna chaohanbage? Nahakna leijariba pumnamak adu Tengban Mapuna pibiba nattabra? Adu oirabadi, nahakna leijariba adu khudol nattabagumna nahakna karamna chaothokadouribano?
For who makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 Houjik nakhoina pamjaba pumnamak nakhoida leire! Houjik nakhoi inak khulle! Nakhoina eikhoi yaodana ningthougum palle! Hoi, eikhoina nakhoiga loinana ningthou oiminnanaba, nakhoina tasengna ningthou oiba adu eina kayada pamjaba!
You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
9 Maramdi, taibang malem apumba, swargadutsing amadi misinggi mityengpham oina, miyam mangda sinanabagi maral piraba misinggumna Tengban Mapuna pakhonchatpa eikhoida khwaidagi mamei oiba mapham adu pibire haina eina ningjei.
For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
10 Maramdi Christtagi maramgidamak eikhoi apangbasingni; adubu nakhoidi Christtada asingba oire! Eikhoibu hanthana yengbi; adubu nakhoibu ikai khumnabi!
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
11 Pungja asidaphaoba eikhoina lamli, khourangli aduga eikhoina phijet phigai amadi phimal setli; phubiri; yum leijadaba oiri.
Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12 Eikhoina eikhoigi ikhutmakna thabak kanna sui. Eikhoibu sirap tourabada, eikhoina yaipha thoujal pibi, eikhoibu ot-neirabada eikhoina khaang-i.
We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 Eikhoibu ikaiba pirabada eikhoina nungshina paokhumbi. Mikup asi phaoba eikhoi taibangpanbagi phatha haodigumna oiri, phattaduna amadi kannadraduna hunjeklaba potsakkum oiri!
Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14 Eina masi nakhoibu ikaiba pinanaba i-ba natte, adubu isamakki nungsijaraba ichasinggumna paotak oina haibani.
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15 Maramdi nakhoigi christian-gi punsida nakhoibu takpi-tambiba lising tara leiraba phaobada nakhoigi ipadi amatani. Maramdi nakhoigi Christta Jisuga amata oina punsinjabagi punsida nakhoida Aphaba Pao purakpagi mapanna eihak nakhoigi ipa oire.
For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
16 Maram aduna eigi itou louba oibiyu haina eina nakhoibu thougatchari.
I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
17 Maram asigidamak eina eigi nungsijaraba ichanupa, Ibungoda thajaba yaba oiriba Timothybu nakhoigi naphamda thakhibani. Aduga eina mapham khudingda leiba singlupsingda tambibagum Christta Jisugi tung-inba ama oina eina chatchaba ichat itou pumnamak mahakna nakhoida ningsinhanbigani.
Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
18 Nakhoi kharana eina nakhoigi nanakta amuk laklaroidabagumna chaothokli.
Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19 Adumakpu Ibungogi aningba oirabadi eina nakhoigi nanakta athuba matamda laktuna chaothokpasing aduna kari haibage haibadu khak nattana makhoigi panggal adusu eina khanggani.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
20 Maramdi Tengban Mapugi leibak adudi waheigi natte adubu panggalgini.
For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
21 Nakhoina kari pambage? Eina cheiga loinana lakpara? Nattraga nungsiba amadi pukning tappaga loinana lakpara?
What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
