1Koute jaw Kris nasemtein leh Pathian thuguk kemte bangin min honthei uhen.
1So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants, and stewards of God’s mysteries.
2Hiaiah kempa tuh mi muanhuai hih a kiphamoh ahi.
2Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
3Himahleh nou non zeetna u leh mihing ngaihtuahnain non zeetna utuh kei adingin thil neu chik ahi.
3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment. Yes, I don’t judge my own self.
4Keimah leng ka kizeet ngei tuan kei. Bangmah kimohsakna ding ka kithei keia; himahleh, huaiin siam hontang sak tuan kei hi; honzeetpa tuh Toupa ahi jaw.
4For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
5Huchiin, ahun main bangmah zeet kei un, Toupa hong masiah, aman tuh miala thil selgulte vakah a honla khe ding hi; lungtanga tupte leng a hihlang lai ding hi; huai hun chiangin mi chihin Pathian akipanin amau tan hun chiatin phatna aloh chiat ding uh.
5Therefore 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.
6Unaute aw, na phattuapihna dingun hiai thu Apollo leh kei tungah ka belh ahi, huchi-a laisiangthou banga hindan koute akipana na sin theihna ding uleh na lak ua kuamah mi khat midang sanga ngaina jaw-a na kisaktheihpih louhna dingun.
6Now 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.
7Kuan ahia nou-a thil tuam deuh oma mu? Na muhsawn louh ngal uh bang ahia na neih uh? Huchia-a a musawn lel na hih uleh na muhsawn uh a thawna piak hilo bangtaka bangdia kisathei zenzen?
7For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8Tuin na vahta ua! Tuin na honghauta ua! Kou louin vai na hawmta uhi! Ahi, vaihawm taktak le uchin ka vaihawm sam theihna ding un.
8You 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.
9Pathianin kou sawltakte, si dinga sehsa bangin a nanungpenin honsep khia hiin ka thei ahi; khovelte leh angelten leh mihingte mitmuha etnopa bawlin ka om uhi.
9For, 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.
10Kou jaw Kris jiakin mihai ka hi ua, nou bel Kris ah mipil na hi jaw uhi; kou jaw kahat kei ua, nou bel nahat uhi; nou jaw mi pahtawiin na om ua, kou jaw mi simmohin ka om jaw uhi.
10We 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.
11Tutanin leng ka gilkial un ka dangtak ua, puansilh ka kiching kei ua, mi khut thak nuhna ka hi ua, mun leh mual ka neikei ua;
11Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12Koumau khuta semin ka gim mahmah uhi; min hontai uleh ka vualjawl ua; min honsawi uleh ka thuak teitei uhi;
12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13Min hon gensiat uleh ka khem ua; tutan inleng khovel ninnok thil tengteng nin bangin a honbawl uhi.
13Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14Na zumna ding un hiai thu ka gelh ahi keia, ka ta deihtakte banga hontaihilh dingin ka gelh ahi jaw hi.
14I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15Kris ah heutu sing khat nei mah le uchin, pa jaw tampi na nei tuan kei uhi; ken Kris Jesu ah Tanchin Hoihin ka honnei ahi.
15For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
16Huaijiakin, ka omdan jui dingin ka hon ngen ahi.
16I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
17Hiaijiakin, Timothi, Toupa a ka ta deihtak leh muan huai, na kiang uah ka honsawl ahi; aman Kris a ka omdan, gam chiha saptuamte teng thu ka hilh jeldan khawng a honthei sak nawn ding hi.
17Because 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.
18Huan, kei na kiang ua hong nawn lou ding bang jenin khenkhat nana ki uangsak ua.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19Himahleh, Toupan hoih a sakleh, sawt lou chik nungin na kiang uah ka hongding, huchiin mi kiuangsakte kamhat thu hilouin, a thilhihtheihna uh ka thei zota ding hi.
19But 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.
20Pathian gam jaw kamhat thu ah a om keia, thilhihtheihnaah a om jaw ahi.Bang na deih jaw ua? Chiang toh hia na kiang ua ka hong ding itna leh lungsim nemna toh?
20For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21Bang na deih jaw ua? Chiang toh hia na kiang ua ka hong ding itna leh lungsim nemna toh?
21What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
