1So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants, and stewards of God’s mysteries.
1Kadia te dikhen pe ame, sar slugi ke Kristoske, kai das o shodimos le Devlesko.
2Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
2So mangelpe katar kodola kai den, te arakhadiol swako chacho.
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.
3Mange xantsi, tume te keren pe mande kris, vai manushenge kris; ai chi me chi kerav pe mande kris, ke chi haliarav ma doshalo pe kanch.
4For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
4Numa nai anda kodia ke sim chacho, kodo kai kerel pe mande kris si O Del.
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.
5Anda kodia na keren kris pe kanchi mai anglal sar e vriama, zhi kai avel O Del, kai thola anda sveto so godi si garado ando tuniariko, ai sikavela le ginduria le ilenge. Antunchi swako lela katar O Del o luvudimos kai si lesko dino.
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.
6Anda tumende, phrala le, kerdem kadala dieluria mange ai le Apollos, kashte te sichon pa amende te na zhan mai angle anda so si ramome, ai khonik anda tumende te na kerel bariarel iekes po kaver.
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?
7Ke so si kai sikavel? So si tu kai chi lian, ai te lian sostar bariares tu sar te na lianas le?
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.
8Vunzhe chaile san! Vunzhe barvale san! Tume traiin sar amperaturia bi amensa, ai te dashtinas te aven bare, kashte te lia ame avas bare tumensa.
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.
9Ke O Del miazol mange kerdia anda amenge apostluria le palune andal manush, sar shinade ka martia: anda kadia dikhlia ame e lumia le angeluria, ai le manush.
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.
10Dile sam pala Kristo, numa tume san gojaver ando Kristo! Ame sam slabe, numa tume san zurales! Tume san respektome, ai ame sam shudine.
11Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
11Zhi ka kado chaso bokhale sam, trushale sam, nange sam, marde sam, ai phiravas ame than thanestar.
12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
12Ai keras buchi amare vastesa: stramime sam, rhugisaras lenge; chinuime sam, rhevdisaras: xoxaven pe amende, dem duma lashimasa;
13Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
13kerdiliam sar o gunoi la lumiake, ai ame sam o shudimos la savorhenge zhi akana.
14I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
14Chi ramon kadala dieli te kerav tumenge lazhav, numa te phenav tumenge sar murhe drazhi shavorhe.
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.
15Ke marka te avela tume desh mi xazhaino ando Kristo, nai tume but dada, tume avilian shave le Devleske, kana phendem tumenge e lashi viasta.
16I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
16No mangav ma tumende, keren sar mande.
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.
17Anda kodia tradem tumenge o Timote, kai si murho drago shav, ai chacho ando Del, phenela tumenge save si murhe droma ando Kristo, ai chi fiela sicharav kai godi ande sa le khangeria.
18Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
18Uni puchi le ande barimata, sar akana te na si te avav tumende.
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.
19Numa sigo zhava tumende, te si voia le Devleski, ai zhanava so le puchile keren, ai na ferdi so won phenen.
20For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
20Ke o rhaio le Devlesko nai andel vorbi, numa ande putiera.
21What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
21So mangen? Te zhav tumende le ka rovliasa, vai dragomasa, ai iek duxo guglo?
