1 KORINTI 4
Rasul-rasul Kristus
1 Arus min iakuindu maka kami enda kap suruh-suruhen Kristus dingen pengurus erta-erta Tuhan si ertanggung jawab kerna rahasia Dibata. 2 Sekalak pengurus arus teridah maka ia kalak si terteki kap. Enda me si la banci lang i bas sekalak pengurus. 3 Soal kitik nge kuakap e adi aku iperiksandu tah iadili kalak si deban. Janah aku jine pe labo kuperiksa bangku. 4 Sabap bersih pusuh peratenku; tapi labo e ngatakenca maka aku la ersalah. Tuhan me pagi si meriksa aku.
5 E maka ola biasaken ngukum kalak ope denga seh paksana, tapi timailah ngayak reh Tuhan. Iterangina me pagi rahasia-rahasia si gelap denga, janah ipetangkasna isi pusuh peraten manusia si terbuni. Kenca bage maka sekalak-sekalak ngaloken pujin i bas Dibata nari sue ras si patut ialokenna.
6 Kerina si enggo kukataken e, o senina-senina, e me kap kerna aku ras Apolos. Tujunku e me kap gelah erlajar kam i bas kami, maka ola ilanggarndu batas-batas si tersurat i bas Pustaka Si Badia, e me kap gelah ola meganjang ukurndu jenari iangkatkenndu sekalak tapi iperjakndu si deban.
7 Ise kin erbahanca kam lebihen asa kalak si deban o seninangku? Ma kin kerina si lit i bas kam e pemere Dibata nge? Adi pemere nge e, ngkai dage maka meganjang ukurndu, tempa-tempa si lit i bas kam e labo pemere?
8 Enggo tuhu cukup kerina si iperlukenndu! Enggo tuhu bayak kam! Enggo tuhu jadi raja kam; kami lang! Jadi raja lah gia min kam kerina pe, gelah banci kam jadi raja ras kam. 9 Sabap rikutken pengakapku, maka man kami rasul-rasul enda enggo itentuken Dibata ingan kami i bas barisen si arah pudina kal, bali ras kalak si iukum mate, gelah jadi tontonen kerina si nasa lit, malekat-malekat ras manusia. 10 Kami tuhu kalak bodoh erkiteken Kristus; tapi kam kalak Kristen si beluh! Kami kote, tapi kam megegeh! Kami ihina, tapi kam ipehaga! 11 Seh ku bas paksa enda pe muas dingen kelihen kami; uis kami pe si leket i bas daging kami e ngenca; kasar perbahanen kalak man kami; la lit ingan kami si tetap. 12 Latih kami erdahin alu tan kami guna encariken keperlun kami. Adi isumpahi kalak kami, ipasu-pasu kami ia; adi isiksa kalak kami, megenggeng kami. t
13 Adi igombang-gombangi kalak kami, mehuli pengaloi kami man bana. Perbahan kalak man kami bali ras perbahanenna nandangi sampah doni enda; seh ku bas paksa enda kami me kalak si la terpakena i bas pengidah manusia.
14 Si enda kusuratken man bandu labo gelah mela iakapndu, tapi guna ngajarken kam sabap kam anak-anakku si kukelengi. 15 Sabap bicara lit gia sepuluh ribu kalak gurundu selaku kam kalak Kristen, bapandu labo mbue. I bas kegeluhenndu selaku kalak Kristen aku me bapandu, sabap aku nge si maba Berita Si Meriah man bandu. 16 Dage kupindoken man bandu: Usihlah aku. t
17 Guna si e me maka kusuruh Timotius ndahi kam. I bas kiniteken man Tuhan ia me anakku si kukelengi dingen si setia. Ia me si mpersingeti kam kerna dalan kegeluhenku si kudalanken i bas Kristus Jesus, dingen e me pe si kuajarken i bas kerina perpulungen i japa pe.
18 Tapi lit piga-piga kalak i bas kam enggo meganjang ukurna sabap iakapna labo aku reh ndahi kam. 19 Tapi lanai ndekahsa reh nge aku ndahi kam adi bagelah peraten Tuhan. Jenari kupepayo me kalak si meganjang rukur e, labo cakapna tapi gegehna nge si kupepayo. 20 Sabap Kinirajan Dibata labo soal cakap, tapi soal gegeh. 21 Kuga dage atendu? Reh atendu aku alu maba perpalu, ntah alu keleng ate dingen mesayang?
1 Corinthians 4
The Apostles’ Ministry
1 Onet should think about us this way – as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.2 Now what is sought in stewards is that one be found faithful.3 So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.4 For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not acquitted because of this. The one who judges me is the Lord.
5 So then, do not judge anything before the time. Wait until the Lord comes. He willt bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the motives of hearts. Then each will receive recognitiont from God.
6 I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters,t so that through us you may learn “not to go beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.7 For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?8 Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!9 For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.10 We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!11 To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.12 We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,
13 when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.
A Father’s Warning
14 I am not writing these things to shame you, but to correct you as my dear children.15 For though you may have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, because I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.16 I encourage you, then, be imitators of me.17 For this reason, I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and faithful son in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways in Christ,s as I teach them everywhere in every church.18 Some have become arrogant,t as if I were not coming to you.19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.20 For the kingdom of God is demonstrated not in idle talk but with power.
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod of disciplinets or with love and a spirit of gentleness?
