Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1Kowos in nunku kacsr lah kut mwet kulansap lun Christ, ac ituku kunasr in karingin ma pwaye lun God su tia eteyuk meet.
2Now it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
2Ma se eneneyuk sin sie mwet kulansap uh pa elan orekma oaru nu sin mwet kacto lal.
3I care very little, however, if I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
3Inge, wangin elya luk kowos ku mwet saya uh fin nununkeyu; nga sifacna nga tia pac nununkeyu.
4My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is the Lord who judges me.
4Nga pulakin sik sifacna mu wangin ma sufal luk, tusruktu nga tia ku in sifacna akpwayei lah wangin mwetik. Leum pa ac nununkeyu.
5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
5Ouinge kowos in tia nununku kutena mwet meet liki pacl fal. Nununku safla uh ac fah soano tuku lun Leum. El ac fah use ma nukewa ma oan yen lohsr uh nu ke kalem, ac akkalemye ma lukma nukewa insien mwet uh. Na kais sie mwet ac fah eis kaksak sin God, fal nu ke orekma lal.
6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
6Mwet lili luk, nga fahk ma inge keik ac Apollos tuh in mwe srikasrak nu suwos, tuh kowos fah ku in etu kalmen fahk se inge, “Tia alukela ma oakwuk in Ma Simusla.” Kowos in tia konkin ke sie sesr ac pilesru el ngia.
7For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
7Su oru tuh kom in fulat liki mwet ngia? Ya tia God pa asot ma nukewa nu sum? Na fuka tuh kom in konkin, srulun oana ma su oan yurum tia ma itukot nu sum?
8Already you have all you want. Already you have become rich. Without us, you have become kings. How I wish you really were kings, so that we might be kings with you!
8Ku kowos falkin tari ma nukewa kowos enenu? Ya kowos kasrupi tari? Ya kowos tokosrala tari, a kut tia? Kwal, nga kena tuh in pwaye lah kowos tokosra, tuh kut in wi kowos pac tokosra.
9For it seems to me that God has displayed us apostles at the end of the procession, like prisoners appointed for death. We have become a spectacle to the whole world, to angels as well as to men.
9Tuh nga nunku mu God El filiya tuh acn sin mwet sap uh pa etok, oana mwet su wotla mu in misa ye mutun mwet uh, tuh in mwe intoe nu sin lipufan ac mwet fin faclu nufon.
10We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we are dishonored.
10Tuh ke sripen Christ kut mwet lalfon, a kowos mwet lalmwetmet yurin Christ! Kut munas, a kowos ku! Pilesreyuk kut, a akfulatyeyuk kowos.
11To this very hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
11Nwe ke pacl se inge, kut masrinsral ac malu; kut nukum mahn nuknuk; anwuk kut; kut takusrkusr mweyen wangin acn sesr;
12We work hard with our own hands. When we are vilified, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;
12ac kut orekma upa in akfalye enenu lasr. Ke mwet uh kaskas koluk kacsr, kut pre in akinsewowoyalos; ke akkeokyeyuk kut, kut muteng na,
13when we are slandered, we answer gently. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
13ke mwet uh akkolukye inesr, kut topuk ke kas kulang. Nwe ke pacl se inge, orek kut oana pus ma sisila lun faclu, ku kutkut ma arulana fohkfok!
14I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.
14Nga simis ma inge nu suwos, tia mweyen nga lungse in akmwekinye kowos, a in luti kowos oana tulik saok nutik sifacna.
15Even if you have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
15Tuh finne oasr singoul tausin mwet karingin kowos in moul in Christian lowos, a papa sefanna tomowos. Tuh ke kowos ma sefannala yurin Christ Jesus, nga pa papa tomowos, ke sripen nga use Pweng Wo nu suwos.
16Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
16Ke ma inge nga kwafe suwos, kowos in oru oana ke nga oru uh.
17That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.
17Ke sripa se inge nga supwalot Timothy nu yuruwos, su tulik saok ac oaru nutik in moul in Christian. El fah akesmakinye kowos ke ouiya nukewa su nga fahsr kac ke moul sasu in kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, ac su nga luti in church nukewa yen nukewa.
18Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you.
18Kutu suwos mutawauk inse fulat mweyen kowos nunku mu nga ac tia fahsrot nu yuruwos.
19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
19Fin ou lungse lun Leum, nga ac sa fahsrot nu yuruwos, ac nga fah sifacna liye fin pwaye oasr ku yurin mwet inse fulat ingan, ku mwe na sramsram wel.
20For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
20Tuh Tokosrai lun God tia ma ke kas, a ke ku.
21Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
21Pia kac ma kowos lungse nga in oru? In fahsrot nu yuruwos ke sie mwe sringsring, ku ke ngunin lungse ac kulang?
