The First Letter Da Paul Write to the Corinthians
4 We want people to see us like servant dem* who working for Christ and who God na trust with his holy secret. 2 Also, the boss man can expect his servant dem* to be faithful. 3 To me, it not really important for yor to judge me or for any court to judge me. To talk the truth, I can’t even judge myself. 4 I not know about any bad thing I na do. But this one not mean da I righteous person. Jehovah* da the person who can judge me. 5 So don’t judge anything before the right time reach. When the Lord come, he will bring the secret thing dem da in the darkness outside in the light. And he will show the thing dem da people get in their hearts, and each person will get his praise from God.
6 My brother dem, I say this thing dem about me and A·polʹlos so yor can benefit and learn this point from our examples. It say, “Yor mon only follow the thing dem they write in the Scriptures,” so da yor can’t get proud and start picking and choosing. 7 Wetin make yor different from each other? Wetin yor get da somebody not give yor? If God give it to yor, then why yor can be making big mouth just like nobody give it to yor?
8 Yor think yor already get everything yor need? Yor think yor already rich? Yor think yor na start ruling as king and we not start ruling yet? I really wish da yor na start ruling as king, so da we ourself too can start ruling as kings with yor. 9 To me, it looking like God na make we the apostle dem, to be the last people to enter the stadium so da people can look at us before they kill us. So the world, the angel dem, and all the other people looking at us. 10 People look at us to be foolish because of Christ. But yor can think yor get sense because yor following Christ. We looking weak, but yor looking strong, and people can give yor honor but they can’t honor us. 11 Up to now we still hungry, thirsty and we not get any good clothes to wear. They can beat us and we not get house to live in. 12 We can also use our own hands to work hard. When people cuss us, we can bless them. When they treat us bad, we can hold our heart and bear it. 13 When people lie on us to spoil our name, we can be kind when we answering them. Up to now the people dem in the world can look at us to be like dirt, and like thing dem da people can throw away.
14 I not writing this thing dem to make yor shame, but I writing it to advise yor like my children dem who I really love. 15 Even though yor able to get 10,000 teachers who can teach yor how to follow Christ, yor not get plenty father dem. I looking just like father who teaching yor the good news, and to follow Jesus Christ. 16 So I begging yor to follow my example. 17 Da why I sending Timothy to yor. He my child in the Lord, I really love him and he faithful. He will remind yor about the way I can do things when I serving Jesus Christ, just how I can teach everywhere in all the congregation dem.
18 Some of yor think say I not coming to yor, because of da, they na get proud. 19 But I will soon come to yor if da what Jehovah* want. Then I will get to know whether the people dem who proud get the power to back the thing dem they saying. 20 Because God Kingdom not about the thing dem people can say, but it about power. 21 Which one yor want? I mon come to yor to punish* yor or I mon come to yor with love and kind heart?
