1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
Nhune, vakuulu na vanuna vango, nanilyajovile numue heene vana Mhepo, loi ndavule avaana m'biili. Ghwene avaana avadebe ava Kilisite.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
Nilyavanywisisie utusiva ni nyama, ulwakuva namukiling'anisie kulia inyama. Nambe lino namuling'anisie.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Ulwakuva umue namulim'bili. Ulwakuva ikilule namatupa ghavonike mulyumwue. Vuuli, namukukala kuling'ana nu m'bili, vuuli, namughenda ndavule vulevule vwa kimuunhu.
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Ulwakuva umuunhu jumo iiti, “Nikum'bingilila u Paulo” Ujunge iiti “Nikum'bingilila u Apolo,” namukukala ndavule avaanhu?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
U Apolo ghwe veeni? nu Paulo ghwe veeni? Avavombili vajuula juno mumwitike, kwa ghweni juno u Mutwa akam'pelile imbombo.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Une nilyavyalile, U Apolo akaponia amalenga looli u Nguluve akakusia.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Pa uluo, nakwekuuti juno akavyalile nambe juno alyaponisie amalenga alinikimonga. Looli ghwe Nguluve juno ikusia.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Lino juno avalile najuno ikwusilila amalenga vooni valing'ine, najula juno ikwupilagha uluhombo lwa mwene kuling'ana nhi mbombo jamwene.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Ulwakuva usue tulivavomba mbombo va Nguluve, umwue muli bustani ja Nguluve, lijengo lya Nguluve.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Kuhumilanila nulusungu lwa Nguluve luno nikapelilue heene n'jengaji um'baha, nilyavikile ulwalo, nujunge ijenga pakyanya pa lwene. Looli umuunhu ilolelelaghe ndavule ijenga.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Ulwakuva nakwaele ujunge juno kwandebijenga ulwalo ulunge kukila luno lujengilue, luno ghwe Yesu Kilisite.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Lino, ndavule un'jinu ghwinu ijenga pakyanya ni sahabu, ni ndalama, namavue gha lutogo, amapiki amasoli, nambe amatundu,
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
imbombo ja mwene jilya fwikulilue, kulumuli lwa pamwisi jifwikuluagha. Ulwakuva jilifwikulivua nu mwoto. Umwoto ghuli ghelagha uvunono vwa mbombo jino umuunhu ghweni akajivombile.
14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
Ndavule kyoni kino umuunhu ajangile kisighalila umwene ilikwupilagha uluvonolo.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Looli imbombo ja muunhu jingalanguke nu mwooto, naikwambulila kiinu. Looli umwene jujuo ipokuagha, ndavule kusena ku mwotoo
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Namukagula kuuti umue mulinyumba nyimik ja kufunnyila ja Nguluve nakuuti Mhepo ghwa Nguluve ikukala mun'kate mulyumue?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Nave umuunhu angananganie inyumba inyumba ija kufunyila ija Nguluve, u Nguluve ikumunangania umuunhu ujuo. Ulwakuva inyumba inyimike jakufunyila ija Nguluve nyimike, pauluo najumue.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Umuunhu alisyangile mwene, nave jumonga n'kaate mulyumue isaagha kuuti alinuluhala kumasiki agha, avisaghe hweene “N'jasu” apuo peiva nuluhala. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Ulwakuva uluhala lwa mu iisi iji vuyasu pavulongolo pa Nguluve, ulwakuva jilembilue, “Vikolua avanyaluhala nuvuvesi vuvanave”
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Kange u Nguluve akagwile amasaghe gha vanyaluhala palivuvule.”
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
Apuo umuunhu nalighiniagha avaanhu! Ulwakuva ifiinu fyoni fiinhu.
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Nave ghwe Paulo, nambe u Apolo, nambe u Kefa, nambe iisi, nambe amikalile, nambe vufue, nambe ifinu fino pwefile, nambe fino filyava. Fyooni fiinhu,
23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
Umue mulivakilite va Nguluve.
