1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Nene Pauli nikemeliwi kuvya mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu, kwa maganu ga Chapanga, na mlongo Sostene.
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
Tikuvayandikila nyenye msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu mwemuvi Kolinto. Nyenye mukemeliwi kuvya vandu va Chapanga kwa kuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu, pamonga na vandu voha popoha pevakumuyupa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu mweavi BAMBU witu na wavi mewawa.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nikuvaganila uteke na ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Nikumsengusa Chapanga wangu magono goha ndava yinu, ndava ya mota ya Chapanga yaavapelili kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Muni kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu mmemiswi muvindu vyoha. Mpewi luhala lwa kukokosa na kumanya.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Ujumbi wa Kilisitu uyimi chakukangamala mugati yinu,
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
hati nakupungukiwa na chipanji chochoa kuhuma kwa Mpungu Msopi pemwilindila kugubukuliwa kwa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mwene yati akuvakangamalisa mbaka pamwishu mulolekanayi mwangali kuhoka ligono leiwuya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Chapanga ndi msadikika, avakemili muvyai pamonga na mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu BAMBU witu.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Valongo vangu, nikuvayupa neju kwa liina la BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, mvya pamonga mukila lijambu lemwijova, mkoto kukomana pagati yinu mvya liholo limonga na lijambu limonga.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
Valongo vangu, mambu genigayuwini kuhuma kwa vandu va Kuloe, kuvya mwihutana pagati yinu.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Nigana kujova cheniyuwini kuhuma kwinu, mmonga ijova, “Nene nikumlanda Pauli,” Yungi, “Nene nikumlanda Apolo,” Yungi, “Nene nikumlanda Kefa,” Na yungi ijova, “Nene nikumlanda Kilisitu.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Wu, Kilisitu agavanyiki? Wu, Pauli ndi mweavambiwi pamsalaba ndava yinu? Amala mwabatiziwi kwa liina la Pauli?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Nikumsengusa Chapanga nabatizi lepi mundu hati mmonga winu ndi nga Kilisipo na Gayo.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Hinu kawaka mweihotola kujova abatiziwi kwa liina langu.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
Chakaka nabatizi kavili vandu pa lukolo lwa Stefani, nambu kawaka nimanyili lepi ngati nabatizi mundu yungi.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
Kilisitu anitumi lepi kubatiza vandu, nambu anitumili kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina. Anitumili kukokosa changali kuhuvalila maholo ga vandu vangi, muni makakala ga lifwa cha Kilisitu pamsalaba chikoto kubadilishwa.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Kwa vala vevayagili ujumbi wa chifwa cha Kilisitu pamsalaba uyimu, nambu tete mwetivii munjila ya usangula, ujumbi wenuwo ndi makakala ga Chapanga.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Yati nihalibisa luhala lwa vevavi na luhala na yati niyagisa umanya wa vevavi na luhala.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Avi koki mweavi na luhala? Avi koki mweasomili? Avi koki mweamanyili kudandaula mambu ga mulima? Wu, Chapanga ahengili lepi luhala lwa mulima uwu kuvya ndi uyimu? (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Chapanga igana kuvasangula vala vevakumsadiki kwa njila ya makokoselu gegilolekana kuvya mambu ga uyimu. Akitili chenichi ndava muni vandu vihotola lepi kummanya Chapanga kwa luhala lwavi vene.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Vayawudi vigana chinamtiti na Vagiliki vilonda luhala.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Nambu tete tikumkokosa Kilisitu mweavambiwi pamsalaba. Kwa Vayawudi lijambu lenili ndi unonopa, na kwa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi ndi uyimu,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
nambu kwa vala na Chapanga, Vayawudi na vandu vanga Vayawudi, Kilisitu ndi Makakala ga Chapanga na luhala lwa Chapanga.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Muni chechilolekana kuvya uyimu wa Chapanga ndi luhala kuliku luhala lwa vandu, na chechilolekana kuvya ungolongondi wa Chapanga, ndi chivii na makakala kuliku makakala ga vandu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Hinu valongo vangu muholalela chamwakemiliwi na Chapanga, lepi voha pagati yinu vevana luhala kulandana na maholo ga vandu, vamahele lepi pagati yinu vevivya na makakala, amala ukulu.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
Chapanga ahagwili gala mulima ukugawona ga uyimu, muni avapela soni vana luhala, na agahagwili gala mulima ukugawona kuvya ndi ungolongondi muni avapelayi soni vana makakala.
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
Chapanga ahagwili vindu pahi viviveveswa na mulima uwu, na vindu vingali kuvya muni agahalabisa mambu gevikemela kuvya ga chakaka.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Chapanga akitili chenichi kawaka mundu wa kumeka palongolo yaki.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Chapanga ndi mweavawunganisi na Kilisitu Yesu. Chapanga amkitili Kilisitu kuvya luhala witu, kwa njila yaki titepulaniswi na Chapanga, tivya tavandu vetibaguliwi ndava ya Chapanga na kugombolewa.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Hinu ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Mweigana kumeka, ndi, amekelayi ndava ya lihengu la BAMBU.”
