1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
U Paulo, wakiziwilwe nu Kristi Yesu abhe sontezwi whimagano ga Ngolobhe, nu Sosthene wholo wetu,
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:
whishibhanza sha Ngolobhe lyalyaleho hu Korintho, whabhala ambao bhabhe whelwe hushiputo wha Yesu Kristi bhabhali bhakwiziwe abhe bhantu bhasafi. Tihubhasimbila pia bhala bhonti bhabhahulikwizwa itawala lwa Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi kati amahali ponti, Ugosi wawo nu wetu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ineema nuwinza ibhe humwenyu afume wha Ngolobhe baba wetu nu Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Insiku zyonti uhunsalifwa Ongolobhe wane kwa ajili yenyu, afwatanaje ni neema ya Ngolobhe ambayo uKristi uYesu abhapiye.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Abhawombile abhe bhatabhazi katika kila idala, katika ayanje pamoja ni njele zyonti.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Abhawombile atabhazi, hansi usimishizi ahusu uKristi aje ahakikizwe abhe lyoli peka nawo.
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Eshi sagamopongoshewa ikalama zishimoyo, hansi shamuli ni hamu ya golele ugubulwe wa Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ayihubhaimalisya amwe pia hadi humwisho, ili musalaumiwe isiku lya Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ungolobhe golosu wabhakwizizye amwe katika uwushirika wa mwanawakwe, uYesu kristi Ugosi wetu.
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.
Eshi ihubhalabha nkulo nuyilombo bhane, ashilile widala lay Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi, abhe wonti bheteshe, na kwamba husahabhe ulugabhanyo mmiongoni mwenyu. Ihubhalabha aje mulemane mwenti nahuniya yeka na whikusudi lyeka.
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.
Huje abhantu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhambozezye aje huli amalehano gagahendela mumiongoni mwenyu.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Indi ni maana ene: Kila weka mwikundi lyenyu ayanga, “Ane ni wa Paulo,” au “Ane ni wa Apolo”, au “Ane niwa Kefa” au “Ane niwa Kristi”.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Je! uKristi agabhanyishe? Je! uPaulo ayambele kwa ajili yenyu? Je! mwahozewelwe whitawa lya Paulo?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Ihusalifwa Ungolobhe aje saga na mozizye wowonti, ila u Krispo nu Gayo.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Ene yali huje hamuna wowonti wayanje aje mwahozewelwe whitawa lyane.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
(Na nawozizye bha munyumba ya Stephania. Hani yepo, sigihelewa aje namozizye umuntu uwenje wowonti).
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.
Afwatanaje U Kristi sagwantumile ahozye ila alombelele ibhangili. Sagaantumile alombelele hunongwa zinjele yishibinadamu, ili aje engovo yikhobhehanyo lya Kristi lisahefwewe.
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.
Afwatanaje intumi yikhobhehanyo walangani whabhala bhabhafwa. Ila whabhala ambao Ongolobhe ahubhaokoa, ngovo wha Ngolobhe.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Afwatanaje isimbililwe, “Nayihuyinanganya injele yibhibusala. Nayiunganya uwelewa wibhi njele.”
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)
Awhi umuntu winjele? awhi winsukulu? awhi wayanje washawishi wense ene? Aje, Ungolobhe sagaayigeuzizye injele yense ene abhe ukwelengusu? (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.
Afume ense ileho katika injele yakwe sagayamenye Ongolobhe, yasongwezye Ongolobhe katika ukwelengusu wawo walambele ili whuwaule bhala bhabhawheteha.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Whubhayahudi bhawozelezya iishara zimayele na Abhayunani bhawhanza ihekima.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Eshi tilombelela uKristi wayembele, wahali visyo wha Bhayahudi na kwelengusu wha Bhayunani.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Lakini whabhala ambawo bhakwiziwe no Ngolobhe, Abhayahudi tihunobhelela uKristi hansi engovo ninjele ya Ngolobhe.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Abhe ukwelengusu wa Ngolobhe uli ninjele ashele abhanada, na uwuzowofu wa Ngolobhe whuline ngovo hani ya bhanadamu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Enyi ukwiziwe wa Ngolobhe humwanya yenyu, kolo nu yelombo bhane. Sagabhinji bhenyu mwapapwilwe katika uwugosi.
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.
Ila Ungolobhe asaluye ivintu ivekwelengusu vyense ili huvisosye vivilininjele. Ungolobhe asaluye shili zohofu panse hushisosye shishili nengovo.
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,
Ungolobhe asaluye shila shishili shihali ya pansi na shizalaulilwe panse. Asaluye hata ivintu ambavyo sagavya bhaziwilwe abhe hantu, whuvibheshe saga hantu ivintu vivileho ni thamani.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Awombile eshi ili asahabhe wowonti wali ni sababu wahujinule whilongolela lyakwe.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Husababu yishila Ungolobhe shawombile, isalezi muli muhati ya Kristi uYesu, wafanyishe njele kwa ajili yetu wha Ngolobhe. Aleho haki yetu, golosu na waule.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Hansi amatokeo, hansi iizu shaliyanga, “Wahujipala, ajipale wha Gosi.”
