1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
Achalongo achinjangu, uneji nganiŵecheta nomwe mpela ŵandu ŵakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu nambo naŵechete ni ŵanyamwe mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa nti twanache mu kwakulupilila Kilisito.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
Nang'wesisye maŵele, ngaŵa yakulya yakulimba, pakuŵa nganinkombola kulya, namose sambano ngankupakombola kulya.
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe chiŵela nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo yakuti pakutama. Uli pasikati jenu nganiupagwa wiu ni utinda? Yele yose ikulosya kuti ŵanyamwe chiŵela nli ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino, ni ŵanyamwe nkutama mpela chilambo ichikuti pakusaka.
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
Jumo jwenu pakuti, “Une ngwakuya che Paolo,” ni jwine asalaga, “Une ngwakuya che Apolo,” uli ngankutenda mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo yakuti pakutenda?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Ana che Apolo ali ŵaani? Ni che Paolo ali ŵaani? Uweji tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu utukunnyichisya chikulupi. Jwalijose apanganyisye masengo gapegwilwe ni Ambuje.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
Une napandile mbeju ni che Apolo ŵajitilile meesi nambo Akunnungu ni uŵajimelesye.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Nambo ŵapandile ngaŵa chindu sooni ŵajitilile meesi ngaŵa chindu nambo Akunnungu pe ŵaŵajimelesye mbeju ali jwankulu.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Mundu juŵapandile ni juŵajitilile meesi wose ali yalumo ni Akunnungu chachimpa jwalijose mbote jakwe malinga ni masengo gakwe gapangenye.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
Pakuŵa uwe wose tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe nli ngunda wa Akunnungu, iyoyo nli nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
Kwa ligongo lya umbone wa Akunnungu ambele masengo, misile nsingi mpela jwakutaŵa jwambone yakuti kukolosya, ni mundu jwine akutaŵa pachanya pakwe. Nambo jwalijose jwakutaŵa alilolechesye yakuti pakutaŵa pachanya pakwe.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakupakombola kuŵika nsingi wine kupunda aula wemale kuŵichikwa, yaani Che Yesu Kilisito.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Pachanya nsingi wo mundu akukombola kutaŵa kwa sahabu pane kwa feza pane kwa maganga ga ntengo wekulungwa pane kwa itela pane kwa manyasi pane kwa masamba.
13 each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.
Usalale wa masengo ga mundu jwalijose chiuwoneche ni kuŵichikwa pangasisika, pa lyuŵa litaiche Kilisito kukwalamula ŵandu. Pakuŵa pa lyuŵa lyo, mooto chiuunukule masengo ga kila mundu ni wele mooto chiulinje umbone wa masengo ga mundu jwalijose ni kulosya iŵaga gali gakusalala.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
Iŵaga chataŵile mundu pachanya pa nsingi wo ngachipya kwa mooto wo, mundu jo chapochele ntulilo.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Iŵaga chataŵile cho chichipye, nipele mundu jo ngaapata ntulilo wao, nambo nsyene jo chakulupuswe mpela ila apokweche pa mooto.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Ana ngankumanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe nli Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kuti Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akutama nkati mwenu?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Nipele naga mundu akujijonanga Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu chanjonanje mundu jo. Pakuŵa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jili jeswela, ni ŵanyamwe nli Nyuumba jo.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Mundu jwalijose akalilambusya nsyene, iŵaga mundu mwa ŵanyamwe akuliganisya kuti ali ni lunda lwa chilambo chino, mbaya aŵeje jwakuloŵela kuti akole ni lunda lusyene. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
Pakuŵa lunda lwa chilambo chino luli uloŵelo paujo pa Akunnungu pakuŵa ilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Akunnungu akwatanjisya ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda mu ukalamuche wao.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Ni sooni ilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Ambuje akusimanyilila nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda lwa pachilambo kuti syangali chindu.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Pele mundu jwalijose ngasalilapila ŵandu. Pakuŵa indu yose ili yenu ŵanyamwe.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
Aŵaga che Paolo pane che Apolo pane che Kefa pane chilambo pane umi pane chiwa pane katema ka sambano pane katema kakakwika, yoseyo ili yenu ŵanyamwe,
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
ni ŵanyamwe nli ŵandu ŵa Kilisito ni Kilisito ali ŵa Akunnungu.
