1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
Nange abooluganda ssaasobola kwogera nammwe ng’ab’omwoyo, naye nayogera nammwe ng’ab’omubiri era ng’abaana abawere mu Kristo.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
Nabanywesa mata so si mmere enkalubo, kubanga mwali temunnagisobola. Naye era ne kaakano temunnagisobola,
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?
kubanga mukyafugibwa mubiri. Naye obanga mukyalimu obuggya n’ennyombo, temufugibwa mubiri era temutambula ng’abalina empisa z’abantu obuntu?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
Kubanga omuntu yenna bw’agamba nti, “Nze ndi wa Pawulo,” n’omulala nti, “Nze ndi wa Apolo,” olwo temuba ng’abantu obuntu?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Kale Apolo ye ani? Ne Pawulo ye ani? Baweereza buweereza ababakkirizisa, nga Mukama bwe yawa buli omu.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
Nze nasiga, Apolo n’afukirira, kyokka Katonda ye yakuza.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Kale bwe kityo oyo asiga n’oyo afukirira si be bakulu wabula Katonda akuza.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Oyo asiga kaakano n’oyo afukirira bali bumu, era buli omu aliweebwa empeera ye okusinziira ku mulimu gw’aliba akoze.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
Kubanga ffe tuli bakozi abakolera awamu ne Katonda, ate mmwe muli nnimiro ya Katonda, muli nnyumba ya Katonda.
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.
Okusinziira ku kisa kya Katonda ekya mpeebwa, ng’omuzimbi ow’amagezi, nazimba omusingi, kaakano omulala aguzimbako. Naye buli aguzimbako yeegenderezenga bw’aguzimbako.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Kubanga tewali n’omu ayinza kuteekawo musingi mulala okuggyako ogwo ogwateekebwawo, ye Yesu Kristo.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Naye Omuntu bw’aguzimbisaako ezaabu, effeeza, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo n’emiti, n’essubi, oba ebisasiro;
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.
omulimu gwa buli omu gulirabibwa, kubanga omuliro guligwolesa ku lunaku olwo, era omuliro ogwo gwe gulyoreka omulimu gwa buli omu nga bwe guli.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
Omuntu kye yazimba ku musingi ogwo bwe kirisigalawo, aliweebwa empeera.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Naye omulimu gw’omuntu yenna bwe gulyokebwa omuliro, alifiirwa, kyokka ye yennyini alirokolebwa, naye ng’ayita mu muliro.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Temumanyi nti mmwe muli yeekaalu ya Katonda era nga Omwoyo wa Katonda abeera mu mmwe?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Omuntu yenna azikiriza Yeekaalu ya Katonda, Katonda alizikiriza omuntu oyo; kubanga Yeekaalu ya Katonda ntukuvu, ye mmwe.
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)
Omuntu yenna teyeerimbalimbanga; omuntu yenna bwe yeerowoozanga okuba omugezi mu mmwe mu mirembe gino afuukenga musirusiru alyoke abeere omugezi. (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.”
Kubanga amagezi ag’ensi eno, bwe busirusiru eri Katonda. Kubanga kyawandiikibwa nti, “Akwatira abagezi mu nkwe zaabwe.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Era kyawandiikibwa nti, “Mukama amanyi ng’ebirowoozo by’abagezi temuli nsa.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Noolwekyo waleme kubaawo muntu n’omu yeenyumiririza mu bantu, kubanga byonna byammwe,
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
oba Pawulo oba Apolo oba Keefa oba nsi, oba bulamu, oba kufa, oba bintu ebya kaakano, oba ebijja, byonna byammwe,
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
nammwe muli ba Kristo, ne Kristo wa Katonda.
