1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
NI nenga, ainja ni alombo bango, nibayite kwaa ninenga kati bandu bakiroho, lakini kati ni bandu ba yega. Katu ni bana bachunu 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,
Nibanyweishe maziwa na nyama kwaa, ka mana mubile kwaa tayari kwa lyaa nyama. Na hata nambeambe mubile kwaa tayari.
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?
Kwa kuwa mwenga bado ba yega. Kwa kuwa bwiu ni majiuno yatibinekana nkati yinu. Je mutama kwaa lingana na yega, ni je, mutyanga kwaa kati kawaida ya bandu?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
Kwa mana yumo abaya, “Namkengama Paulo” Ywenge ubaya, “Nampala Apolo,” mutama kwaa kati bandu?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Apolo ywa nyai? na Paulo ywa nyai? Amanda ba yolo ywamwaminiye, kwa kila ambaye Ngwana ampeile lijukumu.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
Nenga nipandike, Apolo abeka mase, lakini Nnongo kaikuza.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Kwa eyo, ywabile kwaa panda wala ywabeka mase abile ni chochote. Lakini Nnongo ywaikuzile.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Nambeambe ywapandae ni ywabeka mase bote ni sawa, ni kila yumo alowa pata ujira wake lingana na kazi yake.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
Kwa kuwa twenga twa atendaji ba Nnongo, mwenga mwa bustani ya Nnongo, nyumba ya Nnongo.
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.
Bokana na neema ya Nnongo yanipeilwe kati mjenzi nkolo, naubekite msingi, ni ywenge ywachengite nnani yake. Lakini mundu abe makini jinsi ywachenga nnani yake.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
kwa kuwa ntopo ywenge ywaweza chenga msingi wenge zaidi ya uchengwite, ambao ni Yesu.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Nambeambe, kati yumo winu achenga nnani yake kwa dhahabu, mbanje ya thamani, nkongo, manyei, au manyei,
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.
Kazi yake iyowanike, kwa bweya wa mutwekati walowa dhihirika. Kwa kuwa yalowa dhihirika ni mwoto. Mwoto walowa jaribu ubora wa kazi ya kila yumo apangite.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
Kati chochote mundu ywachengite chalowa tama, ywembe alowa pata zawadi.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Lakini kati kazi ya mundu yatitinia kwa mwoto, alowa pata hasara. Lakini ywembe mwene alowa lopolelwa, kati yakuepuka ni mwoto.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Mutangite kwaa kuwa mwenga ni lihekalu lya Nnongo ni kwamba Roho wa Nnongo atama nkati yinu?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Kati mundu ywaliharibu lihekalu lya Nnongo, Nnongo alowa kumwaribu mundu yoo. Kwa mana lihekalu lya Nnongo ni litakatifu, nga nyoo ni mwenga.
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 alongele ubocho kwaa mwene, kati yeyote nkati mwinu anadhani abile ni hekima mu'nyakati zino, ube kati “mlalo” nga apalikwa kuwa na hekima. (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.”
Kwa kuwa hekima ya dunia yee ni ulalo nnonge ya Nnongo, kwa kuwa iandikilwe, “Hubanasa babile ni hekima kwa hila zabe.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Ni kae “Ngwana atangite malango ga babile ni busara ni ubatili.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Nga nyo mundu aipunie kwaa bandu! kwa mana ilebe yote ni yinu.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
Kati ni Paulo, au Apolo, au Kefa, au dunia, au maisha, au kiwo, au ilebe yaibile, au yalowa tama. Yote ni yinu,
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
ni mwenga ni ba Kristo na Kristo ni ba Nnongo.
