1 Wakorintho 1
1 Paulo, yakutibhwai ni Kristu kujha mtume kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, ni Sosthene ndongo bhitu,
Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 kwa kanisa laliyele Korintho kwa bhala ambabho bhabhekuu wakfu katika Yesu Kristu. Ambobho bhakutibhu kujha bhanu bhatakatifu. Tikabhayandikhila kabhele bhala bhoa bhabhakalikutila lihina Bwana bhwa tete Yesu Kristu katika mahali poha, Bwana wa bhene ni watete.
to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
3 Neema ni amani ujelai kwa yhomo kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi yhitu ni Bwana wa yhoto Yesu Kristu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Magono ghoha nikanshukuru K'yara wanene kwa ajiri ya yhomo, kwa ndabha ya neema ya K'yara ambajho Kristu Yesu abhapelili.
I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
5 Abhafuanyiri kuya matajiri mu khila njela, katika usemi ni pamonga maarifa ghoha.
that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
6 Abhafuanyiri matajiri, kama ushuhuda kuhusu Kristu ya kwamba asibitishwi kuya kweli miongoni mwa yhomo.
even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 Henu mwiphonghokiwa lefi karama sa kiroho, kama mkiyele ni hamu ya kulendelela ufunuo wa Bwana watete Yesu Kristu.
so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
8 Ilotakubhaimarisha muenga kabhele hadi kumwishu, ili mkolokulaumibhwa ligono lya Bwana watete Yesu Kristu.
who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 k'yara ni mwaminifu ambayi abhakutili muenga mu ushirika wa mwana munu, Yesu Kristu Bwana watete.
God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
10 Henu nikabhasihi bhakaka ni bhadada yangu, kuphetela lihina lya Bwana watete Yesu Kristu, kwamba bhoha muyedekai, na kwamba kukolokuya ni mugawanyiko miongoni mwayhomo. Nikabhasihi kwamba muungane pamonga mu nia imonga na katika kusudi limonga.
Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.
11 Kwani bhanu bha nyumba ya Kloe bhanitaarifu kuya kuyele mgawanyiko wiyeudelela miongoni mwayhomo.
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.
12 Niyele nimaana eye: Khila mmonga wayhomo ijobha, “Nene ni wa Paulo,” au “Nene ni wa Apolo”, au “Nene ni wa Kefa” au “Nene ni wa Kristu”.
Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
13 Je! Kristu agawanyiki? Je! Paulo asulibibhu kwa ajiri yatete? Je! Abatisibhu kwa lihina lya Paulo?
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Nikanshukuru K'yara kwa ndabha nambatisilepi yeyoha yhola, isipokuwa Krispo na Gayo.
I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Eye yayele kwamba ayelelepi yeywoha yhola ngajobhili mwabatisibhu kwa lihina lya nene.
so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
16 (Kabhele nabhabatisi bha nyumba ya Stephania. Zaidi ya apabahu, nimanyili lepi kama nabatisi munu yhongi yeywoha yhola).
(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
17 Kwa ndabha, Kristu anitumilepi kubatisya bali kuhubiri injili. Anitumilepi kuhubiri kwa malobhi gha hekima gha kibinadamu, ili kwamba nghofho ya msalaba wa Kristu ikolokubhosibhwa.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.
18 Kwa ndabha ujumbe wa msalaba ni upuuzi kwa bhala bhabhifwa. Lakini kwa bhala ambabho K'yara akabhaokola, ni nghofho ya K'yara.
For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Nilotakuiharibu hekima yabhabhayele ni busara. Nilota kuharibu ufahamu wa bhayele ni akili.”
For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
20 Ayele ndaku munu yayele ni busara? Ayendaku yayele ni elimu? Ayendaku nsemaji nshawishi wa dunia eye? Je, K'yara aigeuzi lepi hekima ya dunia eye kuya ujinga? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
21 Tangu dunia iyele mu hekima ya muene yammanyililepi K'yara, yampendisi K'yara mu ujinga wa bhene wa kuhubiri ili kuokola bhala bhabhiamini.
For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
22 Kwa Bhayahudi bhikota ishara sa miujiza ni kwa bhayunani bhilonda hekima.
For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
23 Lakini tikamhubiri Kristu yasulibibhu yayele kikwazo kwa bhayahudi na ni ujinga kwa bhayunani.
but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
24 Lakini kwa bhala ambabho bhabhakutibhu ni K'yara, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, tikamhubiri Kristo kama nghofho ni hekima ya K'yara.
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Kwa ndabha ujinga wa k'yara iyele ni hekima kuliko ya bhanadamu, ni udhaifu wa K'yara uyele ni nghofho zaidi ya bhanadamu.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
26 Mulangayi wito wa K'yara yhomo, bhakaka ni bhadada bhangu. Si bhingi kati ya yhomo ni hekima hekima mu fiwango fya kibinadamu. Si bhingi kati ya yhomo mwahogoliki mu ukuu.
For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
27 Lakini K'yara achaguili fhenu fijinga fya dunia ili kufiaibisya kakujele ni nghofho.
But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.
28 K'yara achaguili khela kakujele kya hali ya pasi na kakidharaulibhu mu dunia. Achaguili hata fhenu ambafyo fabelili kubhalangibhwa kuya khenu, kwa kukifuanya sikhenu fhenu fafujele ni samani.
And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,
29 Afuanyili naha ili akolokuya yeywoha yhola yaayele ni sababu ya kwifuna mbele sa muene.
that no flesh might boast before God.
30 Kwa ndabha ya khela K'yara kaakhetili, henu muyele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu, ambajhe afuanyiki hekima kwa ajili yatete kuhoma kwa K'yara. Ayele haki yetete, utakatifu ni ukombozi.
And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 Kama matokeo, kama andiko likijobha, “Yakisifu, ajisifwai katika Bwana.”
so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
