1 Corinthians 4
1 So think of us as Christ's servants given the responsibility for “the mysteries of God.”
Eshi umuntu aliwazwe ante aje wawomba mbombo wa Kristi wemelezi hwa siri zya Ngolobhe.
2 More than this, those who have such responsibilities are required to be trustworthy.
Hueli shashihwaziwa huwemelezi huje wawe wasuwelwa.
3 Personally it hardly matters to me if you or anyone else judges me—in fact I don't even judge myself.
Ila huline ane hantu hadodo hani aje ilongwa namwe, au indongwa ya awantu. Aje sagaihujilonga ane nimwene.
4 I don't know of anything I've done wrong, but that doesn't make me morally right. It's the Lord who judges me.
Saga ihujilonga ni mwene ane sagaje ane indi nuugolosu yu Bwana yahundonga.
5 So don't judge anything before the right time—when the Lord comes. He will bring to light all the darkest secrets that are hidden, and he will reveal people's motives. God will give everyone whatever praise they deserve.
Eshi msahatamshe liolionti ilya lonje shagasele amasala gahwezye uBwana. Ahaigalete apazeru amambo gagafisilwe mhinsi na hugaweshe pazelu gahumoyo. Wekaweka ahaiposhela imbombo zyakwe afume hua Ngolobhe.
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied this to Apollos and myself as an example for you. That way you will learn not to go beyond what has been written, and not in arrogance prefer one over the other.
Eshi muasahala muwalendu wane ane ni mwene nu Apolo inshilie idala eli kwaajili yenyu. Aje afume humwetu muwajie amanyile injango usahawale hanii shazyandihwe, “Huje nomo hataweka yali na malingo hwa wamwawo.
7 Who made you so special? What do you have that you weren't given? Since you were given it, why do you proudly claim you weren't?
Eshi yunanu yahwenye payo nu wamwao? Henu ulinaho awe, saga uhaposheye wene? Nkuhaposheye nkasanga mwahawombile esho?
8 You think you have all you need. You think you're so wealthy. You think you're kings already, and don't need us. I wish you were really ruling as kings, so we could rule with you!
Shatayari mlinavyo vyonti vyamwanzanga! Shatayari mliwakami! Shamwandile atawale-aje mkhente haani ashile ate! Lioli, ihuwalawila mkhate uwinza aje tikhante peka namwe.
9 The way I see it, God has put us apostles on display as the last in the line, condemned to die. We have been made a public show before the entire universe, to angels and to human beings.
Isewa aje Ungolobhe atiweshele ate awe watume hutuloleshie uumalishilo usitari wa makutanilo aje wantu wawalongwilwe abudye. Tilije watamasha munsi, awatumihwawantu.
10 We're Christ's fools, but you are so wise in Christ! We're the weak ones, but you are so strong! You have the glory, but we are despised!
Ate lilinje walema hwa Kristi, lakini ninyi ni wenye hekima katika Kristo. Tu wanyonge, lakini amwe mlini naha mlinishishima, lakini ate watisyosyezye.
11 Right up till now we're hungry and thirsty. We have no clothes. We're badly beaten up, and we have no place to call home.
Hata isala ezi tihinizala na tumele, sagatilina menda, tukhomwa, sagatuli napakhale.
12 We struggle on doing manual work. When people curse us, we bless them. When they persecute us, we put up with it.
Tuwomba imbombo hani hu nyowezyetu tetete. Watisosyezye, tihuwasaya.
13 When they insult us, we respond with kindness. Even now we are treated like dirt, the worst trash in the whole world.
Lwatilawa tujimba. Lwatilingwa tupoma myee. Tileho, wahutiwazizya aje sagatuleho munsi tilitakataka humambo gonti.
14 I'm not writing like this to make you feel ashamed, but to caution you as my children whom I love so much.
Sagaihwandia amambo ego huwasosye ila huwagomosye amwe avye wana wane wimbaganile.
15 Even though you may have thousands of Christian instructors, you don't have many fathers—it was in Christ Jesus that I became your father when I shared the good news with you.
Hata nkhamli wafundizi winchi hwa Kristi, sagamlina wadaada winchi. Ane indi daada wenyu hwa Yesu Ukristi ashilile inzwi.
16 So I'm pleading with you to imitate me!
Eshi ihumbalawa mfuante ane.
17 That's why I sent Timothy to you, my trustworthy son in the Lord who I love so much. He will remind you about the way I follow Christ, just as I always teach in every church I visit.
Esho shanahazanga aje itume uTimotheo humwenyu yigene ane mwana ugolosu hwa Bwana. Anza huwawuzisye amadala gane hwa Yesu nanzi shimanyizya iviwanza vivileho ponti.
18 Some among you have become arrogant, thinking I wouldn't bother coming to see you.
Eshi awamo walinamalingo wawomba aje sangainza humwenyu.
19 But I am coming to visit you soon, if that's what the Lord wants. Then I'll find out what these arrogant people are saying, and what kind of power they have.
Ane ihuenza humwenyu shishi uBwana nkasongwe. Hwinzamanye aje sanganjango zyao wene wawalina malingo, imbalahuzyenye ingovu zyao.
20 For the kingdom of God is not about mere words, but about power.
Umwene wa Ngolobhe sangaulini njago wene uwene uliwi ngovu.
21 So what do you want? Shall I come with a stick to beat you, or in love and a gentle spirit?
Mhwanza yenu? Inenze nu desa au inenze nu ulugano wa Ipepo inyinza iya pumu?
