1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
Efe ndifyo munu atubhalangili tete, kama bhatumishi bha Kristu ni bhawakilishi bha siri sa ukueli sa K'yara.
2 And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
Katika ele, kakilondeka kwa uwakili ni kwamba bhayele bha kutumainibhwa.
3 As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
Lakini kwanene nene ni khenu kidebe sana kuya nihukumiwa ni muenga au hukumu ya kibinadamu. Kwa ndabha nikihukumu lepi hata nene na muene.
4 For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
Nihukumulepi nene na muene, eye iyelepi ni maana kuwa nene niyele ni haki. Ni Bwana yakanihukumu.
5 Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkenesse, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall euery man haue praise of God.
Henu, mkolokutama hukumu juu ya lilyoha lhela kabla ya wakati, kabla ya kuhida kwa Bwana. ilotakuleta munuru mambo ghaghafihiki mugiza ni kufunula makusudi gha mioyo. Ndipo khila mmonga ilotakupokela sifa sa muene kuhomela kwa K'yara.
6 Nowe these things, brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto mine owne selfe and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man presume aboue that which is written, that one swell not against another for any mans cause.
Henu, kaka ni dada yangu, nene na muene ni Apolo nitumili kanuni ese kwa ajili ya yhomo. Ili kwamba kuhoma kwatete mwibhuesya kujifunza maana gha lusumu, “Kolokulota zaidi ya kakiyandikibhu.” Eye ni kwamba kuyele mmonga wa yhomo yaki yakiunila juu ya yhongi.
7 For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued? if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it?
Maana ni niani yaibhona tofauti kati ya muenga ni yhongi? Ni kiki kauyenaku kawapokili bure? Kamaumalikupokela bure, kwandayakiki mwikifuna kama mwaketili naha?
8 Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made rich: ye reigne as kings without vs, and would to God ye did reigne, that we also might reigne with you.
Tayari myenafu fhoha ambafyo ngamwilonda! Tayari muyele ni utajiri! Muyandili kutawala - na kwamba mwimiliki zaidi ya tete tayhotho! Kueli, nikabhatakila umiliki unofu ili kwamba tumilikiai pamonga ni muenga.
9 For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gasing stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men.
Kwa henu nidhani K'yara atubhekili tete mitume kama atuvasiri wa muishu mu mustari wa maandamano ni kama bhanu bhabhahukumibhu kukhomibhwa. Tuyele kama tamasha kwa ulimwengu, kwa malaika na kwa bhanadamu.
10 We are fooles for Christes sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weake, and ye are strong: ye are honourable, and we are despised.
Tete ni bhajinga kwa ajili ya Kristu, lakini muenga ni bhabhayele ni hekima mu Kristu. Tu bhanyonge, lakinimuenga muyele ni nghofho. Mwiheshimibhwa, lakini tete tidharaulibhwa.
11 Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
Hata saa eye tuyele ni njala ni kiu, tuyelepi ni nghofho, tiyele ni mapigo, kabhele tiyelepi ni pakuishi.
12 And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
Tifuanya mbombo kwa bidii, kwa mabhokho ghayhotho ka bhene. Pathidharaulibhwa, tibalikibhwa, Wakati ptitesibhwa, tivumilila.
13 We are euill spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offskowring of all things, vnto this time.
Patilighibhwa, tikelebhusya kwa upole, tiyele, ni tukakhona tibhalangibhwa kuwa kama kutawala ni dunia ni takataka kwa mambo ghoha.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
Nujandikilepi mambo agha kubhaaibisya muenga, lakini kubhakerebhukila muenga kama bhana bha nene yanibhaganili.
15 For though ye haue tenne thousand instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: for in Christ Iesus I haue begotten you through the Gospel.
Hata kama muyele ni bhalim makumi elfu mu Kristu, bhayelepi bha dadi bhingi kwa ndabha nijele dadi yhinu mu Yesu Kristu kuphetela injili.
16 Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
Henu nikabhasihi mnigai nene.
17 For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, which is my beloued sonne, and faithfull in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my wayes in Christ as I teache euery where in euery Church.
Eyu ndiyo sababu namtumili kwa yhomo Timotheo, mpendwa wa nene ni muana mwaminifu mu Bwana. Ilotakubhakhombosya njela syangu mu Kristu, kama kanifundisya kila mahali ni khila kanisa.
18 Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
Henu baadhi ya muenga bhikisifu bhikikheta, kana kwamba nihida lepi kwa muenga.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will knowe, not the wordes of them which are puffed vp, but the power.
Lakini nilota kuhida kwa yhomo kitambo, kama Bwana akaganai. Ndipo nilotakumanya si malobhi gha bhene tu bhabhikisifu, lakini nilota kubhona nghofho sa bhene.
20 For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
Kwa ndabha Ufalme wa K'yara wiyalepi mu malobhi bali mu nghofho.
21 What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?
Mwilonda kiki? Nihida kwa yhomo ni ndonga au kwa upendo ni katika roho ya upole?
