1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
Henu kuhusu michango kwa ndabha jha bhaumini, kama kyanajhelekisi mu makanisa gha Galatia, fefuefu mwilondeka kubhomba.
2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.
Khila ligono lya kubhwandelu lya wiki, khila mmonga bhinu abhekayi khenu fulani kando ni kukibheka, kama kyamwibhwesya. Mubhombayi naha ili kwamba kusijhi ni michango pa nihida.
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
Na panibetakuhida, jhejhioha jha mwibetakun'sala, nibetakundaghisya pamonga ni barua kuhomesya sadaka jha jhomu okho Yerusalemu.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
Ni kama jhibhwesekana ni nene kulota kabhele, bhibwta kulota pamonga ni nene.
5 I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
Lakini nibetakuhida kwa muenga panip'eta Makedonia. Kwa kujha nibeta kup'eta Makedonia.
6 But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
Labda nibhwesya kutama ni muenga au hata kumala majira gha mepu, ili kwama mubhwesiajhi kunitangatila mu safari jha nene, popoha pa nilota.
7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
Kwa kujha nitarajila lepi kubhabhona henu kwa muda bhufupi. Kwani nitumaini kutama ni muenga kwa muda fulani, kama Bwana ibetakuniruhusu.
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
Lakini nibetakutama Efeso mpaka Pentekoste,
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
kwa ndabha jha nene, ni kujhe ni maadui bhamehele bhabhakanip'enga.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
Henu bho Timotheo ihida, mubhonajhi kujha ajhe ni muenga bila kutila, ibhomba mahengu gha Bwana, kama kyanibhomba.
11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
Munu jhejhioha asin'jimuli. Muni'tangatilayi mu njela jha muene jha amani, ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kuhida kwa nene. Kwa kujha nikan'tarajila ahidayi pamonga ni bhalongo bhangu.
12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
Henu kuhusiana ni ndongobhitu Apolo. Nampelili muoyo nesu kubhagondela muenga pamonga ni bhalongobhangu. Lakini aamuili kubela kuhida henu. Hata naha, ibeta kuhida paibetakujha ni nafasi.
13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
Mujhelayi mihu, mujhemayi imara, mubhombayi kama bhagosi, mujhelayi ni nghofu.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
Basi ghoha gha mwibhomba ghabhombekayi mu bhupendo.
15 Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—
Mujhimanyili kaya jha Stefana. Mmanyili kujha bhajhele bhiamini bha kubhwandu okhu Akaya, ni kwamba bhakibhekili bhene mu huduma jha bhaamini. Ni henu nikabhasihi, kaka ni bhal'omb'o bhangu,
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
Mujhelayi mwebhanyenyekefu kwa bhanu kama abhu, ni kwa khila munu jhaitangatila mu mahengu ni bhabhomba mahengu pamonga ni tete.
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
Na nihobhuiki kwa ujio bhwa Stefana, Fotunato, ni Akiko. Bhajhemili mahali ambapo muenga mlondekeghe kujha.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
Kwa kujha bhajhihobhuisi roho jha nene ni muenga. Kwa hiyo henu, mubhamanyayi bhanu kama abha.
19 The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
Makanisa gha Asia bhalaghisi salamu kwa muenga. Akila ni Priska bhikabhaponesya kup'elela Bwana, pamonga ni kanisa lyalijhele kunyumba kwa bhene.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Kaka ni bhalombo bhangu bhoha bhakabhaponesya. Mukiponesiajhi kwa busu takatifu.
21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
Nene, Paulo, nilemba naha kwa kibhokho kya jhoni.
22 If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!
Kama jhejhioha an'ganilepi Bwana, basi laani ijhelayi panani pa muene. Bwana bhitu, hidayi!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Neema jha Bwana Yesu ijhelayi namu.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Luganu lwa nene lujhelayi pamonga ni muenga kup'etela Yesu Kristu.
