1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
Nanye, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, nitalomele nemwe kuti lwa bhanu bhechinyamwoyo, nawe lwa bhanu bhechinyamubhili. Na lwa bhana bhalela 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,
Nabhanywesishe amata na jitali nyama, kulwokubha aliga mutemaliliye okulya jinyama. Na woli muchali kwimalilila.
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?
Kulwokubha emwe muchali bhachinyamubhili. Kulwokubha lifubha no kwikuya okubhonekana agati yemwe. Angu, mutakwikala okulubhana no mubhili, na angu, mutakulibhata lwakutyo jibheile abhana bhanu?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
Kulwokubha oumwi kaikati, “Enimulubha Paulo” Oundi kaikati “Enimulubha Apolo,” mutakwikala lwa bhana bhanu?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Apolo niga? na Paulo niga? Abhakosi bha unu mwikilisishe, bhuli unu Latabhugenyi ayanile okukola.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
Anye nayambile, Apolo natako amanji, nawe Nyamuanga nakusha.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Kulwejo, atalyati unu ayambile nolo unu ateeko amanji atana chona chona. Nawe ni Nyamuanga unu kakusha.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Woli unu kayamba na unu katako amanji bhona ni sawa, na bhuli umwi kalamila omuyelo okulubhana ne milimu jae.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
Kulwokubha eswe chili bhakosi bha Nyamuanga, emwe ni migunda ja Nyamuanga, inyumba ya Nyamuanga.
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.
Okusokana ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga chinu nayanibhwe kuti mumbaki mukulu, nateewo omusingi, no oundi nombaka ingulu yagwo. Nawe omunu nabhwe mulengelesi kutyo kombakako ingulu yae.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Kulwokubha atalio undi unu katula okumbaka omusingi ogundi okukila gunu gumbakilwe, gunu guli Yesu Kristo.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Woli, labha oumwi mwimwe kombaka ingulu yae kwa jijaabhu, Jiela, amabhui go bhugusi bhunene, amati, obhunyasi, nolo amabhabhi,
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.
omulimu gwae gulisululwa, kwo bhwelu bhwa mumwisi bhuliisulula. Kulwokubha ilisululwa no mulilo. Omulilo gulilegeja obhwekisi bhwo mulimu gwa bhuli munu kutyo akolele.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
Labha chona chona chinu omunu chinu ombakile chikasigala, omwene alibhona omuyelo.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Nawe labha omulimu gwo munu gukalungula kwo mulilo, atalibhona muyelo. Nawe omwene alichungulwa, lwakutyo kasoka mumulilo.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Mutakumenya ati emwe muli eyekalu lya Nyamuanga na ati Omwoyo gwa Nyamuanga gwikaye munda yemwe?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Labha omunu akalinyamula liyekalu lya Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kamunyamula omunu uliya. Kulwokubha liyekalu lya Nyamuanga ni lyelu, na kutyo nemwe.
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)
Omunu atajakwijiga omwene, labha wona wona mwimwe ketogelati ali no bhwengeso ku mwanya gunu, nabhe lwo “mumumu” niwo kabha mwengeso. (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.”
Kulwokubha obhwengeso bhwa kuchalo chinu ni bhumumu imbele ya Nyamuanga, Kulwokubha jandikilwe, “Kakoma abho bhwengeso kubhulige lige bhwebhwe”
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Na lindi “Latabhugenyi kamenya obhwiganilisha bhwa bhengeso ati ni bhutamu tamu.”
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
Kulwejo omunu ataja kwikuisha abhana bhanu! Kulwokubha ebhinu bhyona ni bhyemwe.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
Labha ni Paulo, nolo Apolo, nolo Kefa, nolo echalo, nolo obhulame, nolo lufu, nolo bhinu bhinu bhilio, nolo bhinu bhilibhao. Byona ni bhyemwe.
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
nemwe muli bha Kristo na Kristo niwa Nyamuanga.
