1 Abhakorintho 3
1 Nanye, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, nitalomele nemwe kuti lwa bhanu bhechinyamwoyo, nawe lwa bhanu bhechinyamubhili. Na lwa bhana bhalela mu Kristo.
And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.
2 Nabhanywesishe amata na jitali nyama, kulwokubha aliga mutemaliliye okulya jinyama. Na woli muchali kwimalilila.
I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:
3 Kulwokubha emwe muchali bhachinyamubhili. Kulwokubha lifubha no kwikuya okubhonekana agati yemwe. Angu, mutakwikala okulubhana no mubhili, na angu, mutakulibhata lwakutyo jibheile abhana bhanu?
for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?
4 Kulwokubha oumwi kaikati, “Enimulubha Paulo” Oundi kaikati “Enimulubha Apolo,” mutakwikala lwa bhana bhanu?
For when one may say, I am indeed of Paul; another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?
5 Apolo niga? na Paulo niga? Abhakosi bha unu mwikilisishe, bhuli unu Latabhugenyi ayanile okukola.
Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.
6 Anye nayambile, Apolo natako amanji, nawe Nyamuanga nakusha.
I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 Kulwejo, atalyati unu ayambile nolo unu ateeko amanji atana chona chona. Nawe ni Nyamuanga unu kakusha.
So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.
8 Woli unu kayamba na unu katako amanji bhona ni sawa, na bhuli umwi kalamila omuyelo okulubhana ne milimu jae.
But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 Kulwokubha eswe chili bhakosi bha Nyamuanga, emwe ni migunda ja Nyamuanga, inyumba ya Nyamuanga.
For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.
10 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.
According to the grace of God which was given unto me, I as a wise architect, laid the foundation; and another builds on it. Let each one take heed how he builds.
11 Kulwokubha atalio undi unu katula okumbaka omusingi ogundi okukila gunu gumbakilwe, gunu guli Yesu Kristo.
For other foundation no one is able to lay beside the one which is laid, who is Jesus Christ.
12 Woli, labha oumwi mwimwe kombaka ingulu yae kwa jijaabhu, Jiela, amabhui go bhugusi bhunene, amati, obhunyasi, nolo amabhabhi,
But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 omulimu gwae gulisululwa, kwo bhwelu bhwa mumwisi bhuliisulula. Kulwokubha ilisululwa no mulilo. Omulilo gulilegeja obhwekisi bhwo mulimu gwa bhuli munu kutyo akolele.
the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.
14 Labha chona chona chinu omunu chinu ombakile chikasigala, omwene alibhona omuyelo.
And if the work of any one which he builds, abides, he will receive a reward:
15 Nawe labha omulimu gwo munu gukalungula kwo mulilo, atalibhona muyelo. Nawe omwene alichungulwa, lwakutyo kasoka mumulilo.
But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.
16 Mutakumenya ati emwe muli eyekalu lya Nyamuanga na ati Omwoyo gwa Nyamuanga gwikaye munda yemwe?
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 Labha omunu akalinyamula liyekalu lya Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kamunyamula omunu uliya. Kulwokubha liyekalu lya Nyamuanga ni lyelu, na kutyo nemwe.
If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.
18 Omunu atajakwijiga omwene, labha wona wona mwimwe ketogelati ali no bhwengeso ku mwanya gunu, nabhe lwo “mumumu” niwo kabha mwengeso. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Kulwokubha obhwengeso bhwa kuchalo chinu ni bhumumu imbele ya Nyamuanga, Kulwokubha jandikilwe, “Kakoma abho bhwengeso kubhulige lige bhwebhwe”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 Na lindi “Latabhugenyi kamenya obhwiganilisha bhwa bhengeso ati ni bhutamu tamu.”
And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Kulwejo omunu ataja kwikuisha abhana bhanu! Kulwokubha ebhinu bhyona ni bhyemwe.
So let no one boast among men; for all things are yours;
22 Labha ni Paulo, nolo Apolo, nolo Kefa, nolo echalo, nolo obhulame, nolo lufu, nolo bhinu bhinu bhilio, nolo bhinu bhilibhao. Byona ni bhyemwe.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come.
23 nemwe muli bha Kristo na Kristo niwa Nyamuanga.
All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
