1 Abhakorintho 1

1 Paulo, unu abhilikilwaga na Kristo Yesu kubha mutumwa owe lyenda lya Nyamuanga, na Sosthene muili weswe,

Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 kwi kanisa lya Nyamuanga linu lili Korintho, kubhanu bhauhye ku Yesu Kristo, bhanu bhabhilikiwe kubha bhanu bhelu. Echibhandikila bhona bhanu abhalikusha lisina lya Lata Bugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo mbala jona, Latabhugenyi webhwe neswe.

to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;

3 Echigongo no mulembe gubhe kwemwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga lata weswe na ku Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.

grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Nsiku jona enimusima Nyamuanga wani ingulu yemwe, kwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga unu Kristo Yesu abhayanile.

I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus;

5 Abhakolele kubha bhanibhi ku bhuli njila, kunyaika amwi no bhwengeso bhwona.

that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge,

6 Abhakolele kubha bhanibhi, lwakutyo obhubhambasi ingulu ya Kristo kutyo obhwolesha echimali agati yemwe.

as the testimony of Christ was established among you;

7 Kulwejo mutakulebhelelwa amabhando ga mumioyo, lwakutyo muli ne lyenda lyo kulinda obhusuluko bhwa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.

so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 Kabhasimbagilisha emwe okukinga kubhutelo, koleleki musige kubha ne solo kulusiku lwa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.

who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Nyamuanga ni mulengelesi unu abhabhilikiye emwe kubhusangisi bhwo Mwana wae, Yesu Kristo Latabhugenyi weswe.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Woli enibhasabhwa abhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, okulabhila kwisina lya Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, koleleki bhona mwikilishe, na kutabhamo kwaulana agati yemwe. Enibhasabhwa mugwatane amwi mu kwiganilisha no kulwaja kumwi.

But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 Kulwokubha abhanu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhabwiliye bhulimo obhwaulani bhunu obhugendelela amwi mwimwe.

For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you.

12 Nina insonga inu: Bhuli umwi kwimwe kaikati, “Anye nili wa Paulo, “amwi “Anye liwa Apolo,”amwi ati, Anye nili wa Kefa” amwi ati, Anye nili wa Kristo”.

What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Angu! Kristo agabhanyikene? Angu! Paulo abhambilwe kulwainjuno yemwe? Angu! mwabhatijibhwe kwi Sina lya Paulo?

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized the name of Paul?

14 Enimusima Nyamuanga kulwokubha nitamubhatijishe wona wona, tali Krispo na Gayo.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 Jinu jabhee kutya atalio wona wona unu akaikile ati mwabhatijibhwe kwi sina lyani.

that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name.

16 (Nalindi nabhatijishe abhamunyumba ya Stephania. Okukila awo, ntakumenyati nabhatijishe munu undi wona wona).

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; I am not aware that I baptized any one besides.

17 Kulwokubha, Kristo atantumile kubhatija tali okulasha emisango jo bhwana. Atantumile okulasha kwe misango kwo bhwengeso bhwe chinyamubhili, koleleki amanaga go musalabha gwa Kristo gusige kusosibhwao.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 Kulwokubha omusango gwo musalabha ni bhumumu ku bhanu abhafwa. Nawe kubhanu Nyamuanga kakisha, ni managa ga Nyamuanga.

For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.

19 Kulwokubha Jandikilwe, “Eninyamula obhwengeso bhwa bhobhwenge. Eninyamula obhwiganilisha bhwa abhobhwenge.”

For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning.”

20 Alyaki omunu wo bhwengeso? Alyaki omunu wo bhwenge? Alyaki omwaiki no mukongya we chalo chinu? Angu, Nyamuanga atainduye obhwengeso bhwa insi inu kubha bhumumu? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

21 Okwambila insi inu nibha nobhwengeso bhwayo itamumenyele Nyamuanga, jabhee ja bhwana ku Nyamuanga kubhumumu bhwebhwe obhwokulasha koleleki okuchungula bhanu abhekilisha.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;

22 Ku Bhayahudi abhabhusha ebhijejekanyo bhye bhilugusho na Abhayunani abhayenja obhwengeso.

since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

23 Nawe echimulasha Kristo unu abhambilwe, unu ali chikujulo ku Bhayaudi na nibhumumu ku Bhayunani.

but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling-block, and to gentiles foolishness,

24 Nawe kubhanu bhabhilikiwe na Nyamuanga, Abhayaudi na Bhayunani, echimulasha Kristo lwa amanaga no bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Kulwokubha obhumumu bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli no bhwengeso okukila obhwomwana munu, no bhulenga bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli na managa okukila obhwomwana munu.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Lola okubhilikila kwa Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu. Jitali ati agati yemwe yaliga muli bhengeso mu bhana bhanu. Jitalyati aliga muna amanaga. Jitalyati mwebhuhye mu bhukulu.

For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;

27 Nawe Nyamuanga asolele ebhinu ebhimumu ebyakuchalo kunu okubhiswasha ebhyo bwengeso. Nyamuanga asolele chinu chaliga chili chilenga ochiswasha echamanaga.

but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong;

28 Nyamuanga asolele chinu chaliga chili chemwalo na chinu chagahyaga kuchalo kunu. Asolele nebhinu bhinu bhitabhalwagwa kubha na chibhalo, kwo kubhikola kubhulwa chibhalo ebhinu bhinu bhyaliga bhili ne chibhalo.

and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;

29 Akolele kutyo asige kubhao wona wona unu kekuya imbele yae.

that no flesh might glory before God.

30 Kulwa insonga ya chinu Nyamuanga akolele, woli muli munda ya Kristo Yesu, unu akolelwe kubha mwengeso ingulu yeswe okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Aliga ali chimali cheswe, obhwelu no bhuchungusi.

But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;

31 Lwakutyo, lwakutyo amandiko agaika, “Unu kekuya, asige okwikuya ku Latabhugenyi.”

that, according as it is written, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
