1 Wakorintu 1

1 Neni Paulu yawanshemiti kuwera ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu na mlongu muyetu Sosteni.

Paul, called as an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God; and Sosthenes, a brother:

2 Twankuwalembelerani mwenga yamuwera shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku lushi lwa Korintu. Mwenga mtendwa wananagala toziya mulikolerana pamuhera na Yesu Kristu, mshemitwi muweri wantu wa Mlungu, pamuhera na wantu woseri kila pahala pawamguwira Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, yakawera Mtuwa gwawu na gwetu viraa.

to the Church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints with all who are invoking the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and of ours.

3 Manemu na ponga ya Mlungu Tati gwetu na ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Mashaka goseri numgambira Mlungu mayagashii kwajili ya mwenga, toziya ya manemu gakawapananiti mwenga kupitira Yesu Kristu.

I give thanks to my God continuously for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.

5 Toziya kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu muwera walunda mukila shintu. Mpananwa kutakula na kumana.

By that grace, in all things, you have become wealthy in him, in every word and in all knowledge.

6 Ujumbi kuusu Kristu wanakaka mngati mwenu.

And so, the testimony of Christ has been strengthened in you.

7 Hangu mpungukiwitwi ndiri lifupu lyoseri lyampananitwi na Rohu Mnanagala, pamuwera mwankuhepera kugubutulwa kwakuwi Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.

In this way, nothing is lacking to you in any grace, as you await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Nayomberi hakawagangamaziyi mwenga mpaka upeleru, mpati kuwoneka pota na ukondola mulishaka lilii lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.

And he, too, will strengthen you, even until the end, without guilt, until the day of the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Mlungu yakawera mwaminika, kawashemiti mwenga muweri pamuhera na Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu, Mtuwa gwetu.

God is faithful. Through him, you have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Wantu yawamjimira Yesu wayangu, nuwaluweni kwa litawu lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, mulijimilirani mukila shintu shamtakula, su nakuwera malekaniru pakati pa mwenga. Mulikolerani nakamu pamuwera na liholu limu na nfiru yimu.

And so, I beg you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that every one of you speak in the same way, and that there be no schisms among you. So may you become perfect, with the same mind and with the same judgment.

11 Wantu yawamjimira Yesu wayangu, wantu wamonga kulawa kwa kaya ya Kloyi, wang'ambira kuwera mwenga mwankulirewa.

For it has been indicated to me, about you, my brothers, by those who are with Chloes, that there are contentions among you.

12 Neni nfira kutakula shampikiniriti kulawa pakati pa mwenga, yumu kalonga, “Neni gwa Paulu”, Yumonga kalonga “Neni gwa Apolu”, Na yumonga kalonga, “Neni gwa Peteru.” Kwa litawu lya Shigiriki wamshema Kefa, na yumonga kalonga, “Neni gwa Kristu.”

Now I say this because each of you is saying: “Certainly, I am of Paul;” “But I am of Apollo;” “Truly, I am of Cephas;” as well as: “I am of Christ.”

13 Hashi, Kristu kabagulika? Hashi, Paulu ndo yawampingikiti kwajili ya Mwenga? Ama hashi, mbatizitwi gambira ntumintumi gwa Paulu?

Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Mayagashii Mlungu toziya numubatiziti ndiri muntu yoseri pakati penu, kumbiti hera Krispu na Gayu.

I give thanks to God that I have baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Su kwahera muntu yakaweza kutakula kuwera mwenga wakubatizeni kwa litawu lyaneni.

lest anyone say that you have been baptized in my name.

16 Nulihola, vilaa numubatiziti Stefana na kaya yakuwi, kumbiti mani panumbatiziti muntu gwingi.

And I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Other than these, I do not recall if I baptized any others.

17 Kristu kantumiti ndiri kubatiza, kumbiti nuwabweleri wantu Shisoweru Shiwagira, kayi nushibweri pota na kutendera luhala lwa mbweru za wantu, su makakala ga kuhowa kwa Kristu palupingika nagawoneki kuweri shintu ndiri.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to evangelize: not through the wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ become empty.

18 Toziya ujumbi wa kuhowa kwa Kristu palupingika kuwera uzigizigi kwa wantu yawagamira, kumbiti kwa twenga yatulopoziwa, ujumbi awu ndo makakala ga Mlungu.

For the Word of the Cross is certainly foolishness to those who are perishing. But to those who have been saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

19 Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Aharibisiyi luhala lwa yawawera na luhala, Na mahala ga wantu hanyasili kutali.”

For it has been written: “I will perish the wisdom of the wise, and I will reject the discernment of the prudent.”

20 Su kakoshi yakawera na luhala? Hashi, kakoshi mfunda gwa malagaliru? Hashi, kakoshi shikambaku gwa kutakuziyana gwa pasipanu? Mlungu kulanguziyiti kuwera luhala lwa pasipanu lyahera mahala. (aiōn g165)

Where are the wise? Where are the scribes? Where are the truth-seekers of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)

21 Toziya kwa luhala lwa Mlungu, wantu hapeni wammani Mlungu kwa njira ya luhala lwawu weni. Mlungu kafiriziwiti kuwalopoziya wantu yawajimira kupitira shizyigizyigi shatuwabwerera.

For the world did not know God through wisdom, and so, in the wisdom of God, it pleased God to accomplish the salvation of believers, through the foolishness of our preaching.

22 Wayawudi wafira lilangaliru handa shilangaliru, Wagiriki wankusakula luhala.

For the Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom.

23 Kumbiti twenga twankumbwera Kristu yawampingikiti. Kwa Wayawudi shitwatira ashi shiwera shileweleru na kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi shiwera shizyigizyigi,

But we are preaching Christ crucified. Certainly, to the Jews, this is a scandal, and to the Gentiles, this is foolishness.

24 kumbiti kwa walii yawashemitwi na Mlungu, Wayawudi pamuhera na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, Kristu ndo likakala lya Mlungu na luhala lwa Mlungu.

But to those who have been called, Jews as well as Greeks, the Christ is the virtue of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Toziya shashiwoneka kuwera uzigizigi wa Mlungu, shiwera na luhala kuliku luhala lwa muntu, na shilii shashiwoneka shahera makakala ga Mlungu, shiwera na likakala kuliku likakala lya muntu.

For what is foolishness to God is considered wise by men, and that which is weakness to God is considered strong by men.

26 Wantu yawamjimira Yesu wayangu, vinu muliholi Mlungu pakawashema, wavuwa wenu waweriti ndiri na luhala lwa munshimba na wantu wavuwa ndiri yawawera na makakala na wantu wavua ndiri yawawera na ukulu.

So take care of your vocation, brothers. For not many are wise according to the flesh, not many are powerful, not many are noble.

27 Kumbiti Mlungu kavisyaguliti vitwatira vyaviwoneka pasipanu kuwera vizigizigi, su kawasoniziyi wantu yawawera na luhala na Mlungu kavisyaguliti vitwatira vilii pasipanu viwoneka legilegi, su kawasoniziyi wantu yayawera na makakala.

But God has chosen the foolish of the world, so that he may confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak of the world, so that he may confound the strong.

28 Mlungu kavisyagula vitwatira vilii pasipanu viwoneka vyavifaa ndiri na vyawavizarawu, su kavihalabisiyi vilii vyaviwoneka na wantu kuwera shintu shikulu.

And God has chosen the ignoble and contemptible of the world, those who are nothing, so that he may reduce to nothing those who are something.

29 Su kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweza kulitumbira shoseri kulongolu kwa Mlungu.

So then, nothing that is of the flesh should glory in his sight.

30 Kumbiti Mlungu ndo yakawakolelerani pamuhera na Yesu Kristu. Mlungu kamtenditi Kristu kaweri luhala lwetu, kwa njira yakuwi twenga tutendwa waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu, tuweri wantu wananagala wa Mlungu na kulopoziwa.

But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who was made by God to be our wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption.

31 Su Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Yakafira kulitumbira, kalitumbiri Mtuwa ntambu yakatenda.”

And so, in the same way, it was written: “Whoever glories, should glory in the Lord.”
