1 Wakorintu 1
1 Neni Paulu yawanshemiti kuwera ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu na mlongu muyetu Sosteni.
Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his 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 at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.
3 Manemu na ponga ya Mlungu Tati gwetu na ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Mashaka goseri numgambira Mlungu mayagashii kwajili ya mwenga, toziya ya manemu gakawapananiti mwenga kupitira Yesu Kristu.
I am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;
5 Toziya kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu muwera walunda mukila shintu. Mpananwa kutakula na kumana.
that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge
6 Ujumbi kuusu Kristu wanakaka mngati mwenu.
(for thus my witness for Christ was confirmed among you);
7 Hangu mpungukiwitwi ndiri lifupu lyoseri lyampananitwi na Rohu Mnanagala, pamuwera mwankuhepera kugubutulwa kwakuwi Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for 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.
He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Mlungu yakawera mwaminika, kawashemiti mwenga muweri pamuhera na Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu, Mtuwa gwetu.
Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with 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.
Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper.
11 Wantu yawamjimira Yesu wayangu, wantu wamonga kulawa kwa kaya ya Kloyi, wang'ambira kuwera mwenga mwankulirewa.
For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe’s people, that there are dissensions 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.”
I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ."
13 Hashi, Kristu kabagulika? Hashi, Paulu ndo yawampingikiti kwajili ya Mwenga? Ama hashi, mbatizitwi gambira ntumintumi gwa Paulu?
Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?
14 Mayagashii Mlungu toziya numubatiziti ndiri muntu yoseri pakati penu, kumbiti hera Krispu na Gayu.
I am thankful to God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Su kwahera muntu yakaweza kutakula kuwera mwenga wakubatizeni kwa litawu lyaneni.
so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.
16 Nulihola, vilaa numubatiziti Stefana na kaya yakuwi, kumbiti mani panumbatiziti muntu gwingi.
Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else.
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 think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.
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 message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.
19 Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Aharibisiyi luhala lwa yawawera na luhala, Na mahala ga wantu hanyasili kutali.”
For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound.
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)
Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age - where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world? (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 when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.
22 Wayawudi wafira lilangaliru handa shilangaliru, Wagiriki wankusakula luhala.
Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy,
23 Kumbiti twenga twankumbwera Kristu yawampingikiti. Kwa Wayawudi shitwatira ashi shiwera shileweleru na kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi shiwera shizyigizyigi,
but we come preaching a crucified Messiah - to Jews a stumbling- block, to Greeks 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 are the called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power 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 the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than 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.
For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.
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.
No, God has chosen the world’s folly to confound its philosophy; and the world’s weakness to confound its strength.
28 Mlungu kavisyagula vitwatira vilii pasipanu viwoneka vyavifaa ndiri na vyawavizarawu, su kavihalabisiyi vilii vyaviwoneka na wantu kuwera shintu shikulu.
The world’s base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;
29 Su kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweza kulitumbira shoseri kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
so that no mortal man should glory in his presence.
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.
It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 Su Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Yakafira kulitumbira, kalitumbiri Mtuwa ntambu yakatenda.”
so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
