1 Wakorintu 1
1 Neni Paulu yawanshemiti kuwera ntumintumi gwa Yesu Kristu kwa mafiliru ga Mlungu na mlongu muyetu Sosteni.
Paul, called to be an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
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 congregation of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called to be kadoshim, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:
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 Yeshua the Messiah.
4 Mashaka goseri numgambira Mlungu mayagashii kwajili ya mwenga, toziya ya manemu gakawapananiti mwenga kupitira Yesu Kristu.
I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua;
5 Toziya kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu muwera walunda mukila shintu. Mpananwa kutakula na kumana.
that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
6 Ujumbi kuusu Kristu wanakaka mngati mwenu.
even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:
7 Hangu mpungukiwitwi ndiri lifupu lyoseri lyampananitwi na Rohu Mnanagala, pamuwera mwankuhepera kugubutulwa kwakuwi Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to be revealed;
8 Nayomberi hakawagangamaziyi mwenga mpaka upeleru, mpati kuwoneka pota na ukondola mulishaka lilii lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
9 Mlungu yakawera mwaminika, kawashemiti mwenga muweri pamuhera na Mwana gwakuwi Yesu Kristu, Mtuwa gwetu.
God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, 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 appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.
11 Wantu yawamjimira Yesu wayangu, wantu wamonga kulawa kwa kaya ya Kloyi, wang'ambira kuwera mwenga mwankulirewa.
For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, 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 mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Kefa," and, "I follow Messiah."
13 Hashi, Kristu kabagulika? Hashi, Paulu ndo yawampingikiti kwajili ya Mwenga? Ama hashi, mbatizitwi gambira ntumintumi gwa Paulu?
Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
14 Mayagashii Mlungu toziya numubatiziti ndiri muntu yoseri pakati penu, kumbiti hera Krispu na Gayu.
I thank God that I immersed none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Su kwahera muntu yakaweza kutakula kuwera mwenga wakubatizeni kwa litawu lyaneni.
so that no one should say that you had been immersed into my own name.
16 Nulihola, vilaa numubatiziti Stefana na kaya yakuwi, kumbiti mani panumbatiziti muntu gwingi.
(Now I also immersed the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I immersed any other.)
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 Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.
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 about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 Malembu Mananagala galonga, “Aharibisiyi luhala lwa yawawera na luhala, Na mahala ga wantu hanyasili kutali.”
For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
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 is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom 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 seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
22 Wayawudi wafira lilangaliru handa shilangaliru, Wagiriki wankusakula luhala.
For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
23 Kumbiti twenga twankumbwera Kristu yawampingikiti. Kwa Wayawudi shitwatira ashi shiwera shileweleru na kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi shiwera shizyigizyigi,
but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
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 called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is 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.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
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 calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.
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 chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.
28 Mlungu kavisyagula vitwatira vilii pasipanu viwoneka vyavifaa ndiri na vyawavizarawu, su kavihalabisiyi vilii vyaviwoneka na wantu kuwera shintu shikulu.
And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,
29 Su kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweza kulitumbira shoseri kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
that no flesh might boast before God.
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.
And because of him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 Su Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Yakafira kulitumbira, kalitumbiri Mtuwa ntambu yakatenda.”
so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
