1 Corinthians 16
1 Ǹjẹ́ ní ti ìdáwó fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, bí mo tí wí fún àwọn ìjọ Galatia, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ní kí ẹ ṣe.
Now concerning the offering for the saints, you also are to do as I directed the church of Galatia.
2 Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní ọ̀sẹ̀, kí olúkúlùkù yín fi sínú ìṣúra lọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀ ni apá kan, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe rere fún ún, ki ó má ṣe si ìkójọ nígbà tí mo bá dé.
On the first day of each week let each of you put aside something, keeping it in store as he may prosper, so that when I come there may be no collections going on.
3 Àti nígbà ti mo bá dé, àwọn ẹni tí ẹ bá yàn, àwọn ni èmi ó rán láti mú ẹ̀bùn yín gòkè lọ si Jerusalẹmu.
On my arrival I will send those whom you may accredit by letter to carry your bounty to Jerusalem.
4 Bí ó bá sì yẹ kí èmí lọ pẹ̀lú, wọn ó sì bá mi lọ.
And if it is worth while for me to go too, they will accompany me.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò tọ̀ yin wá, nígbà tí èmí bá ti kọjá láàrín Makedonia: nítorí èmi yóò kọjá láàrín Makedonia.
Now I shall come to you after I have gone through Macedonia.
6 Bóyá èmi ó sì dúró pẹ̀lú yín, tàbí kí n tilẹ̀ lo àkókò òtútù, ki ẹ̀yin lé sìn mí ni ọ̀nà àjò mí, níbikíbi tí mo bá ń lọ.
I shall remain some time with you; possibly spending the winter, in order that you may help me forward in whatever journey I take.
7 Nítorí èmi kò fẹ́ kan ri yín kí èmi sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ kọjá lọ; nítorí èmi ń retí àti dúró lọ́dọ̀ yín díẹ̀, bí Olúwa bá fẹ́.
For I do not wish at this present time to see you merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò dúró ni Efesu títí dí Pentikosti.
I am staying for the present in Ephesus, until Pentecost;
9 Nítorí pé ìlẹ̀kùn ńlá láti ṣe iṣẹ́ gidi ṣí sílẹ̀ fún mí, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sì ni àwọn ọ̀tá tí ń bẹ.
for a door has opened to me, great and effectual, and the opponents are many.
10 Ǹjẹ́ bí Timotiu bá dé, ẹ jẹ́ kí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ yín láìbẹ̀rù, nítorí òun ń ṣé iṣẹ́ Olúwa, bí èmi pẹ̀lú ti ń ṣe.
If Timothy come, see to it that he is among you without trepidation; for he is doing the Lord’s work, as I am, so let no one disparage him.
11 Nítorí náà kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe kẹ́gàn rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ sín ín jáde lọ́nà àjò ni àlàáfíà, kí òun lè tọ̀ mí wá; nítorí tí èmí ń fi ojú sí ọ̀nà fún wíwá rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin.
Whenever he comes to me, send him on his way in peace, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti Apollo arákùnrin wa, mo bẹ̀ ẹ́ púpọ̀ láti tọ̀ yín wá pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ rárá láti wà nísinsin yìí, ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò wá nígbà tí ààyè bá ṣí sílẹ̀ fún un.
As for our Apollos, I have many times urged him to go to you with the others, but he was always unwilling to go to you at this time. He will come, however, whenever he has a good opportunity.
13 Ẹ máa ṣọ́ra, ẹ dúró ṣinṣin nínú ìgbàgbọ́, ẹ ṣe bi ọkùnrin tí ó ní ìgboyà, ẹ jẹ́ alágbára.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
14 Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo nínú ìfẹ́.
Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Ǹjẹ́ mo bẹ̀ yín ará, ẹ ṣá mọ ilé Stefana pé, àwọn ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́ tó gba Jesu ní Akaia, àti pé, wọn sì tí fi ará wọn fún iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
I beg you this, my brothers - you know the household of Stephanus, that they were the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they devoted themselves to the service of the saints -
16 Kí ẹ̀yin tẹríba fún irú àwọn báwọ̀nyí, àti fún olúkúlùkù olùbáṣiṣẹ́ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú wa tí ó sì ń ṣe làálàá.
so I want you also to show deference to such, and to every fellow worker, and laborer.
17 Mo láyọ̀ fún wíwá Stefana àti Fortunatu àti Akaiku, nítorí èyí tí ó kù nípá tí yín wọ́n ti fi kún un.
I am glad that Stephanus and Fortunatus and Achaicus have arrived, for they have made up for your absence.
18 Nítorí tí wọ́n tu ẹ̀mí mí lára àti tiyín: nítorí náà, ẹ máa gba irú àwọn ti ó rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
They refresh my spirit as they do yours. So cultivate the acquaintance of such men.
19 Àwọn ìjọ ni Asia kí í yín. Akuila àti Priskilla kí í yín púpọ̀ nínú Olúwa, pẹ̀lú ìjọ tí ó wà ni ilé wọn.
The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla (Prisca), with the church that meets in their house, greet you heartily in the Lord.
20 Gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin kí í yín. Ẹ fi ìfẹnukonu mímọ́ kí ara yín.
All the brothers send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 Ìkíni ti èmi Paulu, láti ọwọ́ èmi tìkára mi wá.
The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni kò bá ní ìfẹ́ Jesu Kristi Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ó dì ẹni ìfibú. Máa bọ Olúwa wa!
If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.
23 Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Jesu Kristi Olúwa kí ó wà pẹ̀lú yín!
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
24 Ìfẹ́ mi wá pẹ̀lú gbogbo yín nínú Kristi Jesu. Àmín.
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
