1 Korinthians 3
1 Ime miri vayi, me na tre niyi ni na ndi bi ruhu na ama nadi bi nema kpain bi mir ziza ni de kristi.
AND I, brethren, have been unable to speak to you as unto spiritual men, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ.
2 Me noyi mada ra ana hla wu sain mana, bina iri na kio zizan mal rina
And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it.
3 Du zizan 'a bibi n'ma kpa, wa ingu ni do shishi he ni mi suron bi. Du naki bina to bina bi n'ma kpa na? Zirmbi wa indi ba tsra yi to?
For ye are still carnal: for since there are among you envy, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as other men?
4 Din iridi wa tre wawu “ni wu Bulus wawu ni kongon Afollos” naki bina ndi nlege na?
For when one saith, I am indeed of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Me miya a nah Afollos? Anha Bulus? ana bi waba kuyir ni son mba, wabi kpaye ni ba nawa Irji noba du' na.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but the ministers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each of us?
6 Ime me chu, u Apollos mba a bwa m'maa wu Rji a du ba Rju.
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 Naki iwa achu, ke niwa bwa m'ma ba na kpe na. Ama a hi Rji mba ni du gbro.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God who giveth the increase.
8 Wa achu niwa a bwa m'ma ba riri, u ko nha ani kpa knima tsra ni du wa a tei.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but every one shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 Naki wawu mbu k'mir Rji kpukpambi duma wa ki zama ijhuma a tie ta.
For we are God’s fellowlabourers: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
10 Ni alherin Rji wa ba ne, cikake wu meh wa meh zinci harsashi, uri ani meh ni whu me, du naki kowane indi aniya yada imeh ma ni he gyagyer.
According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it.
11 Ba indi wa ni zinci harsashinma kan niwa ba riga da ziye wato Yesu Almasihu
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the Messiah.
12 Zizan'a indi wa meh nitu har sashi rhi kan, wu zina riya ni wu ozurfa, koni wu titta bi daraja ni kukor, ni ciyawa ni tattaka.
But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble;
13 du induma ni mlaye wa vyi wu mlaya ni he. Ani wu mlaya ni luwu. iluwu ni shell wu bima wa konha a teir.
every man’s work shall be made manifest: for that day shall declare it, for it shall be laid open by fire; and the fire shall prove every man’s work of what sort it is.
14 Wu indiri wa duma abi, anika zizima.
If any man’s work which he hath built abide the trial, he shall receive a reward.
15 Toki wu indi wa induma a gonlu wawu aniyi da shaya asara u wawu ni tu ma ani nawo ama da kir.
If any man’s work be burnt up, he shall suffer loss: but himself shall be saved; yet so as through the fire.
16 Binato di bi hai kadi u Rji u Ruhu Rji ani son ni kpambi na?
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 Indi wa akpa haikali Rji u Ruhu Rji ti meme Irji game ni kpa ti meme. haikali Rji awu tsraki wukitaa me anaki.
If any man prophane the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Du ndio duna gur tuma n, idi wa aya tuma ani wawu kpe, ni son bi wawu, waniya ni wawu a zan konha, di wawu a he ni hikima niton mbu wu zizan du k'ma ti wawu don da zama u hikima. (aiōn g165)
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinketh himself a wise man in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 U hikima wu gbugbu'u yi kalacu mu ni Rji naki itre ma ba hna da tre “ani vuu bi hikima ni makircin mba.”
For the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God. For it is written, “He entangleth the wise in their own craftiness.”
20 Har luwa 'Irji to mer bi hikima a wu megye”.
And again, “The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.”
21 Tok ni meryi du ndio du na wur who ni indi na duka koge hi wume.
Wherefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;
22 Ni Bulus u Apollos, U kefas, u gbu-gblu u rai, u que u kpi wu zizan, u kpi bi ye no ko shishi, wawu ba wu mbi.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are your’s;
23 U biyi biwu kristi, u kristi hi wu Rji
and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
