1 Ŵakolinto 1
1 Une che Paolo jumilanjikwe kuti meje nduna jwa Kilisito Che Yesu kwa kusaka kwakwe Akunnungu ni alongo ajetu che Sositene
Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes,
2 tukunnembela mwanya ŵanli ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵa ku Kolinto, ŵanyamwe mmilanjikwe mme ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵaali papalipose ŵakwapopelela Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito jwali chilongola jwao ni jwetu.
to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:
3 Tukunsachila umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ngwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu moŵa gose kwa ligongo lya umbone wa Akunnungu umpatile kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito.
I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;
5 Pakuŵa mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito mmele ŵakusichila mu indu yose, mpatile umanyilisi wose ni ukombole wose wa kulalichila.
because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge;
6 Pakuŵa umboni nkati Kilisito ulimbichikwe mwa ŵanyamwe,
as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you;
7 kwayele nganimma ŵakusoŵekwa ni ntuuka wauliwose kutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, mpela inkuti kulolela kuunukulikwa kwa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
8 Ŵelewo chanlimbisye mpaka kumbesi kuti mme ŵangali chileŵo pa lyuŵa lichauje Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
who will also establish you unblamable unto the end in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, ŵelewo ŵammilasile kuti ntame mu kukamulangana ni Che Yesu Kilisito mwanagwawo ŵaali Ambuje ŵetu.
God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 Achalongo achinjangu, ngunchondelela mlina lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, njilane wose mu inkuŵecheta kuti kukapagwa kulekangana pasikati jenu, nnopennope nkole nganisyo simo ni nningwa umo.
But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.
11 Achalongo achinjangu, ŵandu ŵane ŵaali mu mpingo u che Kiloe asalile kuti ŵanyamwe nkulekangana kwa maloŵe.
For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Ngusaka sale chimbilikene kukwenu, mundu jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya che Paolo,” ni jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya che Apolo,” jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya che Kefa,” ni jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya Kilisito.”
And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Ana nkuganisya kuti Kilisito agaŵaniche? Ana che Paolo ni juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba kwaligongo lyenu? Pane ana mwabatiswe kuti mme ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Paolo?
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 Ngwatogolela Akunnungu pakuŵa nganinambatisya jwalijose pasikati jenu ikaŵe che Kilispo ni che Gayo pe.
I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;
15 Kwayele ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusala kuti abatiswe aŵe jwakulijiganya jwangu.
in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name.
16 Ngukumbuchila, iyoyo nambatisye che Sitefano ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao, nambo ngangukumbuchila kuti nambatisye mundu jwine.
But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.
17 Pakuŵa Kilisito ngananajichisya kwabatisya ŵandu, nambo naalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone, ni ngaŵa kwa maloŵe gakwanonyelesya ŵandu, kuti chiwa cha Kilisito pa nsalaba chinaŵe cha bule.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.
18 Pakuŵa utenga nkati chiwa cha Kilisito pa nsalaba ukuwoneka uloŵelo kwa ŵakusochela, nambo kwetuwe ŵatukukulupuswa, tukugaona machili ga Akunnungu.
For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.
19 Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakusala, “Chinalujonanje lunda lwa ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda, ni umanyilisi wa ŵandu ŵaali ni umanyilisi chinaukane.”
For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.
20 Alikwapi jwakwete lunda? Alikwapi jwakwiganya malajisyo? Alikwapi jwakumanyilila kutagula indu ya pachilambo? Akunnungu alutesile lunda lwa chilambo chino luŵe uloŵelo. (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? (aiōn g165)
21 Nti yalutite lunda lwa Akunnungu, ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakukombola kwamanyilila Akunnungu kwa lunda lwao achinsyene. Nambo Akunnungu ŵasachile kwakulupusya ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila kwa litala lya utenga utukwalalichila, aula waukuoneka uli uloŵelo kwa aŵala ŵaali ni lunda lwa chiundu.
For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
22 Ŵayahudi akusaka imanyisyo ni Ŵagiliki akusosa lunda.
Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;
23 Nambo uweji tukunlalichila ngani ja Kilisito juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba. Ngani jajikuloleka chakukuŵasya kwa Ŵayahudi ni uloŵelo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;
24 Nambo kwa ŵele uŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu, Ŵayahudi pane ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, Kilisito ali machili ga Akunnungu ni lunda lwa Akunnungu.
but to you who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Pakuŵa chachikuloleka uli uloŵelo wa Akunnungu chikwete lunda kupunda lunda lwa ŵandu, nombe chachikuloleka uli ulepetelo wa Akunnungu chikwete machili kugapunda machili ga ŵandu.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 Nipele achalongo achinjangu, nkumbuchile imwaliji paŵammilasile Akunnungu. Kwa chipimo cha ŵandu nganimma ŵajinji ŵaŵakwete lunda, iyoyo nganimma ŵajinji ŵamwaliji ni machili, nombe nganimma ŵajinji umwamanyiche nnope.
For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born:
27 Nambo Akunnungu ŵaisagwile indu yaikuwoneka ili yakuloŵela pachilambo kuti ŵataje soni ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda, sooni Akunnungu aisagwile yakulepetala ya pachilambo kuti ŵataje soni ŵandu ŵaali ni machili.
but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;
28 Akunnungu aisagwile indu ya pachilambo yakunyeluswa ni kukanikwa ni yaikuwoneka yangalimate, kuti aijonanje aila yaikuwoneka ni ŵandu kuti yanamate mu nganisyo sya ŵandu.
and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,
29 Akunnungu ŵatesile yeleyo kuti akapagwa mundu ŵakulilapa paujo pao.
in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.
30 Akunnungu nsyene anlumbikenye mwanya ni Che Yesu Kilisito. Nombe Akunnungu antesile Kilisito aŵe lunda lwetu. Tukuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni kuŵa ŵandu ŵatuŵichikwe pa jika kwa ligongo lya Akunnungu ni ŵawombweche.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
31 Mpela itite kulembekwa Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Jwalijose jwakulilapa alilape kwa achila chatesile Ambuje.”
in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
