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 a called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother
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 which is being in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus called holy, together with all those calling on the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs (then *k*) and ours:
3 Tukunsachila umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
Grace to you and peace from God Father of us 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 thank the God of mine always concerning you for the grace of God which having been given you in Christ Jesus
5 Pakuŵa mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito mmele ŵakusichila mu indu yose, mpatile umanyilisi wose ni ukombole wose wa kulalichila.
for in everything you have been enriched in Him in all speech and in all knowledge,
6 Pakuŵa umboni nkati Kilisito ulimbichikwe mwa ŵanyamwe,
even as the testimony about Christ was 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 as for you not to be lacking in not one gift eagerly awaiting the revelation of the Lord of us Jesus Christ;
8 Ŵelewo chanlimbisye mpaka kumbesi kuti mme ŵangali chileŵo pa lyuŵa lichauje Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
who also will sustain you to [the] end blameless in the day of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
9 Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, ŵelewo ŵammilasile kuti ntame mu kukamulangana ni Che Yesu Kilisito mwanagwawo ŵaali Ambuje ŵetu.
Faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into fellowship with the Son of Him Jesus Christ the Lord of us.
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.
I exhort now you, brothers, through the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ that the same thing you may speak all and not there may be among you divisions, you may be however knit together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 Achalongo achinjangu, ŵandu ŵane ŵaali mu mpingo u che Kiloe asalile kuti ŵanyamwe nkulekangana kwa maloŵe.
It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.
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.”
I mean now this, that each of you says; I myself indeed am of Paul, I myself however of Apollos, I myself however of Cephas, I myself however 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?
Has been divided Christ? Surely not Paul was crucified for you? Or into the name of Paul were you baptized?
14 Ngwatogolela Akunnungu pakuŵa nganinambatisya jwalijose pasikati jenu ikaŵe che Kilispo ni che Gayo pe.
I thank God that no [one] of you I baptized only except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Kwayele ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusala kuti abatiswe aŵe jwakulijiganya jwangu.
so that not anyone may say that into my name (you were baptized. *N(K)O*)
16 Ngukumbuchila, iyoyo nambatisye che Sitefano ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao, nambo ngangukumbuchila kuti nambatisye mundu jwine.
I baptized now also the of Stephanas household; as to the rest not I know whether any other I baptized.
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.
Not for sent me Christ to baptize but to evangelise; not in wisdom of discourse, that not may be emptied of power the cross of the Christ.
18 Pakuŵa utenga nkati chiwa cha Kilisito pa nsalaba ukuwoneka uloŵelo kwa ŵakusochela, nambo kwetuwe ŵatukukulupuswa, tukugaona machili ga Akunnungu.
The message for of the cross to those indeed perishing foolishness is, to those however being saved to us power of God it is.
19 Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakusala, “Chinalujonanje lunda lwa ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda, ni umanyilisi wa ŵandu ŵaali ni umanyilisi chinaukane.”
It has been written for: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.
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? Where [the] scribe? Where [the] debater of the age this? Surely has made foolish God the wisdom of the world (this? *k*) (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.
Since for in the wisdom of God not knew the world through the wisdom God, was pleased God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing;
22 Ŵayahudi akusaka imanyisyo ni Ŵagiliki akusosa lunda.
Seeing that both Jews (signs *N(K)O*) ask for and Greeks wisdom seek,
23 Nambo uweji tukunlalichila ngani ja Kilisito juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba. Ngani jajikuloleka chakukuŵasya kwa Ŵayahudi ni uloŵelo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
we ourselves however preach Christ crucified, to [the] Jews indeed a stumbling block (to Gentiles *N(K)O*) however foolishness
24 Nambo kwa ŵele uŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu, Ŵayahudi pane ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, Kilisito ali machili ga Akunnungu ni lunda lwa Akunnungu.
to them however to those called, Jews both and to Greeks, Christ of God [the] power and of God [the] wisdom.
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.
For the foolishness of God wiser than men is and the weakness of God stronger than men (is. *k*)
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.
Consider for the calling of you, brothers, that not many wise according to flesh [were], not many powerful, not many of noble birth,
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 the foolish things of the world has chosen God that He may shame the wise and the weak things of the world chose God that He may shame 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 the low-born of the world and the [things] despised chose God, (and *ko*) the [things] not being, that the [things] being He may annul,
29 Akunnungu ŵatesile yeleyo kuti akapagwa mundu ŵakulilapa paujo pao.
so that not may boast all flesh before (God. *N(K)O*)
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.
Out of Him however you yourselves are in Christ Jesus, who has been made wisdom unto us from God, righteousness and also sanctification and redemption,
31 Mpela itite kulembekwa Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Jwalijose jwakulilapa alilape kwa achila chatesile Ambuje.”
in order that even as it has been written: The [one] boasting in [the] Lord he should boast.
