1 Ŵakolinto 16
1 Sambano ngusala yankati mbiya kwa ligongo lya kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu: Mpanganye achila chinalajisye mmipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Galatia.
And concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye — do ye;
2 Kila chijuma, kila mundu mwa ŵanyamwe asapule mbiya syasikutyochela mu yakupata yakwe, nipele agose kuti pachiiche ngasindenda nanjenunanjenu sooni.
on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;
3 Namalaga kwika kukwenu, aŵala ŵandu uchimwasagule pasikati jenu, chinaatume ni chikalata chakwamanyisya, ni ajausye mbote syenu ku Yelusalemu.
and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem;
4 Iŵaga chiiwoneche ili yambone noneji nyaule, nipele ŵele ŵanduwo chalongane none.
and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.
5 Chiiche kweleko namalaga kupita ku Makedonia, pakuŵa ngusaka kwaula ku Makedonia.
And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia — for Macedonia I do pass through —
6 Panjipa chindame ni ŵanyamwe kwa moŵa kanandi pane chindame katema kose kambepo kuti mpakombole kungamusya mu ulendo wangu kulikose kuchinyaule.
and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that ye may send me forward whithersoever I go,
7 Pakuŵa ngangusaka kuonegana ni ŵanyamwe ni kupelenganya. Ngulolela kutama ni ŵanyamwe kwa katema kakajinji Ambuje asakaga.
for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;
8 Chindame ku Efeso mpaka lyuŵa lya Pentekosite,
and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,
9 pakuŵa Ambuje amugulile nnango kupanganya masengo gamakulungwa, namuno kweleko kwana ŵandu achajinji ŵakunganila.
for a door to me hath been opened — great and effectual — and withstanders [are] many.
10 Che Timoseo aikaga kukwenu, nkantendekasya akole lipamba pachatame ni ŵanyamwe, pakuŵa ŵelewo akugapanganya masengo ga Ambuje mpela une.
And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,
11 Nipele mundu jwalijose akasannyelusya jwelejo, nambo munkamusye ajendelechele ni ulendo kwa chitendewele kuti apakombole kumujila. Pakuŵa ngwalolela auje pamo ni achalongo ŵane.
no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren;
12 Sambano ngusala yankati ngani ja nlongo njetu che Apolo: Nachondelele kwannope aiche kukwenu pamo ni achalongo ŵane. Nambo ngakusaka kwika kweleko katema kano, nambo chaiche pachachikola lipesa.
and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient.
13 Nchesye, njime uchenene mu chikulupi, mmeje ŵakulimbila ni mmeje ŵamachili.
Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;
14 Kila chindu chinkupanganya mpanganyeje kwa unonyelo.
let all your things be done in love.
15 Sambano achalongo achinjangu, nkwamanyilila che Sitefano ni ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵelewo ŵalongolele kuŵa Ŵakilisito ku Akaya ko, nipele ŵalityosisye achinsyene kwatumichila ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu. Kwapele achalongo achinjangu ngunchondelela,
And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves —
16 mwajitichisye ŵandu mpela ŵelewo ni kila mundu jwakupanganya masengo ni kutumichila pamo nawo.
that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is working with [us] and labouring;
17 Ngusengwa nnope paikangene che Sitefano ni che Futunata ni che Akaiko, pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵangamuchisye kupanganya masengo agala gamwapanganyaga ŵanyamwe katema kanganimpagwa.
and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;
18 Ŵelewo angonjile ntima wangu mpela iŵatite pakujikonga mitima jenu, ŵandu mpela ŵelewo ili yambone kwakumbuchila.
for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye, therefore, those who [are] such.
19 Mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Asia jikunkomasya. Che Akila ni che Pilisila pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito waukusongangana mu nyuumba jao, akunkomasya kwa lina lya Ambuje.
Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house;
20 Ni achalongo wose ŵaali pelepa akunkomasya. Nkomasyane kwakulosya unonyelo wa Kilisito.
salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss.
21 Uneji, che Paolo ngunkomasya, ngulemba kwa nkono wangu nansyene.
The salutation of [me] Paul with my hand;
22 Mundu jwalijose jwangasaka kwanonyela Ambuje, jwelejo alwesechekwe! Maranatha malumbo gakwe njise Ambuje ŵetu.
if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ — let him be anathema! The Lord hath come!
23 Ngunsachila umbone kutyochela kwa Ambuje Che Yesu.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you;
24 Unonyelo wangune uŵe pamo ni mwanyamwe wose ŵanlumbikene ni Kilisito Che Yesu.
my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
