1 Ŵakolinto 3
1 Achalongo achinjangu, uneji nganiŵecheta nomwe mpela ŵandu ŵakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu nambo naŵechete ni ŵanyamwe mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa nti twanache mu kwakulupilila Kilisito.
And I, brethren, was not able to speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even babes in Christ.
2 Nang'wesisye maŵele, ngaŵa yakulya yakulimba, pakuŵa nganinkombola kulya, namose sambano ngankupakombola kulya.
I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:
3 Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe chiŵela nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo yakuti pakutama. Uli pasikati jenu nganiupagwa wiu ni utinda? Yele yose ikulosya kuti ŵanyamwe chiŵela nli ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino, ni ŵanyamwe nkutama mpela chilambo ichikuti pakusaka.
for ye are yet carnal. For where there are envy and strife among you, are you not carnal, and walking about according to man?
4 Jumo jwenu pakuti, “Une ngwakuya che Paolo,” ni jwine asalaga, “Une ngwakuya che Apolo,” uli ngankutenda mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo yakuti pakutenda?
For when one may say, I am indeed of Paul; another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?
5 Ana che Apolo ali ŵaani? Ni che Paolo ali ŵaani? Uweji tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu utukunnyichisya chikulupi. Jwalijose apanganyisye masengo gapegwilwe ni Ambuje.
Then what is Apollos? and what is Paul? But ministers through whom ye believed; even as the Lord gave to each one.
6 Une napandile mbeju ni che Apolo ŵajitilile meesi nambo Akunnungu ni uŵajimelesye.
I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 Nambo ŵapandile ngaŵa chindu sooni ŵajitilile meesi ngaŵa chindu nambo Akunnungu pe ŵaŵajimelesye mbeju ali jwankulu.
So neither is the one planting, nor the one watering anything, but God the one giving the increase.
8 Mundu juŵapandile ni juŵajitilile meesi wose ali yalumo ni Akunnungu chachimpa jwalijose mbote jakwe malinga ni masengo gakwe gapangenye.
But he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and each one shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 Pakuŵa uwe wose tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe nli ngunda wa Akunnungu, iyoyo nli nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's farm; ye are God's building.
10 Kwa ligongo lya umbone wa Akunnungu ambele masengo, misile nsingi mpela jwakutaŵa jwambone yakuti kukolosya, ni mundu jwine akutaŵa pachanya pakwe. Nambo jwalijose jwakutaŵa alilolechesye yakuti pakutaŵa pachanya pakwe.
According to the grace of God which was given unto me, I as a wise architect, laid the foundation; and another builds on it. Let each one take heed how he builds.
11 Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakupakombola kuŵika nsingi wine kupunda aula wemale kuŵichikwa, yaani Che Yesu Kilisito.
For other foundation no one is able to lay beside the one which is laid, who is Jesus Christ.
12 Pachanya nsingi wo mundu akukombola kutaŵa kwa sahabu pane kwa feza pane kwa maganga ga ntengo wekulungwa pane kwa itela pane kwa manyasi pane kwa masamba.
But if any one builds upon the foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Usalale wa masengo ga mundu jwalijose chiuwoneche ni kuŵichikwa pangasisika, pa lyuŵa litaiche Kilisito kukwalamula ŵandu. Pakuŵa pa lyuŵa lyo, mooto chiuunukule masengo ga kila mundu ni wele mooto chiulinje umbone wa masengo ga mundu jwalijose ni kulosya iŵaga gali gakusalala.
the work of each will be made manifest: for the day will reveal it, because it is revealed by fire; and the same fire will try the work of each what soil it is.
14 Iŵaga chataŵile mundu pachanya pa nsingi wo ngachipya kwa mooto wo, mundu jo chapochele ntulilo.
And if the work of any one which he builds, abides, he will receive a reward:
15 Iŵaga chataŵile cho chichipye, nipele mundu jo ngaapata ntulilo wao, nambo nsyene jo chakulupuswe mpela ila apokweche pa mooto.
But if the work of any one shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss; but himself shall be saved, but as through the fire.
16 Ana ngankumanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe nli Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kuti Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akutama nkati mwenu?
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 Nipele naga mundu akujijonanga Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu chanjonanje mundu jo. Pakuŵa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jili jeswela, ni ŵanyamwe nli Nyuumba jo.
If any one destroys the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.
18 Mundu jwalijose akalilambusya nsyene, iŵaga mundu mwa ŵanyamwe akuliganisya kuti ali ni lunda lwa chilambo chino, mbaya aŵeje jwakuloŵela kuti akole ni lunda lusyene. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Pakuŵa lunda lwa chilambo chino luli uloŵelo paujo pa Akunnungu pakuŵa ilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Akunnungu akwatanjisya ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda mu ukalamuche wao.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 Ni sooni ilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Ambuje akusimanyilila nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda lwa pachilambo kuti syangali chindu.”
And again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Pele mundu jwalijose ngasalilapila ŵandu. Pakuŵa indu yose ili yenu ŵanyamwe.
So let no one boast among men; for all things are yours;
22 Aŵaga che Paolo pane che Apolo pane che Kefa pane chilambo pane umi pane chiwa pane katema ka sambano pane katema kakakwika, yoseyo ili yenu ŵanyamwe,
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come.
23 ni ŵanyamwe nli ŵandu ŵa Kilisito ni Kilisito ali ŵa Akunnungu.
All things are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
