1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
U Paulo, naewilangilwe nu Yesu Kilisto kutula mutume kuulowa wang'wi Tunda, nu Sosthene muluwa witu.
2 to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, to called men, to holy men who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus with all in every place who call upon the name of our the Lord Jesus Christ-both ours and theirs.
Kitekeelo nilang'wi Tunda nilikole kukorintho, kuawa niaikilwe wakfu mung'wa yesu Kilisto, neitangilwe kutula antu neatakatifu. Kuuaandekila ga nawa ehi neelitanga elina lamukkulu witu u Yesu Kilisto mukianza kehi, Mukulu nuao nuyu nuulu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende nuupolo utule kung'waanyu kupuma kung'wi Tunda utata witu nu Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
4 I thank my God always about you, for the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,
Mahiku ehi numusongeeye Itunda nuane kunsoko anyu, kunsoko aukende wang'wi Tunda nu Yesu Kilisto awapee.
5 that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge.
Watendile kutula agole kukila nzila, muutambu mpalung'wi nimahala ehi.
6 Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
Watendile agole, anga uwikengwi kukiila kung'wa Kilisto kina ugombilwe kutai mumo mitalanyu.
7 so that ye come behind in not one gift, waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kuite gwa shamukuhielwa uupegwe yakenkolo, anga nimukete insula nakulindiila ukunukuilwe nua Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukumukomisa unye gwa, sunga impelo nsoko muleke kumelwa muluhiku nula Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
9 God is faithful through whom ye were called for the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Itunda shawikalika naumitangile unye muupalung'wi nuang'wakwe, u Yesu Mkulu witu.
10 Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding.
Itungeli kumupepeelya akaka niadada ane, kukiila elina nila Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto, kina ehi agombe, hange kina itule kutile uwikomi mung'waanyu. Kumupepelya kina mihanguile palung'wi kisigo ling'wi nuupikeeli ung'wi.
11 For it was declared to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Inge iantu amito nilawa Klowe ambila kina ukole wikani nulongolekile mitalanyu.
12 Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Nkete ndogoilyo siye: Kela ung'wi wanyu wilunga, unene niang'wa Paulo,” ang'wi, “unene niang'wa Apolo,” ang'wi niang'wa Kefa” ang'wi “unene niang'wa Kilisto.”
13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul?
Itee, Ukilisto utemanukilene? Itee, Upaulo aewagigwe kunsoko anyune? Itea, aemubadisigwe kulina lang'wa Paulone?
14 I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Nimusongeeye Itunda kina singa aembadisilya wehi inge Ukilisto du nu Gayo.
15 lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.
Iye naeyezetula kina kutile wehi nauzelunga mbadisigwe kulina lane.
16 And I also immersed the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.
(Aeniabadisilye ga nawaniamilo nilang'wa Stephania. Kukila pang'wanso, singanengile ang'wi aenamubadisa muntu numungiza wehi).
17 For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.
Kunsoko u Kilisto shanga auntumile kubadisa inge aekutanatya inkani ninziza. Shanga auntumile kutanantya inkani niikulyo lakuuntu, nsoko kina engulu nikota lampaga nilang'wa Kilisto ilekekuhegigwa.
18 For the message of the cross is of course foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God.
Kunsoko ulukani likota lampaga upungu huawa niakusha kuite kuawa ni Tunda ukuaguna, ngulu ang'wi Tunda.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding.
Kunsoko iandekile, “Kubipya ikulyo lao awa niakete kubipya ulingi wao nuamahala.
20 Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Ukolipe umuntu nukete ikulyo? Ukolipe nukete umanyisi? Ukolipe umutambuli umupepeli nuamuunkumbigulu uwu? Itee, Itunda shamaaupiunene ikulyo nilamuunkumbigulu uwu kutula upugu? (aiōn g165)
21 For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
Kupuma uunkumbigulu nikulyo lakwe shaeumulengile Itunda, aeyemunonee tunda kuupungu wao nuautananti nsoko waagune awa niakuhuela.
22 And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom,
Iayahudi ekolya ilengasiilyo niamakula nukuayunani eduma ikulyo.
23 but we proclaim Christ crucified, it is truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness.
Kuite kuumutanantya u Kilisto naeupagekilwe, naekimeli kuayahudi muupungu kuayunani.
24 But to them, to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Kuite awanaeitangilwe ni Tunda, Iayahudi nia Yunani, kuu mutanantya u Kilisto anga ngulu nikulyo lang'wi Tunda.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.
Kunsoko u upungu nuang'wa Itunda, ukete upolo ikila nua ana adamu, nu unyeku nuang'wa Itunda ukete ngulu ikilo nua ana adamu.
26 For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent.
Gozi uwitangi nuang'wi Tunda kung'waanyu, akaka niadada ane. Singa aemiedu tai naemukete ingulu. Singamiedu tai nemutugilwe muukulu.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful.
Kuite Itunda ausague imaintu nimapungu namihe nsoko akuhumye iminyala aya nakete ikulyo. Itunda ausague aya nimanegetu nikamihe kukihumya iminyala nikikete ingulu.
28 And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are,
Itunda ausague iki nikikole pihe nikinikimeilwe munumuhe. Ausague nimaintu nisinga aiaaigwe kina maintu nukimatenda singa kintu imaintu nakete insailo.
29 so that no flesh may boast before God.
Autendile ite nsoko itule kutile wehi nukete insoko akihumbula ntongeela akwe.
30 But ye are his, in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Kunsoko aeki Itunda nukitendile, itungo ile mukole mukati ang'wa Yesu Kilisto, nutendekile ikulyo kunsoko itu kupuma kung'wi Tunda. Naetai itu, utakatifu nukomolwi.
31 so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.
Anga wigeeli, anga ulukani nululungile, “nukikulya, wikulye Mumukulu.”
