< 1 Corinthians 3 >

1 And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to the childlike in Christ.
Bhakilishitu ajangunji, nne punaliji na mmanganya nangammeleketelanga mbuti bhandu bha mmbumu. Ikabheje mbuti bhandu bha pashilambolyo, malinga ashinambombe nndamo ja shi Kilishitu.
2 I gave you milk to drink and not solid food, for ye were not yet able. But not even yet are ye able,
Nashinkumpanganga mabhele, nngabha shalya shanonopa, pabha nkashilepelenje. Nkali nnaino nkashikombolanga.
3 for ye are still carnal. For whereas among you is envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal and walk according to man?
Numbe mmanganyanji launo nnakagulilanga indu ya pa shilambolyo. Pabha kungwenunji lushipagwa lupimililo na mpwai, bhuli mmanganya nngabha malinga bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo? Nnatamangana kwa kagulila nkubho gwa bhandunji bha pashilambolyo.
4 For while one may say, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?
Mundu jumo munkumbi gwenunji pabheleketa kuti nne jwa a Pauli na juna kuti nne jwa a Apolo, bhuli, yeneyo ikalangula kuti nnatamangana malinga bhandu bha pa shilambolyo?
5 Who therefore is Paul and who is Apollos? But rather helpers through whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to each man.
A Apolo ni agani? Na a Pauli ni agani? Uwe bhatumishipe twampeleshelenje mmanganya ngulupai. Kila mundu munkumbi gwetu anatenda malinga shapegwilwe na Bhakulungwa.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused growth.
Nne nashinkupanda mmbeju, a Apolo gubhajitilile mashi, ikabheje bhameshiye mmbeju a Nnungu.
7 So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters, but God who causes growth.
Kwa nneyo, jwa mmbone nngabha apandile mmbeju jula eu ajitilile mashi, ikabhe bha mmbone a Nnungu bhameshiye mmbeju.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each man will receive his own payment according to his own labor.
Apandile jula eu ajitilile mashi bhowe bhanalingananga, ikabheje kila mundu shaposhele upo yakwe kwa liengo lyatendile.
9 For we are co-workmen of God. Ye are a tillage of God, an edifice of God.
Pabha uwe na mmanganyanji, tubhowe tubhakamula liengo lya a Nnungu pamo, na mmanganya ni malinga nngunda gwabho na nyumba jabho.
10 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation and another man is building on it. But let each man take heed how he is building on it.
Kwa jangutilwa na nema jimbegwilwe na a Nnungu, malinga nkushenga akwete lunda, aolile nshingi gwa nyumba na mundu juna gwaishe shenga pa ntundu jakwe. Ikabheje kila mundu alolesheye shakuti shenga panani jakwe.
11 For no man can lay another foundation besides that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Jwakwa mundu juna shaolele maimbo ga shenga, paolelwe pala, yani a Yeshu Kilishitu.
12 And if any man builds upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
Ibhaga mundu shaashenje panani jakwe, kwa shaabhu eu maganga ga ela eu maganga ga bhei jikuklungwa, na juna shaashenjele nkali mikongo eu maamba eu manyai.
13 each man's work will become manifest. For the day will make it known, because it is revealed by fire. And the fire will test each man's work of what kind it is.
Ikabheje, lyubha lya ukumu liengo lya kila mundu shilibhoneshe mobha gushibhaishe a Kilishitu. Pabha, lyene lyubhalyo a Nnungu shibhapime kushimilika kwa kila liengo.
14 If any man's work that he built on will remain, he will receive benefit.
Monaga shashenjile mundu shibhonekaga kulonjeya, bhai shaposhele upo.
15 If any man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but so as through fire.
Ikabheje shashenjile mundu shitinikaga, bhai, akapegwa upo, ikabheje nnyene shatapulwe mbuti akolobhweshe pa moto.
16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Bhuli, nkakwimanyanga kuti mmanganya ni likanisha, na kuti Mbumu jwa a Nnungu anatama mmunda jenunji?
17 If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy this man, for the temple of God is holy, which ye are.
Bhai, mundu aangabhanyaga likanisha lya a Nnungulyo, a Nnungu shibhanng'angabhanye jwene mundujo, pabha likanisha lya a Nnungu, ni lya Ukonjelo na lyene likanisha lya a Nnungulyo, ni mmanganyanji.
18 Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Nnaitembanje! Mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji aiganishiyaga kuti ashikola lunda malinga lwa pa shilambolyo, mbaya aiputuye nkupinga akole lunda lwa kweli. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He who catches the wise in their craftiness,
Pabha lunda lwa pa shilambolyo pano ni ungumba kwa a Nnungu. Na Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gakuti, “A Nnungu bhanakwaakamulanga bhakwetenje lunda, nkupenya kwabhonji.”
20 and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that they are vain.
Kabhili Majandiko gakuti, “Bhakulungwa bhamumanyi ng'aniyo ya bhakwetenje lunda kuti ikapwaa.”
21 Therefore let not one man boast in men. For all things are yours,
Bhai mundu anaipunile bhandu. Pabha indu yowe yenunji.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours,
Ibhaga a Pauli, eu a Apolo, eu a Kepa, eu shilambolyo, eu gumi na kuwa, eu indu ipali, nnaino na ikwiya, yowe ni yenunji,
23 and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
ikabheje mmanganya ni bha a Kilishitu na bhalabho a Kilishitu ni bha a Nnungu.
