1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Paulo, yakutibhwai ni Kristu kujha mtume kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, ni Sosthene ndongo bhitu,
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
kwa kanisa laliyele Korintho kwa bhala ambabho bhabhekuu wakfu katika Yesu Kristu. Ambobho bhakutibhu kujha bhanu bhatakatifu. Tikabhayandikhila kabhele bhala bhoa bhabhakalikutila lihina Bwana bhwa tete Yesu Kristu katika mahali poha, Bwana wa bhene ni watete.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema ni amani ujelai kwa yhomo kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi yhitu ni Bwana wa yhoto Yesu Kristu.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Magono ghoha nikanshukuru K'yara wanene kwa ajiri ya yhomo, kwa ndabha ya neema ya K'yara ambajho Kristu Yesu abhapelili.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Abhafuanyiri kuya matajiri mu khila njela, katika usemi ni pamonga maarifa ghoha.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Abhafuanyiri matajiri, kama ushuhuda kuhusu Kristu ya kwamba asibitishwi kuya kweli miongoni mwa yhomo.
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Henu mwiphonghokiwa lefi karama sa kiroho, kama mkiyele ni hamu ya kulendelela ufunuo wa Bwana watete Yesu Kristu.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ilotakubhaimarisha muenga kabhele hadi kumwishu, ili mkolokulaumibhwa ligono lya Bwana watete Yesu Kristu.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
k'yara ni mwaminifu ambayi abhakutili muenga mu ushirika wa mwana munu, Yesu Kristu Bwana watete.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Henu nikabhasihi bhakaka ni bhadada yangu, kuphetela lihina lya Bwana watete Yesu Kristu, kwamba bhoha muyedekai, na kwamba kukolokuya ni mugawanyiko miongoni mwayhomo. Nikabhasihi kwamba muungane pamonga mu nia imonga na katika kusudi limonga.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
Kwani bhanu bha nyumba ya Kloe bhanitaarifu kuya kuyele mgawanyiko wiyeudelela miongoni mwayhomo.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Niyele nimaana eye: Khila mmonga wayhomo ijobha, “Nene ni wa Paulo,” au “Nene ni wa Apolo”, au “Nene ni wa Kefa” au “Nene ni wa Kristu”.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Je! Kristu agawanyiki? Je! Paulo asulibibhu kwa ajiri yatete? Je! Abatisibhu kwa lihina lya Paulo?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Nikanshukuru K'yara kwa ndabha nambatisilepi yeyoha yhola, isipokuwa Krispo na Gayo.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Eye yayele kwamba ayelelepi yeywoha yhola ngajobhili mwabatisibhu kwa lihina lya nene.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
(Kabhele nabhabatisi bha nyumba ya Stephania. Zaidi ya apabahu, nimanyili lepi kama nabatisi munu yhongi yeywoha yhola).
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
Kwa ndabha, Kristu anitumilepi kubatisya bali kuhubiri injili. Anitumilepi kuhubiri kwa malobhi gha hekima gha kibinadamu, ili kwamba nghofho ya msalaba wa Kristu ikolokubhosibhwa.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Kwa ndabha ujumbe wa msalaba ni upuuzi kwa bhala bhabhifwa. Lakini kwa bhala ambabho K'yara akabhaokola, ni nghofho ya K'yara.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Nilotakuiharibu hekima yabhabhayele ni busara. Nilota kuharibu ufahamu wa bhayele ni akili.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age (aiōn g165)? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
Ayele ndaku munu yayele ni busara? Ayendaku yayele ni elimu? Ayendaku nsemaji nshawishi wa dunia eye? Je, K'yara aigeuzi lepi hekima ya dunia eye kuya ujinga? (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Tangu dunia iyele mu hekima ya muene yammanyililepi K'yara, yampendisi K'yara mu ujinga wa bhene wa kuhubiri ili kuokola bhala bhabhiamini.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Kwa Bhayahudi bhikota ishara sa miujiza ni kwa bhayunani bhilonda hekima.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Lakini tikamhubiri Kristu yasulibibhu yayele kikwazo kwa bhayahudi na ni ujinga kwa bhayunani.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Lakini kwa bhala ambabho bhabhakutibhu ni K'yara, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, tikamhubiri Kristo kama nghofho ni hekima ya K'yara.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Kwa ndabha ujinga wa k'yara iyele ni hekima kuliko ya bhanadamu, ni udhaifu wa K'yara uyele ni nghofho zaidi ya bhanadamu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Mulangayi wito wa K'yara yhomo, bhakaka ni bhadada bhangu. Si bhingi kati ya yhomo ni hekima hekima mu fiwango fya kibinadamu. Si bhingi kati ya yhomo mwahogoliki mu ukuu.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
Lakini K'yara achaguili fhenu fijinga fya dunia ili kufiaibisya kakujele ni nghofho.
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that do not exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
K'yara achaguili khela kakujele kya hali ya pasi na kakidharaulibhu mu dunia. Achaguili hata fhenu ambafyo fabelili kubhalangibhwa kuya khenu, kwa kukifuanya sikhenu fhenu fafujele ni samani.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Afuanyili naha ili akolokuya yeywoha yhola yaayele ni sababu ya kwifuna mbele sa muene.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Kwa ndabha ya khela K'yara kaakhetili, henu muyele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu, ambajhe afuanyiki hekima kwa ajili yatete kuhoma kwa K'yara. Ayele haki yetete, utakatifu ni ukombozi.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Kama matokeo, kama andiko likijobha, “Yakisifu, ajisifwai katika Bwana.”
