1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Eshi umuntu aliwazwe ante aje wawomba mbombo wa Kristi wemelezi hwa siri zya Ngolobhe.
2 Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Hueli shashihwaziwa huwemelezi huje wawe wasuwelwa.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
Ila huline ane hantu hadodo hani aje ilongwa namwe, au indongwa ya awantu. Aje sagaihujilonga ane nimwene.
4 For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
Saga ihujilonga ni mwene ane sagaje ane indi nuugolosu yu Bwana yahundonga.
5 Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.
Eshi msahatamshe liolionti ilya lonje shagasele amasala gahwezye uBwana. Ahaigalete apazeru amambo gagafisilwe mhinsi na hugaweshe pazelu gahumoyo. Wekaweka ahaiposhela imbombo zyakwe afume hua Ngolobhe.
6 Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not [to go] beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.
Eshi muasahala muwalendu wane ane ni mwene nu Apolo inshilie idala eli kwaajili yenyu. Aje afume humwetu muwajie amanyile injango usahawale hanii shazyandihwe, “Huje nomo hataweka yali na malingo hwa wamwawo.
7 For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
Eshi yunanu yahwenye payo nu wamwao? Henu ulinaho awe, saga uhaposheye wene? Nkuhaposheye nkasanga mwahawombile esho?
8 Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
Shatayari mlinavyo vyonti vyamwanzanga! Shatayari mliwakami! Shamwandile atawale-aje mkhente haani ashile ate! Lioli, ihuwalawila mkhate uwinza aje tikhante peka namwe.
9 For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.
Isewa aje Ungolobhe atiweshele ate awe watume hutuloleshie uumalishilo usitari wa makutanilo aje wantu wawalongwilwe abudye. Tilije watamasha munsi, awatumihwawantu.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.
Ate lilinje walema hwa Kristi, lakini ninyi ni wenye hekima katika Kristo. Tu wanyonge, lakini amwe mlini naha mlinishishima, lakini ate watisyosyezye.
11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
Hata isala ezi tihinizala na tumele, sagatilina menda, tukhomwa, sagatuli napakhale.
12 and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
Tuwomba imbombo hani hu nyowezyetu tetete. Watisosyezye, tihuwasaya.
13 being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
Lwatilawa tujimba. Lwatilingwa tupoma myee. Tileho, wahutiwazizya aje sagatuleho munsi tilitakataka humambo gonti.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Sagaihwandia amambo ego huwasosye ila huwagomosye amwe avye wana wane wimbaganile.
15 For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel.
Hata nkhamli wafundizi winchi hwa Kristi, sagamlina wadaada winchi. Ane indi daada wenyu hwa Yesu Ukristi ashilile inzwi.
16 I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me.
Eshi ihumbalawa mfuante ane.
17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
Esho shanahazanga aje itume uTimotheo humwenyu yigene ane mwana ugolosu hwa Bwana. Anza huwawuzisye amadala gane hwa Yesu nanzi shimanyizya iviwanza vivileho ponti.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
Eshi awamo walinamalingo wawomba aje sangainza humwenyu.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power.
Ane ihuenza humwenyu shishi uBwana nkasongwe. Hwinzamanye aje sanganjango zyao wene wawalina malingo, imbalahuzyenye ingovu zyao.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
Umwene wa Ngolobhe sangaulini njago wene uwene uliwi ngovu.
21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
Mhwanza yenu? Inenze nu desa au inenze nu ulugano wa Ipepo inyinza iya pumu?
