1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes my brother,
Paulo, uveelangiwe nu Klisite Yesu ukhuva nsuhiwa khu lugano lwa Nguluve, nu Sosthene ulukholo lwetu,
2 to the church of God which is in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
khu mpelela ugwa Nguluve ugule khu Korinto, khu vavo vemekhiwe ndi tawa lya Yesu Klisite, vavo velangiwe ukhuva vanu vavalanche. Tukhovasimbela voni vavo viholetambula elitawa lya Nkhulude va vetu Yesu Klisite poponi, Nkhuludeva vavene nufwe.
3 grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ulukhungu nu lulundamano luve khulyomwe ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve dada vetu na Nkhuludeva vetu Yesu Klisite.
4 I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus;
Amanchova gooni nikhonsana uNguluve vango, khulyomwe ulwa khuva uluhungu lwa Nguluve yeyo u Klisite avapile.
5 that you are enriched by him in every thing, in all speech, and in all knowledge,
Avavekhile ukhuva vakhavi munjila nchoni, mu njovele na masage gooni.
6 even as the testimony concerning the Christ was con firmed among you,
Avavekhile avakhavi, ukhuva vatangeli khwa Klisite ukhuta emekhiwe ukhuva va yelweli mu ndyomwe.
7 so that you are deficient in no gift, while waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ulwa khuva samsigalile khekongelwa fya mepo, ndu mlenuvonogwe uwa hugulila uluvonekhelo lwa Ntwa vetu Yesu Klisite.
8 He also will establish you even to the end, and make you blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Alavakhangancha umwe isikhu nchoni, msite ukhudukhiwa palinchuva lya Ntwa vetu Yesu Klisite.
9 God is faithful, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
U Nguluve anyakhesa yoywa avaelangile umwe ndulundamano lwa nswambe Yesu Kliste Untwa viitu.
10 Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
Leno nikhovadova valokolo vangu numwe vakhancha vangu, mu litawa lya Ntwa vitu Yesu Klisite, ukhuta mwedekhe vuve vwusipali uvwusongelekhani khulyomwe. Nikhovadova ukhuta muve pupaninie nu uvunogwe.
11 For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.
Avanu avambujeenge uvwa Kloe vambolile ukhuta kuna mgawanyiko unaoendelea miongoni mwenu.
12 I mean this: that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Vambolile ukhuta, “One nele va Paulo,” apange “One nele va Apolo”, apange “One nele va Kefa” apange “One nele va Klisite”.
13 Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
Khukhuta u Klisite alepo pingi? Khukhuta u Paulo atoveleliwe pa khidaming'ani? apange mwaonchiwe khulitawa la Paulo?
14 I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Nikhondemya uNguluve ukhuta sanamwonche umunu uve avinchaga, nikhumbukha Krispo nu Gayo.
15 that no one may say that I immersed into my own name.
Ele polele ukhuta asipali uveyakheva inchova ukhuta mwaonchiwe khulitawa lango.
16 I did, indeed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.
(Navonchinche avambujenge uvwa Stephania. Sanikhumbukha ukhuta namwonchiche umunu uveavenchaga).
17 For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of the Christ should be deprived of its power.
Ulwa khuva, uKlisite saansukhe khukhuoncha, nasuhi khulumbilela elimenyu. Saansukhe khulumbelela khu mamenyu aga lukhala lwakhe munu, pwu amakha aga kidaming'ani khya Klisite gasite ukhukhenchiwa.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.
Ulwa khuva elimenyu lya kidaming'ani libediwa khu vavo vifwa. Khuvavo u Nguluve ikhovapokha, makha ga Nguluve.
19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will set aside the understanding of the prudent.
Ulwa khuva yesimbiwe, “Yaninangania ulukhala lwa vamanyi. Yaninangania uvumanyi vwa vanyalukhala.”
20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Alendakhu umunu unyaluhala? Alendakhu umwembi? Alendakhu unchofi uva khelunga ehee? U Nguluve syaasyetwile ulukhala lwa khelunga ehe ukhuva vwukhonyofu? (aiōn g165)
21 For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe.
Ukhuhuma nkhelunga khevile mu ndokhala lwa kyene savamanye uNguluve mbu khonyofu vwa vene uvwa khulumbelela nu khuvapokha vavo vikhwedekha.
22 For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;
Khu Wayahudi vivoncha ifikhwani fya khudega khu Wayunani vilonda ulokhala.
23 but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness:
Tukhundo mbelela u Klisite yoywa khepencho khu Wayahudi nu khu Wayunani vokhonyofu.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Pwu khu vavo vaelangiwe nu Nguluve, ava Yahudi na ava Yunani, tukhondombela u Klisite nda amakha nu lukhala lwa Nguluve.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Ulwa khuva uvokhonyofu vwa Nguluve vule nu lukhala khu vanu, nu uvusitamakha uvwa Nguluve vule na makha ukhulotelela khu vanu.
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you;
Lolaga ulwelango lwa Nguluve khulifwe, luwaoho nuve vakhancha vango. Sa mle vingi yomwe mwale nu lukhala ulwakhe vwu munu. Sa mle vingi yomwe mwale na amakha. Sa mle vingi yomwe mwaholiwe nu uvuvakha.
27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong;
Ulwa khuva u Nguluve akhalile ifinu ifikhonyofu ifya nkhelunga ili fisusiwe ifinya lukhala. U Nguluve akhalile ekhe vula makha khya nkelunga ukhukesosya ekhenya makha.
28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are;
U Nguluve akhekhalile khekhyo khya pasi khekhyo khyabediwagwa nkhelunga. Afikhalile ifinu fifyo safyavaliwe ukhuva finu, nu khufivekha ifinu ifya gaalama.
29 that no flesh should glory in his presence.
Avombile evwo pwu ave asipali uvakhweyinula pamikho ga mwene.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
Pwu ikhyakhevombile Nguluve leno mlegati mwa Klisite Yesu, yoywa avombikhe mmanyani ukhukhuma khwa Nguluve. Ale lweli khulyofwe, uvovalanche nu uvupokhi.
31 that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
Inave uluvonekhelo, ndavovwa elimenyu linchova, “Uvikheginia, eginiage mu litawa lya ntwa.”
