1 Corinthians 16
1 Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
Henu kuhusu michango kwa ndabha jha bhaumini, kama kyanajhelekisi mu makanisa gha Galatia, fefuefu mwilondeka kubhomba.
2 On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
Khila ligono lya kubhwandelu lya wiki, khila mmonga bhinu abhekayi khenu fulani kando ni kukibheka, kama kyamwibhwesya. Mubhombayi naha ili kwamba kusijhi ni michango pa nihida.
3 Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
Na panibetakuhida, jhejhioha jha mwibetakun'sala, nibetakundaghisya pamonga ni barua kuhomesya sadaka jha jhomu okho Yerusalemu.
4 And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
Ni kama jhibhwesekana ni nene kulota kabhele, bhibwta kulota pamonga ni nene.
5 After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
Lakini nibetakuhida kwa muenga panip'eta Makedonia. Kwa kujha nibeta kup'eta Makedonia.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
Labda nibhwesya kutama ni muenga au hata kumala majira gha mepu, ili kwama mubhwesiajhi kunitangatila mu safari jha nene, popoha pa nilota.
7 For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
Kwa kujha nitarajila lepi kubhabhona henu kwa muda bhufupi. Kwani nitumaini kutama ni muenga kwa muda fulani, kama Bwana ibetakuniruhusu.
8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
Lakini nibetakutama Efeso mpaka Pentekoste,
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
kwa ndabha jha nene, ni kujhe ni maadui bhamehele bhabhakanip'enga.
10 If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
Henu bho Timotheo ihida, mubhonajhi kujha ajhe ni muenga bila kutila, ibhomba mahengu gha Bwana, kama kyanibhomba.
11 No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
Munu jhejhioha asin'jimuli. Muni'tangatilayi mu njela jha muene jha amani, ili kwamba abhwesiajhi kuhida kwa nene. Kwa kujha nikan'tarajila ahidayi pamonga ni bhalongo bhangu.
12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
Henu kuhusiana ni ndongobhitu Apolo. Nampelili muoyo nesu kubhagondela muenga pamonga ni bhalongobhangu. Lakini aamuili kubela kuhida henu. Hata naha, ibeta kuhida paibetakujha ni nafasi.
13 Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
Mujhelayi mihu, mujhemayi imara, mubhombayi kama bhagosi, mujhelayi ni nghofu.
14 Do everything in love.
Basi ghoha gha mwibhomba ghabhombekayi mu bhupendo.
15 You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
Mujhimanyili kaya jha Stefana. Mmanyili kujha bhajhele bhiamini bha kubhwandu okhu Akaya, ni kwamba bhakibhekili bhene mu huduma jha bhaamini. Ni henu nikabhasihi, kaka ni bhal'omb'o bhangu,
16 to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
Mujhelayi mwebhanyenyekefu kwa bhanu kama abhu, ni kwa khila munu jhaitangatila mu mahengu ni bhabhomba mahengu pamonga ni tete.
17 I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
Na nihobhuiki kwa ujio bhwa Stefana, Fotunato, ni Akiko. Bhajhemili mahali ambapo muenga mlondekeghe kujha.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
Kwa kujha bhajhihobhuisi roho jha nene ni muenga. Kwa hiyo henu, mubhamanyayi bhanu kama abha.
19 The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
Makanisa gha Asia bhalaghisi salamu kwa muenga. Akila ni Priska bhikabhaponesya kup'elela Bwana, pamonga ni kanisa lyalijhele kunyumba kwa bhene.
20 All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Kaka ni bhalombo bhangu bhoha bhakabhaponesya. Mukiponesiajhi kwa busu takatifu.
21 This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
Nene, Paulo, nilemba naha kwa kibhokho kya jhoni.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
Kama jhejhioha an'ganilepi Bwana, basi laani ijhelayi panani pa muene. Bwana bhitu, hidayi!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
Neema jha Bwana Yesu ijhelayi namu.
24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Luganu lwa nene lujhelayi pamonga ni muenga kup'etela Yesu Kristu.
