1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
Ni nene, kaka ni dada yangu, najobhili lepi ni muenga kama bhanu kiroho, lakini kama ni bhanu bha kimbhele. Kama ni bhana bhadebe mu Kristu.
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,
Nabhanywesili maziwa na si nyama, kwa ndabha mwayele lepi tayari kwa kulya nyama. Na hata henu muyelepi tayari.
3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
Kwa ndabha muenga mwakhona ni bha mbele. kwa ndabha wivu ni majifuno ghabonikile miongoni mwenu. Je, hamuishi kulengana na mbhele, na je, mwigenda lepi kama kawaida ya kibinadamu?
4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
Kwa ndabha mmonga ijobha, “Nikamfuata Paulo” Yhongi ijobha “Nikamfuata Apolo,” muishu lepi kama bhanadamu?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.
Apolo ni niani? ni Paulo ni niani? bhatumishi bha yhola mwamini kwa khila ambayi Bwana ampelili jukumu.
6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
Nene napanda, Apolo akasopili masi, lakini K'yara akuzili.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Henu, si ya kwelili wala yasopili masi ayele kyokyokhela. Lakini ni K'yara yaikuza.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
Henu yaipanda ni yasopili masi bhoa ni sawa, ni khila mmonga ilota kupokela ujira wake kulengana ni mbombo ya muene.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Kwa ndabha tete tu bhatitenda mbombo bha K'yara, muenga ni bustani ya K'yara lijengo la K'yara.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
Kutokana ni neema ya K'yara yanipelibhu kama mjenzi mbaha, naubhekili msingi, ni yhongi ijenga panani pa muene. Lakini munu ayele makini jinsi kaijenga panani pa muene.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Kwa ndabha ayelepi yaibhuesya kujenga msingi bhongi zaidi ya waijengibhu, ambabhu ni Yesu Kristu.
12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Henu, kama mmonga wa yhomo ajengili panani pa muene kwa dhahabu, hela, maganga gha thamani, mabhehe, manyasi, au mathondo,
13 his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.
Mbombo ya muene yilota kufunulibhwa, kwa muanga wa pamusi wilota kudhihirishwa ni muoto. Muota wilota kujaribu ubora wa mbombo wa khila mmonga kyafuanyili.
14 If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
Kama kyokyokhela munu kyajengili kitabaki, muene ilokupoela zawadi.
15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
Lakini kama mbombo ya munu ikiteketela kwa muoto, ilota kukabha hasara. Lakini muene ilota kuokolibhwa, kama fhela kuyepuka mu muoto.
16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
Mumanyilepi kujha muenga ni hekalu lya K'yara ni ndabha roho gha K'yara itama mugati mwa yhomo?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Tivai munu akaliharibu lihekalu lya K'yara, K'yara ilota kumharibu munu yhola. Kwandabha hekalu lya K'yara ni takatifu, na hwiyo ni muenga.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Munu akalokhwidanganya tivai yeywoha yhale miongoni mwayhomo udhani ayele ni hekima katika nyakati ese, ayele tivai, “Mjinga” ndipo ilokuya ni hekima. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
Kwandabha hekima ya dunia eye ni ujinga palongolopa K'yara kwandabha ujandikibhu, “Bhakakamula bhabheyele ni hekima kwa hila sya bhene.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
ni kabhele “Bwana imanya mawazo ya bhabhayele ni busara ni batili”
21 Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
Henu munu akolokwifuna bhanadamu! Kwandabha fhenu fyoha ni f'ayhomho.
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
Tivai ni Paulo, au Apolo, au kefa, au dunia, au maisha au kifo au fhenu fafiyele, au fafilota kuya fyiha ni fayhomho.
23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
Ni muenga ni bha Kristu ni wa K'yara.
