1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
Cakubinga mobanse bame, ndiya kwamba nenjamwe mbuli bantu bakute Mushimu Uswepa, nsombi pakwamba nenjamwe, ndalikumuboneti bantu bakumubili, nambi batwanike muli Klistu.
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,
Ndalamupa mukupa wakunwa, nteco cakulya cayuma yuma sobwe, pakwinga mwalikamutana mushika pacimo cakulya, nambi pacino cindi nkamuna mushika pacimo cakulya cayuma yuma.
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?
Pakwinga bwikalo bwenu bulyeti bwikalo bwabantu bamucishi capanshi, neco pakati penu pali munyono ne kutanyumfwana, sena ici nkacilaleshengeti bwikalo bwenu bucili bwikalo bwa bantu bapa cishi capanshi, kayi mucikonkela bwikalo bwa bantu bamucishi capanshi?
4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
Amwe mukute kwambeti, “Mulakonkelenga Paulo,” Banenu bakute kwambeti, “Balakonkelenga Apolo,” Sena mwapusana ne bantu bulyo?
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.
Inga Apolo niyani? Paulo niyani? Twense tobasebenshi ba Lesa balamubonesha nshila ya kushoma muli Yesu Klistu. Uliyense lasebensenga ncito Mwami njalamupa.
6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
Ame ndalabyala mbuto isho nshaletilila menshi Apolo, nsombi Lesa ewalashikulisha.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Mulabono kwambeti shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi paliya ncobabelepo, nsombi Lesa eukute kushikulisha.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
Neco paliya kupusana pakati pali shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi, pakwinga Lesa nakape cilambo muntu uliyense kwelana nencito njalikwinsa.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Afwe tobasebenshi ba Lesa, amwe njamwe libala lyakendi, kayi njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa.
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.
Kupitila munkumbo nshalampa Lesa, ame pakuba shikwibaka wabuya ndalemba ne kubamba cena pakwibaka kwambeti naumbi muntu aibakepo, nsombi uliyense acenjele mwalebakilinga.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Pakwinga paliya muntu wela kutala ne kwimba lulindi pambi, kushiya apo patalwa kendi, apo patalwa ni Yesu Klistu.
12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Palulindi apo patalwa muntu ngawibakapo ne mabwe a golide nambi asilifa nambi mabwe abeka beka nambi bitondo nambi mwila nambi ne matete.
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.
Nomba pabusuba bwakwisa Klistu, incito sha muntu uliyense nishikabonekele, pabusuba ubo mulilo nukayubulule incito isho patuba tuu! Uwo mulilo nukelekeshe mushobo wa ncito shamuntu uliyense.
14 If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
Na incito sha muntu shikabule kupya ne mulilo, uyo walebakapo nakapewe cilambo.
15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
Lino na incito sha muntu shikapye ne mulilo okwambeti nendi nakataikilwe byonse, nomba kupuluka kwa muntuyu nikukabeti layokolwa mumulilo.
16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
Sena nkamucishi kwambeti njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi Mushimu wakendi ukute kwikala mulijamwe?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Neco na muntu wononga ng'anda, ya Lesa nendi Lesa, nakamononge muntuyo, pakwinga ng'anda ya Lesa yaswepa kayi ng'andeyo njamwe.
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)
Kamutalibepanga, napali muntu lalibonongeti ukute mano mubwikalo bwa pano pacishi capanshi, kabani muluya, kwambeti abe wamano ancine ncine. (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.”
Kuli Lesa, mano apano pacishi capanshi nabulyo, pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa ukute kubekata bamano mubumaluku bwabo.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
Kayi Mabala alambangeti, “Mwami ucinsheti manjeyaulwa abantu bamano nabulyo.”
21 Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
Neco muntu katalitunta pacebo ca bantu banendi, pakwinga bintu byonse nibyenu.
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,
Nambi Paulo nambi Apolo nambi Petulo nambi cishi capanshici ne buyumi nambi lufu nambi bintu bilipo lelo kayi ne bintu byeti bikese kuntangu byonse nibyenu.
23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
Nomba nenjamwe mobakendi Klistu, nendi Klistu niwa Lesa.
