1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
Nene Pauli nikemeliwi kuvya mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu, kwa maganu ga Chapanga, na mlongo Sostene.
2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
Tikuvayandikila nyenye msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu mwemuvi Kolinto. Nyenye mukemeliwi kuvya vandu va Chapanga kwa kuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu, pamonga na vandu voha popoha pevakumuyupa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu mweavi BAMBU witu na wavi mewawa.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Nikuvaganila uteke na ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
Nikumsengusa Chapanga wangu magono goha ndava yinu, ndava ya mota ya Chapanga yaavapelili kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu.
5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
Muni kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu mmemiswi muvindu vyoha. Mpewi luhala lwa kukokosa na kumanya.
6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you, )
Ujumbi wa Kilisitu uyimi chakukangamala mugati yinu,
7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
hati nakupungukiwa na chipanji chochoa kuhuma kwa Mpungu Msopi pemwilindila kugubukuliwa kwa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mwene yati akuvakangamalisa mbaka pamwishu mulolekanayi mwangali kuhoka ligono leiwuya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Chapanga ndi msadikika, avakemili muvyai pamonga na mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu BAMBU witu.
10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
Valongo vangu, nikuvayupa neju kwa liina la BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, mvya pamonga mukila lijambu lemwijova, mkoto kukomana pagati yinu mvya liholo limonga na lijambu limonga.
11 For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
Valongo vangu, mambu genigayuwini kuhuma kwa vandu va Kuloe, kuvya mwihutana pagati yinu.
12 But I speak of this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Nigana kujova cheniyuwini kuhuma kwinu, mmonga ijova, “Nene nikumlanda Pauli,” Yungi, “Nene nikumlanda Apolo,” Yungi, “Nene nikumlanda Kefa,” Na yungi ijova, “Nene nikumlanda Kilisitu.”
13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
Wu, Kilisitu agavanyiki? Wu, Pauli ndi mweavambiwi pamsalaba ndava yinu? Amala mwabatiziwi kwa liina la Pauli?
14 I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
Nikumsengusa Chapanga nabatizi lepi mundu hati mmonga winu ndi nga Kilisipo na Gayo.
15 that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
Hinu kawaka mweihotola kujova abatiziwi kwa liina langu.
16 Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
Chakaka nabatizi kavili vandu pa lukolo lwa Stefani, nambu kawaka nimanyili lepi ngati nabatizi mundu yungi.
17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
Kilisitu anitumi lepi kubatiza vandu, nambu anitumili kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina. Anitumili kukokosa changali kuhuvalila maholo ga vandu vangi, muni makakala ga lifwa cha Kilisitu pamsalaba chikoto kubadilishwa.
18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
Kwa vala vevayagili ujumbi wa chifwa cha Kilisitu pamsalaba uyimu, nambu tete mwetivii munjila ya usangula, ujumbi wenuwo ndi makakala ga Chapanga.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Yati nihalibisa luhala lwa vevavi na luhala na yati niyagisa umanya wa vevavi na luhala.”
20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Avi koki mweavi na luhala? Avi koki mweasomili? Avi koki mweamanyili kudandaula mambu ga mulima? Wu, Chapanga ahengili lepi luhala lwa mulima uwu kuvya ndi uyimu? (aiōn g165)
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
Chapanga igana kuvasangula vala vevakumsadiki kwa njila ya makokoselu gegilolekana kuvya mambu ga uyimu. Akitili chenichi ndava muni vandu vihotola lepi kummanya Chapanga kwa luhala lwavi vene.
22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
Vayawudi vigana chinamtiti na Vagiliki vilonda luhala.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
Nambu tete tikumkokosa Kilisitu mweavambiwi pamsalaba. Kwa Vayawudi lijambu lenili ndi unonopa, na kwa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi ndi uyimu,
24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
nambu kwa vala na Chapanga, Vayawudi na vandu vanga Vayawudi, Kilisitu ndi Makakala ga Chapanga na luhala lwa Chapanga.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Muni chechilolekana kuvya uyimu wa Chapanga ndi luhala kuliku luhala lwa vandu, na chechilolekana kuvya ungolongondi wa Chapanga, ndi chivii na makakala kuliku makakala ga vandu.
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
Hinu valongo vangu muholalela chamwakemiliwi na Chapanga, lepi voha pagati yinu vevana luhala kulandana na maholo ga vandu, vamahele lepi pagati yinu vevivya na makakala, amala ukulu.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
Chapanga ahagwili gala mulima ukugawona ga uyimu, muni avapela soni vana luhala, na agahagwili gala mulima ukugawona kuvya ndi ungolongondi muni avapelayi soni vana makakala.
28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
Chapanga ahagwili vindu pahi viviveveswa na mulima uwu, na vindu vingali kuvya muni agahalabisa mambu gevikemela kuvya ga chakaka.
29 so that no flesh should boast before God.
Chapanga akitili chenichi kawaka mundu wa kumeka palongolo yaki.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
Chapanga ndi mweavawunganisi na Kilisitu Yesu. Chapanga amkitili Kilisitu kuvya luhala witu, kwa njila yaki titepulaniswi na Chapanga, tivya tavandu vetibaguliwi ndava ya Chapanga na kugombolewa.
31 that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
Hinu ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Mweigana kumeka, ndi, amekelayi ndava ya lihengu la BAMBU.”
