1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
Valongo vangu, nanga hotola kulongela na nyenye ngati vandu mwemuvi na Mpungu wa Chapanga. Naganikiwayi kulongela na nyenye ngati vandu va pamulima, ngati vana vadebe muwumi wa Chikilisitu.
2 I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;
Yaganikiwayi kuvaliha kwa mavele, lepi kwa chakulya chiyumu, muni mwajitendelekili lepi kupokela. Ndi mbaka hinu mwakona kujitendelekela.
3 for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?
Muni nyenye mwakona vandu va pamulima. Wu, lepi chakaka kwakona kuvi na wihu na ngondo pagati yinu? Mambu ago gilangisa njwe kuvya nyenye mwakona vandu va pamulima, mwitama wumi wa chimundu.
4 For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are ye not men?
Mmonga winu peijova, “nene ndi mlanda wa Pauli,” Na yungi ijova, “nene ndi mlanda wa Apolo,” Wu, yeniyo yilangisa lepi kuvya mwakona mwitama ngati vandu va mulima uwu?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.
Hinu, Apolo ndi yani? Na Pauli ndi yani? Tete ndi vatumisi va Chapanga, mwativaletili nyenye sadika. Kila mmonga winu ihenga lihengu leapewili na BAMBU.
6 I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.
Nene namijili mbeyu na Apolo ayitilili manji, nambu Chapanga ndi mweaimelisi.
7 So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.
Mweamijili na mweayitalili manji chindu lepi, Chapanga ndi mwamelisi mbeyu.
8 But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Yula mwamijili na mweiyitalili manji voha vamonga, Chapanga yati akumpela njombi kila mundu ndava ya lihengu laki leakitili.
9 For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
Muni tete ndi vahenga lihengu va Chapanga, na nyenye ndi mgunda waki. Mewawa nyenye ndi lijengu la Chapanga.
10 According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.
Ndava ya ubwina wa Chapanga nipewili lihengu ili, ngati mundu mweavi na luhala mweijenga, navikili mkingisa mundu yungi ijenga panani yaki. Ndi chabwina kila mundu alola bwina cheijenga.
11 For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Kawaka mundu mweihotola kuvika mkingisa panani ya mkingisa wungi, neju ya wula weumali kuvikiwa ndi Yesu Kilisitu.
12 Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
Panani ya mkingisa wenuo mundu ihotola kujenga kwa zahabu, feza amala maganga, ihotola kujenga kwa mikongo, mahamba amala manyahi.
13 the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.
Nambu lihengu la kila mundu yati lilolekana ligono Kilisitu peakuyifiyula. Muni ligono lenilo yati wihumila motu, na motu wenuo ndi yati wipima ubwina wa lihengu la kila mundu peavi.
14 If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
Yikavya cheajengili mundu panani ya mkingisa wenuo chitinyika lepi na motu wenuo, yati ipewa njombi,
15 If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.
Ngati chajengili yati chitinyika, yati ikosa njombi yaki, nambu mwene yati isanguliwa ngati mundu mwealemili mumotu.
16 Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Wu, mumanyi lepi kuvya nyenye ndi Nyumba ya Chapanga, na Mpungu wa Chapanga witama mugati yinu?
17 If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
Hinu, mundu mwaihalabisa Nyumba ya Chapanga ya msopi, Chapanga yati akumuhalabisa mewa, muni Nyumba ya Chapanga, yene ndi nyenye.
18 Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Mundu yoyoha akotoka kujikonga, pagati yinu kujilola kuvya avi na luhala wa pamulima, mbanga avyai myimu muni apatayi luhala lwa chakaka. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.
Muni luhala lwa pamulima ndi uyimu palongolo ya Chapanga. Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Chapanga akuvadapa vevavi na luhala mukuchejela kwavi.”
20 And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
Na Mayandiku gangi gijova, “BAMBU amanyili kuvya maholo ga vevavi na luhala kuvya gangali lihengu.”
21 So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.
Hinu, mundu akotoka kuvamekela vandu. Muni kila chindu ndi chinu.
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;
Yikavya Pauli amala Apolo amala Kefa, mulima amala wumi amala lifwa, mambu ga hinu amala gegibwela goha ginu nyenye.
23 and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
Nambu nyenye ndi vandu va Kilisitu, na Kilisitu ndi wa Chapanga.
