1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
Nne a Pauli njemilwe kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, na Bhakilishitu ajangu a Shoshiteneshi ngunakunnjandishilanga,
2 To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.
mmanganya likanisha lya a Nnungu nninginji ku Kolinto. Nninginji bha ukonjelo nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, nshemilwenje mmanganje bhandu bha a Nnungu pamo na bhandu bhowe bhakwaajuganga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali bhakulungwa bhabhonji na bhetu.
3 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu, na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha bhashikumpanganga nema jabho pitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
5 That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
Pabha, kwa lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu nshishulushilwanga kwa kila shindu. Nshikolanga shikono sha lumanyio lowe na kombola kubheleketa.
6 As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
Malinga ukong'ondelo gwa a Kilishitu shiushite malila mmitima jenunji,
7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
wala nkatubhilwanga shipaji shoshowe, nnilolelanga kubhonekana kwabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
8 Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bhenebho shibhanshimilikanje mmanganya mpaka kumpelo, nnabhonekanje nshilebhanga lyubha lya kwiya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu lila.
9 God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
A Nnungu bha kulupalika, bhashinkunshemanga mmanganya mmanganje shindu shimo na bhana bhabho a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
Ashaalongo, ngunakunshondelesheyanga kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu kuti, gunkubheleketanga gabhe gamo, kunapagwe kugabhanyika munkumbi gwenunji, ikabhe nkolanje ng'aniyo imo na ndumbililo imo.
11 For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Pabha ashaalongo ajangu, njilugulilwa ga ngani jenunji na bhandunji bha ulongo gwa a Koloe kuti, gushipagwa mpwai munkumbi gwenunji.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Bhai, shingupinga bheleketa ni sheshino, kila mundu anabheleketa mwakwe. Juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Pauli,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Apolo,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Kepa”, na juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Kilishitu.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Bhuli, a Kilishitu bhashigabhanyika? Bhuli, a Pauli ni bhakomelwe munshalabha kwa ligongo lyenunji? Eu bhuli, mwashinkubhatishwanga kwa lina lya a Pauli?
14 I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha nangammatisha mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji ikabhe a Kilishipashi na a Gayo pe.
15 Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
Kwa nneyo jwakwa shaabhelekete kuti ashibhatishwa kwa lina lyangu.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
Elo, naabhatishenje a Shitepana na bha likaja lyabho, punda bhanganyabho, kwali monaga nammatishe mundu juna.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
A Kilishitu bhanganduma kubhatisha, ikabhe nunguye Ngani ja Mmbone. Na kwene lunguyako kunakulupalile lunda lwa shigundu, nkupinga kuwa kwa a Kilishitu munshalabha kunapetekuywe.
18 For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.
Pabha ntenga gwa kuwa kwa a Yeshu munshalabha kwa bhaobhanga ni ungumba, ikabheje kwetu uwe tuli muntapulo gwa gwene ntenga go, ni mashili ga a Nnungu.
19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
Pabha ishijandikwa, “Shing'angabhanye lunda lwabhonji, na lumanyio lwa bhaashomanga shinilukane.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Bhai, luli kwei lunda lwa bhakwetenje lunda? Bhalinginji kwei bhaajiganya bha shalia ja a Musha? Ali kwei jwa mitau jwa gene mobha gano? A Nnungu bhashikulutenda lunda lwa bhandu bha pashilambolyo ubhelu. (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.
Pabha kwa lunda lwa a Nnungu, bhandu bhakwetenje lunda bhakakombolanga kwaamanya a Nnungu. Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaatapulanga bhakwaakulupalilanga, kwa shene shibhakushibhonanga bhakwetenje lunda kuti ungumba, yani ntenga gutulunguya
22 For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Pabha Bhayaudi bhanapinganga ilangulo na Bhagiliki bhanaloleyanga lunda.
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
Ikabheje uwe tunakwaalunguya a Kilishitu bhapotekwe munshalabha. Ku Bhayaudi ndabhila na kubhandu bha ilambo ina ungumba,
24 But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
ikabheje kwa bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, a Kilishitu ni mashili na lunda lwa a Nnungu.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Pabha ubhonekana ungumba gwa a Nnungu ushikola lunda kupunda lwa bhandu, kubhoneka kunyegala kwa a Nnungu, kushikola mashili kupunda mashili ga bhandu.
26 For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
Ashaapwanga, nkumbushilanje mobha gumwashemilwenje na a Nnungu, bhakwetenje lunda bhakashulukenjeje nkali kwa lunda lwa shigundu, bhabhagwinji bhakamanyikenjeje na wala bhakakwetenjeje indu.
27 But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.
Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashinkuiagula indu ya shibhelu, nkupinga bhaapetekuyanje bhakwetenje lunda, na bhashinkuiagula indu ya nyegaywa nkupinga kwaapetekuyanga bhandu bhakwetenje mashili.
28 And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:
A Nnungu bhashinkuagula indu ya nyegala yangali mashili ya pashilambolyo, numbe indu ya nyegala yabhonekaga mbuti ikapaliji, nkupinga bhaipetekuye indu ibhoneka ya mmbone ku bhandunji.
29 That no flesh should glory in his sight.
Bhai, jwakwa mundu shaipunile shoshowe kwa a Nnungu.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
A Nnungu bhayene bhashikunnundanyanga na a Kilishitu Yeshu. A Nnungu bhashikwaatenda a Kilishitu bhabhe lunda lwetu na aki jetu, na pitila bhenebho uwe tunalundana na a Nnungu kubha bhandu bhabho bha ukonjelo, na bhawetenje aki na bhagombolwenje.
31 That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
Bhai, malinga shiijandikwe, “Apinga kwiipuna, bhai, aipunile liengo lya Bhakulungwa.”
