1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
U Paulo, wakiziwilwe nu Kristi Yesu abhe sontezwi whimagano ga Ngolobhe, nu Sosthene wholo wetu,
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.
whishibhanza sha Ngolobhe lyalyaleho hu Korintho, whabhala ambao bhabhe whelwe hushiputo wha Yesu Kristi bhabhali bhakwiziwe abhe bhantu bhasafi. Tihubhasimbila pia bhala bhonti bhabhahulikwizwa itawala lwa Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi kati amahali ponti, Ugosi wawo nu wetu.
3 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ineema nuwinza ibhe humwenyu afume wha Ngolobhe baba wetu nu Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
4 I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,
Insiku zyonti uhunsalifwa Ongolobhe wane kwa ajili yenyu, afwatanaje ni neema ya Ngolobhe ambayo uKristi uYesu abhapiye.
5 That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
Abhawombile abhe bhatabhazi katika kila idala, katika ayanje pamoja ni njele zyonti.
6 As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
Abhawombile atabhazi, hansi usimishizi ahusu uKristi aje ahakikizwe abhe lyoli peka nawo.
7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Eshi sagamopongoshewa ikalama zishimoyo, hansi shamuli ni hamu ya golele ugubulwe wa Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi.
8 Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ayihubhaimalisya amwe pia hadi humwisho, ili musalaumiwe isiku lya Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
9 God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ungolobhe golosu wabhakwizizye amwe katika uwushirika wa mwanawakwe, uYesu kristi Ugosi wetu.
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.
Eshi ihubhalabha nkulo nuyilombo bhane, ashilile widala lay Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi, abhe wonti bheteshe, na kwamba husahabhe ulugabhanyo mmiongoni mwenyu. Ihubhalabha aje mulemane mwenti nahuniya yeka na whikusudi lyeka.
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.
Huje abhantu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhambozezye aje huli amalehano gagahendela mumiongoni mwenyu.
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.
Indi ni maana ene: Kila weka mwikundi lyenyu ayanga, “Ane ni wa Paulo,” au “Ane ni wa Apolo”, au “Ane niwa Kefa” au “Ane niwa Kristi”.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Je! uKristi agabhanyishe? Je! uPaulo ayambele kwa ajili yenyu? Je! mwahozewelwe whitawa lya Paulo?
14 I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;
Ihusalifwa Ungolobhe aje saga na mozizye wowonti, ila u Krispo nu Gayo.
15 Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.
Ene yali huje hamuna wowonti wayanje aje mwahozewelwe whitawa lyane.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
(Na nawozizye bha munyumba ya Stephania. Hani yepo, sigihelewa aje namozizye umuntu uwenje wowonti).
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.
Afwatanaje U Kristi sagwantumile ahozye ila alombelele ibhangili. Sagaantumile alombelele hunongwa zinjele yishibinadamu, ili aje engovo yikhobhehanyo lya Kristi lisahefwewe.
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.
Afwatanaje intumi yikhobhehanyo walangani whabhala bhabhafwa. Ila whabhala ambao Ongolobhe ahubhaokoa, ngovo wha Ngolobhe.
19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.
Afwatanaje isimbililwe, “Nayihuyinanganya injele yibhibusala. Nayiunganya uwelewa wibhi njele.”
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)
Awhi umuntu winjele? awhi winsukulu? awhi wayanje washawishi wense ene? Aje, Ungolobhe sagaayigeuzizye injele yense ene abhe ukwelengusu? (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.
Afume ense ileho katika injele yakwe sagayamenye Ongolobhe, yasongwezye Ongolobhe katika ukwelengusu wawo walambele ili whuwaule bhala bhabhawheteha.
22 For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Whubhayahudi bhawozelezya iishara zimayele na Abhayunani bhawhanza ihekima.
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:
Eshi tilombelela uKristi wayembele, wahali visyo wha Bhayahudi na kwelengusu wha Bhayunani.
24 But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Lakini whabhala ambawo bhakwiziwe no Ngolobhe, Abhayahudi tihunobhelela uKristi hansi engovo ninjele ya Ngolobhe.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Abhe ukwelengusu wa Ngolobhe uli ninjele ashele abhanada, na uwuzowofu wa Ngolobhe whuline ngovo hani ya bhanadamu.
26 For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:
Enyi ukwiziwe wa Ngolobhe humwanya yenyu, kolo nu yelombo bhane. Sagabhinji bhenyu mwapapwilwe katika uwugosi.
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.
Ila Ungolobhe asaluye ivintu ivekwelengusu vyense ili huvisosye vivilininjele. Ungolobhe asaluye shili zohofu panse hushisosye shishili nengovo.
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:
Ungolobhe asaluye shila shishili shihali ya pansi na shizalaulilwe panse. Asaluye hata ivintu ambavyo sagavya bhaziwilwe abhe hantu, whuvibheshe saga hantu ivintu vivileho ni thamani.
29 That no flesh should glory in his sight.
Awombile eshi ili asahabhe wowonti wali ni sababu wahujinule whilongolela lyakwe.
30 But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:
Husababu yishila Ungolobhe shawombile, isalezi muli muhati ya Kristi uYesu, wafanyishe njele kwa ajili yetu wha Ngolobhe. Aleho haki yetu, golosu na waule.
31 That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
Hansi amatokeo, hansi iizu shaliyanga, “Wahujipala, ajipale wha Gosi.”
