1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.
Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro wa mũhothi nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Ngai ũtariĩ ũũ: Ĩkagai ũrĩa ndeerire makanitha ma Galatia mekage.
2 On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.
Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũigaga mbeeca ta ũrĩa ũthũkũmi wake ũigana, agaciigaga, nĩguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngooka kũu gũtikanagĩe na mũhothi.
3 And when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.
Na ndaakinya-rĩ, andũ arĩa mũgaakorwo mũgathĩrĩirie nĩngamahe marũa ma kũmamenyithania na ndĩmatũme Jerusalemu na iheo cianyu.
4 And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.
Na kũngĩkoneka kwagĩrĩire o na niĩ thiĩ-rĩ, nĩngatwarana nao.
5 Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.
Ndaarĩkia gũtuĩkanĩria Makedonia-rĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩngatuĩkanĩria kuo, nĩngooka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
6 And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.
Hihi ngaikara na inyuĩ gwa kahinda, o na kana njikare kũu hĩndĩ ya heho yothe, nĩguo mũkaahota kũndeithĩrĩria gũthiĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwakwa kũrĩa guothe ngaathiĩ.
7 For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.
Ndikwenda kuonana na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩrahĩtũkĩra kũu, tondũ ngwĩhoka atĩ nĩtũgaikarania na inyuĩ kwa ihinda, Mwathani etĩkĩra.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
No nĩngũikara gũkũ Efeso nginya hĩndĩ ya Bendegothito,
9 For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.
tondũ ndĩmũhingũrĩre mweke mũnene wa kũruta wĩra mwega ũrĩ na uumithio, no nacio thũ nĩ nyingĩ.
10 Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
Timotheo angĩũka-rĩ, menyererai nĩguo aikare kũu na inyuĩ atarĩ na guoya, nĩgũkorwo nĩ wĩra wa Mwathani araruta, o ta ũrĩa ndĩraruta.
11 Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwaga kũmwamũkĩra. Mumagariei na thayũ nĩgeetha akinye kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩndĩmwetereire marĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
12 And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.
Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Apolo-rĩ: nĩndamũringĩrĩirie mũno ooke kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ. Nowe ndeendaga gũũka ihinda rĩu, no nĩarĩũka aagĩa na mweke.
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.
Ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte, na mwĩhaande mũrũmĩte wega thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio; ningĩ mũtuĩke andũ omĩrĩru; na mũgĩe na hinya.
14 Let all your things be done in charity.
Ĩkagai maũndũ mothe mũrĩ na wendani.
15 And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Stefana nĩo maarĩ a mbere gwĩtĩkia kũu bũrũri wa Akaia, na nĩmerutĩire gũtungatagĩra andũ arĩa aamũre. Nĩngũkĩmũringĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ,
16 That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.
mwathĩkagĩre andũ ta acio, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrutithanagia wĩra na ithuĩ, akĩũnogagĩra.
17 And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.
Nĩndakenire rĩrĩa Stefana, marĩ na Fotunato, na Akaiko maakinyire, nĩ ũndũ nĩo maahingĩirie ũndũ ũrĩa itaarĩ naguo kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ.
18 For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmacanjamũrire roho wakwa o na wanyu. Andũ ta acio nĩmagĩrĩirwo kũheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.
Makanitha ma bũrũri wa Asia nĩmamũgeithia. Akula na Pirisila nĩmamũgeithia mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani, o na kanitha ũrĩa ũcemanagia kwao nyũmba nĩwamũgeithia.
20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ nĩmamũgeithia. O mũndũ nĩageithie ũrĩa ũngĩ na ngeithi theru cia kĩmumunyano.
21 The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.
Niĩ, Paũlũ, nĩ niĩ ndandĩka ngeithi ici na guoko gwakwa.
22 If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.
Angĩkorwo he mũndũ o na ũ ũtendete Mwathani-rĩ, arogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi. Ũka, Mwathani!
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ ũroikara na inyuĩ.
24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Wendani wakwa ũromũkinyĩra inyuĩ inyuothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ameni.
