1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndingĩahotire kũmwarĩria ta mũrĩ andũ a kĩĩroho, no ndaamwarĩirie ta mũrĩ andũ a thĩ, o ta twana tũnini thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
2 I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.
Ndaamũheire iria, no ti irio nyũmũ ndaamũheire, nĩgũkorwo mũtiakinyĩte a gũcirĩa. Ti-itherũ o na rĩu mũtikinyĩte a gũcirĩa.
3 For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal, and walk according to man?
O na rĩu mũrĩ andũ a thĩ. Kuona atĩ kũrĩ na ũiru na ngũĩ thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ, githĩ mũtikĩrĩ andũ a thĩ? Githĩ mũtiragĩĩka o ta ũrĩa andũ a ndũire mekaga?
4 For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, rĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Paũlũ,” nake ũrĩa ũngĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Apolo,” githĩ mũtikĩrĩ o andũ a ndũire?
5 The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.
Kaĩ Apolo akĩrĩ ũ? Nake Paũlũ akĩrĩ ũ? Acio maarĩ o ndungata, iria ciatũmire mwĩtĩkie, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani aagaĩire o mũndũ wĩra wake.
6 I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.
Niĩ nĩ mbeũ ndahaandire, nake Apolo agĩciitĩrĩria maaĩ, no nĩ Ngai watũmire ikũre.
7 Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ti mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga kana ũrĩa ũitagĩrĩria maaĩ ũrĩ bata, no ũrĩa ũrĩ bata nĩ Ngai, ũrĩa ũtũmaga ikũre.
8 Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga na mũndũ ũrĩa ũitagĩrĩria maaĩ makoragwo na muoroto ũmwe, na o mũndũ akaarĩhwo kũringana na wĩra wake we mwene.
9 For we are God’s coadjutors: you are God’s husbandry; you are God’s building.
Nĩgũkorwo tũrutithanagia wĩra hamwe na Ngai; na inyuĩ mũrĩ mũgũnda wa Ngai, na mwako wa Ngai.
10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wega ũrĩa Ngai aaheete, niĩ nĩ gwaka ndaakire mũthingi haana ta mwakithia ũrĩa mũũgĩ nake mũndũ ũngĩ nĩ gwaka araaka igũrũ rĩa mũthingi ũcio. No o mũndũ nĩamenyagĩrĩre ũrĩa egwaka igũrũ rĩaguo.
11 For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.
Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩaka mũthingi ũngĩ tiga ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie gwakwo, na nĩguo Jesũ Kristũ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:
Angĩkorwo mũndũ o na ũ egwaka igũrũ rĩa mũthingi ũyũ akĩhũthagĩra thahabu, kana betha, kana mahiga ma goro, kana mbaũ, kana nyeki, o na kana rũũa-rĩ,
13 Every man’s work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work, of what sort it is.
wĩra wake nĩũkoneka ũrĩa ũtariĩ, tondũ Mũthenya ũcio nĩũgaatũma woneke ũtheri-inĩ. Wĩra ũcio ũkaaguũrio na mwaki, nĩgũkorwo wĩra wa o mũndũ nĩũkagerio na mwaki ũcio.
14 If any man’s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
Angĩkorwo kĩrĩa mũndũ aakĩte mũthingi-igũrũ nĩgĩgetiiria mwaki ũcio-rĩ, nĩakarĩhwo mũcaara wake.
15 If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
Angĩkorwo nĩũkahĩa-rĩ, nĩakoorwo nĩguo; nowe mwene nĩakahonoka, no akaahonoka ta mũndũ ũgereire mwaki-inĩ.
16 Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ inyuĩ ene mũrĩ hekarũ ya Ngai, na atĩ Roho wa Ngai atũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu?
17 But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.
Mũndũ o wothe angĩananga hekarũ ya Ngai-rĩ, Ngai nĩakamwananga; nĩgũkorwo hekarũ ya Ngai nĩ theru, na nĩ inyuĩ hekarũ ĩyo.
18 Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Mũtikae kwĩheenia. Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wanyu angĩkorwo nĩeciiragia nĩ mũũgĩ na ũũgĩ wa mahinda maya tũrĩ-rĩ, nĩagĩtuĩke “kĩrimũ” nĩguo atuĩke mũũgĩ. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.
Nĩgũkorwo ũũgĩ wa thĩ ĩno nĩ ũrimũ maitho-inĩ ma Ngai. O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩanyiitaga arĩa oogĩ waara-inĩ wao”;
20 And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
o na ningĩ nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩoĩ atĩ meciiria ma arĩa oogĩ nĩ ma tũhũ.”
21 Let no man therefore glory in men.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakae kwĩraha na ũhoro wa andũ! Maũndũ mothe nĩ manyu,
22 For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to some; for all are yours;
kana nĩ Paũlũ, kana nĩ Apolo, kana nĩ Kefa, kana nĩ thĩ ĩno, kana nĩ muoyo, kana nĩ gĩkuũ, kana nĩ maũndũ marĩa marĩ ho rĩu, kana nĩ maũndũ marĩa magooka, mothe nĩ manyu,
23 And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
na inyuĩ mũrĩ a Kristũ, nake Kristũ nĩ wa Ngai.
