1 Corinthians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our brother.
Paulo, unu abhilikilwaga na Kristo Yesu kubha mutumwa owe lyenda lya Nyamuanga, na Sosthene muili weswe,
2 It is sent to the church of God in Corinth, those who are being made right in Christ Jesus, called to live holy lives—and to everyone who worships the Lord Jesus Christ everywhere, the Lord both of them and of us.
kwi kanisa lya Nyamuanga linu lili Korintho, kubhanu bhauhye ku Yesu Kristo, bhanu bhabhilikiwe kubha bhanu bhelu. Echibhandikila bhona bhanu abhalikusha lisina lya Lata Bugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo mbala jona, Latabhugenyi webhwe neswe.
3 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Echigongo no mulembe gubhe kwemwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga lata weswe na ku Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
4 I'm always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus.
Nsiku jona enimusima Nyamuanga wani ingulu yemwe, kwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga unu Kristo Yesu abhayanile.
5 Through him you have been made rich in everything, in all that you say and every aspect of what you know.
Abhakolele kubha bhanibhi ku bhuli njila, kunyaika amwi no bhwengeso bhwona.
6 In fact the testimony of Christ was proved valid in your experience,
Abhakolele kubha bhanibhi, lwakutyo obhubhambasi ingulu ya Kristo kutyo obhwolesha echimali agati yemwe.
7 so that you're not missing any spiritual gift as you wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kulwejo mutakulebhelelwa amabhando ga mumioyo, lwakutyo muli ne lyenda lyo kulinda obhusuluko bhwa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
8 He will also keep you strong to the very end, so you will be kept right until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kabhasimbagilisha emwe okukinga kubhutelo, koleleki musige kubha ne solo kulusiku lwa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
9 God is trustworthy who called you to share together in fellowship with his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Nyamuanga ni mulengelesi unu abhabhilikiye emwe kubhusangisi bhwo Mwana wae, Yesu Kristo Latabhugenyi weswe.
10 Brothers and sisters, I plead with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all agree and that you're not divided. Instead develop a united attitude and purpose.
Woli enibhasabhwa abhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, okulabhila kwisina lya Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, koleleki bhona mwikilishe, na kutabhamo kwaulana agati yemwe. Enibhasabhwa mugwatane amwi mu kwiganilisha no kulwaja kumwi.
11 For I have been told things about you, my brothers and sisters, by some of Chloe's people—that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Kulwokubha abhanu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhabwiliye bhulimo obhwaulani bhunu obhugendelela amwi mwimwe.
12 Let me explain what I mean. You're all making different claims: “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow Christ.”
Nina insonga inu: Bhuli umwi kwimwe kaikati, “Anye nili wa Paulo, “amwi “Anye liwa Apolo,”amwi ati, Anye nili wa Kefa” amwi ati, Anye nili wa Kristo”.
13 Is Christ divided? Did Paul die on a cross for you? Was it in the name of Paul that you were baptized?
Angu! Kristo agabhanyikene? Angu! Paulo abhambilwe kulwainjuno yemwe? Angu! mwabhatijibhwe kwi Sina lya Paulo?
14 I'm grateful to God that I didn't baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Enimusima Nyamuanga kulwokubha nitamubhatijishe wona wona, tali Krispo na Gayo.
15 so nobody can claim they were baptized in my name.
Jinu jabhee kutya atalio wona wona unu akaikile ati mwabhatijibhwe kwi sina lyani.
16 (Oh, and I also baptized the Stephanas family—I can't think of anyone else.)
(Nalindi nabhatijishe abhamunyumba ya Stephania. Okukila awo, ntakumenyati nabhatijishe munu undi wona wona).
17 For Christ didn't send me out to baptize, but to spread the good news, and not with eloquent human wisdom, otherwise the cross of Christ would be made powerless.
Kulwokubha, Kristo atantumile kubhatija tali okulasha emisango jo bhwana. Atantumile okulasha kwe misango kwo bhwengeso bhwe chinyamubhili, koleleki amanaga go musalabha gwa Kristo gusige kusosibhwao.
18 For the message of the cross is nonsense to those who are lost, but it's the power of God to those of us who are saved.
Kulwokubha omusango gwo musalabha ni bhumumu ku bhanu abhafwa. Nawe kubhanu Nyamuanga kakisha, ni managa ga Nyamuanga.
19 As Scripture says, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will wipe out the cleverness of the clever.”
Kulwokubha Jandikilwe, “Eninyamula obhwengeso bhwa bhobhwenge. Eninyamula obhwiganilisha bhwa abhobhwenge.”
20 So how about the wise, the writers, and the philosophers of this age? Hasn't God turned the wisdom of this world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)
Alyaki omunu wo bhwengeso? Alyaki omunu wo bhwenge? Alyaki omwaiki no mukongya we chalo chinu? Angu, Nyamuanga atainduye obhwengeso bhwa insi inu kubha bhumumu? (aiōn g165)
21 Since God in his wisdom allowed the world in its wisdom not to know God, it was God's gracious plan that by the foolishness of the good news those who trusted in him would be saved.
Okwambila insi inu nibha nobhwengeso bhwayo itamumenyele Nyamuanga, jabhee ja bhwana ku Nyamuanga kubhumumu bhwebhwe obhwokulasha koleleki okuchungula bhanu abhekilisha.
22 The Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks look for wisdom,
Ku Bhayahudi abhabhusha ebhijejekanyo bhye bhilugusho na Abhayunani abhayenja obhwengeso.
23 but our message is of Christ killed on a cross—offensive to the Jews, and foolishness to the foreigners.
Nawe echimulasha Kristo unu abhambilwe, unu ali chikujulo ku Bhayaudi na nibhumumu ku Bhayunani.
24 However, for those who are called by God, both Jews and foreigners, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Nawe kubhanu bhabhilikiwe na Nyamuanga, Abhayaudi na Bhayunani, echimulasha Kristo lwa amanaga no bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than we are; and the weakness of God is stronger than we are.
Kulwokubha obhumumu bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli no bhwengeso okukila obhwomwana munu, no bhulenga bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli na managa okukila obhwomwana munu.
26 Brothers and sisters, remember your calling—and that this did not include many who are wise, humanly speaking; not many who are powerful; not many who are important.
Lola okubhilikila kwa Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu. Jitali ati agati yemwe yaliga muli bhengeso mu bhana bhanu. Jitalyati aliga muna amanaga. Jitalyati mwebhuhye mu bhukulu.
27 Instead God chose the things the world considers foolish to humiliate those who think they are wise. He chose the things the world considers weak to humiliate those who think they are strong.
Nawe Nyamuanga asolele ebhinu ebhimumu ebyakuchalo kunu okubhiswasha ebhyo bwengeso. Nyamuanga asolele chinu chaliga chili chilenga ochiswasha echamanaga.
28 He chose the things that are unimportant and despised by the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
Nyamuanga asolele chinu chaliga chili chemwalo na chinu chagahyaga kuchalo kunu. Asolele nebhinu bhinu bhitabhalwagwa kubha na chibhalo, kwo kubhikola kubhulwa chibhalo ebhinu bhinu bhyaliga bhili ne chibhalo.
29 so that nobody should boast in God's presence.
Akolele kutyo asige kubhao wona wona unu kekuya imbele yae.
30 It's because of him that you live in Christ Jesus, who God made to be wisdom for us. He sets us right, keeps us right, and frees us.
Kulwa insonga ya chinu Nyamuanga akolele, woli muli munda ya Kristo Yesu, unu akolelwe kubha mwengeso ingulu yeswe okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Aliga ali chimali cheswe, obhwelu no bhuchungusi.
31 So as Scripture says, “Whoever wants to boast, let them boast in the Lord.”
Lwakutyo, lwakutyo amandiko agaika, “Unu kekuya, asige okwikuya ku Latabhugenyi.”
