1 Corinthians 16
1 Now about “collecting money for fellow-believers.” I'm giving you the same instructions for you to follow as I did to the churches in Galatia.
Woli okulubhana no bhusolosha ingulu ya bhekilisha, lwa kutyo nalagiliye amakanisa aga Galatia, nikwo kutyo kubheile okukola.
2 On the first day of the week everybody should set aside some money you've earned. I don't want there to be any collections to have to be made when I'm with you.
Mu lusiku olwo kwamba ku bhwoyo, bhuli umwi kwimwe atulewo echinu chilubhe kumbali no kuchibhika kutyo omutula. Mukole kutyo koleleki ati kwasiga kubhawo okusolosha mu mwanya gunu enija.
3 When I get there I will write recommendation letters for whoever you choose, and they will take your donation to Jerusalem.
Na nakakinge, wona wona unu mwakasole, enimutuma amwi na inyalubha okusosha ebhiyanwa bhyemwe eyo Yelusalemu.
4 If it works out for me to go too, they can come with me.
Alabha jili kisi kwanye okugenda one, abhagenda amwi nanye.
5 After I've been to Macedonia, I plan to come and visit you. I pass that way through Macedonia
Mbe nawe enija kwemwe, mu mwanya gunu nakalabhe mu Makedonia. Kulwo kubha onilabha mu Makedonia.
6 and I may stay with you for a while, perhaps spend the winter, and then you can send me on my way to wherever I'm headed.
Amwi enitula okwinyanja nemwe amwi nolwo okumalawo jinsiku ja imbeyo, koleleki ati mutule okunsakila mu lugendo lwani, wona wona enu enija.
7 This time I don't want to come and see you for just a short time. I hope I can stay for a while with you, if that's what the Lord permits.
Kulwo kubha nitakenele kubhakumanya woli kwo mwanya mufuyi gunu. Kulwo kubha eniikanya okwinyanja nemwe kwo mwanya mufuyi, alabha Latabhugenyi akanyikilisisha.
8 However, I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
Mbe nawe eninyanja Efeso Kukinga Pentekoste,
9 because a tremendous door of opportunity has opened up for me there, though there are plenty who oppose me.
Kulwo kubha omulyango omufunde gwegukile ingulu yani, na bhaliwo bhasoko bhafu bhanu abhana.
10 Now if Timothy arrives, make sure that he has nothing to fear by being with you, for he's working for the Lord just as I am.
Woli mu mwanya Timotheo akaja, mumulole ati ali nemwe kubhaya -uli, kakola emilimu ja Latabhugenyi, lwa kutyo one enikola.
11 Don't let anyone look down on him. Cheerfully send him on his way so he can come and see me—the brothers and sisters and I are waiting for him.
Omunu wona wona asiga kumugaya. Mumusakile mu mulugendo lwaye olwo mulembe, koleleki ati anyijeko. Kulwo kubha enimulindilila aje amwi na bhasu.
12 As for our brother Apollos: I urged him to go and see you together with the other believers, but he wasn't willing to go at the moment. He'll come and visit when he gets the chance.
Woli okulubhana no wasu Apolo. Namukomesishe no kumutamo omwoyo muno okubhalibhatila emwe amwi na bhasu. Mbe nawe atendele kuja kwa woli. Nolwo kutyo, kajokuja akabhona okwamba.
13 Stay alert. Stand firm in your trust in God. Take courage. Be strong.
Nimutengeje, mulumega mwasiga kutela-tela, nimukole kuti bhalume, nimubha na managa.
14 Whatever you do, do it in love.
Mbe gona ganu omukola gakoleke mu lyenda.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were among the first converts in Achaia, and they dedicated themselves to helping God's people. I'm pleading with you, my brothers and sisters,
Muimenyele inyumba ya Stefana. Mumenyele ati bhaliga bhali bhekilisha bho kwamba eyo Akaya, na ati bheteyeyo abhene mu bhufulubhendi bhwa abhekilisha. Mbe woli enibhelembelesha, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu,
16 to respect their leadership, and everyone who helps the work with such dedication.
nimubhe bhololo ku bhanu lwabho, na ku bhuli munu unu kasakila mu milimu na abhakosi bhe milimu amwi neswe.
17 I'm delighted that Stephanas, Fortunatas, and Achaicus have arrived here, for they did what you weren't able to.
Na enikondelwa mukuja kwa Stefano, Fotunato, na Akiko. Bhemeleguyu anu emwe mwiile okubha.
18 They have been a great source of encouragement to me, and to you. People like that deserve your recognition.
Kulwo kubha bhagukondelesha omwoyo gwani no gwemwe Kulwejo woli, mubhamenye abhanu kuti bhanu.
19 The churches of Asia send their greetings. Aquila and Priscilla, along with the church that meets in their home, send their best wishes.
Amakanisa ga Asia abhabhakesha emwe. Akila na Prisika abhabhakesha mu Latabhugenyi, amwi na likanisa linu lili ika ewabho.
20 All the brothers and sisters here send their greetings. Greet one another affectionately.
Abhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu bhona abhabhakesha. Mukeshanyega kwo kunyunyana okwelu.
21 I Paul write this greeting with my own hand.
Anye, Paulo, enandika kutya kwo kubhoko kwani.
22 Anyone who doesn't love the Lord should be excluded from the church. Come Lord!
Alabha alio wona wona unu atakumwenda Latabhugenyi, mbe okwiimwa kubhe ingulu yaye. Latabhugenyi weswe, ija!
23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Echigongo cha Latabhugenyi Yesu chibhe nemwe.
24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Okwenda kwani kubhe amwi nemwe mu Kristo Yesu.
