1 Corinthians 3
1 My brothers and sisters, I couldn't talk with you as spiritual believers, but as worldly people—like baby Christians.
Nunene, kaka niadada ane, singa aentambue nunyenye anga miantu akinkolo, kuite anga miantu amuili. Anga niang'enye nianiino mung'wa Kilisto.
2 I gave you milk—I couldn't give you solid food to eat, because you weren't ready for it.
Aenumung'wensilyo maele hange singa nyama, kunsoko aemuhitile kulya inyama. Sunga nitungu gaa muhitile.
3 Even now you're not ready for it, because you're still worldly. Since you're still jealous and argumentative, doesn't that show you're worldly, behaving just like ordinary people do?
Kunsoko unye keli miamuili. Kunsoko uwelu nukilolya keli yukigeeleka mitalanyu. Itee, shamukikie anga muili, Hange itee? Shamukugenda anga antuune?
4 When one of you says, “I follow Paul,” while another says, “I follow Apollos,” doesn't that show you're being so very human?
Kunsoko ung'wi wilunga, “Numutyatile Paulo” Numuya wilunga, “NUmulyatile Apolo, Shamikie anga antu nee?
5 Who is Apollos, anyway? And who is Paul? We're just servants through whom you believed. Each of us does the work God gave us to do.
U Apolo nyenyu? nu Paulo nyenyu? inge itumi ang'wa yuyu nemumukuie, kukela uyu nu Mukulu aumpee umulemo.
6 I did the planting, Apollos did the watering—but it was God who made you grow!
Unene aentemee, u Apolo wikihila imazi, kuile Itunda ukukulisa.
7 So the one who does the planting doesn't count for anything, any more than the one who does the watering. The only one who matters is God who is growing you!
Kuite, singa nutemee ang'wi nuehie imazi ukete kehi. Kuite Itunda ukukulisa.
8 The one planting and the one watering have the same goal, and both will be rewarded according to what they've done.
Itungo ile nutemee nuyu nuehie imazi ehi epalung'wi, hange kela ung'wi ukusingiilya ikinyamulimo kakwe anga muitumie umulimo wakwe.
9 We are workers together with God—and you are God's field, his building.
Kunsoko usese keituma mulimo wang'wi Tunda, unye mukiluilo kang'wi Tunda, minyumba ang'wi Tunda.
10 Through the grace of God that he gave to me, I laid down the foundation like a skilled building supervisor. Now someone else is building on it. Whoever does the building needs to watch what they're doing.
Kunsoko aukende nuang'wi Tunda naempegilwe ange muzengi numukulu, aembikile ikitako, numungiza wikazenga migulya lakwe. Kuite umuntu watula wikesa nukuzenga migulya lakwe.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than what's already laid—that is Jesus Christ.
Kunsoko kutile numungiza nukumile kuzenga ikitako nikingiza kukila nikizengilwe, nuanso Yesu Kilisto.
12 Those who build on that foundation may use gold, silver, precious stone, wood, hay, or straw—
Itungo ile, ang'wi ung'wi wanyu ukuzenga migulya lakwe kuzahabu, mpia, magwe nansailo, ikota, mafa, ang'wi matutu,
13 but whatever is used to build with will be exposed. For on the Day of Judgment fire will reveal it and test it. Everyone's work will be shown for what it is.
umulemu wakwe ukukunukulwa, kuwetu nua mung'wi ukumigeelya. Kunsoko ekigeeligwa kumoto. Umoto ukugema uuza nua mulemo nuakela ung'wi nuitumile.
14 Those whose building survives will be rewarded.
Anga kehi umuntu nuzengile kekusaga, nuanso ukusingiilya ikipegwa nikiza.
15 Those whose building is burned up will lose out. They will still be saved, but it will be like passing through fire!
Kuite ang'wi umulemo nua muntu ukulimansiila kumoto, ukulija asala. Kuite ung'wenso lukulu ukugunwa, anga uukinega mumoto.
16 Don't you know you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
Shamuine kina unye menyumba ang'wi Tunda ni kina inkolo ang'wi Tunda ikie mukati anyu?
17 Anyone who destroys God's temple will be destroyed by God, for God's temple is holy, and you are the temple.
Ang'wi umuntu ukumebipya inyumba ang'wi Tunda, Itunda ukumubipya umuntu nuanso. Kunsoko unyumba ang'wi Tunda ntakatifu, mutule uu.
18 Don't deceive yourselves. If there's anyone of you who thinks they're worldly wise, they should become fools so they can become truly wise! (aiōn g165)
Umuntu waleke kukongela ung'wenso, ang'wi wehi mitalanyu uine ukete ikulyo mumatungo aya, watule anga “mupungu,” uu ukutula nikulyo. (aiōn g165)
19 This world's wisdom is plain foolishness to God. As Scripture says, “He uses the cleverness of the wise to catch them out,”
Kunsoko ikulyo nelamihi eye upungu ntongeela ang'wi Tunda, kunsoko iandekilwe, “Neaambisa niakete ikulyo kuhila yao.
20 and “The Lord knows the arguments of the wise are pointless.”
Nehangi “Umukulu uine imasigo ao niikuligwa mabi.”
21 So don't boast about people. For you have everything,
Kuite umuntu aleke kisania antu! Kunsoko imaintu ehi anyu.
22 whether it's Paul or Apollos or Peter—or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future. You have everything—
Ang'wi Paulo, ang'wi Apolo, ang'wi Kefa, ang'wi ihe, ang'wi likalo, ang'wi nsha, ang'wi maintu nakole, ang'wi niikatula amole,
23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
ehi anyu nunyenye miang'wa Kilisto, nu Kilisto wang'wi Tunda.
