1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ, through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Pawulo, wakayiitwa aKkilisito Jesu kuti abe Mutumwa kwiinda mukuyanda kwaLeza, aSositinesi mukwesu,
2 Vnto the Church of God, which is at Corinthus, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, Saintes by calling, with all that call on the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ in euery place, both their Lord, and ours:
kumbungano yaLeza iliku Kkolinto, abo bakasalazigwa muliKkilisitu Jesu akwambwa kuti mbantu basalala, antoomwe aboonse bali mumasena oonse abayiita zina lya Mwami Jesu Kkilisito, ulingonguwe Mwami waboandiswe.
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Ngamube aluzyalo a lumunoluzwa kuli Leza Taata aMwami Jesu Kkilisito.
4 I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe for the grace of God, which is giuen you in Iesus Christ,
Ndilumba Leza nkambo kandinywe nkaambo kaluzyalo lwaLeza olo Kkilisito Jesu ndwakamupa.
5 That in all things ye are made rich in him, in all kinde of speach, and in all knowledge:
Wakamuchita bavubi munzila zyoonse, mukwambula koonse aluzibo loonse,
6 As the testimonie of Iesus Christ hath bene confirmed in you:
alimwi mbuli bukamboni atala aKkilisito mbubwa boneka kuti mbwamasimpe akati kanu.
7 So that ye are not destitute of any gift: wayting for the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ.
Aboobo tamubuli chipo chaMuuya mbumulindide chakulangila kuyubununwa kwaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
8 Who shall also confirme you vnto the ende, that ye may be blamelesse, in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ.
Uyoomuchita kuti mukasyome chakumaninina kusikila kumamanino, ikuti mutakabi amulandu mubuzuba bwaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
9 God is faithfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.
Leza ulisyomekede, wakamwita kuti mukabilane aMwana, Jesu Kkilisito Mwami wesu.
10 Nowe I beseeche you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thing, and that there be no dissensions among you: but be ye knit together in one mind, and in one iudgement.
Lino ndamukumbila, nibakwesu, kwiinda muzina lyaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito, kuti moonse mulazuminana, akuti takuyoobi kupambukana antoomwe kamulamuzeezo umwi amakanze amwi.
11 For it hath bene declared vnto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.
Mbundakambilwa atala andinywe nobakwesu, kuzwa kubantu baKkuluzi ikuti kulikujatana akati kanu.
12 Nowe this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am Pauls, and I am Apollos, and I am Cephas, and I am Christs.
Ndilikwamba eechi: umwi awumwi waamba kuti, “Ime ndili wa Pawulo,” na kuti, “Ime ndili wa Apolosi,” na kuti “Ime ndili wa Sifasi,” na kuti “Ime ndili wa Kkilisito.”
13 Is Christ deuided? was Paul crucified for you? either were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
Ani sa Kkilisito ulipambukene na? Ani Pawulo wakagankamininwa ndinywe na? Ani mwaka bbabbatisigwa muzina lyaPawulo na?
14 I thanke God, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus, and Gaius,
Ndilumba Leza kuti takwe ngundakabbabbatizya pe, kunze kwa Kilisipasi aGayosi.
15 Lest any should say, that I had baptized into mine owne name.
Eechi chakachitwa kuti kutabi waamba kuti mwakabbabbatizigwa muzina lyangu.
16 I baptized also the houshold of Stephanas: furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptized any other.
( Alimwi ndakabbabbatizya bang'anda yaSitefano. Kwiinda awo, tandikonzyi kuyeeya kuti kulibambi na mbindakabbabbatizya.)
17 For CHRIST sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospel, not with wisdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ should be made of none effect.
Nkaambo Kkilisito takandituma kuti ndika bbabbatizye pesi ikuti ndikakambawuke makani mabotu kutaamba amajwi abuchenjezu, mukuti chingano chaKkilisito chitakawubulwi nguzu zyacho.
18 For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God.
Nkaambo makani achingano chaKkilisito mbufubafuba kulabo balimukunyonyoka. Pesi akati kabaabo bafutulwa, ninguzu zyaLeza.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent.
Nkaambo kulilembedwe kuti,”Ndiyomwayisya busongo bwabasongo. Ndiyokonga kumvwisisya kwabachenjede.”
20 Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse? (aiōn g165)
Ulikuli muntu musongo? Ulikuli mulembi? Ulikuli sikukazya wanyika eeno? Sa Leza takasandula busongo bwanyika kubufubafuba? (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing the worlde by wisedome knewe not God in the wisedome of GOD, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that beleeue:
Nkaambo nyika mubusongo bwayo teyakamuziba Leza, Leza wakabotelwa kuti afutule abo basyoma kwiinda mubufubafuba bwakukambawuka.
22 Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome.
Nkaambo maJuda bakumbila zitondezyo zigambya baGiliki bayandula busongo.
23 But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse:
Pesi tukambawuka Kkilisto wakagankaminwa, Nchilebyo kumaJuda alimwi mbufubafuba kulibaMasi.
24 But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God.
Pesi kulaabo Leza mbakayita, aantomwe baJuda abaGiliki, tukambawuka Kkilisito mbuli nguzu abusongo bwaLeza.
25 For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
Nkaambo bufubafuba bwaLeza bulayinda busongo bwabantu, alimwi kukompama kwaLeza kulanguzu kwiinda bantu.
26 For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
Amulange kwiitwa kwanu, nobakwesu teeboonse banu bakali basongo mbuli kunyama. Teeboonse banu bakali basinguzu. Teeboonse banu bakalizyedwe kabali bana babaami.
27 But God hath chosen the foolish thinges of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confound the mightie things,
Pesi Leza wakasala zintu zifubafuba zyanyika kuti awusye nsoni basongo. Leza, wakasala echo chikompeme munyika kuti akawusye nsoni echo chilanguzu.
28 And vile things of the worlde and thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, and thinges which are not, to bring to nought thinges that are,
Leza wakasala echo chilansi alimwi chawuubulwa munyika. Alimwi wakasala zintu zitegwa takwe mbuzibede pe, kuti akazijosye ansi ezyo, zilangilwa kuti zintu loko.
29 That no flesh shoulde reioyce in his presence.
Wakazichita ezi kuti kutakabi nyama ilikankayizya kunembo lyakwe.
30 But ye are of him in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption,
Nkaambo kacheechi Leza nchakachita, lino mwaba muliKkilisito Jesu oyo utubeda busongo buzwa kuli Leza. Wakaba bululami bwesu, busalali, alununuko lwesu.
31 That, according as it is written, Hee that reioyceth, let him reioyce in the Lord.
Kuti kukabe mbuli mbukulembedwe kuti, “Na kuli ulikankayizya, alikankayizizye muMwami Leza.”
