1 Corinthians 3
1 And I could not speake vnto you, brethren, as vnto spirituall men, but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ.
Cakubinga mobanse bame, ndiya kwamba nenjamwe mbuli bantu bakute Mushimu Uswepa, nsombi pakwamba nenjamwe, ndalikumuboneti bantu bakumubili, nambi batwanike muli Klistu.
2 I gaue you milke to drinke, and not meat: for yee were not yet able to beare it, neither yet nowe are yee able.
Ndalamupa mukupa wakunwa, nteco cakulya cayuma yuma sobwe, pakwinga mwalikamutana mushika pacimo cakulya, nambi pacino cindi nkamuna mushika pacimo cakulya cayuma yuma.
3 For yee are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men?
Pakwinga bwikalo bwenu bulyeti bwikalo bwabantu bamucishi capanshi, neco pakati penu pali munyono ne kutanyumfwana, sena ici nkacilaleshengeti bwikalo bwenu bucili bwikalo bwa bantu bapa cishi capanshi, kayi mucikonkela bwikalo bwa bantu bamucishi capanshi?
4 For when one sayeth, I am Pauls, and another, I am Apollos, are yee not carnall?
Amwe mukute kwambeti, “Mulakonkelenga Paulo,” Banenu bakute kwambeti, “Balakonkelenga Apolo,” Sena mwapusana ne bantu bulyo?
5 Who is Paul then? and who is Apollos, but the ministers by whome yee beleeued, and as the Lord gaue to euery man?
Inga Apolo niyani? Paulo niyani? Twense tobasebenshi ba Lesa balamubonesha nshila ya kushoma muli Yesu Klistu. Uliyense lasebensenga ncito Mwami njalamupa.
6 I haue planted, Apollos watred, but God gaue the increase.
Ame ndalabyala mbuto isho nshaletilila menshi Apolo, nsombi Lesa ewalashikulisha.
7 So then, neither is hee that planteth any thing, neither hee that watreth, but God that giueth the increase.
Mulabono kwambeti shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi paliya ncobabelepo, nsombi Lesa eukute kushikulisha.
8 And he that planteth, and he that watreth, are one, and euery man shall receiue his wages, according to his labour.
Neco paliya kupusana pakati pali shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi, pakwinga Lesa nakape cilambo muntu uliyense kwelana nencito njalikwinsa.
9 For we together are Gods labourers: yee are Gods husbandrie, and Gods building.
Afwe tobasebenshi ba Lesa, amwe njamwe libala lyakendi, kayi njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa.
10 According to the grace of God giuen to mee, as a skilfull master builder, I haue laide the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let euery man take heede how he buildeth vpon it.
Kupitila munkumbo nshalampa Lesa, ame pakuba shikwibaka wabuya ndalemba ne kubamba cena pakwibaka kwambeti naumbi muntu aibakepo, nsombi uliyense acenjele mwalebakilinga.
11 For other foundation can no man laie, then that which is laied, which is Iesus Christ.
Pakwinga paliya muntu wela kutala ne kwimba lulindi pambi, kushiya apo patalwa kendi, apo patalwa ni Yesu Klistu.
12 And if any man builde on this foundation, golde, siluer, precious stones, timber, haye, or stubble,
Palulindi apo patalwa muntu ngawibakapo ne mabwe a golide nambi asilifa nambi mabwe abeka beka nambi bitondo nambi mwila nambi ne matete.
13 Euery mans worke shalbe made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shalbe reueiled by the fire: and the fire shall trie euery mans worke of what sort it is.
Nomba pabusuba bwakwisa Klistu, incito sha muntu uliyense nishikabonekele, pabusuba ubo mulilo nukayubulule incito isho patuba tuu! Uwo mulilo nukelekeshe mushobo wa ncito shamuntu uliyense.
14 If any mans worke, that he hath built vpon, abide, he shall receiue wages.
Na incito sha muntu shikabule kupya ne mulilo, uyo walebakapo nakapewe cilambo.
15 If any mans worke burne, he shall lose, but he shalbe saued himselfe: neuerthelesse yet as it were by the fire.
Lino na incito sha muntu shikapye ne mulilo okwambeti nendi nakataikilwe byonse, nomba kupuluka kwa muntuyu nikukabeti layokolwa mumulilo.
16 Knowe ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Sena nkamucishi kwambeti njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi Mushimu wakendi ukute kwikala mulijamwe?
17 If any man destroy the Temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the Temple of God is holy, which ye are.
Neco na muntu wononga ng'anda, ya Lesa nendi Lesa, nakamononge muntuyo, pakwinga ng'anda ya Lesa yaswepa kayi ng'andeyo njamwe.
18 Let no man deceiue himselfe: If any man among you seeme to be wise in this world, let him be a foole, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Kamutalibepanga, napali muntu lalibonongeti ukute mano mubwikalo bwa pano pacishi capanshi, kabani muluya, kwambeti abe wamano ancine ncine. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdome of this worlde is foolishnesse with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their owne craftinesse.
Kuli Lesa, mano apano pacishi capanshi nabulyo, pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa ukute kubekata bamano mubumaluku bwabo.”
20 And againe, The Lord knoweth that the thoughtes of the wise be vaine.
Kayi Mabala alambangeti, “Mwami ucinsheti manjeyaulwa abantu bamano nabulyo.”
21 Therefore let no man reioyce in men: for all things are yours.
Neco muntu katalitunta pacebo ca bantu banendi, pakwinga bintu byonse nibyenu.
22 Whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death: whether they be things present, or thinges to come, euen all are yours,
Nambi Paulo nambi Apolo nambi Petulo nambi cishi capanshici ne buyumi nambi lufu nambi bintu bilipo lelo kayi ne bintu byeti bikese kuntangu byonse nibyenu.
23 And ye Christes, and Christ Gods.
Nomba nenjamwe mobakendi Klistu, nendi Klistu niwa Lesa.
