1 Corinthians 4
1 Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God:
Muntu katuwoni twenga twantumintumi wa Kristu yatupananitwi uwezu wa Mlungu.
2 And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull.
Vinu shashifiruwa kwa yoseri yakapananitwi lihengu kaweri mwaminika.
3 As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe.
Kwa neni shintu ndiri pantozwa na mwenga, ama pantozwa na wantu na hapeni nulitozi namweni.
4 For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord.
Toziya nuvimana ndiri kulitoza namweni, kumbiti shintu ashi shilanguziya ndiri kuwera neni nana likosa. Mtuwa ndo yankatoza neni.
5 Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkenesse, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall euery man haue praise of God.
Su, namtoza shitwatila shoseri pamberi pa shipindi shakuwi kusoka, mleki mpaka Mtuwa pakiza. Yomberi hakavilaviyi vitwatira vyavilififiti muluwindu na kulanguziya nfiru ya mmoyu ya wantu. Panu kila muntu hakapati uzyumi wakuwi kulawa kwa Mlungu.
6 Nowe these things, brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto mine owne selfe and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man presume aboue that which is written, that one swell not against another for any mans cause.
Wantu yawamjimira Yesu wayangu, numtumiti Apolu na neni namweni su kupitira kwa twenga mulifundi mfanu agu, “Mgaloli weri gagalembitwi.” Nakawera muntu yoseri yakalitumbira muntu yumu na kumzalawu yumonga.
7 For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued? if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it?
Gani kakutenda guweri mkulu kuliku yumonga? Hashi, Mlungu kakupananiti ndiri kila shintu shaguwera nashu? Na payiwera gupananwa, iwera hashi gulitumbira kuwera gupananwa ndiri?
8 Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made rich: ye reigne as kings without vs, and would to God ye did reigne, that we also might reigne with you.
Muwera kala na kila shintu shamfira! Muwera kala mwawalunda! Muwera mwawafalumi pota ya twenga! Yina, menfiri nakaka muweri wafalumi, su natwenga vilaa tuweri wafalumi pamuhera na mwenga.
9 For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gasing stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men.
Nulihola Mlungu katutenda twenga wantumintumi tuweri wantu wa upeleru nakamu, gambira wantu yawatozitwi kuhowa, toziya tuwera msambu gwa pasipanu poseri na kulongolu kwa wantumintumi wa kumpindi na kulongolu kwa wantu.
10 We are fooles for Christes sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weake, and ye are strong: ye are honourable, and we are despised.
Twenga twawazigizigi toziya ya kumtendera Kristu, kumbiti mwenga muwera na mahala kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu! Twenga twalegilegi, mwenga mwawavikambaku. Mwenga mbezika ndiri, kumbiti twenga twankubezika.
11 Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place,
Mpaka vinu, twenga twana njala, kuyumuluwa, twahera nguwu, wankutukomanga nentu na twahera pakugonja.
12 And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it.
Su twankutabika kutenda lihengu likamala kwa mawoku getu twaweni. Patupangilwa, twenga twankuwatekelera, pawatutabisiya, twenga tuhepelera,
13 We are euill spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offskowring of all things, vnto this time.
pawatwigiranga, twenga twankula kwa ligoya. Mpaka vinu watutendera gambira udoda wa pasipanu na kila muntu katuwona twenga twauhakata.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you.
Nembiti ndiri vitwatira avi kuwasoniziya mwenga, kumbiti kuwafunda gambira wana wangu yanuwafira
15 For though ye haue tenne thousand instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: for in Christ Iesus I haue begotten you through the Gospel.
Toziya ata pamuwera na walera wavuwa mumakaliru genu ga Shikristu, tati gwenu ndo yumu hera. Mukulikolerana na Kristu Yesu neni wera tati gwenu kwa kuwabwelerani Shisoweru Shiwagira.
16 Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me.
Su nuwaluwani mwenga mfati mfanu gwangu.
17 For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, which is my beloued sonne, and faithfull in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my wayes in Christ as I teache euery where in euery Church.
Toziya ayi neni numtuma Timotewu kwa mwenga. Yomberi ndo yakawera gambira mwana gwangu mngati mwa Kristu yanumfira na mwaminika mukulikolerana na Mtuwa. Yomberi hakawaholiziyi njira yanuyigendera mukulikolelerana pamuhera na Kristu, njira yanuyifunda pahala poseri pa shipinga shoseri sha wantu shawamjira Yesu.
18 Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you.
Wamu wenu wanja kulitumba pawalihola kuwera hapeni nizi kayi kwa mwenga.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will knowe, not the wordes of them which are puffed vp, but the power.
Kumbiti Mtuwa pakafira, hanizi kwa mwenga kanongola, panu hanuliwoneli namweni, galii ndiri gawagatakula gweka yakuwi kumbiti makakala gawawera naga.
20 For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power.
Toziya Ufalumi wa Mlungu uwera ndiri visoweru vya mlomu, kumbiti wa makakala.
21 What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes?
Hashi, mwenga mfira shishi? Hashi, nizi kwa mwenga na ntomondu, ama nizi na moyu gwa mafiliru na unanagala?
