1 Corinthians 1
1 PAUL, a called apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,
U Paulo, wakiziwilwe nu Kristi Yesu abhe sontezwi whimagano ga Ngolobhe, nu Sosthene wholo wetu,
2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, with all those who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both their’s and our’s:
whishibhanza sha Ngolobhe lyalyaleho hu Korintho, whabhala ambao bhabhe whelwe hushiputo wha Yesu Kristi bhabhali bhakwiziwe abhe bhantu bhasafi. Tihubhasimbila pia bhala bhonti bhabhahulikwizwa itawala lwa Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi kati amahali ponti, Ugosi wawo nu wetu.
3 grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ineema nuwinza ibhe humwenyu afume wha Ngolobhe baba wetu nu Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
4 I give thanks to my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which hath been given you in Christ Jesus;
Insiku zyonti uhunsalifwa Ongolobhe wane kwa ajili yenyu, afwatanaje ni neema ya Ngolobhe ambayo uKristi uYesu abhapiye.
5 that in every thing ye have been enriched by him, in all utterance, and all knowledge;
Abhawombile abhe bhatabhazi katika kila idala, katika ayanje pamoja ni njele zyonti.
6 thus the testimony of Jesus hath been confirmed among you:
Abhawombile atabhazi, hansi usimishizi ahusu uKristi aje ahakikizwe abhe lyoli peka nawo.
7 so that ye have not been deficient in any gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Eshi sagamopongoshewa ikalama zishimoyo, hansi shamuli ni hamu ya golele ugubulwe wa Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi.
8 who shall confirm you to the end blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ayihubhaimalisya amwe pia hadi humwisho, ili musalaumiwe isiku lya Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
9 Faithful is God, by whom ye have been called into communion with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ungolobhe golosu wabhakwizizye amwe katika uwushirika wa mwanawakwe, uYesu kristi Ugosi wetu.
10 Now I conjure you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that ye be perfectly united together in the same mind and the same sentiment.
Eshi ihubhalabha nkulo nuyilombo bhane, ashilile widala lay Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi, abhe wonti bheteshe, na kwamba husahabhe ulugabhanyo mmiongoni mwenyu. Ihubhalabha aje mulemane mwenti nahuniya yeka na whikusudi lyeka.
11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Huje abhantu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhambozezye aje huli amalehano gagahendela mumiongoni mwenyu.
12 Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ.
Indi ni maana ene: Kila weka mwikundi lyenyu ayanga, “Ane ni wa Paulo,” au “Ane ni wa Apolo”, au “Ane niwa Kefa” au “Ane niwa Kristi”.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul?
Je! uKristi agabhanyishe? Je! uPaulo ayambele kwa ajili yenyu? Je! mwahozewelwe whitawa lya Paulo?
14 I thank God that I baptised none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;
Ihusalifwa Ungolobhe aje saga na mozizye wowonti, ila u Krispo nu Gayo.
15 that no man might say, I baptised into my own name.
Ene yali huje hamuna wowonti wayanje aje mwahozewelwe whitawa lyane.
16 And I also baptised the household of Stephanus: besides these, I know not if I baptised any other person.
(Na nawozizye bha munyumba ya Stephania. Hani yepo, sigihelewa aje namozizye umuntu uwenje wowonti).
17 For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of discourse, lest the cross of Christ should be slighted.
Afwatanaje U Kristi sagwantumile ahozye ila alombelele ibhangili. Sagaantumile alombelele hunongwa zinjele yishibinadamu, ili aje engovo yikhobhehanyo lya Kristi lisahefwewe.
18 For the discourse, the subject of which is the cross, is indeed to those who perish, folly; but to us who are saved it is the power of God.
Afwatanaje intumi yikhobhehanyo walangani whabhala bhabhafwa. Ila whabhala ambao Ongolobhe ahubhaokoa, ngovo wha Ngolobhe.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the understanding of the intelligent will I make useless.”
Afwatanaje isimbililwe, “Nayihuyinanganya injele yibhibusala. Nayiunganya uwelewa wibhi njele.”
20 Where is the sophist? where is the scribe? where is the inquisitive searcher after this world’s wisdom? hath not God turned into folly the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Awhi umuntu winjele? awhi winsukulu? awhi wayanje washawishi wense ene? Aje, Ungolobhe sagaayigeuzizye injele yense ene abhe ukwelengusu? (aiōn g165)
21 for since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Afume ense ileho katika injele yakwe sagayamenye Ongolobhe, yasongwezye Ongolobhe katika ukwelengusu wawo walambele ili whuwaule bhala bhabhawheteha.
22 For the Jews demand a miracle, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
Whubhayahudi bhawozelezya iishara zimayele na Abhayunani bhawhanza ihekima.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly;
Eshi tilombelela uKristi wayembele, wahali visyo wha Bhayahudi na kwelengusu wha Bhayunani.
24 but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Lakini whabhala ambawo bhakwiziwe no Ngolobhe, Abhayahudi tihunobhelela uKristi hansi engovo ninjele ya Ngolobhe.
25 For this foolishness of God is wiser than men; and this weakness of God is stronger than men.
Abhe ukwelengusu wa Ngolobhe uli ninjele ashele abhanada, na uwuzowofu wa Ngolobhe whuline ngovo hani ya bhanadamu.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many fleshly wise, not many men in power, not many men of high birth, are called:
Enyi ukwiziwe wa Ngolobhe humwanya yenyu, kolo nu yelombo bhane. Sagabhinji bhenyu mwapapwilwe katika uwugosi.
27 but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty;
Ila Ungolobhe asaluye ivintu ivekwelengusu vyense ili huvisosye vivilininjele. Ungolobhe asaluye shili zohofu panse hushisosye shishili nengovo.
28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despicable, hath God elected, and the things that are not, to bring to nought the things which are,
Ungolobhe asaluye shila shishili shihali ya pansi na shizalaulilwe panse. Asaluye hata ivintu ambavyo sagavya bhaziwilwe abhe hantu, whuvibheshe saga hantu ivintu vivileho ni thamani.
29 that no flesh should glory in his presence.
Awombile eshi ili asahabhe wowonti wali ni sababu wahujinule whilongolela lyakwe.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who hath been made to us of God wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Husababu yishila Ungolobhe shawombile, isalezi muli muhati ya Kristi uYesu, wafanyishe njele kwa ajili yetu wha Ngolobhe. Aleho haki yetu, golosu na waule.
31 that, as it is written, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
Hansi amatokeo, hansi iizu shaliyanga, “Wahujipala, ajipale wha Gosi.”
