1 Corinthians 16
1 NOW concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
Tsopano za zopereka zothandiza anthu a Ambuye a ku Yerusalemu. Muchite zomwe ndinawuza mipingo ya ku Galatiya kuti ichite.
2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
Pa tsiku loyamba la sabata lililonse, aliyense wa inu azipatula ndalama molingana ndi zomwe wapezera. Asunge, kuti ndikabwera pasadzakhalenso msonkhamsonkha.
3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
Pamenepo, ndikadzafika, ndidzawapatsa makalata a umboni anthu amene mudzawasankhe ndi kuwatuma kuti akapereka mphatso zanu ku Yerusalemu.
4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
Ngati kutaoneka kuti nʼkoyenera kuti ndipite nawo, adzapita nane limodzi.
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
Ndidzafika kwanuko nditadutsa ku Makedoniya pakuti ndikuyembekezera kudzera ku Makedoniyako.
6 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
Mwina ndidzakhala nanu kanthawi kochepa kapenanso nyengo yonse yozizira, kuti mudzandithandize kupitiriza ulendo wanga kulikonse kumene ndingapite.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
Sindikufuna kuti ndikuoneni tsopano mongodutsa chabe, koma ndikuyembekezera kudzakhala nanu kwa kanthawi, ngati Ambuye alola.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
Koma ndikhala ndili ku Efeso mpaka nthawi ya Pentekosite,
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
pakuti mwayi waukulu wapezeka woti nʼkugwira ntchito yaphindu, koma pali ambiri amene akutsutsana nane.
10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
Ngati Timoteyo afike kwanuko, onetsetsani kuti pasakhale zina zomuchititsa mantha pamene ali pakati panu, pakuti iye akugwira ntchito ya Ambuye monga ine.
11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
Wina aliyense asamunyoze. Muthandizeni kupitiriza ulendo wake mwamtendere kubwereranso kuli ine. Ndikumuyembekeza pamodzi ndi abale ena.
12 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
Tsono kunena za mʼbale wathu, Apolo, ndinamuwumiriza kwambiri kuti abwere kwa inu abale, ndipo iye sanafune kupita tsopano. Koma akadzapeza mpata wabwino adzabwera.
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Khalani tcheru; khazikikani mʼchikhulupiriro chanu; limbani mtima; khalani amphamvu.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
Chitani zonse mwachikondi.
15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints, )
Mukudziwa kuti a mʼbanja la Stefano ndiye anali oyamba kutembenuka mtima ku Akaya, ndipo akhala akudzipereka kutumikira oyera mtima. Choncho ndikukudandaulirani, inu abale,
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
kuti muziwamvera anthu oterewa, ndiponso aliyense wogwira nawo ntchitoyi modzipereka.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
Ndikondwera kuti Stefano, Fortunato ndi Akayiko afika, chifukwa akhala akundithandiza pakuti inu simuli nane.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
Pakuti anatsitsimutsa mzimu wanga ndi wanu womwe. Anthu a mtundu oterewa ngofunika kuwalemekeza.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Mpingo wa mʼchigawo cha ku Asiya ukupereka moni. Akula ndi Prisila akuperekanso moni wachisangalalo, mwa Ambuye, ndiponso mpingo umene umakumana mʼnyumba mwawo ukupereka moni.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
Abale onse kuno akupereka moni wawo. Patsanani moni wachikondi chenicheni.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
Ineyo Paulo, ndikulemba ndi dzanja langa mawu awa akuti moni.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.
Ngati wina sakonda Ambuye akhale wotembereredwa. Maranatha! (Ambuye athu bwerani)!
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu chikhale ndi inu.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus. THE
Chikondi changa chikhale ndi nonsenu mwa Khristu Yesu.
