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.
Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro wa mũhothi nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Ngai ũtariĩ ũũ: Ĩkagai ũrĩa ndeerire makanitha ma Galatia mekage.
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.
Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũigaga mbeeca ta ũrĩa ũthũkũmi wake ũigana, agaciigaga, nĩguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngooka kũu gũtikanagĩe na mũhothi.
3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
Na ndaakinya-rĩ, andũ arĩa mũgaakorwo mũgathĩrĩirie nĩngamahe marũa ma kũmamenyithania na ndĩmatũme Jerusalemu na iheo cianyu.
4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
Na kũngĩkoneka kwagĩrĩire o na niĩ thiĩ-rĩ, nĩngatwarana nao.
5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
Ndaarĩkia gũtuĩkanĩria Makedonia-rĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩngatuĩkanĩria kuo, nĩngooka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
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.
Hihi ngaikara na inyuĩ gwa kahinda, o na kana njikare kũu hĩndĩ ya heho yothe, nĩguo mũkaahota kũndeithĩrĩria gũthiĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwakwa kũrĩa guothe ngaathiĩ.
7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
Ndikwenda kuonana na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩrahĩtũkĩra kũu, tondũ ngwĩhoka atĩ nĩtũgaikarania na inyuĩ kwa ihinda, Mwathani etĩkĩra.
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
No nĩngũikara gũkũ Efeso nginya hĩndĩ ya Bendegothito,
9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
tondũ ndĩmũhingũrĩre mweke mũnene wa kũruta wĩra mwega ũrĩ na uumithio, no nacio thũ nĩ nyingĩ.
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.
Timotheo angĩũka-rĩ, menyererai nĩguo aikare kũu na inyuĩ atarĩ na guoya, nĩgũkorwo nĩ wĩra wa Mwathani araruta, o ta ũrĩa ndĩraruta.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwaga kũmwamũkĩra. Mumagariei na thayũ nĩgeetha akinye kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩndĩmwetereire marĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Apolo-rĩ: nĩndamũringĩrĩirie mũno ooke kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ. Nowe ndeendaga gũũka ihinda rĩu, no nĩarĩũka aagĩa na mweke.
13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
Ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte, na mwĩhaande mũrũmĩte wega thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio; ningĩ mũtuĩke andũ omĩrĩru; na mũgĩe na hinya.
14 Let all your things be done with charity.
Ĩkagai maũndũ mothe mũrĩ na wendani.
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, )
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Stefana nĩo maarĩ a mbere gwĩtĩkia kũu bũrũri wa Akaia, na nĩmerutĩire gũtungatagĩra andũ arĩa aamũre. Nĩngũkĩmũringĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ,
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
mwathĩkagĩre andũ ta acio, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrutithanagia wĩra na ithuĩ, akĩũnogagĩra.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
Nĩndakenire rĩrĩa Stefana, marĩ na Fotunato, na Akaiko maakinyire, nĩ ũndũ nĩo maahingĩirie ũndũ ũrĩa itaarĩ naguo kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmacanjamũrire roho wakwa o na wanyu. Andũ ta acio nĩmagĩrĩirwo kũheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Makanitha ma bũrũri wa Asia nĩmamũgeithia. Akula na Pirisila nĩmamũgeithia mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani, o na kanitha ũrĩa ũcemanagia kwao nyũmba nĩwamũgeithia.
20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ nĩmamũgeithia. O mũndũ nĩageithie ũrĩa ũngĩ na ngeithi theru cia kĩmumunyano.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
Niĩ, Paũlũ, nĩ niĩ ndandĩka ngeithi ici na guoko gwakwa.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha.
Angĩkorwo he mũndũ o na ũ ũtendete Mwathani-rĩ, arogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi. Ũka, Mwathani!
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ ũroikara na inyuĩ.
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
Wendani wakwa ũromũkinyĩra inyuĩ inyuothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ameni.
