1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Nene Pauli nikemeliwi kuvya mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu, kwa maganu ga Chapanga, na mlongo Sostene.
2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:
Tikuvayandikila nyenye msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu mwemuvi Kolinto. Nyenye mukemeliwi kuvya vandu va Chapanga kwa kuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu, pamonga na vandu voha popoha pevakumuyupa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu mweavi BAMBU witu na wavi mewawa.
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nikuvaganila uteke na ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Nikumsengusa Chapanga wangu magono goha ndava yinu, ndava ya mota ya Chapanga yaavapelili kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu.
5 That in every thing all of you are enriched by him, in all utterance, (logos) and in all knowledge;
Muni kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu mmemiswi muvindu vyoha. Mpewi luhala lwa kukokosa na kumanya.
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Ujumbi wa Kilisitu uyimi chakukangamala mugati yinu,
7 So that all of you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
hati nakupungukiwa na chipanji chochoa kuhuma kwa Mpungu Msopi pemwilindila kugubukuliwa kwa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that all of you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mwene yati akuvakangamalisa mbaka pamwishu mulolekanayi mwangali kuhoka ligono leiwuya BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
9 God is faithful, by whom all of you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Chapanga ndi msadikika, avakemili muvyai pamonga na mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu BAMBU witu.
10 Now I plead to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that all of you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Valongo vangu, nikuvayupa neju kwa liina la BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu, mvya pamonga mukila lijambu lemwijova, mkoto kukomana pagati yinu mvya liholo limonga na lijambu limonga.
11 For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Valongo vangu, mambu genigayuwini kuhuma kwa vandu va Kuloe, kuvya mwihutana pagati yinu.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Nigana kujova cheniyuwini kuhuma kwinu, mmonga ijova, “Nene nikumlanda Pauli,” Yungi, “Nene nikumlanda Apolo,” Yungi, “Nene nikumlanda Kefa,” Na yungi ijova, “Nene nikumlanda Kilisitu.”
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were all of you baptized in the name of Paul?
Wu, Kilisitu agavanyiki? Wu, Pauli ndi mweavambiwi pamsalaba ndava yinu? Amala mwabatiziwi kwa liina la Pauli?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Nikumsengusa Chapanga nabatizi lepi mundu hati mmonga winu ndi nga Kilisipo na Gayo.
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
Hinu kawaka mweihotola kujova abatiziwi kwa liina langu.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
Chakaka nabatizi kavili vandu pa lukolo lwa Stefani, nambu kawaka nimanyili lepi ngati nabatizi mundu yungi.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, (logos) lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Kilisitu anitumi lepi kubatiza vandu, nambu anitumili kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina. Anitumili kukokosa changali kuhuvalila maholo ga vandu vangi, muni makakala ga lifwa cha Kilisitu pamsalaba chikoto kubadilishwa.
18 For the preaching (logos) of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Kwa vala vevayagili ujumbi wa chifwa cha Kilisitu pamsalaba uyimu, nambu tete mwetivii munjila ya usangula, ujumbi wenuwo ndi makakala ga Chapanga.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova, “Yati nihalibisa luhala lwa vevavi na luhala na yati niyagisa umanya wa vevavi na luhala.”
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Avi koki mweavi na luhala? Avi koki mweasomili? Avi koki mweamanyili kudandaula mambu ga mulima? Wu, Chapanga ahengili lepi luhala lwa mulima uwu kuvya ndi uyimu? (aiōn g165)
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Chapanga igana kuvasangula vala vevakumsadiki kwa njila ya makokoselu gegilolekana kuvya mambu ga uyimu. Akitili chenichi ndava muni vandu vihotola lepi kummanya Chapanga kwa luhala lwavi vene.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Vayawudi vigana chinamtiti na Vagiliki vilonda luhala.
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Nambu tete tikumkokosa Kilisitu mweavambiwi pamsalaba. Kwa Vayawudi lijambu lenili ndi unonopa, na kwa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi ndi uyimu,
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
nambu kwa vala na Chapanga, Vayawudi na vandu vanga Vayawudi, Kilisitu ndi Makakala ga Chapanga na luhala lwa Chapanga.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Muni chechilolekana kuvya uyimu wa Chapanga ndi luhala kuliku luhala lwa vandu, na chechilolekana kuvya ungolongondi wa Chapanga, ndi chivii na makakala kuliku makakala ga vandu.
26 For all of you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
Hinu valongo vangu muholalela chamwakemiliwi na Chapanga, lepi voha pagati yinu vevana luhala kulandana na maholo ga vandu, vamahele lepi pagati yinu vevivya na makakala, amala ukulu.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Chapanga ahagwili gala mulima ukugawona ga uyimu, muni avapela soni vana luhala, na agahagwili gala mulima ukugawona kuvya ndi ungolongondi muni avapelayi soni vana makakala.
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:
Chapanga ahagwili vindu pahi viviveveswa na mulima uwu, na vindu vingali kuvya muni agahalabisa mambu gevikemela kuvya ga chakaka.
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Chapanga akitili chenichi kawaka mundu wa kumeka palongolo yaki.
30 But of him are all of you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Chapanga ndi mweavawunganisi na Kilisitu Yesu. Chapanga amkitili Kilisitu kuvya luhala witu, kwa njila yaki titepulaniswi na Chapanga, tivya tavandu vetibaguliwi ndava ya Chapanga na kugombolewa.
31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
Hinu ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Mweigana kumeka, ndi, amekelayi ndava ya lihengu la BAMBU.”
