1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
U Paulo, juno alyakemelilue nu Kilisite u Yesu kuva m'bombi muvughane vwa Nguluve,
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:
nu Sosthene unyalukolo ghwitu, kulukong'ano lwa Nguluve luno luli ku Korintho, kavala vano valing'anisivue mwa Yesu kiliste vano vakamemesivue kuuva vaanhu vimike. Tukavalembela vala vooni vano vikulikemela ilitavua lya Mutwa ghwitu Yesu Kilisite pooni pooni, u Mutwa ghwa vanave kange ghwitu.
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ulusungu nulutengano luvisaghe kulyumue kuhuma kwa Nguluve u Nhaata ghwitu nu Mutwa ghwitu Yesu Kilisite.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Ifighono fyooni nikumongesia u Nguluve ghwango vwimila umue, vwimila ulusungu lwa Nguluve luno u Kilisite Yesu alyavapelile.
5 That in every thing all of you are enriched by him, in all utterance, (logos) and in all knowledge;
Avavikile kuva vamofu musiila sooni, vuujofi palikimo nuvumanyani vwooni.
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Avaviikile vamofu, heene vwolesi ulwa Kilisite ulwakuuti lun'kangasivue kuuva kyaang'haani mun'kate mulyumue.
7 So that all of you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Pauluo namukwaghilua ifipelua fya mhunumbula, ndavule mulinuvunoghelua uvwakughulila ulyusyuko lwa Mutwa ghwitu u Yesu Kilisite.
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that all of you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ikuvakangasia umue kufika kuvusililo, ulwakuuti muleke kupikua mukighono kya Mutwa ghwitu Yesu Kiliste.
9 God is faithful, by whom all of you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
U Nguluve n'koola juno alyavakemelile umue muvumo vwa mwana ghwa mwene, Yesu Kiliste Mutwa ghwitu.
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.
Lino nikuvapelepesia mwevakulu vango numue va mwanilumbu, kukila mulitavua lya Mutwa ghwitu Yesu Kilisite, kuuti vooni mwitike, nakuuti nakulavesagha kughaving'ana mun'jate mulyumue. Nikuvapelepesia kuuti muvisaghe palikimo nu luvelo luumo nuvufumbue vwumo.
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.
Ulwakuva avaanhu va munyumba ija Kloe vam'bulile kuuti kwelule ulughaving'ano luno lughendelela pakate palyumue.
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.
Nilonda kuuti: Umuunhu ghweni kulyumue ijoova, “Une nilii hwa Paulo,” nambe “Une nili ghwa Apolo,” nambe “Une nilii ghwa Kefa” nambe “Une nili ghwa Kilisite”.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were all of you baptized in the name of Paul?
Vuuli! U Kilisite aghaving'ine? Vuuli! U Paulo alyakomelilue vwimila umue? Vuuli! Mhulyofufughilue mulitavua lya Paulo?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Nikumongesia u Nguluve kuuti nanilyamwofughe nambe jumo, looli u Kirispo nhu Gayo.
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
Ulu lulyale kuuti nakwale nambe jumonga juno ale iiti mulyofughue mulitavua lyango.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
(Kange nilyavofuighe avaa munyumba ja Stephania. Kukila apuo, nanikagwile kuuti nilyamwofuighe nhu muunhu juunge jujuno avisaghe).
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.
Ulwakuvaa, u Kilisite alyanyomuile kukwofugha looli kudalikila ilivangili. Looli nalyanyomwile kudalikila ni njovele inono ija kimuunhu, ulwakuuti ingufu sa kikovekano sileke pivuka.
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.
Ulwakuva imola ija kikovekano luunangano kuvano vifua. Looli kuvala vano u Nguluve ikuvapoka, se ngufu sa Nguluve.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Ulwakuva liilembilue, “Ninanganiagha uvukola uvwa nyaluhala. Ninanganiagha injovele sa vanyaluala.”
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)
Alikughi umuunhu unya vukola? Alikughi unyavwimbi? Alikughi unjovaji ughwa kujishetulania iisi? Vuuli u Nguluve nalyasetulinie uvukola vwa iisi iji kuuva vujasu? (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.
Kuhuma iisi jilinuvwakyang'haani vwa jeene najilya n'kagwile u Nguluve, lulyanoghile u Nguluve mhuvuyasu vuvanave ulwakudalikila ulwakuuti avapoke vano vikwitika.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Kuvaa Yahudi kuposia ifivalilo fya fidegho na kuva Yahudi kulonda uvwakyang'ani.
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Looli tukun'dalikila u Kilisite juno alyakomelilue, juno aling'uvasi kuva Yahudi, kange vwe vuyasu kuva Yunani.
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Looli kuvala vala vano valyakemelilue nu Nguluve, avaYahudi nava Yunani tukudalikila u akilisite heena ngufu nuvwakyang'haanivwa Nguluve.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Ulwakuva uvuyasu vwa Nguluve vuliinuvwa kyang'haani kukila uvwa vaanhu nuvuvotevote vwa Nguluve vuliiningufu kukila avaanhu.
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:
lagha ing'emelo ja Nguluve kulyumue, vakuulu vango numue va mwanilumbu. Namulyale viinga mulyumue kuuti namulyale nuvwakyang'haani mufighelelo fya vumuunhu. Namulyale viinga mwe vanyangufu mulyumue. Namulyale viinga mulyaholilue muvuvaha.
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;
Looli uNguluve alyasalwile ifinhu ifiyasu ifya mu iisi muno ulwa kuvafipelela i soni ifinyavwakyang'haani. U Nguluve alyasalwile ifivotevote mhu iisi pikukikosekesia isoni ikinya ngufu.
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:
U Nguluve alyasalwile kila kino kilipasi kyongo nakila kino kilyasyojolilue mu iisi. Alyasalwile fyoni fino nafilyavalivue kuuva kiinu, kukufivika heene na kiinu ifinu ifinya luvumbulilo.
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Alyavombile vulevule ulwakuuti nakwangavisaghe nambe jumonga juno aliinulwakutosia pavulongolo pa mweene.
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:
Vwimila vwa kila kino u Nguluve alya kivombile, lino mulimun'kate mwa kilisite Yesu, juno avombike mu vwakyang'haani vwimila usue kuhuma kwa Nguluve. Alyale ghwa kyang'haani ghwitu uvwimike muvuvangi.
31 That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
Heene luhumilo, ndavule ililembe lijoova, “Juno ikughinia, ighiniaghe mwa Mutwa.”
