1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Pawulo, wakayiitwa aKkilisito Jesu kuti abe Mutumwa kwiinda mukuyanda kwaLeza, aSositinesi mukwesu,
2 to the congregation of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called to be kadoshim, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:
kumbungano yaLeza iliku Kkolinto, abo bakasalazigwa muliKkilisitu Jesu akwambwa kuti mbantu basalala, antoomwe aboonse bali mumasena oonse abayiita zina lya Mwami Jesu Kkilisito, ulingonguwe Mwami waboandiswe.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Ngamube aluzyalo a lumunoluzwa kuli Leza Taata aMwami Jesu Kkilisito.
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua;
Ndilumba Leza nkambo kandinywe nkaambo kaluzyalo lwaLeza olo Kkilisito Jesu ndwakamupa.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
Wakamuchita bavubi munzila zyoonse, mukwambula koonse aluzibo loonse,
6 even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:
alimwi mbuli bukamboni atala aKkilisito mbubwa boneka kuti mbwamasimpe akati kanu.
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to be revealed;
Aboobo tamubuli chipo chaMuuya mbumulindide chakulangila kuyubununwa kwaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Uyoomuchita kuti mukasyome chakumaninina kusikila kumamanino, ikuti mutakabi amulandu mubuzuba bwaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord.
Leza ulisyomekede, wakamwita kuti mukabilane aMwana, Jesu Kkilisito Mwami wesu.
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.
Lino ndamukumbila, nibakwesu, kwiinda muzina lyaMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito, kuti moonse mulazuminana, akuti takuyoobi kupambukana antoomwe kamulamuzeezo umwi amakanze amwi.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.
Mbundakambilwa atala andinywe nobakwesu, kuzwa kubantu baKkuluzi ikuti kulikujatana akati kanu.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Kefa," and, "I follow Messiah."
Ndilikwamba eechi: umwi awumwi waamba kuti, “Ime ndili wa Pawulo,” na kuti, “Ime ndili wa Apolosi,” na kuti “Ime ndili wa Sifasi,” na kuti “Ime ndili wa Kkilisito.”
13 Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
Ani sa Kkilisito ulipambukene na? Ani Pawulo wakagankamininwa ndinywe na? Ani mwaka bbabbatisigwa muzina lyaPawulo na?
14 I thank God that I immersed none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Ndilumba Leza kuti takwe ngundakabbabbatizya pe, kunze kwa Kilisipasi aGayosi.
15 so that no one should say that you had been immersed into my own name.
Eechi chakachitwa kuti kutabi waamba kuti mwakabbabbatizigwa muzina lyangu.
16 (Now I also immersed the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I immersed any other.)
( Alimwi ndakabbabbatizya bang'anda yaSitefano. Kwiinda awo, tandikonzyi kuyeeya kuti kulibambi na mbindakabbabbatizya.)
17 For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.
Nkaambo Kkilisito takandituma kuti ndika bbabbatizye pesi ikuti ndikakambawuke makani mabotu kutaamba amajwi abuchenjezu, mukuti chingano chaKkilisito chitakawubulwi nguzu zyacho.
18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Nkaambo makani achingano chaKkilisito mbufubafuba kulabo balimukunyonyoka. Pesi akati kabaabo bafutulwa, ninguzu zyaLeza.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Nkaambo kulilembedwe kuti,”Ndiyomwayisya busongo bwabasongo. Ndiyokonga kumvwisisya kwabachenjede.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Ulikuli muntu musongo? Ulikuli mulembi? Ulikuli sikukazya wanyika eeno? Sa Leza takasandula busongo bwanyika kubufubafuba? (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Nkaambo nyika mubusongo bwayo teyakamuziba Leza, Leza wakabotelwa kuti afutule abo basyoma kwiinda mubufubafuba bwakukambawuka.
22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
Nkaambo maJuda bakumbila zitondezyo zigambya baGiliki bayandula busongo.
23 but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
Pesi tukambawuka Kkilisto wakagankaminwa, Nchilebyo kumaJuda alimwi mbufubafuba kulibaMasi.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Pesi kulaabo Leza mbakayita, aantomwe baJuda abaGiliki, tukambawuka Kkilisito mbuli nguzu abusongo bwaLeza.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
Nkaambo bufubafuba bwaLeza bulayinda busongo bwabantu, alimwi kukompama kwaLeza kulanguzu kwiinda bantu.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.
Amulange kwiitwa kwanu, nobakwesu teeboonse banu bakali basongo mbuli kunyama. Teeboonse banu bakali basinguzu. Teeboonse banu bakalizyedwe kabali bana babaami.
27 But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.
Pesi Leza wakasala zintu zifubafuba zyanyika kuti awusye nsoni basongo. Leza, wakasala echo chikompeme munyika kuti akawusye nsoni echo chilanguzu.
28 And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,
Leza wakasala echo chilansi alimwi chawuubulwa munyika. Alimwi wakasala zintu zitegwa takwe mbuzibede pe, kuti akazijosye ansi ezyo, zilangilwa kuti zintu loko.
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
Wakazichita ezi kuti kutakabi nyama ilikankayizya kunembo lyakwe.
30 And because of him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Nkaambo kacheechi Leza nchakachita, lino mwaba muliKkilisito Jesu oyo utubeda busongo buzwa kuli Leza. Wakaba bululami bwesu, busalali, alununuko lwesu.
31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Kuti kukabe mbuli mbukulembedwe kuti, “Na kuli ulikankayizya, alikankayizizye muMwami Leza.”
