1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Une che Paolo jumilanjikwe kuti meje nduna jwa Kilisito Che Yesu kwa kusaka kwakwe Akunnungu ni alongo ajetu che Sositene
2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
tukunnembela mwanya ŵanli ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵa ku Kolinto, ŵanyamwe mmilanjikwe mme ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito Che Yesu, pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵaali papalipose ŵakwapopelela Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito jwali chilongola jwao ni jwetu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tukunsachila umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu moŵa gose kwa ligongo lya umbone wa Akunnungu umpatile kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
Pakuŵa mu kulumbikana ni Kilisito mmele ŵakusichila mu indu yose, mpatile umanyilisi wose ni ukombole wose wa kulalichila.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Pakuŵa umboni nkati Kilisito ulimbichikwe mwa ŵanyamwe,
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
kwayele nganimma ŵakusoŵekwa ni ntuuka wauliwose kutyochela kwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, mpela inkuti kulolela kuunukulikwa kwa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ŵelewo chanlimbisye mpaka kumbesi kuti mme ŵangali chileŵo pa lyuŵa lichauje Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Akunnungu ali ŵakukulupilichika, ŵelewo ŵammilasile kuti ntame mu kukamulangana ni Che Yesu Kilisito mwanagwawo ŵaali Ambuje ŵetu.
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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.
Achalongo achinjangu, ngunchondelela mlina lya Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, njilane wose mu inkuŵecheta kuti kukapagwa kulekangana pasikati jenu, nnopennope nkole nganisyo simo ni nningwa umo.
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.
Achalongo achinjangu, ŵandu ŵane ŵaali mu mpingo u che Kiloe asalile kuti ŵanyamwe nkulekangana kwa maloŵe.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
Ngusaka sale chimbilikene kukwenu, mundu jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya che Paolo,” ni jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya che Apolo,” jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya che Kefa,” ni jwine akuti, “Une ngwakuya Kilisito.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Ana nkuganisya kuti Kilisito agaŵaniche? Ana che Paolo ni juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba kwaligongo lyenu? Pane ana mwabatiswe kuti mme ŵakulijiganya ŵa che Paolo?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu pakuŵa nganinambatisya jwalijose pasikati jenu ikaŵe che Kilispo ni che Gayo pe.
15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
Kwayele ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kusala kuti abatiswe aŵe jwakulijiganya jwangu.
16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
Ngukumbuchila, iyoyo nambatisye che Sitefano ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao, nambo ngangukumbuchila kuti nambatisye mundu jwine.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.
Pakuŵa Kilisito ngananajichisya kwabatisya ŵandu, nambo naalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone, ni ngaŵa kwa maloŵe gakwanonyelesya ŵandu, kuti chiwa cha Kilisito pa nsalaba chinaŵe cha bule.
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.
Pakuŵa utenga nkati chiwa cha Kilisito pa nsalaba ukuwoneka uloŵelo kwa ŵakusochela, nambo kwetuwe ŵatukukulupuswa, tukugaona machili ga Akunnungu.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakusala, “Chinalujonanje lunda lwa ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda, ni umanyilisi wa ŵandu ŵaali ni umanyilisi chinaukane.”
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)
Alikwapi jwakwete lunda? Alikwapi jwakwiganya malajisyo? Alikwapi jwakumanyilila kutagula indu ya pachilambo? Akunnungu alutesile lunda lwa chilambo chino luŵe uloŵelo. (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.
Nti yalutite lunda lwa Akunnungu, ŵandu ŵa pachilambo ngakukombola kwamanyilila Akunnungu kwa lunda lwao achinsyene. Nambo Akunnungu ŵasachile kwakulupusya ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila kwa litala lya utenga utukwalalichila, aula waukuoneka uli uloŵelo kwa aŵala ŵaali ni lunda lwa chiundu.
22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
Ŵayahudi akusaka imanyisyo ni Ŵagiliki akusosa lunda.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
Nambo uweji tukunlalichila ngani ja Kilisito juŵaŵambikwe pa nsalaba. Ngani jajikuloleka chakukuŵasya kwa Ŵayahudi ni uloŵelo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Nambo kwa ŵele uŵaŵilanjikwe ni Akunnungu, Ŵayahudi pane ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, Kilisito ali machili ga Akunnungu ni lunda lwa Akunnungu.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
Pakuŵa chachikuloleka uli uloŵelo wa Akunnungu chikwete lunda kupunda lunda lwa ŵandu, nombe chachikuloleka uli ulepetelo wa Akunnungu chikwete machili kugapunda machili ga ŵandu.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
Nipele achalongo achinjangu, nkumbuchile imwaliji paŵammilasile Akunnungu. Kwa chipimo cha ŵandu nganimma ŵajinji ŵaŵakwete lunda, iyoyo nganimma ŵajinji ŵamwaliji ni machili, nombe nganimma ŵajinji umwamanyiche nnope.
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.
Nambo Akunnungu ŵaisagwile indu yaikuwoneka ili yakuloŵela pachilambo kuti ŵataje soni ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda, sooni Akunnungu aisagwile yakulepetala ya pachilambo kuti ŵataje soni ŵandu ŵaali ni machili.
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,
Akunnungu aisagwile indu ya pachilambo yakunyeluswa ni kukanikwa ni yaikuwoneka yangalimate, kuti aijonanje aila yaikuwoneka ni ŵandu kuti yanamate mu nganisyo sya ŵandu.
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
Akunnungu ŵatesile yeleyo kuti akapagwa mundu ŵakulilapa paujo pao.
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Akunnungu nsyene anlumbikenye mwanya ni Che Yesu Kilisito. Nombe Akunnungu antesile Kilisito aŵe lunda lwetu. Tukuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, ni kuŵa ŵandu ŵatuŵichikwe pa jika kwa ligongo lya Akunnungu ni ŵawombweche.
31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Mpela itite kulembekwa Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Jwalijose jwakulilapa alilape kwa achila chatesile Ambuje.”
