1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Nene Pauli nikemeliwi kuvya mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu, kwa maganu ga Chapanga, na mlongo Sostene.
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:
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 to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nikuvaganila uteke na ubwina wa Chapanga kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
Nikumsengusa Chapanga wangu magono goha ndava yinu, ndava ya mota ya Chapanga yaavapelili kwa njila ya Yesu Kilisitu.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and 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 you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
hati nakupungukiwa na chipanji chochoa kuhuma kwa Mpungu Msopi pemwilindila kugubukuliwa kwa BAMBU witu Yesu Kilisitu.
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, 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, through whom you were called into 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 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.
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 reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.
Valongo vangu, mambu genigayuwini kuhuma kwa vandu va Kuloe, kuvya mwihutana pagati yinu.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow 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 you baptized into 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, except Crispus and Gaius,
Nikumsengusa Chapanga nabatizi lepi mundu hati mmonga winu ndi nga Kilisipo na Gayo.
15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
Hinu kawaka mweihotola kujova abatiziwi kwa liina langu.
16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know 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 Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.
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 message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being 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 the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
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 debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the 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 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.
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 Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
Vayawudi vigana chinamtiti na Vagiliki vilonda luhala.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
Nambu tete tikumkokosa Kilisitu mweavambiwi pamsalaba. Kwa Vayawudi lijambu lenili ndi unonopa, na kwa vandu vangali kuvya Vayawudi ndi uyimu,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is 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 man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
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 consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
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 chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.
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 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,
Chapanga ahagwili vindu pahi viviveveswa na mulima uwu, na vindu vingali kuvya muni agahalabisa mambu gevikemela kuvya ga chakaka.
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
Chapanga akitili chenichi kawaka mundu wa kumeka palongolo yaki.
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, 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 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Hinu ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova, “Mweigana kumeka, ndi, amekelayi ndava ya lihengu la BAMBU.”
