1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
Nne a Pauli njemilwe kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, na Bhakilishitu ajangu a Shoshiteneshi ngunakunnjandishilanga,
2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called, holy, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours;
mmanganya likanisha lya a Nnungu nninginji ku Kolinto. Nninginji bha ukonjelo nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, nshemilwenje mmanganje bhandu bha a Nnungu pamo na bhandu bhowe bhakwaajuganga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali bhakulungwa bhabhonji na bhetu.
3 grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu, na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 I ever thank my God for you, on account of the grace of God bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus;
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha bhashikumpanganga nema jabho pitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
5 that in him ye were enriched in everything, in all utterance, and all knowledge,
Pabha, kwa lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu nshishulushilwanga kwa kila shindu. Nshikolanga shikono sha lumanyio lowe na kombola kubheleketa.
6 as the testimony of Christ was established among you;
Malinga ukong'ondelo gwa a Kilishitu shiushite malila mmitima jenunji,
7 so that ye come behind in no gift, while waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
wala nkatubhilwanga shipaji shoshowe, nnilolelanga kubhonekana kwabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
8 who will also make you steadfast to the end, so that ye may be without blame in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bhenebho shibhanshimilikanje mmanganya mpaka kumpelo, nnabhonekanje nshilebhanga lyubha lya kwiya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu lila.
9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
A Nnungu bha kulupalika, bhashinkunshemanga mmanganya mmanganje shindu shimo na bhana bhabho a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
10 But I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Ashaalongo, ngunakunshondelesheyanga kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu kuti, gunkubheleketanga gabhe gamo, kunapagwe kugabhanyika munkumbi gwenunji, ikabhe nkolanje ng'aniyo imo na ndumbililo imo.
11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are dissensions among you.
Pabha ashaalongo ajangu, njilugulilwa ga ngani jenunji na bhandunji bha ulongo gwa a Koloe kuti, gushipagwa mpwai munkumbi gwenunji.
12 What I mean is this, that each of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
Bhai, shingupinga bheleketa ni sheshino, kila mundu anabheleketa mwakwe. Juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Pauli,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Apolo,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Kepa”, na juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Kilishitu.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized the name of Paul?
Bhuli, a Kilishitu bhashigabhanyika? Bhuli, a Pauli ni bhakomelwe munshalabha kwa ligongo lyenunji? Eu bhuli, mwashinkubhatishwanga kwa lina lya a Pauli?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha nangammatisha mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji ikabhe a Kilishipashi na a Gayo pe.
15 that no one may say that ye were baptized into my name.
Kwa nneyo jwakwa shaabhelekete kuti ashibhatishwa kwa lina lyangu.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; I am not aware that I baptized any one besides.
Elo, naabhatishenje a Shitepana na bha likaja lyabho, punda bhanganyabho, kwali monaga nammatishe mundu juna.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
A Kilishitu bhanganduma kubhatisha, ikabhe nunguye Ngani ja Mmbone. Na kwene lunguyako kunakulupalile lunda lwa shigundu, nkupinga kuwa kwa a Kilishitu munshalabha kunapetekuywe.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.
Pabha ntenga gwa kuwa kwa a Yeshu munshalabha kwa bhaobhanga ni ungumba, ikabheje kwetu uwe tuli muntapulo gwa gwene ntenga go, ni mashili ga a Nnungu.
19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nought the discernment of the discerning.”
Pabha ishijandikwa, “Shing'angabhanye lunda lwabhonji, na lumanyio lwa bhaashomanga shinilukane.”
20 Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Bhai, luli kwei lunda lwa bhakwetenje lunda? Bhalinginji kwei bhaajiganya bha shalia ja a Musha? Ali kwei jwa mitau jwa gene mobha gano? A Nnungu bhashikulutenda lunda lwa bhandu bha pashilambolyo ubhelu. (aiōn g165)
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by its wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe;
Pabha kwa lunda lwa a Nnungu, bhandu bhakwetenje lunda bhakakombolanga kwaamanya a Nnungu. Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaatapulanga bhakwaakulupalilanga, kwa shene shibhakushibhonanga bhakwetenje lunda kuti ungumba, yani ntenga gutulunguya
22 since even Jews ask for signs, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;
Pabha Bhayaudi bhanapinganga ilangulo na Bhagiliki bhanaloleyanga lunda.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling-block, and to gentiles foolishness,
Ikabheje uwe tunakwaalunguya a Kilishitu bhapotekwe munshalabha. Ku Bhayaudi ndabhila na kubhandu bha ilambo ina ungumba,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
ikabheje kwa bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, a Kilishitu ni mashili na lunda lwa a Nnungu.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Pabha ubhonekana ungumba gwa a Nnungu ushikola lunda kupunda lwa bhandu, kubhoneka kunyegala kwa a Nnungu, kushikola mashili kupunda mashili ga bhandu.
26 For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;
Ashaapwanga, nkumbushilanje mobha gumwashemilwenje na a Nnungu, bhakwetenje lunda bhakashulukenjeje nkali kwa lunda lwa shigundu, bhabhagwinji bhakamanyikenjeje na wala bhakakwetenjeje indu.
27 but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong;
Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashinkuiagula indu ya shibhelu, nkupinga bhaapetekuyanje bhakwetenje lunda, na bhashinkuiagula indu ya nyegaywa nkupinga kwaapetekuyanga bhandu bhakwetenje mashili.
28 and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;
A Nnungu bhashinkuagula indu ya nyegala yangali mashili ya pashilambolyo, numbe indu ya nyegala yabhonekaga mbuti ikapaliji, nkupinga bhaipetekuye indu ibhoneka ya mmbone ku bhandunji.
29 that no flesh might glory before God.
Bhai, jwakwa mundu shaipunile shoshowe kwa a Nnungu.
30 But from him it is that ye are in Christ Jesus, who from God was made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;
A Nnungu bhayene bhashikunnundanyanga na a Kilishitu Yeshu. A Nnungu bhashikwaatenda a Kilishitu bhabhe lunda lwetu na aki jetu, na pitila bhenebho uwe tunalundana na a Nnungu kubha bhandu bhabho bha ukonjelo, na bhawetenje aki na bhagombolwenje.
31 that, according as it is written, “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
Bhai, malinga shiijandikwe, “Apinga kwiipuna, bhai, aipunile liengo lya Bhakulungwa.”
