1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —and Sosthenes the brother, —
Paulo ywakemilwe ni Kristo pangika Mtume kwa mapenzi ga Nnongo, ni Sosthene nnuna witu.
2 Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord and ours:
Kwa likanisa lya Nnongo lyalibile Korintho, kwa balo ambabo babekilwe wakfu mu Yesu Kristo, babakemilwe panga bandu atakatifu twaandikya kae balo boti babakema lina lya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo mahali palo, Ngwana wabe ni witu.
3 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema na amani ibe kwinu buka kwa Nnongo tate bitu ni Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
4 I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —
Masoba gote nimsukuru Nnongo wango kwa ajili yinu, kwa sababu ya neema ya Nnongo ywabile awapeile Yesu Kristo.
5 That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;
Abapangite kuwa matajiri mu'kila ndela, katika longela pamope maarifa gake.
6 Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,
Abapangite matajiri, kati ushuhuda kuhusu Kristo wautithibitisha kuwa kweli nkati yinu.
7 So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Kwa eyo ipungwa kwaa karama ya kiroho, kati samubile na kilulu so kuulinda ufunuo wa Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
8 Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ]:
Alowa kumwimarisha mwenga mpaka mwisho, ili kana mukaumilwe lisoba lya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
9 Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Nnongo ni mwaminifu ywabile abakemile mwenga mu'ushirika wa mwana wake, Yesu Kristo Ngwana witu.
10 But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together—in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
Nambeambe niasihi mwainja ni numbwango, pitya lina lya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo, panga mwabote muyikityange, ni panga kana kube ni banganika nkati yinu. Niasihi muungane pamope mu'nia jimo.
11 For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,
Mana bandu ba nyumba ya Kloe batumakiye kuwa kubile ni banganika nkati yinu.
12 Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:
Nibile na mana yee: Kila yumo abaya “nenga na ywaa Paulo”, au “nenga ni ywaa Apolo,” au nenga nI ba Kefa” au “nenga ni wa Kristo.”
13 The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
Je! Kristo atebanganika? Je Paulo atisulubilwa kwaajili yinu? Je! mwatibatizwa kwa lina lya Paulo?
14 I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,
Nenda kumshukuru Nnongo kuwa nimbatiliza kwaa yeyete, ila Krispo ni Gayo.
15 Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:
Yee yabile panga ntopo ywoywoti aweza baya mwabatizwa kwa lina lyango.
16 Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
(Pia natekuabatiza ba nyumba ya Sephania. Zaidi ya palo, nitangite kwaa kati nambatiza mundu ywenge yeyote).
17 For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.
Kwa kuwa, Kristo antumile kwaa batiza ila ubili injili. Antumile longela kwa maneno ga ekima ya kimundu, ili panga ngupu ya msalaba wa Kristo kana ubuke.
18 For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.
Kwa kuwa ujumbe wa msalaba ni upuuzi kwa balo batiwaa. Lakini kwa balo ambabo Nnongo atikwalopwa, ni ngupu ya Nnongo.
19 For it is written—I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
Kwa kuwa iandikilwe, “Nalowa kuiharibu hekima ya ywabile ni busara. Nalowa kuuharibu ufahamu wa babile ni malango.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Abile kwako mundu ywabile ni busara? ywabile kwako ywabile ni elimu? ywabile kwako ywabaya nga mshawishi wa dunia yee? Je Nnongo aigalambwile kwaa hekima ya dunia yee no pangika ulalo? (aiōn g165)
21 For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.
Buka dunia ipangika mu'hekima yake intangite kwaa Nnongo, impendeza kwaa Nnongo mu'ulalo wabe wa hubiri ili kubalopwa balo baaminiya.
22 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,
Kwa Ayahudi kulokiya ishara ya miujiza ni kwa Ayunani upala hekima.
23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;
Lakini tumuhubiri Kristo ywaatisulubilwa, ywabile kikwazo kwa Ayahudi na nga ulalo kwa Ayunani.
24 But, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.
Lakini kwa balo babakemile ni Nnongo, Ayahudi ni Ayunani, twamuhubiri Kristo kati ngupu ni hekima ya Nnongo.
25 Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.
Kwa kuwa ulalo wa Nnongo wabile ni hekima kuliko ya bandu, ni udhaifu wa Nnongo wabile ni ngupu kuliko ya bandu.
26 For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:
Lola wito wa Nnongo nnani yinu, ainja ni nnumbwa ngo. Ni baingi kwaa nkati yinu mwabile ni hekima mu'viwango vya bandu. Ni baingi kwa nkati yinu mwabile ni ngupu. baingi kwaa nkati yinu mubelekwi mu ukolo.
27 On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,
Lakini Nnongo asawile ile ya kilalo ya dunia ili kwiaibisha yabile ni hekima. Nnongo asawile sa'kinyatike mu'dunia kukiabisha sa kibile ni ngupu.
28 And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;
Nnongo asawile chelo cha hali ya pae ni chabile chakisalaulilwe mu'dunia. Asawile ata ilebe ambayo yabalangilwe kwaa pangika ilebe, kwa kuipanga ilebe kwaa yabile ni yhamani.
29 So that no flesh should boast before God.
Apangite nyoo ili kana abe yeyote ywabile ni sababu ya kuipunia nnonge yake.
30 But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Kwa sababu ya chelo chaakipangite Nnongo, nambeambe mubile nkati ya Kristo Yesu, ywabile apangike hekima kwa ajili yinu kuoma kwa Nnongo. Abile nga haki yitu, utakatifu ni ukombozi.
31 In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
Kati matokeo, kati liandiko lyatibaya, “Ywaisipu, aisipu mu'Nngwana.”
