1 Corinthians 16
1 Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye: —
Wu ziza'a nitu tere wu sere kpe wu zo bi hwu tere Rji wa me tere ni Ikilisiyoyi ni Galatiya, Anaki bi ti.
2 Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, —lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.
Ni ve wu mumla wu sati, du bi ka kpe zi, ni zi nibubu wubi ma wagbeble bi ni kai. Bita tei naki iton wa metaye ana wa bila tere bi shu kpi ni tei na.
3 And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem:
Wuton wa me taye, me tindu ni du ni bi wa bi kpa ye ni ba nha ni bawu ni duba gni sakon bi hi ni Urushilima.
4 And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.
Wu anita bi wu meme me he game, wu baka wu me.
5 Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia, —for I do pass through Macedonia,
Wu me taye niyi me zu ni mece donia. Du naki me zu ni mace donia.
6 And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.
Ani tabi me son niyi, me wuton wu suyi ni duyi zo me nit zeryi ni du wuzhi wa me zu.
7 For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, —if, the Lord, permit.
Wu me na son me to yi ziza'a na me ka si hi mu. me yo sur mena hei niton mekuson niyi. Irji ni ta kpa yeme.
8 But I remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost,
Me sar ku kri ni afisus nive wu fentikos.
9 For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.
Ikon bwu ni mu bar wubilo shishi nime ba bar (bi karme bar).
10 But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:
Wu ton wa Timoti ni taye bi ka du ka kpa le niyi indu Rji ani tei na wo ime me me se tei.
11 Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.
Du ri na kpa a zir na. Za ni konmu wu bima ni se sur, wa har ka ye ni me. Du me son du bi tzir baba mir vayi ba.
12 But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now; —he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity.
Wuni tu vayi mbu Afolos, me yo sur mu du ziyarce ni yi ni bru miri vayi, wu ana yo sur wuye ziza'a rina. u ton ni ta yi ani ye
13 Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men—be strong;
Mla ya ni son gbangban ni bangaskiya ni son, ison wu lulo, ni tsar gbengle suron.
14 Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.
Du kpe wa bi tei, bi katei ni kpayembi.
15 Now I beseech you, brethren, —ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints—
Wuni tere wu in ndi biko site fan as, baba yi ba kuci kpa Rji ni akaya, wuba yo tumba ni yi hidima ni biwa ba kpa Rji. Ziza'a me bre yi miri ya.
16 That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, —and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.
Bika yi biyayya ni iri ndi biyi ni du biwa ba zo nimi ndu wani fama nita.
17 I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: —
Me gir ni ye sitefan as, ni furtunatas ni Akai kas, Bazo me ka wu na hei na.
18 They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.
Wu baka wartsaka ni ruhu mu ni wubi wa naki bika mla inoli biki tei.
19 The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord:
Du ikilisiyoyi bi Asia ba turici ba niyiwu. Aquila mba Pricilla ba ciyi ni de Rji, ni ikilisiya wa ha hei niwu ni miko mba.
20 All the brethren salute you: —Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.
Du mini vayi ba ciyi ci kpambi sumba maitsarki.
21 The salutation of Paul—with my own hand.
Ime Bulus, me han wayi ni womu.
22 If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].
Du ndi wa ana kpaye meni Rji na ani hei ndi La'anane. Du Rji mbu ye.
23 The favour of the Lord Jesus, be with you.
Du Alheri Baci Yesu du son ni yi.
24 My love, be with you all, in Christ Jesus.
Du kpayem mu du son ni yi wawu ni minde Baci Yesu [Amin]
