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: —
Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro wa mũhothi nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Ngai ũtariĩ ũũ: Ĩkagai ũrĩa ndeerire makanitha ma Galatia mekage.
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.
Mũthenya wa mbere wa kiumia-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu nĩagĩrĩirwo nĩkũigaga mbeeca ta ũrĩa ũthũkũmi wake ũigana, agaciigaga, nĩguo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngooka kũu gũtikanagĩe na mũhothi.
3 And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem:
Na ndaakinya-rĩ, andũ arĩa mũgaakorwo mũgathĩrĩirie nĩngamahe marũa ma kũmamenyithania na ndĩmatũme Jerusalemu na iheo cianyu.
4 And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.
Na kũngĩkoneka kwagĩrĩire o na niĩ thiĩ-rĩ, nĩngatwarana nao.
5 Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia, —for I do pass through Macedonia,
Ndaarĩkia gũtuĩkanĩria Makedonia-rĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩngatuĩkanĩria kuo, nĩngooka kũrĩ inyuĩ.
6 And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.
Hihi ngaikara na inyuĩ gwa kahinda, o na kana njikare kũu hĩndĩ ya heho yothe, nĩguo mũkaahota kũndeithĩrĩria gũthiĩ rũgendo-inĩ rwakwa kũrĩa guothe ngaathiĩ.
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.
Ndikwenda kuonana na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩno ndĩrahĩtũkĩra kũu, tondũ ngwĩhoka atĩ nĩtũgaikarania na inyuĩ kwa ihinda, Mwathani etĩkĩra.
8 But I remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost,
No nĩngũikara gũkũ Efeso nginya hĩndĩ ya Bendegothito,
9 For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.
tondũ ndĩmũhingũrĩre mweke mũnene wa kũruta wĩra mwega ũrĩ na uumithio, no nacio thũ nĩ nyingĩ.
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:
Timotheo angĩũka-rĩ, menyererai nĩguo aikare kũu na inyuĩ atarĩ na guoya, nĩgũkorwo nĩ wĩra wa Mwathani araruta, o ta ũrĩa ndĩraruta.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwaga kũmwamũkĩra. Mumagariei na thayũ nĩgeetha akinye kũrĩ niĩ. Nĩndĩmwetereire marĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
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.
Na rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Apolo-rĩ: nĩndamũringĩrĩirie mũno ooke kũrĩ inyuĩ arĩ hamwe na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ. Nowe ndeendaga gũũka ihinda rĩu, no nĩarĩũka aagĩa na mweke.
13 Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men—be strong;
Ikaragai mwĩhũgĩte, na mwĩhaande mũrũmĩte wega thĩinĩ wa wĩtĩkio; ningĩ mũtuĩke andũ omĩrĩru; na mũgĩe na hinya.
14 Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.
Ĩkagai maũndũ mothe mũrĩ na wendani.
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—
Inyuĩ nĩmũũĩ atĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Stefana nĩo maarĩ a mbere gwĩtĩkia kũu bũrũri wa Akaia, na nĩmerutĩire gũtungatagĩra andũ arĩa aamũre. Nĩngũkĩmũringĩrĩria, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ,
16 That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, —and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.
mwathĩkagĩre andũ ta acio, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũrutithanagia wĩra na ithuĩ, akĩũnogagĩra.
17 I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: —
Nĩndakenire rĩrĩa Stefana, marĩ na Fotunato, na Akaiko maakinyire, nĩ ũndũ nĩo maahingĩirie ũndũ ũrĩa itaarĩ naguo kuuma kũrĩ inyuĩ.
18 They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmacanjamũrire roho wakwa o na wanyu. Andũ ta acio nĩmagĩrĩirwo kũheagwo gĩtĩĩo.
19 The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord:
Makanitha ma bũrũri wa Asia nĩmamũgeithia. Akula na Pirisila nĩmamũgeithia mũno thĩinĩ wa Mwathani, o na kanitha ũrĩa ũcemanagia kwao nyũmba nĩwamũgeithia.
20 All the brethren salute you: —Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ nĩmamũgeithia. O mũndũ nĩageithie ũrĩa ũngĩ na ngeithi theru cia kĩmumunyano.
21 The salutation of Paul—with my own hand.
Niĩ, Paũlũ, nĩ niĩ ndandĩka ngeithi ici na guoko gwakwa.
22 If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].
Angĩkorwo he mũndũ o na ũ ũtendete Mwathani-rĩ, arogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi. Ũka, Mwathani!
23 The favour of the Lord Jesus, be with you.
Wega wa Mwathani Jesũ ũroikara na inyuĩ.
24 My love, be with you all, in Christ Jesus.
Wendani wakwa ũromũkinyĩra inyuĩ inyuothe mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. Ameni.
