1 Corinthians 3
1 I, therefore, brethren, have not been able to speak unto you, as unto men of the Spirit, but as unto men of the flesh—as unto babes in Christ: —
Ni nene, kaka ni dada yangu, najobhili lepi ni muenga kama bhanu kiroho, lakini kama ni bhanu bha kimbhele. Kama ni bhana bhadebe mu Kristu.
2 With milk, have I fed you, not, with meat; for, not yet, have ye been able; —nay! not [yet] even now, are ye able,
Nabhanywesili maziwa na si nyama, kwa ndabha mwayele lepi tayari kwa kulya nyama. Na hata henu muyelepi tayari.
3 For ye are yet fleshly. For, whereas there are, among you, jealousy and strife, are ye not, fleshly, and, after the manner of men, walking?
Kwa ndabha muenga mwakhona ni bha mbele. kwa ndabha wivu ni majifuno ghabonikile miongoni mwenu. Je, hamuishi kulengana na mbhele, na je, mwigenda lepi kama kawaida ya kibinadamu?
4 For, as soon as one beginneth to say—I, indeed, am of Paul! and another—I, of Apollos! are ye not, men?
Kwa ndabha mmonga ijobha, “Nikamfuata Paulo” Yhongi ijobha “Nikamfuata Apolo,” muishu lepi kama bhanadamu?
5 What then is Apollos? and, what is Paul? ministers through whom ye believed, and, each, as the Lord, gave to him.
Apolo ni niani? ni Paulo ni niani? bhatumishi bha yhola mwamini kwa khila ambayi Bwana ampelili jukumu.
6 I, planted, Apollos, watered, —but, God, caused to, grow.
Nene napanda, Apolo akasopili masi, lakini K'yara akuzili.
7 So that, [neither] is he that planteth anything, nor, he that watereth, —but, God, who causeth to, grow.
Henu, si ya kwelili wala yasopili masi ayele kyokyokhela. Lakini ni K'yara yaikuza.
8 Moreover, he that planteth and he that watereth, are one: —howbeit, each one, his own reward, shall receive, —according to his own labour.
Henu yaipanda ni yasopili masi bhoa ni sawa, ni khila mmonga ilota kupokela ujira wake kulengana ni mbombo ya muene.
9 For we are, God’s, fellow-workmen: ye are, God’s, farm, God’s building.
Kwa ndabha tete tu bhatitenda mbombo bha K'yara, muenga ni bustani ya K'yara lijengo la K'yara.
10 According to the favour of God which hath been given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation, whereas, another, is building thereon; but, let each one, see, how he buildeth thereon;
Kutokana ni neema ya K'yara yanipelibhu kama mjenzi mbaha, naubhekili msingi, ni yhongi ijenga panani pa muene. Lakini munu ayele makini jinsi kaijenga panani pa muene.
11 For, other foundation, can, no one, lay, than that which is lying, which is, Jesus Christ.
Kwa ndabha ayelepi yaibhuesya kujenga msingi bhongi zaidi ya waijengibhu, ambabhu ni Yesu Kristu.
12 But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation—gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
Henu, kama mmonga wa yhomo ajengili panani pa muene kwa dhahabu, hela, maganga gha thamani, mabhehe, manyasi, au mathondo,
13 Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed, —and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove: —
Mbombo ya muene yilota kufunulibhwa, kwa muanga wa pamusi wilota kudhihirishwa ni muoto. Muota wilota kujaribu ubora wa mbombo wa khila mmonga kyafuanyili.
14 If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive, —
Kama kyokyokhela munu kyajengili kitabaki, muene ilokupoela zawadi.
15 If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved—though, thus, as through fire.
Lakini kama mbombo ya munu ikiteketela kwa muoto, ilota kukabha hasara. Lakini muene ilota kuokolibhwa, kama fhela kuyepuka mu muoto.
16 Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?
Mumanyilepi kujha muenga ni hekalu lya K'yara ni ndabha roho gha K'yara itama mugati mwa yhomo?
17 If anyone doth mar the shrine of God, God, will mar him; for the shrine of God is holy, —and such are ye.
Tivai munu akaliharibu lihekalu lya K'yara, K'yara ilota kumharibu munu yhola. Kwandabha hekalu lya K'yara ni takatifu, na hwiyo ni muenga.
18 Let no one be deceiving himself: —if anyone imagineth himself to be wise among you, in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise; (aiōn g165)
Munu akalokhwidanganya tivai yeywoha yhale miongoni mwayhomo udhani ayele ni hekima katika nyakati ese, ayele tivai, “Mjinga” ndipo ilokuya ni hekima. (aiōn g165)
19 For, the wisdom of this world, is, foolishness with God; for it is written—He that taketh the wise in their knavery, —
Kwandabha hekima ya dunia eye ni ujinga palongolopa K'yara kwandabha ujandikibhu, “Bhakakamula bhabheyele ni hekima kwa hila sya bhene.”
20 And again—The Lord taketh note of the speculations of the wise, that they are vain.
ni kabhele “Bwana imanya mawazo ya bhabhayele ni busara ni batili”
21 So then, let, no one, be boasting in men; for, all things, are yours—
Henu munu akolokwifuna bhanadamu! Kwandabha fhenu fyoha ni f'ayhomho.
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come, all, are, yours,
Tivai ni Paulo, au Apolo, au kefa, au dunia, au maisha au kifo au fhenu fafiyele, au fafilota kuya fyiha ni fayhomho.
23 And, ye, are Christ’s, —and, Christ, is, God’s.
Ni muenga ni bha Kristu ni wa K'yara.
