1 Corinthians 3
1 And I myself And I myself brothers not was able to speak to you as to spiritual but as (to fleshly, *N(k)O*) as to infants in Christ.
Ndugu, mimi sikuweza kusema nanyi kama watu mlio na huyo Roho. Nilipaswa kusema nanyi kama watu wa kidunia, kama watoto wachanga katika maisha ya Kikristo.
2 Milk you I gave to drink, (and *k*) not solid food; not yet for were you able, In fact (not *N(k)O*) still now are you able;
Ilinibidi kuwalisheni kwa maziwa, na si kwa chakula kigumu, kwani hamkuwa tayari kukipokea. Hata sasa hamko tayari.
3 still for fleshly you are. Where for [are] among you jealousy and strife (and dissensions *K*) surely fleshly are you and according to man are walking?
Maana bado mu watu wa kidunia. Je, si kweli kwamba bado uko wivu na magombano kati yenu? Mambo hayo yanaonyesha wazi kwamba ninyi bado ni watu wa kidunia, mnaishi mtindo wa kidunia.
4 When for may say one; I myself indeed am of Paul, another however I myself of Apollos, (surely *N(k)O*) (human *N(K)O*) are you?
Mmoja wenu anaposema, “Mimi ni wa Paulo”, na mwingine, “Mimi ni wa Apolo”, je, hiyo haionyeshi kwamba mnaishi bado kama watu wa dunia hii tu?
5 (who *N(k)O*) then is Apollos (who *N(k)O*) now (is *no*) Paul (other than *K*) Servants through whom you believed, also to each as the Lord has given.
Apolo ni nani? na Paulo ni nani? Sisi ni watumishi tu ambao tuliwaleteeni ninyi imani. Kila mmoja wetu anafanya kazi aliyopewa na Bwana.
6 I myself planted, Apollos watered, but God was [it] growing;
Mimi nilipanda mbegu, Apolo akamwagilia maji; lakini aliyeiotesha mbegu ni Mungu.
7 So neither the [one] planting is anything nor the [one] watering, but [only] the [One] giving growth — God;
Wa maana si yule aliyepanda mbegu, au yule aliyemwagilia maji; wa maana ni Mungu aliyeiwezesha mbegu kuota.
8 The [one] planting now also the [one] watering one are, each now [his] own reward will receive according to [his] own labor.
Yule aliyepanda na yule aliyemwagilia maji wote ni sawa, ingawa kila mmoja atapokea tuzo lake kufuatana na jitihada yake mwenyewe.
9 Of God for we are fellow workers; God’s field, God’s building you are.
Maana sisi ni ndugu, wafanyakazi pamoja na Mungu; na ninyi ni shamba lake; ninyi ni jengo lake.
10 According to the grace of God which having been given to me as a wise master builder [the] foundation (I laid, *N(k)O*) another however is building upon [it]. Each one however should take heed how he builds upon [it].
Kwa msaada wa neema aliyonipa Mungu, nimefaulu, kama mwashi stadi mwenye busara, kuweka msingi ambao juu yake mtu mwingine anajenga. Basi, kila mmoja awe mwangalifu jinsi anavyojenga juu yake.
11 Foundation for another no [one] is able to lay besides the [one] being already laid, which is Jesus (*k*) Christ.
Hakuna mtu awezaye kuweka msingi mwingine badala ya ule uliokwisha wekwa, yaani Yesu Kristo.
12 If now anyone builds upon foundation (this *k*) (gold, silver, *NK(o)*) stones precious, wood, hay, straw,
Juu ya msingi huo mtu anaweza kujenga kwa dhahabu, fedha au mawe ya thamani; anaweza kutumia miti, majani au nyasi.
13 of each the work manifest will become; the for day will disclose [it], because in fire it is revealed, and of each the work what sort it is the fire (itself *no*) will prove.
Iwe iwavyo, ubora wa kazi ya kila mmoja utaonekana wakati Siku ile ya Kristo itakapoifichua. Maana, Siku hiyo itatokea na moto, na huo moto utaipima na kuonyesha ubora wake.
14 If of anyone the work will remain which he built up, a reward he will receive;
Ikiwa alichojenga mtu juu ya huo msingi kitaustahimili huo moto, atapokea tuzo;
15 If of anyone the work will be burned up, he will suffer loss, he himself however will be saved so however as through fire.
lakini kama alichojenga kitaunguzwa, basi, atapoteza tuzo lake; lakini yeye mwenyewe ataokolewa kana kwamba ameponyoka kutoka motoni.
16 Surely you know that temple of God you yourselves are, and the Spirit of God dwells in you
Je, hamjui kwamba ninyi ni hekalu la Mungu, na kwamba Roho wa Mungu anakaa ndani yenu?
17 If anyone the temple of God destroys, will destroy him God; for the temple of God holy is, which are you yourselves.
Basi, mtu akiliharibu hekalu la Mungu, Mungu atamharibu; maana hekalu la Mungu ni takatifu, na hekalu hilo ni ninyi wenyewe.
18 No one himself should deceive; if anyone thinks [himself] wise to be among you in age this, foolish he should become so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Msijidanganye! Mtu yeyote miongoni mwenu akijidhania mwenye hekima mtindo wa kidunia, heri awe mjinga kusudi apate kuwa na hekima ya kweli. (aiōn g165)
19 The for wisdom of the world this foolishness with God is. It has been written for: [He is] the [One] catching the wise in the craftiness of them;
Maana, hekima ya kidunia ni upumbavu mbele ya Mungu. Kwani Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Mungu huwanasa wenye hekima katika ujanja wao.”
20 And again; [The] Lord knows the thoughts of the wise that they are futile.
Na tena: “Bwana ajua kwamba mawazo ya wenye hekima hayafai.”
21 Therefore no one should boast in men; All things for of you are,
Basi, mtu asijivunie watu. Maana kila kitu ni chenu.
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or [the] world or life or death or things being present or things to come — all yours (is — *k*)
Paulo, Apolo na Kefa, ulimwengu, maisha na kifo; mambo ya sasa na ya baadaye, yote ni yenu.
23 you now of Christ, Christ now of God.
Lakini ninyi ni wa Kristo naye Kristo ni wa Mungu.
