1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul called apostle Christ Jesus through/because of will/desire God and Sosthenes the/this/who brother
Mimi Paulo, niliyeitwa kuwa mtume wa Kristo Yesu kwa mapenzi ya Mungu, na ndugu Sosthene,
2 the/this/who assembly the/this/who God the/this/who to be in/on/among Corinth to sanctify in/on/among Christ Jesus called holy: saint with all the/this/who to call (on)/name the/this/who name the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ in/on/among all place it/s/he (and/both *k*) and me
tunawaandikia ninyi mlio kanisa la Mungu huko Korintho. Ninyi mmefanywa watakatifu katika kuungana na Kristo Yesu, mkaitwa muwe watu wa Mungu, pamoja na watu wote popote wanaomwomba Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo aliye Bwana wao na wetu pia.
3 grace you and peace away from God father me and lord: God Jesus Christ
Nawatakieni neema na amani kutoka kwa Mungu Baba yetu na Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
4 to thank the/this/who God me always about you upon/to/against the/this/who grace the/this/who God the/this/who to give you in/on/among Christ Jesus
Ninamshukuru Mungu wangu daima kwa ajili yenu kwa sababu amewatunukia ninyi neema yake kwa njia ya Kristo Yesu.
5 that/since: since in/on/among all to enrich in/on/among it/s/he in/on/among all word and all knowledge
Maana, kwa kuungana na Kristo mmetajirishwa katika kila kitu. Mmejaliwa elimu yote na uwezo wote wa kuhubiri,
6 as/just as the/this/who testimony the/this/who Christ to confirm in/on/among you
kwani, ujumbe juu ya Kristo umethibitishwa ndani yenu,
7 so you not to lack in/on/among nothing gift to expect the/this/who revelation the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ
hata hampungukiwi kipaji chochote cha kiroho mkiwa mnangojea kufunuliwa kwake Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
8 which and to confirm you until goal/tax irreproachable in/on/among the/this/who day the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ
Yeye atawaimarisha ninyi mpaka mwisho mpate kuonekana bila hatia Siku ile ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
9 faithful the/this/who God through/because of which to call: call toward participation the/this/who son it/s/he Jesus Christ the/this/who lord: God me
Mungu ni mwaminifu; yeye aliwaita ninyi muwe na umoja na Mwanae Yesu Kristo Bwana wetu.
10 to plead/comfort then you brother through/because of the/this/who name the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ in order that/to the/this/who it/s/he to say all and not to be in/on/among you split to be then to complete in/on/among the/this/who it/s/he mind and in/on/among the/this/who it/s/he resolution
Ndugu, ninawasihi kwa jina la Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo: pataneni nyote katika kila jambo msemalo; yasiweko mafarakano kati yenu; muwe na fikira moja na nia moja.
11 to make clear for me about you brother me by/under: by the/this/who Chloe that/since: that quarrel in/on/among you to be
Ndugu zangu, habari nilizopata kutoka kwa watu kadhaa wa jamaa ya Kloe, zaonyesha wazi kwamba kuna kutoelewana kati yenu.
12 to say then this/he/she/it that/since: that each you to say I/we on the other hand to be Paul I/we then Apollos I/we then Cephas I/we then Christ
Nataka kusema hivi: kila mmoja anasema chake: mmoja husema, “Mimi ni wa Paulo,” mwingine: “Mimi ni wa Apolo,” mwingine: “Mimi ni wa Kefa,” na mwingine: “Mimi ni wa Kristo,”.
13 to divide the/this/who Christ not Paul to crucify above/for you or toward the/this/who name Paul to baptize
Je, Kristo amegawanyika? Je, Paulo ndiye aliyesulubiwa kwa ajili yenu? Au je, mlibatizwa kwa jina la Paulo?
14 to thank the/this/who God that/since: that none you to baptize if: not not Crispus and Gaius
Namshukuru Mungu kwamba sikumbatiza mtu yeyote miongoni mwenu isipokuwa tu Krispo na Gayo.
15 in order that/to not one to say that/since: that toward the/this/who I/we name (to baptize *N(K)O*)
Kwa hiyo hakuna awezaye kusema amebatizwa kwa jina langu.
16 to baptize then and the/this/who Stephanas house: household henceforth no to know if one another to baptize
(Samahani, nilibatiza pia jamaa ya Stefana; lakini zaidi ya hawa, sidhani kama nilimbatiza mtu mwingine yeyote.)
17 no for to send me Christ to baptize but to speak good news no in/on/among wisdom word in order that/to not to empty the/this/who cross the/this/who Christ
Kristo hakunituma kubatiza, bali kuhubiri Habari Njema; tena, niihubiri bila kutegemea maarifa ya hotuba za watu kusudi nguvu ya kifo cha Kristo msalabani isibatilishwe.
18 the/this/who word for the/this/who the/this/who cross the/this/who on the other hand to destroy foolishness to be the/this/who then to save me power God to be
Maana ujumbe kuhusu kifo cha Kristo msalabani ni jambo la kipumbavu kwa wale walio katika mkumbo wa kupotea, lakini kwetu sisi tulio katika njia ya wokovu ujumbe huo ni nguvu ya Mungu.
19 to write for to destroy the/this/who wisdom the/this/who wise and the/this/who understanding the/this/who intelligent to reject
Maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: “Nitaiharibu hekima yao wenye hekima, na elimu ya wataalamu nitaitupilia mbali.”
20 where? wise where? scribe where? debater the/this/who an age: age this/he/she/it not! be foolish the/this/who God the/this/who wisdom the/this/who world (this/he/she/it *k*) (aiōn g165)
Yu wapi basi, mwenye hekima? Yu wapi basi, mwalimu wa Sheria? Naye bingwa wa mabishano wa nyakati hizi yuko wapi? Mungu ameifanya hekima ya ulimwengu kuwa upumbavu. (aiōn g165)
21 since for in/on/among the/this/who wisdom the/this/who God no to know the/this/who world through/because of the/this/who wisdom the/this/who God to delight the/this/who God through/because of the/this/who foolishness the/this/who preaching to save the/this/who to trust (in)
Maana, kadiri ya hekima ya Mungu, watu hawawezi kumjua Mungu kwa njia ya hekima yao wenyewe. Badala yake, Mungu amependa kuwaokoa wale wanaoamini kwa njia ya kile ambacho wenye hekima wanakiona kuwa ni upumbavu, yaani ujumbe tunaohubiri.
22 since and Jew (sign *N(K)O*) to ask and Greek, Gentile wisdom to seek
Wayahudi wanataka ishara, na Wagiriki wanatafuta hekima;
23 me then to preach Christ to crucify Jew on the other hand stumbling block (Gentiles *N(K)O*) then foolishness
lakini sisi tunamhubiri Kristo aliyesulubiwa. Kwa Wayahudi jambo hili ni kikwazo, na kwa watu wa mataifa ni upumbavu;
24 it/s/he then the/this/who called Jew and/both and Greek, Gentile Christ God power and God wisdom
lakini kwa wale walioitwa, Wayahudi kwa Wagiriki, Kristo ni nguvu ya Mungu na hekima ya Mungu.
25 that/since: since the/this/who foolish the/this/who God wise the/this/who a human to be and the/this/who weak the/this/who God strong the/this/who a human (to be *k*)
Maana kinachoonekana kuwa ni upumbavu wa Mungu, kina busara zaidi kuliko hekima ya binadamu; na kinachoonekana kuwa ni udhaifu wa Mungu, kina nguvu zaidi kuliko nguvu za binadamu.
26 to see for the/this/who calling you brother that/since: that no much wise according to flesh no much able no much of noble birth
Ndugu, kumbukeni wakati mlipoitwa: wengi wenu hawakuwa wenye hekima hata kwa fikira za binadamu; wengi hawakuwa wenye nguvu au watu wa tabaka ya juu.
27 but the/this/who foolish the/this/who world to select the/this/who God in order that/to to dishonor the/this/who wise and the/this/who weak the/this/who world to select the/this/who God in order that/to to dishonor the/this/who strong
Ndiyo kusema, Mungu aliyachagua yale ambayo ulimwengu huyaona ni upumbavu, ili awaaibishe wenye hekima; na aliyachagua yale ambayo ulimwengu huyaona ni dhaifu, ili awaaibishe wenye nguvu.
28 and the/this/who lowly the/this/who world and the/this/who to reject to select the/this/who God (and *ko*) the/this/who not to be in order that/to the/this/who to be to abate
Mungu ameyachagua yale ambayo kwa fikira za dunia ni mambo yaliyo duni na yanayodharauliwa, mambo ambayo hata hayakuwako, ili kwa hayo ayafutilie mbali yale ambayo kwa fikira za binadamu ni mambo ya maana.
29 that not to boast all flesh before the/this/who (God *N(K)O*)
Basi, hakuna mtu awezaye kujivunia chochote mbele ya Mungu.
30 out from it/s/he then you to be in/on/among Christ Jesus which to be wisdom me away from God righteousness and/both and holiness and redemption
Mungu mwenyewe ndiye aliyewaunganisha ninyi na Kristo Yesu. Mungu amemfanya Kristo awe hekima yetu; kwa njia yake sisi tunapatanishwa na Mungu, tunakuwa watu wake Mungu na kukombolewa.
31 in order that/to as/just as to write the/this/who to boast in/on/among lord: God to boast
Basi, kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: “Mwenye kutaka kujivuna, basi, na ajivunie kazi ya Bwana.”
