1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
U Paulo, naewilangilwe nu Yesu Kilisto kutula mutume kuulowa wang'wi Tunda, nu Sosthene muluwa witu.
2 to the church of God in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be saints, together with all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:
Kitekeelo nilang'wi Tunda nilikole kukorintho, kuawa niaikilwe wakfu mung'wa yesu Kilisto, neitangilwe kutula antu neatakatifu. Kuuaandekila ga nawa ehi neelitanga elina lamukkulu witu u Yesu Kilisto mukianza kehi, Mukulu nuao nuyu nuulu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende nuupolo utule kung'waanyu kupuma kung'wi Tunda utata witu nu Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
4 I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.
Mahiku ehi numusongeeye Itunda nuane kunsoko anyu, kunsoko aukende wang'wi Tunda nu Yesu Kilisto awapee.
5 For you have been enriched in him in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,
Watendile kutula agole kukila nzila, muutambu mpalung'wi nimahala ehi.
6 just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you,
Watendile agole, anga uwikengwi kukiila kung'wa Kilisto kina ugombilwe kutai mumo mitalanyu.
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kuite gwa shamukuhielwa uupegwe yakenkolo, anga nimukete insula nakulindiila ukunukuilwe nua Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
8 He will strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukumukomisa unye gwa, sunga impelo nsoko muleke kumelwa muluhiku nula Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Itunda shawikalika naumitangile unye muupalung'wi nuang'wakwe, u Yesu Mkulu witu.
10 Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be knit together in the same mind and in the same purpose.
Itungeli kumupepeelya akaka niadada ane, kukiila elina nila Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto, kina ehi agombe, hange kina itule kutile uwikomi mung'waanyu. Kumupepelya kina mihanguile palung'wi kisigo ling'wi nuupikeeli ung'wi.
11 For it has been disclosed to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe's household, that there are quarrels among you.
Inge iantu amito nilawa Klowe ambila kina ukole wikani nulongolekile mitalanyu.
12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul,” while another says, “I follow Apollos,” or, “I follow Cephas,” or, “I follow Christ.”
Nkete ndogoilyo siye: Kela ung'wi wanyu wilunga, unene niang'wa Paulo,” ang'wi, “unene niang'wa Apolo,” ang'wi niang'wa Kefa” ang'wi “unene niang'wa Kilisto.”
13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Itee, Ukilisto utemanukilene? Itee, Upaulo aewagigwe kunsoko anyune? Itea, aemubadisigwe kulina lang'wa Paulone?
14 I give thanks to God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Nimusongeeye Itunda kina singa aembadisilya wehi inge Ukilisto du nu Gayo.
15 so that no one may say that I baptized into my own name.
Iye naeyezetula kina kutile wehi nauzelunga mbadisigwe kulina lane.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not recall if I baptized anyone else.)
(Aeniabadisilye ga nawaniamilo nilang'wa Stephania. Kukila pang'wanso, singanengile ang'wi aenamubadisa muntu numungiza wehi).
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, and not with cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be deprived of its power.
Kunsoko u Kilisto shanga auntumile kubadisa inge aekutanatya inkani ninziza. Shanga auntumile kutanantya inkani niikulyo lakuuntu, nsoko kina engulu nikota lampaga nilang'wa Kilisto ilekekuhegigwa.
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Kunsoko ulukani likota lampaga upungu huawa niakusha kuite kuawa ni Tunda ukuaguna, ngulu ang'wi Tunda.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will nullify.”
Kunsoko iandekile, “Kubipya ikulyo lao awa niakete kubipya ulingi wao nuamahala.
20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish? (aiōn g165)
Ukolipe umuntu nukete ikulyo? Ukolipe nukete umanyisi? Ukolipe umutambuli umupepeli nuamuunkumbigulu uwu? Itee, Itunda shamaaupiunene ikulyo nilamuunkumbigulu uwu kutula upugu? (aiōn g165)
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of our proclamation to save those who believe.
Kupuma uunkumbigulu nikulyo lakwe shaeumulengile Itunda, aeyemunonee tunda kuupungu wao nuautananti nsoko waagune awa niakuhuela.
22 For Jews ask for a sign and Greeks seek wisdom,
Iayahudi ekolya ilengasiilyo niamakula nukuayunani eduma ikulyo.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Kuite kuumutanantya u Kilisto naeupagekilwe, naekimeli kuayahudi muupungu kuayunani.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Kuite awanaeitangilwe ni Tunda, Iayahudi nia Yunani, kuu mutanantya u Kilisto anga ngulu nikulyo lang'wi Tunda.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Kunsoko u upungu nuang'wa Itunda, ukete upolo ikila nua ana adamu, nu unyeku nuang'wa Itunda ukete ngulu ikilo nua ana adamu.
26 Consider your calling, brothers, that not many of you were wise according to the flesh, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
Gozi uwitangi nuang'wi Tunda kung'waanyu, akaka niadada ane. Singa aemiedu tai naemukete ingulu. Singamiedu tai nemutugilwe muukulu.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
Kuite Itunda ausague imaintu nimapungu namihe nsoko akuhumye iminyala aya nakete ikulyo. Itunda ausague aya nimanegetu nikamihe kukihumya iminyala nikikete ingulu.
28 God chose what is lowly and despised in the world, things that are regarded as nothing, to nullify the things that are regarded as something,
Itunda ausague iki nikikole pihe nikinikimeilwe munumuhe. Ausague nimaintu nisinga aiaaigwe kina maintu nukimatenda singa kintu imaintu nakete insailo.
29 so that no flesh might boast before God.
Autendile ite nsoko itule kutile wehi nukete insoko akihumbula ntongeela akwe.
30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God, and in whom we have righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
Kunsoko aeki Itunda nukitendile, itungo ile mukole mukati ang'wa Yesu Kilisto, nutendekile ikulyo kunsoko itu kupuma kung'wi Tunda. Naetai itu, utakatifu nukomolwi.
31 Therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Anga wigeeli, anga ulukani nululungile, “nukikulya, wikulye Mumukulu.”
