1 Corinthians 16
1 With reference to the Collection for Christ’s People, I want you to follow the instructions that I gave to the Churches in Galatia.
Sambano ngusala yankati mbiya kwa ligongo lya kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu: Mpanganye achila chinalajisye mmipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Galatia.
2 On the first day of every week each of you should put by what he can afford, so that no collections need be made after I have come.
Kila chijuma, kila mundu mwa ŵanyamwe asapule mbiya syasikutyochela mu yakupata yakwe, nipele agose kuti pachiiche ngasindenda nanjenunanjenu sooni.
3 On my arrival, I will send any persons, whom you may authorise by letter, to carry your gift to Jerusalem;
Namalaga kwika kukwenu, aŵala ŵandu uchimwasagule pasikati jenu, chinaatume ni chikalata chakwamanyisya, ni ajausye mbote syenu ku Yelusalemu.
4 and, if it appears to be worth while for me to go also, they shall go with me.
Iŵaga chiiwoneche ili yambone noneji nyaule, nipele ŵele ŵanduwo chalongane none.
5 I will come to you as soon as I have been through Macedonia — for I am going through Macedonia —
Chiiche kweleko namalaga kupita ku Makedonia, pakuŵa ngusaka kwaula ku Makedonia.
6 And I shall probably make some stay with you or, perhaps, remain for the winter, so that you may yourselves send me on my way, wherever I may be going.
Panjipa chindame ni ŵanyamwe kwa moŵa kanandi pane chindame katema kose kambepo kuti mpakombole kungamusya mu ulendo wangu kulikose kuchinyaule.
7 I do not propose to pay you a visit in passing now, for I hope to stay with you for some time, if the Lord permits.
Pakuŵa ngangusaka kuonegana ni ŵanyamwe ni kupelenganya. Ngulolela kutama ni ŵanyamwe kwa katema kakajinji Ambuje asakaga.
8 I intend, however, staying at Ephesus till the Festival at the close of the Harvest;
Chindame ku Efeso mpaka lyuŵa lya Pentekosite,
9 for a great opening for active work has presented itself, and there are many opponents.
pakuŵa Ambuje amugulile nnango kupanganya masengo gamakulungwa, namuno kweleko kwana ŵandu achajinji ŵakunganila.
10 If Timothy comes, take care that he has no cause for feeling anxious while he is with you. He is doing the Master’s work no less than I am.
Che Timoseo aikaga kukwenu, nkantendekasya akole lipamba pachatame ni ŵanyamwe, pakuŵa ŵelewo akugapanganya masengo ga Ambuje mpela une.
11 No one, therefore, should slight him. See him safely on his way to me, for I am expecting him with some of our Brothers.
Nipele mundu jwalijose akasannyelusya jwelejo, nambo munkamusye ajendelechele ni ulendo kwa chitendewele kuti apakombole kumujila. Pakuŵa ngwalolela auje pamo ni achalongo ŵane.
12 As for our Brother Apollos, I have often urged him to go to you with the others. He has, however, been very unwilling to do so as yet; but he will go as soon as he finds a good opportunity.
Sambano ngusala yankati ngani ja nlongo njetu che Apolo: Nachondelele kwannope aiche kukwenu pamo ni achalongo ŵane. Nambo ngakusaka kwika kweleko katema kano, nambo chaiche pachachikola lipesa.
13 Be watchful; stand firm in your faith; show yourselves men; be strong.
Nchesye, njime uchenene mu chikulupi, mmeje ŵakulimbila ni mmeje ŵamachili.
14 Let everything you do be done in a loving spirit.
Kila chindu chinkupanganya mpanganyeje kwa unonyelo.
15 I have another request to make of you, Brothers. You remember Stephanas and his household, and that they were the first-fruits gathered in from Greece, and set themselves to serve Christ’s People.
Sambano achalongo achinjangu, nkwamanyilila che Sitefano ni ŵandu ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵelewo ŵalongolele kuŵa Ŵakilisito ku Akaya ko, nipele ŵalityosisye achinsyene kwatumichila ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu. Kwapele achalongo achinjangu ngunchondelela,
16 I want you, on your part, to show deference to such men as these, as well as to every fellow labourer and earnest worker.
mwajitichisye ŵandu mpela ŵelewo ni kila mundu jwakupanganya masengo ni kutumichila pamo nawo.
17 I am glad Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus have come, for they have made up for your absence;
Ngusengwa nnope paikangene che Sitefano ni che Futunata ni che Akaiko, pakuŵa ŵelewo ŵangamuchisye kupanganya masengo agala gamwapanganyaga ŵanyamwe katema kanganimpagwa.
18 they have cheered my heart, and your hearts also. Recognise the worth of such men as these.
Ŵelewo angonjile ntima wangu mpela iŵatite pakujikonga mitima jenu, ŵandu mpela ŵelewo ili yambone kwakumbuchila.
19 The Churches in Roman Asia send you their greetings. Aquila and Prisca and the Church that meets at their house send you many Christian greetings.
Mipingo jose ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Asia jikunkomasya. Che Akila ni che Pilisila pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito waukusongangana mu nyuumba jao, akunkomasya kwa lina lya Ambuje.
20 All our brothers send you greetings. Greet one another with a sacred kiss.
Ni achalongo wose ŵaali pelepa akunkomasya. Nkomasyane kwakulosya unonyelo wa Kilisito.
21 I, Paul, add this greeting in my own handwriting.
Uneji, che Paolo ngunkomasya, ngulemba kwa nkono wangu nansyene.
22 Accursed be any one who has no love for the Lord. THE LORD IS COMING.
Mundu jwalijose jwangasaka kwanonyela Ambuje, jwelejo alwesechekwe! Maranatha malumbo gakwe njise Ambuje ŵetu.
23 May the blessing of the Lord Jesus be with you.
Ngunsachila umbone kutyochela kwa Ambuje Che Yesu.
24 My love to all of you who are in union with Christ Jesus.
Unonyelo wangune uŵe pamo ni mwanyamwe wose ŵanlumbikene ni Kilisito Che Yesu.
