1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, [even] as to babes in Christ.
Achalongo achinjangu, uneji nganiŵecheta nomwe mpela ŵandu ŵakulongoswa ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu nambo naŵechete ni ŵanyamwe mpela ŵandu ŵa pachilambo pa nti twanache mu kwakulupilila Kilisito.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
Nang'wesisye maŵele, ngaŵa yakulya yakulimba, pakuŵa nganinkombola kulya, namose sambano ngankupakombola kulya.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Pakuŵa ŵanyamwe chiŵela nkutama mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo yakuti pakutama. Uli pasikati jenu nganiupagwa wiu ni utinda? Yele yose ikulosya kuti ŵanyamwe chiŵela nli ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino, ni ŵanyamwe nkutama mpela chilambo ichikuti pakusaka.
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Jumo jwenu pakuti, “Une ngwakuya che Paolo,” ni jwine asalaga, “Une ngwakuya che Apolo,” uli ngankutenda mpela ŵandu ŵa pa chilambo yakuti pakutenda?
5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
Ana che Apolo ali ŵaani? Ni che Paolo ali ŵaani? Uweji tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu utukunnyichisya chikulupi. Jwalijose apanganyisye masengo gapegwilwe ni Ambuje.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered: but God hath given the increase.
Une napandile mbeju ni che Apolo ŵajitilile meesi nambo Akunnungu ni uŵajimelesye.
7 So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.
Nambo ŵapandile ngaŵa chindu sooni ŵajitilile meesi ngaŵa chindu nambo Akunnungu pe ŵaŵajimelesye mbeju ali jwankulu.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
Mundu juŵapandile ni juŵajitilile meesi wose ali yalumo ni Akunnungu chachimpa jwalijose mbote jakwe malinga ni masengo gakwe gapangenye.
9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
Pakuŵa uwe wose tuli achikatumetume ŵa Akunnungu, ŵanyamwe nli ngunda wa Akunnungu, iyoyo nli nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth upon it. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon it.
Kwa ligongo lya umbone wa Akunnungu ambele masengo, misile nsingi mpela jwakutaŵa jwambone yakuti kukolosya, ni mundu jwine akutaŵa pachanya pakwe. Nambo jwalijose jwakutaŵa alilolechesye yakuti pakutaŵa pachanya pakwe.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu jwakupakombola kuŵika nsingi wine kupunda aula wemale kuŵichikwa, yaani Che Yesu Kilisito.
12 Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Pachanya nsingi wo mundu akukombola kutaŵa kwa sahabu pane kwa feza pane kwa maganga ga ntengo wekulungwa pane kwa itela pane kwa manyasi pane kwa masamba.
13 Every man's work will be made manifest: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try every man's work, of what sort it is.
Usalale wa masengo ga mundu jwalijose chiuwoneche ni kuŵichikwa pangasisika, pa lyuŵa litaiche Kilisito kukwalamula ŵandu. Pakuŵa pa lyuŵa lyo, mooto chiuunukule masengo ga kila mundu ni wele mooto chiulinje umbone wa masengo ga mundu jwalijose ni kulosya iŵaga gali gakusalala.
14 If any man's work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward.
Iŵaga chataŵile mundu pachanya pa nsingi wo ngachipya kwa mooto wo, mundu jo chapochele ntulilo.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he will suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Iŵaga chataŵile cho chichipye, nipele mundu jo ngaapata ntulilo wao, nambo nsyene jo chakulupuswe mpela ila apokweche pa mooto.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Ana ngankumanyilila kuti ŵanyamwe nli Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kuti Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akutama nkati mwenu?
17 If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
Nipele naga mundu akujijonanga Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nombe Akunnungu chanjonanje mundu jo. Pakuŵa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jili jeswela, ni ŵanyamwe nli Nyuumba jo.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Mundu jwalijose akalilambusya nsyene, iŵaga mundu mwa ŵanyamwe akuliganisya kuti ali ni lunda lwa chilambo chino, mbaya aŵeje jwakuloŵela kuti akole ni lunda lusyene. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Pakuŵa lunda lwa chilambo chino luli uloŵelo paujo pa Akunnungu pakuŵa ilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Akunnungu akwatanjisya ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda mu ukalamuche wao.”
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Ni sooni ilembekwe Mmalembelo Gamaswela, “Ambuje akusimanyilila nganisyo sya ŵandu ŵaali ni lunda lwa pachilambo kuti syangali chindu.”
21 Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours:
Pele mundu jwalijose ngasalilapila ŵandu. Pakuŵa indu yose ili yenu ŵanyamwe.
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Aŵaga che Paolo pane che Apolo pane che Kefa pane chilambo pane umi pane chiwa pane katema ka sambano pane katema kakakwika, yoseyo ili yenu ŵanyamwe,
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
ni ŵanyamwe nli ŵandu ŵa Kilisito ni Kilisito ali ŵa Akunnungu.
