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.
Cakubinga mobanse bame, ndiya kwamba nenjamwe mbuli bantu bakute Mushimu Uswepa, nsombi pakwamba nenjamwe, ndalikumuboneti bantu bakumubili, nambi batwanike muli Klistu.
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.
Ndalamupa mukupa wakunwa, nteco cakulya cayuma yuma sobwe, pakwinga mwalikamutana mushika pacimo cakulya, nambi pacino cindi nkamuna mushika pacimo cakulya cayuma yuma.
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?
Pakwinga bwikalo bwenu bulyeti bwikalo bwabantu bamucishi capanshi, neco pakati penu pali munyono ne kutanyumfwana, sena ici nkacilaleshengeti bwikalo bwenu bucili bwikalo bwa bantu bapa cishi capanshi, kayi mucikonkela bwikalo bwa bantu bamucishi capanshi?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
Amwe mukute kwambeti, “Mulakonkelenga Paulo,” Banenu bakute kwambeti, “Balakonkelenga Apolo,” Sena mwapusana ne bantu bulyo?
5 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
Inga Apolo niyani? Paulo niyani? Twense tobasebenshi ba Lesa balamubonesha nshila ya kushoma muli Yesu Klistu. Uliyense lasebensenga ncito Mwami njalamupa.
6 I have planted, Apollos watered: but God hath given the increase.
Ame ndalabyala mbuto isho nshaletilila menshi Apolo, nsombi Lesa ewalashikulisha.
7 So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.
Mulabono kwambeti shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi paliya ncobabelepo, nsombi Lesa eukute kushikulisha.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.
Neco paliya kupusana pakati pali shikubyala ne shikwitilila menshi, pakwinga Lesa nakape cilambo muntu uliyense kwelana nencito njalikwinsa.
9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
Afwe tobasebenshi ba Lesa, amwe njamwe libala lyakendi, kayi njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa.
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.
Kupitila munkumbo nshalampa Lesa, ame pakuba shikwibaka wabuya ndalemba ne kubamba cena pakwibaka kwambeti naumbi muntu aibakepo, nsombi uliyense acenjele mwalebakilinga.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Pakwinga paliya muntu wela kutala ne kwimba lulindi pambi, kushiya apo patalwa kendi, apo patalwa ni Yesu Klistu.
12 Now if any man buildeth upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Palulindi apo patalwa muntu ngawibakapo ne mabwe a golide nambi asilifa nambi mabwe abeka beka nambi bitondo nambi mwila nambi ne matete.
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.
Nomba pabusuba bwakwisa Klistu, incito sha muntu uliyense nishikabonekele, pabusuba ubo mulilo nukayubulule incito isho patuba tuu! Uwo mulilo nukelekeshe mushobo wa ncito shamuntu uliyense.
14 If any man's work abideth which he hath built upon it, he shall receive a reward.
Na incito sha muntu shikabule kupya ne mulilo, uyo walebakapo nakapewe cilambo.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he will suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
Lino na incito sha muntu shikapye ne mulilo okwambeti nendi nakataikilwe byonse, nomba kupuluka kwa muntuyu nikukabeti layokolwa mumulilo.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Sena nkamucishi kwambeti njamwe ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi Mushimu wakendi ukute kwikala mulijamwe?
17 If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
Neco na muntu wononga ng'anda, ya Lesa nendi Lesa, nakamononge muntuyo, pakwinga ng'anda ya Lesa yaswepa kayi ng'andeyo njamwe.
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)
Kamutalibepanga, napali muntu lalibonongeti ukute mano mubwikalo bwa pano pacishi capanshi, kabani muluya, kwambeti abe wamano ancine ncine. (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.
Kuli Lesa, mano apano pacishi capanshi nabulyo, pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, “Lesa ukute kubekata bamano mubumaluku bwabo.”
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Kayi Mabala alambangeti, “Mwami ucinsheti manjeyaulwa abantu bamano nabulyo.”
21 Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours:
Neco muntu katalitunta pacebo ca bantu banendi, pakwinga bintu byonse nibyenu.
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Nambi Paulo nambi Apolo nambi Petulo nambi cishi capanshici ne buyumi nambi lufu nambi bintu bilipo lelo kayi ne bintu byeti bikese kuntangu byonse nibyenu.
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
Nomba nenjamwe mobakendi Klistu, nendi Klistu niwa Lesa.
