1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through 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 which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs 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 [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende nuupolo utule kung'waanyu kupuma kung'wi Tunda utata witu nu Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Mahiku ehi numusongeeye Itunda nuane kunsoko anyu, kunsoko aukende wang'wi Tunda nu Yesu Kilisto awapee.
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
Watendile kutula agole kukila nzila, muutambu mpalung'wi nimahala ehi.
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Watendile agole, anga uwikengwi kukiila kung'wa Kilisto kina ugombilwe kutai mumo mitalanyu.
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Kuite gwa shamukuhielwa uupegwe yakenkolo, anga nimukete insula nakulindiila ukunukuilwe nua Mukulu witu u Yesu Kilisto.
8 Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in 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 ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Itunda shawikalika naumitangile unye muupalung'wi nuang'wakwe, u Yesu Mkulu witu.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
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 hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Inge iantu amito nilawa Klowe ambila kina ukole wikani nulongolekile mitalanyu.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of 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 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Itee, Ukilisto utemanukilene? Itee, Upaulo aewagigwe kunsoko anyune? Itea, aemubadisigwe kulina lang'wa Paulone?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Nimusongeeye Itunda kina singa aembadisilya wehi inge Ukilisto du nu Gayo.
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
Iye naeyezetula kina kutile wehi nauzelunga mbadisigwe kulina lane.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
(Aeniabadisilye ga nawaniamilo nilang'wa Stephania. Kukila pang'wanso, singanengile ang'wi aenamubadisa muntu numungiza wehi).
17 For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
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 preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are 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 will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Kunsoko iandekile, “Kubipya ikulyo lao awa niakete kubipya ulingi wao nuamahala.
20 Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (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 when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Kupuma uunkumbigulu nikulyo lakwe shaeumulengile Itunda, aeyemunonee tunda kuupungu wao nuautananti nsoko waagune awa niakuhuela.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
Iayahudi ekolya ilengasiilyo niamakula nukuayunani eduma ikulyo.
23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
Kuite kuumutanantya u Kilisto naeupagekilwe, naekimeli kuayahudi muupungu kuayunani.
24 But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ 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 Because 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 For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:
Gozi uwitangi nuang'wi Tunda kung'waanyu, akaka niadada ane. Singa aemiedu tai naemukete ingulu. Singamiedu tai nemutugilwe muukulu.
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Kuite Itunda ausague imaintu nimapungu namihe nsoko akuhumye iminyala aya nakete ikulyo. Itunda ausague aya nimanegetu nikamihe kukihumya iminyala nikikete ingulu.
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
Itunda ausague iki nikikole pihe nikinikimeilwe munumuhe. Ausague nimaintu nisinga aiaaigwe kina maintu nukimatenda singa kintu imaintu nakete insailo.
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Autendile ite nsoko itule kutile wehi nukete insoko akihumbula ntongeela akwe.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and 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 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Anga wigeeli, anga ulukani nululungile, “nukikulya, wikulye Mumukulu.”
