1 Corinthians 3
1 And as for myself, brethren, I found it impossible to speak to you as spiritual men. It had to be as to worldlings--mere babes in Christ.
Ime miri vayi, me na tre niyi ni na ndi bi ruhu na ama nadi bi nema kpain bi mir ziza ni de kristi.
2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough:
Me noyi mada ra ana hla wu sain mana, bina iri na kio zizan mal rina
3 you are still unspiritual. For so long as jealousy and strife continue among you, can it be denied that you are unspiritual and are living and acting like mere men of the world?
Du zizan 'a bibi n'ma kpa, wa ingu ni do shishi he ni mi suron bi. Du naki bina to bina bi n'ma kpa na? Zirmbi wa indi ba tsra yi to?
4 For when some one says, "I belong to Paul," and another says, "I belong to Apollos," is not this the way men of the world speak?
Din iridi wa tre wawu “ni wu Bulus wawu ni kongon Afollos” naki bina ndi nlege na?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are just God's servants, through whose efforts, and as the Lord granted power to each, you accepted the faith.
Me miya a nah Afollos? Anha Bulus? ana bi waba kuyir ni son mba, wabi kpaye ni ba nawa Irji noba du' na.
6 I planted and Apollos watered; but it was God who was, all the time, giving the increase.
Ime me chu, u Apollos mba a bwa m'maa wu Rji a du ba Rju.
7 So that neither the planter nor the waterer is of any importance. God who gives the increase is all in all.
Naki iwa achu, ke niwa bwa m'ma ba na kpe na. Ama a hi Rji mba ni du gbro.
8 Now in aim and purpose the planter and the waterer are one; and yet each will receive his own special reward, answering to his own special work.
Wa achu niwa a bwa m'ma ba riri, u ko nha ani kpa knima tsra ni du wa a tei.
9 Apollos and I are simply fellow workers for and with God, and you are God's field-- God's building.
Naki wawu mbu k'mir Rji kpukpambi duma wa ki zama ijhuma a tie ta.
10 In discharge of the task which God graciously entrusted to me, I--like a competent master-builder--have laid a foundation, and others are building upon it. But let every one be careful how and what he builds.
Ni alherin Rji wa ba ne, cikake wu meh wa meh zinci harsashi, uri ani meh ni whu me, du naki kowane indi aniya yada imeh ma ni he gyagyer.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation in addition to that which is already laid, namely Jesus Christ.
Ba indi wa ni zinci harsashinma kan niwa ba riga da ziye wato Yesu Almasihu
12 And whether the building which any one is erecting on that foundation be of gold or silver or costly stones, of timber or hay or straw--
Zizan'a indi wa meh nitu har sashi rhi kan, wu zina riya ni wu ozurfa, koni wu titta bi daraja ni kukor, ni ciyawa ni tattaka.
13 the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work-- the fire is the thing which will test it.
du induma ni mlaye wa vyi wu mlaya ni he. Ani wu mlaya ni luwu. iluwu ni shell wu bima wa konha a teir.
14 If any one's work--the building which he has erected--stands the test, he will be rewarded.
Wu indiri wa duma abi, anika zizima.
15 If any one's work is burnt up, he will suffer the loss of it; yet he will himself be rescued, but only, as it were, by passing through the fire.
Toki wu indi wa induma a gonlu wawu aniyi da shaya asara u wawu ni tu ma ani nawo ama da kir.
16 Do you not know that you are God's Sanctuary, and that the Spirit of God has His home within you?
Binato di bi hai kadi u Rji u Ruhu Rji ani son ni kpambi na?
17 If any one is marring the Sanctuary of God, him will God mar; for the Sanctuary of God is holy, which you all are.
Indi wa akpa haikali Rji u Ruhu Rji ti meme Irji game ni kpa ti meme. haikali Rji awu tsraki wukitaa me anaki.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become "foolish" so that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
Du ndio duna gur tuma n, idi wa aya tuma ani wawu kpe, ni son bi wawu, waniya ni wawu a zan konha, di wawu a he ni hikima niton mbu wu zizan du k'ma ti wawu don da zama u hikima. (aiōn g165)
19 This world's wisdom is "foolishness" in God's sight; for it is written, "He snares the wise with their own cunning."
U hikima wu gbugbu'u yi kalacu mu ni Rji naki itre ma ba hna da tre “ani vuu bi hikima ni makircin mba.”
20 And again, "The Lord takes knowledge of the reasonings of the wise--how useless they are."
Har luwa 'Irji to mer bi hikima a wu megye”.
21 Therefore let no one boast about his human teachers.
Tok ni meryi du ndio du na wur who ni indi na duka koge hi wume.
22 For everything belongs to you--be it Paul or Apollos or Peter, the world or life or death, things present or future--everything belongs to you;
Ni Bulus u Apollos, U kefas, u gbu-gblu u rai, u que u kpi wu zizan, u kpi bi ye no ko shishi, wawu ba wu mbi.
23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
U biyi biwu kristi, u kristi hi wu Rji
