1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Paulo ywakemilwe ni Kristo pangika Mtume kwa mapenzi ga Nnongo, ni Sosthene nnuna witu.
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
Kwa likanisa lya Nnongo lyalibile Korintho, kwa balo ambabo babekilwe wakfu mu Yesu Kristo, babakemilwe panga bandu atakatifu twaandikya kae balo boti babakema lina lya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo mahali palo, Ngwana wabe ni witu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema na amani ibe kwinu buka kwa Nnongo tate bitu ni Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Masoba gote nimsukuru Nnongo wango kwa ajili yinu, kwa sababu ya neema ya Nnongo ywabile awapeile Yesu Kristo.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Abapangite kuwa matajiri mu'kila ndela, katika longela pamope maarifa gake.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Abapangite matajiri, kati ushuhuda kuhusu Kristo wautithibitisha kuwa kweli nkati yinu.
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwa eyo ipungwa kwaa karama ya kiroho, kati samubile na kilulu so kuulinda ufunuo wa Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Alowa kumwimarisha mwenga mpaka mwisho, ili kana mukaumilwe lisoba lya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Nnongo ni mwaminifu ywabile abakemile mwenga mu'ushirika wa mwana wake, Yesu Kristo Ngwana witu.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Nambeambe niasihi mwainja ni numbwango, pitya lina lya Ngwana witu Yesu Kristo, panga mwabote muyikityange, ni panga kana kube ni banganika nkati yinu. Niasihi muungane pamope mu'nia jimo.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
Mana bandu ba nyumba ya Kloe batumakiye kuwa kubile ni banganika nkati yinu.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Nibile na mana yee: Kila yumo abaya “nenga na ywaa Paulo”, au “nenga ni ywaa Apolo,” au nenga nI ba Kefa” au “nenga ni wa Kristo.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Je! Kristo atebanganika? Je Paulo atisulubilwa kwaajili yinu? Je! mwatibatizwa kwa lina lya Paulo?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Nenda kumshukuru Nnongo kuwa nimbatiliza kwaa yeyete, ila Krispo ni Gayo.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Yee yabile panga ntopo ywoywoti aweza baya mwabatizwa kwa lina lyango.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
(Pia natekuabatiza ba nyumba ya Sephania. Zaidi ya palo, nitangite kwaa kati nambatiza mundu ywenge yeyote).
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
Kwa kuwa, Kristo antumile kwaa batiza ila ubili injili. Antumile longela kwa maneno ga ekima ya kimundu, ili panga ngupu ya msalaba wa Kristo kana ubuke.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Kwa kuwa ujumbe wa msalaba ni upuuzi kwa balo batiwaa. Lakini kwa balo ambabo Nnongo atikwalopwa, ni ngupu ya Nnongo.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Kwa kuwa iandikilwe, “Nalowa kuiharibu hekima ya ywabile ni busara. Nalowa kuuharibu ufahamu wa babile ni malango.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Abile kwako mundu ywabile ni busara? ywabile kwako ywabile ni elimu? ywabile kwako ywabaya nga mshawishi wa dunia yee? Je Nnongo aigalambwile kwaa hekima ya dunia yee no pangika ulalo? (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Buka dunia ipangika mu'hekima yake intangite kwaa Nnongo, impendeza kwaa Nnongo mu'ulalo wabe wa hubiri ili kubalopwa balo baaminiya.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Kwa Ayahudi kulokiya ishara ya miujiza ni kwa Ayunani upala hekima.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Lakini tumuhubiri Kristo ywaatisulubilwa, ywabile kikwazo kwa Ayahudi na nga ulalo kwa Ayunani.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Lakini kwa balo babakemile ni Nnongo, Ayahudi ni Ayunani, twamuhubiri Kristo kati ngupu ni hekima ya Nnongo.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Kwa kuwa ulalo wa Nnongo wabile ni hekima kuliko ya bandu, ni udhaifu wa Nnongo wabile ni ngupu kuliko ya bandu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Lola wito wa Nnongo nnani yinu, ainja ni nnumbwa ngo. Ni baingi kwaa nkati yinu mwabile ni hekima mu'viwango vya bandu. Ni baingi kwa nkati yinu mwabile ni ngupu. baingi kwaa nkati yinu mubelekwi mu ukolo.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
Lakini Nnongo asawile ile ya kilalo ya dunia ili kwiaibisha yabile ni hekima. Nnongo asawile sa'kinyatike mu'dunia kukiabisha sa kibile ni ngupu.
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
Nnongo asawile chelo cha hali ya pae ni chabile chakisalaulilwe mu'dunia. Asawile ata ilebe ambayo yabalangilwe kwaa pangika ilebe, kwa kuipanga ilebe kwaa yabile ni yhamani.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Apangite nyoo ili kana abe yeyote ywabile ni sababu ya kuipunia nnonge yake.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Kwa sababu ya chelo chaakipangite Nnongo, nambeambe mubile nkati ya Kristo Yesu, ywabile apangike hekima kwa ajili yinu kuoma kwa Nnongo. Abile nga haki yitu, utakatifu ni ukombozi.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Kati matokeo, kati liandiko lyatibaya, “Ywaisipu, aisipu mu'Nngwana.”
