1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Paulo, unu abhilikilwaga na Kristo Yesu kubha mutumwa owe lyenda lya Nyamuanga, na Sosthene muili weswe,
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called holy ones, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:
kwi kanisa lya Nyamuanga linu lili Korintho, kubhanu bhauhye ku Yesu Kristo, bhanu bhabhilikiwe kubha bhanu bhelu. Echibhandikila bhona bhanu abhalikusha lisina lya Lata Bugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo mbala jona, Latabhugenyi webhwe neswe.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Echigongo no mulembe gubhe kwemwe okusoka ku Nyamuanga lata weswe na ku Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua,
Nsiku jona enimusima Nyamuanga wani ingulu yemwe, kwainsonga ye chigongo cha Nyamuanga unu Kristo Yesu abhayanile.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Abhakolele kubha bhanibhi ku bhuli njila, kunyaika amwi no bhwengeso bhwona.
6 even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you—
Abhakolele kubha bhanibhi, lwakutyo obhubhambasi ingulu ya Kristo kutyo obhwolesha echimali agati yemwe.
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
Kulwejo mutakulebhelelwa amabhando ga mumioyo, lwakutyo muli ne lyenda lyo kulinda obhusuluko bhwa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Kabhasimbagilisha emwe okukinga kubhutelo, koleleki musige kubha ne solo kulusiku lwa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.
Nyamuanga ni mulengelesi unu abhabhilikiye emwe kubhusangisi bhwo Mwana wae, Yesu Kristo Latabhugenyi weswe.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions amongst you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgement.
Woli enibhasabhwa abhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, okulabhila kwisina lya Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, koleleki bhona mwikilishe, na kutabhamo kwaulana agati yemwe. Enibhasabhwa mugwatane amwi mu kwiganilisha no kulwaja kumwi.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions amongst you.
Kulwokubha abhanu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhabwiliye bhulimo obhwaulani bhunu obhugendelela amwi mwimwe.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Kefa,” and, “I follow Messiah.”
Nina insonga inu: Bhuli umwi kwimwe kaikati, “Anye nili wa Paulo, “amwi “Anye liwa Apolo,”amwi ati, Anye nili wa Kefa” amwi ati, Anye nili wa Kristo”.
13 Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
Angu! Kristo agabhanyikene? Angu! Paulo abhambilwe kulwainjuno yemwe? Angu! mwabhatijibhwe kwi Sina lya Paulo?
14 I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Enimusima Nyamuanga kulwokubha nitamubhatijishe wona wona, tali Krispo na Gayo.
15 so that no one should say that I had immersed you into my own name.
Jinu jabhee kutya atalio wona wona unu akaikile ati mwabhatijibhwe kwi sina lyani.
16 (I also immersed the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I immersed any other.)
(Nalindi nabhatijishe abhamunyumba ya Stephania. Okukila awo, ntakumenyati nabhatijishe munu undi wona wona).
17 For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to proclaim the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Messiah wouldn’t be made void.
Kulwokubha, Kristo atantumile kubhatija tali okulasha emisango jo bhwana. Atantumile okulasha kwe misango kwo bhwengeso bhwe chinyamubhili, koleleki amanaga go musalabha gwa Kristo gusige kusosibhwao.
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.
Kulwokubha omusango gwo musalabha ni bhumumu ku bhanu abhafwa. Nawe kubhanu Nyamuanga kakisha, ni managa ga Nyamuanga.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Kulwokubha Jandikilwe, “Eninyamula obhwengeso bhwa bhobhwenge. Eninyamula obhwiganilisha bhwa abhobhwenge.”
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)
Alyaki omunu wo bhwengeso? Alyaki omunu wo bhwenge? Alyaki omwaiki no mukongya we chalo chinu? Angu, Nyamuanga atainduye obhwengeso bhwa insi inu kubha bhumumu? (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 proclaiming to save those who believe.
Okwambila insi inu nibha nobhwengeso bhwayo itamumenyele Nyamuanga, jabhee ja bhwana ku Nyamuanga kubhumumu bhwebhwe obhwokulasha koleleki okuchungula bhanu abhekilisha.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Ku Bhayahudi abhabhusha ebhijejekanyo bhye bhilugusho na Abhayunani abhayenja obhwengeso.
23 but we proclaim Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Nawe echimulasha Kristo unu abhambilwe, unu ali chikujulo ku Bhayaudi na nibhumumu ku Bhayunani.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Nawe kubhanu bhabhilikiwe na Nyamuanga, Abhayaudi na Bhayunani, echimulasha Kristo lwa amanaga no bhwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Kulwokubha obhumumu bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli no bhwengeso okukila obhwomwana munu, no bhulenga bhwa Nyamuanga bhuli na managa okukila obhwomwana munu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Lola okubhilikila kwa Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu. Jitali ati agati yemwe yaliga muli bhengeso mu bhana bhanu. Jitalyati aliga muna amanaga. Jitalyati mwebhuhye mu bhukulu.
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.
Nawe Nyamuanga asolele ebhinu ebhimumu ebyakuchalo kunu okubhiswasha ebhyo bwengeso. Nyamuanga asolele chinu chaliga chili chilenga ochiswasha echamanaga.
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,
Nyamuanga asolele chinu chaliga chili chemwalo na chinu chagahyaga kuchalo kunu. Asolele nebhinu bhinu bhitabhalwagwa kubha na chibhalo, kwo kubhikola kubhulwa chibhalo ebhinu bhinu bhyaliga bhili ne chibhalo.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Akolele kutyo asige kubhao wona wona unu kekuya imbele yae.
30 Because of him, you are in Messiah Yeshua, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Kulwa insonga ya chinu Nyamuanga akolele, woli muli munda ya Kristo Yesu, unu akolelwe kubha mwengeso ingulu yeswe okusoka ku Nyamuanga. Aliga ali chimali cheswe, obhwelu no bhuchungusi.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Lwakutyo, lwakutyo amandiko agaika, “Unu kekuya, asige okwikuya ku Latabhugenyi.”
