1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
Nne a Pauli njemilwe kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, na Bhakilishitu ajangu a Shoshiteneshi ngunakunnjandishilanga,
2 to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both theirs and ours:
mmanganya likanisha lya a Nnungu nninginji ku Kolinto. Nninginji bha ukonjelo nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, nshemilwenje mmanganje bhandu bha a Nnungu pamo na bhandu bhowe bhakwaajuganga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali bhakulungwa bhabhonji na bhetu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu, na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha bhashikumpanganga nema jabho pitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
5 that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,
Pabha, kwa lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu nshishulushilwanga kwa kila shindu. Nshikolanga shikono sha lumanyio lowe na kombola kubheleketa.
6 according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,
Malinga ukong'ondelo gwa a Kilishitu shiushite malila mmitima jenunji,
7 so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
wala nkatubhilwanga shipaji shoshowe, nnilolelanga kubhonekana kwabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
8 who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Bhenebho shibhanshimilikanje mmanganya mpaka kumpelo, nnabhonekanje nshilebhanga lyubha lya kwiya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu lila.
9 faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
A Nnungu bha kulupalika, bhashinkunshemanga mmanganya mmanganje shindu shimo na bhana bhabho a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
10 And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,
Ashaalongo, ngunakunshondelesheyanga kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu kuti, gunkubheleketanga gabhe gamo, kunapagwe kugabhanyika munkumbi gwenunji, ikabhe nkolanje ng'aniyo imo na ndumbililo imo.
11 for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;
Pabha ashaalongo ajangu, njilugulilwa ga ngani jenunji na bhandunji bha ulongo gwa a Koloe kuti, gushipagwa mpwai munkumbi gwenunji.
12 and I say this, that each one of you saith, 'I, indeed, am of Paul' — 'and I of Apollos,' — 'and I of Cephas,' — 'and I of Christ.'
Bhai, shingupinga bheleketa ni sheshino, kila mundu anabheleketa mwakwe. Juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Pauli,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Apolo,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Kepa”, na juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Kilishitu.”
13 Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
Bhuli, a Kilishitu bhashigabhanyika? Bhuli, a Pauli ni bhakomelwe munshalabha kwa ligongo lyenunji? Eu bhuli, mwashinkubhatishwanga kwa lina lya a Pauli?
14 I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha nangammatisha mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji ikabhe a Kilishipashi na a Gayo pe.
15 that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;
Kwa nneyo jwakwa shaabhelekete kuti ashibhatishwa kwa lina lyangu.
16 and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.
Elo, naabhatishenje a Shitepana na bha likaja lyabho, punda bhanganyabho, kwali monaga nammatishe mundu juna.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;
A Kilishitu bhanganduma kubhatisha, ikabhe nunguye Ngani ja Mmbone. Na kwene lunguyako kunakulupalile lunda lwa shigundu, nkupinga kuwa kwa a Kilishitu munshalabha kunapetekuywe.
18 for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,
Pabha ntenga gwa kuwa kwa a Yeshu munshalabha kwa bhaobhanga ni ungumba, ikabheje kwetu uwe tuli muntapulo gwa gwene ntenga go, ni mashili ga a Nnungu.
19 for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'
Pabha ishijandikwa, “Shing'angabhanye lunda lwabhonji, na lumanyio lwa bhaashomanga shinilukane.”
20 where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Bhai, luli kwei lunda lwa bhakwetenje lunda? Bhalinginji kwei bhaajiganya bha shalia ja a Musha? Ali kwei jwa mitau jwa gene mobha gano? A Nnungu bhashikulutenda lunda lwa bhandu bha pashilambolyo ubhelu. (aiōn g165)
21 for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
Pabha kwa lunda lwa a Nnungu, bhandu bhakwetenje lunda bhakakombolanga kwaamanya a Nnungu. Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaatapulanga bhakwaakulupalilanga, kwa shene shibhakushibhonanga bhakwetenje lunda kuti ungumba, yani ntenga gutulunguya
22 Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
Pabha Bhayaudi bhanapinganga ilangulo na Bhagiliki bhanaloleyanga lunda.
23 also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,
Ikabheje uwe tunakwaalunguya a Kilishitu bhapotekwe munshalabha. Ku Bhayaudi ndabhila na kubhandu bha ilambo ina ungumba,
24 and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,
ikabheje kwa bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, a Kilishitu ni mashili na lunda lwa a Nnungu.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
Pabha ubhonekana ungumba gwa a Nnungu ushikola lunda kupunda lwa bhandu, kubhoneka kunyegala kwa a Nnungu, kushikola mashili kupunda mashili ga bhandu.
26 for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
Ashaapwanga, nkumbushilanje mobha gumwashemilwenje na a Nnungu, bhakwetenje lunda bhakashulukenjeje nkali kwa lunda lwa shigundu, bhabhagwinji bhakamanyikenjeje na wala bhakakwetenjeje indu.
27 but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;
Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashinkuiagula indu ya shibhelu, nkupinga bhaapetekuyanje bhakwetenje lunda, na bhashinkuiagula indu ya nyegaywa nkupinga kwaapetekuyanga bhandu bhakwetenje mashili.
28 and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —
A Nnungu bhashinkuagula indu ya nyegala yangali mashili ya pashilambolyo, numbe indu ya nyegala yabhonekaga mbuti ikapaliji, nkupinga bhaipetekuye indu ibhoneka ya mmbone ku bhandunji.
29 that no flesh may glory before Him;
Bhai, jwakwa mundu shaipunile shoshowe kwa a Nnungu.
30 and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
A Nnungu bhayene bhashikunnundanyanga na a Kilishitu Yeshu. A Nnungu bhashikwaatenda a Kilishitu bhabhe lunda lwetu na aki jetu, na pitila bhenebho uwe tunalundana na a Nnungu kubha bhandu bhabho bha ukonjelo, na bhawetenje aki na bhagombolwenje.
31 that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'
Bhai, malinga shiijandikwe, “Apinga kwiipuna, bhai, aipunile liengo lya Bhakulungwa.”
