Korintotɔwo 1 3

1 Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃tɔwo, nyemete ŋu ƒo nu na mi abe ame siwo tsi le Gbɔgbɔ me ene o, ke boŋ abe vidzĩwo, ame siwo mede ŋgɔ le kristotɔnyenye ƒe agbenɔnɔ me o eye wogale agbe le ŋutilã me abe ame siwo menye kristotɔwo o ene.

Now, I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly men, even as to babes in Christ.

2 Le esia ta nyemate ŋu ana nuɖuɖu sesẽ mi be miaɖu o, ke boŋ notsi ko mana mi elabena miaƒe dɔgbowo metsi atu nuɖuɖu sesẽ o. Va se ɖe fifia hã la, notsi ko wòle be mianɔ nonom

Milk I gave you--not meat; for you were not then able to receive it: nay, neither yet now are you able, because you are still fleshly.

3 elabena va se ɖe fifi hã la, miegale ko abe ɖeviwo ene le kristotɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ me. Nu sia nu si dze mia ŋu lae miewɔna, ke menye ɖe Mawu ƒe didi dzi o. Nu si tututu fia be mieganye ɖeviwo ko lae nye ale si miema ɖe hatsotso vovovowo me, eye dzre, ŋuʋaʋã kple liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ sɔŋ xɔ aƒe ɖe mia me. Le nyateƒe me la, miaƒe nuwɔnawo dze ko abe ame siwo menya Aƒetɔ la kura o la tɔ ene.

For, whereas, among you, envying, and strife, and divisions subsist; are you not fleshly, and walk after the manner of men?

4 Mikpɔ ɖa, mia dometɔ aɖewo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Míawoe nye Paulo ƒe amewo,” bubuwo hã be, “Míawoe nye Apolo yomedzelawo,” ke ɖe miaƒe nuwɔna sia mesɔ kple ŋutilãmenɔnɔ tɔ oa?

Besides, while one says, I, indeed, am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos, are you not fleshly?

5 Ke ame ka tututue nye Apolo alo nye Paulo ŋutɔ, be mianɔ dzre wɔm ɖe mía ta? Mawu ƒe dɔla maɖinu siwo wòna ŋutete tɔxɛ aɖewo ko míenye eye to míaƒe dɔwɔwɔwo me la, miexɔ Mawu dzi se.

For who is Paul, and who is Apollos; but ministers, by whom you have believed, even as the Lord has given to each?

6 Dɔ si Mawu de asi nam koe nye be mado nuku la ɖe miaƒe dziwo me, eye Apolo hã ƒe dɔe nye be wòade tsi nukuawo. Ke Mawu ŋutɔe na be nukuawo tsi, eye wotse ku le miaƒe dziwo me.

I have planted, Apollos has watered; but God has made to grow.

7 Nukudola kple ame si de tsi nukuawo la ƒe dɔ mele vevie abe Mawu, ame si na be nukuawo tsi la tɔ ene o.

So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God, who makes to grow.

8 Nye kple Apolo la, dɔ ɖeka ma ke ko wɔm míele. Taɖodzinu ɖeka koe le mía si, ke Mawu axe fe na mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe le ale si wòdo vevi ɖe eƒe dɔ ŋu la nu.

However, the planter and the waterer are one, and each shall receive his proper reward, according to his proper labor.

9 Mawu ƒe hadɔwɔlawo ko míenye, ke miawoe nye Mawu ƒe agble kple eƒe xɔ si wòtu, menye nye kple Apolo tɔwoe mienye o.

Wherefore, we are joint laborers, employed by God. You are God's field; you are God's building.

10 Le Mawu ƒe amenuveve si wònam ta la, meɖo gɔmeɖokpe abe xɔtula aɖaŋutɔ ene, eye ame bubu va le etum ɖe edzi. Ke ele na ame sia ame be wòakpɔ nyuie tso ale si wòtui la ŋuti.

According to the favor of God, which is given to me as a skillful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let every one take heed how he builds on it.

11 Elabena ame aɖeke mate ŋu aɖo gɔmeɖokpe bubu aɖeke anyi si to vovo tso esi li xoxo, si nye Yesu Kristo la gbɔ o.

For other foundation no one can lay, except what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Gake xɔtunu vovovowo li si woate ŋu atsɔ atu xɔe ɖe gɔmeɖokpe la dzi. Ame aɖewo tua xɔ kple sika, klosalo alo kpe xɔasi bubuwo, ame bubuwo hã tsɔa ati, aƒla alo be gɔ̃ hã tua xɔe.

Now if any one build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 Ke ele be ame sia ame naɖo ŋku edzi be ne Kristo ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃ŋkeke la ɖo edzi la, woado xɔtunu vovovoawo kpɔ. Woatsɔ dzo ado ame sia ame ƒe dɔwɔna kpɔ, akpɔe ɖa be eƒe dɔ la anɔ te mahã?

every one's work shall be made manifest: for the say will make it plain, because it is revealed by fire; and so the fire will try every one's work, of what sort it is.

14 Ame siwo ƒe dɔ mefia le dzo me o la axɔ woƒe fetu.

If the work of any one remain, which he has built upon the foundation: he shall receive a reward.

15 Ke ne ame aɖe ƒe xɔ fia le dzoa me la ekema ebu nu gã aɖe gake woaɖe eya ŋutɔ abe ame si woɖe le dzo bibi me ene.

If the work of any one shall be burnt, he will suffer loss: himself, however, shall be saved, yet so as through a fire.

16 Ɖe mienyae be Mawu ƒe xɔe mienye, eye Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ le mia me oa?

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells among you?

17 Ne ame aɖe ke atse do ŋunyɔ, eye wògblẽ Mawu ƒe aƒe sia la, Mawu hã atsrɔ̃ ame ma enumake, elabena Mawu ƒe aƒe la nye teƒe kɔkɔe si me ɖiƒoƒo aɖeke mele o eye miawo tututu nye aƒe sia.

If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

18 Mikpɔ nyuie be miaganɔ mia ɖokuiwo flum o. Ne mia dometɔ aɖe bu be yenyaa nu ŋutɔ le amewo ƒe nukpɔkpɔ nu la, ekema ele be wòawɔ eɖokui bometsilae hafi ate ŋu anye nunyala vavãtɔ tso dziƒo. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you think to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 Elabena xexe sia me ƒe nunyawo katã nye bometsitsi le Mawu ƒe ŋkume. Abe ale si woŋlɔ ɖe Hiob ƒe agbalẽ me ene be, “Elé nunyalawo le woƒe ayemenuwɔwɔwo me.”

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He entangled the wise in their own craftiness."

20 Wogagblɔe na mí le Psalmowo ƒe agbalẽ hã me be, “Aƒetɔ la nya be nunyalawo ƒe susuwo katã le wodzoe abe ɖetifu ko ene.”

And again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain."

21 Eya ta nɔviwo, miganɔ dadam ɖe amegbetɔ dzi o! Nuwo katã nye mia tɔ,

Wherefore, let no man boast in men; for all things are yours:

22 eɖanye Paulo loo, alo Apolo o, Kefa, xexe sia me agbe, ku, egbeŋkeke alo etsɔ si gbɔna o, wo katã nye mia tɔ,

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come--all are yours;

23 eye mienye Kristo tɔ, ale Kristo hã nye Mawu tɔ.

and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
