1 Akorinitho 3
1 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndingĩahotire kũmwarĩria ta mũrĩ andũ a kĩĩroho, no ndaamwarĩirie ta mũrĩ andũ a thĩ, o ta twana tũnini thĩinĩ wa Kristũ.
And I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Christ.
2 Ndaamũheire iria, no ti irio nyũmũ ndaamũheire, nĩgũkorwo mũtiakinyĩte a gũcirĩa. Ti-itherũ o na rĩu mũtikinyĩte a gũcirĩa.
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,
3 O na rĩu mũrĩ andũ a thĩ. Kuona atĩ kũrĩ na ũiru na ngũĩ thĩinĩ wanyu-rĩ, githĩ mũtikĩrĩ andũ a thĩ? Githĩ mũtiragĩĩka o ta ũrĩa andũ a ndũire mekaga?
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and living by human standards?
4 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, rĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Paũlũ,” nake ũrĩa ũngĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Apolo,” githĩ mũtikĩrĩ o andũ a ndũire?
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not merely human?
5 Kaĩ Apolo akĩrĩ ũ? Nake Paũlũ akĩrĩ ũ? Acio maarĩ o ndungata, iria ciatũmire mwĩtĩkie, o ta ũrĩa Mwathani aagaĩire o mũndũ wĩra wake.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him.
6 Niĩ nĩ mbeũ ndahaandire, nake Apolo agĩciitĩrĩria maaĩ, no nĩ Ngai watũmire ikũre.
I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ti mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga kana ũrĩa ũitagĩrĩria maaĩ ũrĩ bata, no ũrĩa ũrĩ bata nĩ Ngai, ũrĩa ũtũmaga ikũre.
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.
8 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhaandaga na mũndũ ũrĩa ũitagĩrĩria maaĩ makoragwo na muoroto ũmwe, na o mũndũ akaarĩhwo kũringana na wĩra wake we mwene.
Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 Nĩgũkorwo tũrutithanagia wĩra hamwe na Ngai; na inyuĩ mũrĩ mũgũnda wa Ngai, na mwako wa Ngai.
For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
10 Nĩ ũndũ wa wega ũrĩa Ngai aaheete, niĩ nĩ gwaka ndaakire mũthingi haana ta mwakithia ũrĩa mũũgĩ nake mũndũ ũngĩ nĩ gwaka araaka igũrũ rĩa mũthingi ũcio. No o mũndũ nĩamenyagĩrĩre ũrĩa egwaka igũrũ rĩaguo.
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one be careful how he builds on it.
11 Nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩaka mũthingi ũngĩ tiga ũrĩa ũrĩkĩtie gwakwo, na nĩguo Jesũ Kristũ.
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Angĩkorwo mũndũ o na ũ egwaka igũrũ rĩa mũthingi ũyũ akĩhũthagĩra thahabu, kana betha, kana mahiga ma goro, kana mbaũ, kana nyeki, o na kana rũũa-rĩ,
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;
13 wĩra wake nĩũkoneka ũrĩa ũtariĩ, tondũ Mũthenya ũcio nĩũgaatũma woneke ũtheri-inĩ. Wĩra ũcio ũkaaguũrio na mwaki, nĩgũkorwo wĩra wa o mũndũ nĩũkagerio na mwaki ũcio.
each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
14 Angĩkorwo kĩrĩa mũndũ aakĩte mũthingi-igũrũ nĩgĩgetiiria mwaki ũcio-rĩ, nĩakarĩhwo mũcaara wake.
If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
15 Angĩkorwo nĩũkahĩa-rĩ, nĩakoorwo nĩguo; nowe mwene nĩakahonoka, no akaahonoka ta mũndũ ũgereire mwaki-inĩ.
If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
16 Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtooĩ atĩ inyuĩ ene mũrĩ hekarũ ya Ngai, na atĩ Roho wa Ngai atũũraga thĩinĩ wanyu?
Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?
17 Mũndũ o wothe angĩananga hekarũ ya Ngai-rĩ, Ngai nĩakamwananga; nĩgũkorwo hekarũ ya Ngai nĩ theru, na nĩ inyuĩ hekarũ ĩyo.
If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
18 Mũtikae kwĩheenia. Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ thĩinĩ wanyu angĩkorwo nĩeciiragia nĩ mũũgĩ na ũũgĩ wa mahinda maya tũrĩ-rĩ, nĩagĩtuĩke “kĩrimũ” nĩguo atuĩke mũũgĩ. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Nĩgũkorwo ũũgĩ wa thĩ ĩno nĩ ũrimũ maitho-inĩ ma Ngai. O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Nĩanyiitaga arĩa oogĩ waara-inĩ wao”;
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He traps the wise in their craftiness."
20 o na ningĩ nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩoĩ atĩ meciiria ma arĩa oogĩ nĩ ma tũhũ.”
And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakae kwĩraha na ũhoro wa andũ! Maũndũ mothe nĩ manyu,
Therefore let no one boast about people. For all things are yours,
22 kana nĩ Paũlũ, kana nĩ Apolo, kana nĩ Kefa, kana nĩ thĩ ĩno, kana nĩ muoyo, kana nĩ gĩkuũ, kana nĩ maũndũ marĩa marĩ ho rĩu, kana nĩ maũndũ marĩa magooka, mothe nĩ manyu,
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
23 na inyuĩ mũrĩ a Kristũ, nake Kristũ nĩ wa Ngai.
and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
