1 Ndị Kọrint 16
1 Nʼihe niile banyere ụtụ ihe onyinye nke ndị nsọ, gbalịanụ mee dịka m nyere ndị chọọchị dị nʼakụkụ Galeshịa nʼiwu.
Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2 Ụbọchị ụka niile, ka onye ọbụla site nʼihe ọ kpatara nʼizu ụka ahụ wepụta ụfọdụ ihe nke ọ ga-eji nye onyinye a. Unu e cherekwala ịnakọta ihe onyinye ndị a ruo mgbe m ga-abịa. Ka a hapụ iche tutu ruo mgbe m bịara.
On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
3 Mgbe m bịara, aga m edenye ndị ahụ kwesiri ntụkwasị obi, bụ ndị unu họpụtara akwụkwọ nkọwa, ziga ha ibugara ndị nọ na Jerusalem onyinye obiọma unu.
Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4 Ọ bụrụkwa na ọ dị mkpa na m ga-eso ha gaa, mụ na ha ga-esoro.
And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5 Aga m abịa ileta unu mgbe m gasịrị Masidonia. Nʼihi na ana m ezube isi nʼụzọ Masidonia abịa.
After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6 Mgbe m bịara, ọ na-adị m ka mụ na unu ga-anọ ogologo oge. Ma eleghị anya, anyị ga-anọ tutu oge oyi agwụ. Mgbe ahụ site, nʼinyeaka unu, aga m ahapụ unu gaa ebe ọzọ.
Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7 Nʼihi na-achọghị m ileta unu ugbu a m nọ nʼije ngafere. Kama ana m ezube ịbịa nọnyere unu nwa oge, ma ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị e kwenye.
For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8 Ma aga m anọ nʼEfesọs tutu ruo oge Pentikọọsụ,
But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9 nʼihi na-emegheela ọnụ ụzọ dị ukwuu nke na-arụpụta ezi ọrụ nye m, ma ha dị ọtụtụ bụ ndị na-eguzogide m.
because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10 Ọ bụrụ na Timoti abịa, lezienụ anya mee ka ọ ghara inwe ihe ọ ga-atụ egwu mgbe ọ nọ nʼetiti unu, nʼihi na ọ bụ onye na-arụ ọrụ Onyenwe anyị dịka m si arụ ya.
If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
11 Ka onye ọbụla ghara ileda ya anya. Kama, dupunụ ya nʼije ya nʼudo ka o nwe ike lọghachikwute m. Mụ na ụmụnna ndị ọzọ na-ele anya nlọta ya.
No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12 Arịrịọ m nwanne anyị Apọlọs ka o soro ụmụnna ndị ọzọ bịa leta unu, ma ọ bụghị uche ya ma ọlị ịbịakwute unu ugbu a. Ọ ga-abịa mgbe ọbụla ohere pụtara.
Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
13 Na-echenụ nche mgbe niile, guzosienụ ike nʼime okwukwe unu. Dịrịnụ ka ndị tozuru dimkpa, ndị dị ike.
Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
14 Werenụ ịhụnanya na-arụ ọrụ ọbụla unu na-arụ.
Do everything in love.
15 Ugbu a, arịọ m unu ụmụnna m, unu maara na ezinaụlọ Stefanas bụ ndị mbụ kwere ekwe nʼala Akaịa. Ha nyekwara onwe ha maka ijere ndị nsọ ozi.
You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
16 Ana m arịọ unu ka unu na-asọpụrụ ndị dị otu a, nakwa onye ọbụla bụ onye otu anyị na onye ọrụ anyị.
to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17 Obi tọrọ m ụtọ nʼọbịbịa nke Stefanas na Fọtunetus na Akaikọs. Ha emelara m ihe unu gaara emere m, ma a sị na unu nọ nʼebe a.
I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
18 Ha kwalitere mmụọ m dịka ha kwalitere nke unu. Nyenụ ndị dị otu a nsọpụrụ.
For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
19 Ụlọ chọọchị niile dị nʼokpuru Eshịa na-ezitere unu ozi ekele. Akwila na Prisila, na nzukọ dị nʼụlọ ha na-enye unu ekele obiọma nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
20 Ụmụnna niile nọ nʼebe a na-ekele unu. Werenụ isurita ọnụ dị nsọ kelerịta onwe unu.
All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 Ọ bụ mụ onwe m bụ Pọl ji aka m na-ede ekele nke a.
This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
22 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla ahụghị Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, ka ọ bụrụ onye a bụrụ ọnụ. Onyenwe anyị bịa!
If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
23 Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs dịnyere unu.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24 Ka ịhụnanya m dịnyere unu niile site nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst. Amen.
My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
