1 Ndị Kọrint 3
1 Ụmụnna m, o siiri m ike ịgwa unu okwu dịka a ga-asị na unu bụ ndị tozuru etozu nʼime Mmụọ, kama agwara m unu okwu dịka ndị anụ ahụ ha na-achị, ndị bụ ụmụntakịrị nʼime Kraịst.
And I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Christ.
2 Ejighị m nri siri ike na-azụ unu, kama eji m mmiri ara na-azụ unu, nʼihi na unu apụghị iri nri dị ike. Nʼezie, ọ bụladị ugbu a, unu erubeghị iri nri siri ike.
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you weren't yet ready. And even now you are still not ready,
3 Nʼihi na unu na-adị ndụ dịka ndị bi nʼụwa, ebe ọ bụ na ekworo na esemokwu na-adị nʼetiti unu, nke a o zipụtaghị na unu na-eme dịka ndị ụwa, dịka ndị mmadụ efu nọ nʼụwa.
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 Nʼihi na mgbe otu onye na-asị, “Abụ m nke Pọl,” onye ọzọ na-asịkwa, “Abụ m nke Apọlọs,” o gosighị na unu na-akpa agwa dịka ndị bi nʼụwa?
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not merely human?
5 Onye bụ Apọlọs? Onye bụ Pọl? Ọ bụ na anyị abụghị ndị na-eje ozi, ndị wetaara unu oziọma unu kweere nʼime ya. Ọrụ dị iche iche anyị rụrụ bụkwa nke anyị rụrụ dịka Onyenwe anyị si kenye anyị ọrụ ahụ.
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him.
6 Ọ bụ m kụrụ mkpụrụ ahụ, Apọlọs bụkwa onye gbara mkpụrụ ahụ mmiri, maọbụ Chineke mere ka o too.
I planted. Apollos watered. But God made it grow.
7 Onye kụrụ mkpụrụ ahụ na onye gbara mkpụrụ ahụ mmiri adịghị mkpa. Ọ bụ Chineke onye mere ka ha too dị mkpa.
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who makes it grow.
8 O nweghị ihe dị iche nʼetiti mụ bụ onye kụrụ mkpụrụ ahụ na Apọlọs onye gbara mkpụrụ ahụ mmiri. Ọ bụ otu ihe ahụ ka anyị bu nʼobi. Onye ọbụla ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ ya.
Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 Anyị so Chineke na-arụ ọrụ. Unu onwe unu bụkwanụ ubi Chineke bụrụkwa ụlọ ya a na-ewuli elu.
For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
10 Eji m onyinye amara Chineke nyere m tọọ ntọala ọrụ a, dịka ezi onye ọka nʼiwu ụlọ, onye ọzọ amalitela iwukwasị ụlọ nʼelu ntọala ahụ. Ma ka onye ọbụla kpachapụ anya otu o si ewu.
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 O nweghị onye ọzọ pụrụ ịtọ ntọala karịrị ntọala ahụ e bururị ụzọ tọọ. Jisọs Kraịst bụkwa ntọala ahụ.
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Ma ọ bụrụ na mmadụ ọbụla na-eji ọlaedo maọbụ ọlaọcha, ma ọ bụkwanụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa, osisi maọbụ okporo ọka, ma ọ bụkwanụ ahịhịa na-ewukwasị nʼelu ntọala ahụ,
But if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw;
13 ọrụ onye ọbụla ga-egosipụta ihe ọ bụ, nʼihi na Ụbọchị ahụ ga-eme ka ọ pụta ìhè. A ga-eji ọkụ kpughee ya nʼihi na ọ bụ ọkụ ka a ga-eji nwapụta ụdị ọrụ ọ bụ mmadụ ọbụla rụrụ.
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 Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ eruchapụghị ihe ọbụla mmadụ ji wuo ụlọ ya nʼelu ntọala ahụ, onye ahụ ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ.
If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
15 Ma ọ bụrụ na ọkụ erechapụ ihe ọbụla mmadụ ji rụọ ọrụ ya, ọrụ ọ rụrụ ga-ala nʼiyi, ma a ga-azọpụta onye ahụ, ma ọ ga-adị ka a ga-asị na e si nʼụlọ na-ere ọkụ zọpụta ya.
If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
16 Ọ bụ na unu aghọtaghị na unu bụ ụlọnsọ na Mmụọ Nsọ Chineke bi nʼime unu?
Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?
17 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla emebie ụlọnsọ Chineke, Chineke ga-emebikwa onye ahụ. Nʼihi na ụlọ Chineke bụ ụlọ dị nsọ, unu bụkwa ụlọ ahụ.
If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
18 Ka onye o bụla ghara ịghọgbu onwe ya, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla nʼime unu na-eche nʼobi ya na ya bụ onye maara ihe, dịka ihe ọmụma nke ụwa si dị, ọ ga-akara onye ahụ mma ime onwe ya onye nzuzu, ka o nwe ike bụrụ onye maara ihe. (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 Nʼihi na ihe ahụ ụwa na-eche na ọ bụ ezi ịma ihe bụ nzuzu nʼanya Chineke. Nʼihi na e dere ya, “Ọ na-ejide ndị oke amamihe nʼaghụghọ ha niile.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He traps the wise in their craftiness."
20 Ọzọkwa, “Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ, mara na amamihe ya bụ ihe efu.”
And again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile."
21 Nʼihi nke a, ka onye ọbụla ghara ịnya isi banyere mmadụ. Ihe niile bụ nke gị.
Therefore let no one boast about people. For all things are yours,
22 Ma ọ bụ Pọl, maọbụ Apọlọs, maọbụ Sefas, maọbụ ụwa a, maọbụ ndụ, maọbụ ọnwụ, maọbụ ihe dị taa na ihe niile ga-adị nʼoge dị nʼihu, ha bụ nke unu.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
23 Unu bụkwa nke Kraịst, Kraịst bụkwa nke Chineke.
and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
