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, my Brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual persons, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah.
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 gave you milk, and did not give you solid food: for ye were not then able to receive it; and even now, ye are not able.
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 ye are still in the flesh. For, as there are among you envying, and contention, and parties, are ye not carnal, and walking in the flesh?
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, while one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
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.
For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, each one 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, and Apollos watered; but God produced the growth.
7 Onye kụrụ mkpụrụ ahụ na onye gbara mkpụrụ ahụ mmiri adịghị mkpa. Ọ bụ Chineke onye mere ka ha too dị mkpa.
Not therefore he that planted, is to be accounted of, nor he that watered, but God who produced the growth.
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.
And he that planted, and he that watered are on a par; each receiveth his reward, according to his labor.
9 Anyị so Chineke na-arụ ọrụ. Unu onwe unu bụkwanụ ubi Chineke bụrụkwa ụlọ ya a na-ewuli elu.
For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.
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 me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it.
11 O nweghị onye ọzọ pụrụ ịtọ ntọala karịrị ntọala ahụ e bururị ụzọ tọọ. Jisọs Kraịst bụkwa ntọala ahụ.
For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.
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,
And if any one buildeth on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble;
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.
the work of each will be exposed to view; for the day will expose it; because it is to be tested by fire; and the fire will disclose the work of each, of what sort it is.
14 Ọ bụrụ na ọkụ eruchapụghị ihe ọbụla mmadụ ji wuo ụlọ ya nʼelu ntọala ahụ, onye ahụ ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ.
And that builder whose work shall endure, will receive his 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.
And he, whose work shall burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from the fire.
16 Ọ bụ na unu aghọtaghị na unu bụ ụlọnsọ na Mmụọ Nsọ Chineke bi nʼime unu?
Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God? and that the Spirit of God dwelleth 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.
Whoever shall mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye 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. Whoever among you thinketh that he is wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be 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 fatuity with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their own craftiness.
20 Ọzọkwa, “Onyenwe anyị maara echiche obi mmadụ, mara na amamihe ya bụ ihe efu.”
And again: The Lord knoweth the devices of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Nʼihi nke a, ka onye ọbụla ghara ịnya isi banyere mmadụ. Ihe niile bụ nke gị.
Wherefore, let no one glory in men: 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 things are yours:
23 Unu bụkwa nke Kraịst, Kraịst bụkwa nke Chineke.
and ye are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.
