1 Wakorintho 1
1 Paulo, yakutibhwai ni Kristu kujha mtume kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, ni Sosthene ndongo bhitu,
Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 kwa kanisa laliyele Korintho kwa bhala ambabho bhabhekuu wakfu katika Yesu Kristu. Ambobho bhakutibhu kujha bhanu bhatakatifu. Tikabhayandikhila kabhele bhala bhoa bhabhakalikutila lihina Bwana bhwa tete Yesu Kristu katika mahali poha, Bwana wa bhene ni watete.
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
3 Neema ni amani ujelai kwa yhomo kuhoma kwa K'yara Dadi yhitu ni Bwana wa yhoto Yesu Kristu.
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Magono ghoha nikanshukuru K'yara wanene kwa ajiri ya yhomo, kwa ndabha ya neema ya K'yara ambajho Kristu Yesu abhapelili.
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5 Abhafuanyiri kuya matajiri mu khila njela, katika usemi ni pamonga maarifa ghoha.
That in every thing you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Abhafuanyiri matajiri, kama ushuhuda kuhusu Kristu ya kwamba asibitishwi kuya kweli miongoni mwa yhomo.
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 Henu mwiphonghokiwa lefi karama sa kiroho, kama mkiyele ni hamu ya kulendelela ufunuo wa Bwana watete Yesu Kristu.
So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8 Ilotakubhaimarisha muenga kabhele hadi kumwishu, ili mkolokulaumibhwa ligono lya Bwana watete Yesu Kristu.
Who shall also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 k'yara ni mwaminifu ambayi abhakutili muenga mu ushirika wa mwana munu, Yesu Kristu Bwana watete.
God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Henu nikabhasihi bhakaka ni bhadada yangu, kuphetela lihina lya Bwana watete Yesu Kristu, kwamba bhoha muyedekai, na kwamba kukolokuya ni mugawanyiko miongoni mwayhomo. Nikabhasihi kwamba muungane pamonga mu nia imonga na katika kusudi limonga.
Now I beseech you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 Kwani bhanu bha nyumba ya Kloe bhanitaarifu kuya kuyele mgawanyiko wiyeudelela miongoni mwayhomo.
For it has been declared to me of you, my brothers, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Niyele nimaana eye: Khila mmonga wayhomo ijobha, “Nene ni wa Paulo,” au “Nene ni wa Apolo”, au “Nene ni wa Kefa” au “Nene ni wa Kristu”.
Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
13 Je! Kristu agawanyiki? Je! Paulo asulibibhu kwa ajiri yatete? Je! Abatisibhu kwa lihina lya Paulo?
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 Nikanshukuru K'yara kwa ndabha nambatisilepi yeyoha yhola, isipokuwa Krispo na Gayo.
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Eye yayele kwamba ayelelepi yeywoha yhola ngajobhili mwabatisibhu kwa lihina lya nene.
Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
16 (Kabhele nabhabatisi bha nyumba ya Stephania. Zaidi ya apabahu, nimanyili lepi kama nabatisi munu yhongi yeywoha yhola).
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17 Kwa ndabha, Kristu anitumilepi kubatisya bali kuhubiri injili. Anitumilepi kuhubiri kwa malobhi gha hekima gha kibinadamu, ili kwamba nghofho ya msalaba wa Kristu ikolokubhosibhwa.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 Kwa ndabha ujumbe wa msalaba ni upuuzi kwa bhala bhabhifwa. Lakini kwa bhala ambabho K'yara akabhaokola, ni nghofho ya K'yara.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 Kwa ndabha iyandikibhu, “Nilotakuiharibu hekima yabhabhayele ni busara. Nilota kuharibu ufahamu wa bhayele ni akili.”
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Ayele ndaku munu yayele ni busara? Ayendaku yayele ni elimu? Ayendaku nsemaji nshawishi wa dunia eye? Je, K'yara aigeuzi lepi hekima ya dunia eye kuya ujinga? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
21 Tangu dunia iyele mu hekima ya muene yammanyililepi K'yara, yampendisi K'yara mu ujinga wa bhene wa kuhubiri ili kuokola bhala bhabhiamini.
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 Kwa Bhayahudi bhikota ishara sa miujiza ni kwa bhayunani bhilonda hekima.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 Lakini tikamhubiri Kristu yasulibibhu yayele kikwazo kwa bhayahudi na ni ujinga kwa bhayunani.
But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
24 Lakini kwa bhala ambabho bhabhakutibhu ni K'yara, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, tikamhubiri Kristo kama nghofho ni hekima ya K'yara.
But to them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Kwa ndabha ujinga wa k'yara iyele ni hekima kuliko ya bhanadamu, ni udhaifu wa K'yara uyele ni nghofho zaidi ya bhanadamu.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 Mulangayi wito wa K'yara yhomo, bhakaka ni bhadada bhangu. Si bhingi kati ya yhomo ni hekima hekima mu fiwango fya kibinadamu. Si bhingi kati ya yhomo mwahogoliki mu ukuu.
For you see your calling, brothers, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 Lakini K'yara achaguili fhenu fijinga fya dunia ili kufiaibisya kakujele ni nghofho.
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 K'yara achaguili khela kakujele kya hali ya pasi na kakidharaulibhu mu dunia. Achaguili hata fhenu ambafyo fabelili kubhalangibhwa kuya khenu, kwa kukifuanya sikhenu fhenu fafujele ni samani.
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:
29 Afuanyili naha ili akolokuya yeywoha yhola yaayele ni sababu ya kwifuna mbele sa muene.
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 Kwa ndabha ya khela K'yara kaakhetili, henu muyele mugati mwa Kristu Yesu, ambajhe afuanyiki hekima kwa ajili yatete kuhoma kwa K'yara. Ayele haki yetete, utakatifu ni ukombozi.
But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 Kama matokeo, kama andiko likijobha, “Yakisifu, ajisifwai katika Bwana.”
That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
