1 Wakorintho 3
1 Ni nene, kaka ni dada yangu, najobhili lepi ni muenga kama bhanu kiroho, lakini kama ni bhanu bha kimbhele. Kama ni bhana bhadebe mu Kristu.
Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
2 Nabhanywesili maziwa na si nyama, kwa ndabha mwayele lepi tayari kwa kulya nyama. Na hata henu muyelepi tayari.
I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
3 Kwa ndabha muenga mwakhona ni bha mbele. kwa ndabha wivu ni majifuno ghabonikile miongoni mwenu. Je, hamuishi kulengana na mbhele, na je, mwigenda lepi kama kawaida ya kibinadamu?
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
4 Kwa ndabha mmonga ijobha, “Nikamfuata Paulo” Yhongi ijobha “Nikamfuata Apolo,” muishu lepi kama bhanadamu?
For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
5 Apolo ni niani? ni Paulo ni niani? bhatumishi bha yhola mwamini kwa khila ambayi Bwana ampelili jukumu.
Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
6 Nene napanda, Apolo akasopili masi, lakini K'yara akuzili.
I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
7 Henu, si ya kwelili wala yasopili masi ayele kyokyokhela. Lakini ni K'yara yaikuza.
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
8 Henu yaipanda ni yasopili masi bhoa ni sawa, ni khila mmonga ilota kupokela ujira wake kulengana ni mbombo ya muene.
Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 Kwa ndabha tete tu bhatitenda mbombo bha K'yara, muenga ni bustani ya K'yara lijengo la K'yara.
For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
10 Kutokana ni neema ya K'yara yanipelibhu kama mjenzi mbaha, naubhekili msingi, ni yhongi ijenga panani pa muene. Lakini munu ayele makini jinsi kaijenga panani pa muene.
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 man be careful how he builds on it.
11 Kwa ndabha ayelepi yaibhuesya kujenga msingi bhongi zaidi ya waijengibhu, ambabhu ni Yesu Kristu.
For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Henu, kama mmonga wa yhomo ajengili panani pa muene kwa dhahabu, hela, maganga gha thamani, mabhehe, manyasi, au mathondo,
But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
13 Mbombo ya muene yilota kufunulibhwa, kwa muanga wa pamusi wilota kudhihirishwa ni muoto. Muota wilota kujaribu ubora wa mbombo wa khila mmonga kyafuanyili.
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 Kama kyokyokhela munu kyajengili kitabaki, muene ilokupoela zawadi.
If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
15 Lakini kama mbombo ya munu ikiteketela kwa muoto, ilota kukabha hasara. Lakini muene ilota kuokolibhwa, kama fhela kuyepuka mu muoto.
If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
16 Mumanyilepi kujha muenga ni hekalu lya K'yara ni ndabha roho gha K'yara itama mugati mwa yhomo?
Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
17 Tivai munu akaliharibu lihekalu lya K'yara, K'yara ilota kumharibu munu yhola. Kwandabha hekalu lya K'yara ni takatifu, na hwiyo ni muenga.
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
18 Munu akalokhwidanganya tivai yeywoha yhale miongoni mwayhomo udhani ayele ni hekima katika nyakati ese, ayele tivai, “Mjinga” ndipo ilokuya ni hekima. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Kwandabha hekima ya dunia eye ni ujinga palongolopa K'yara kwandabha ujandikibhu, “Bhakakamula bhabheyele ni hekima kwa hila sya bhene.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
20 ni kabhele “Bwana imanya mawazo ya bhabhayele ni busara ni batili”
And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
21 Henu munu akolokwifuna bhanadamu! Kwandabha fhenu fyoha ni f'ayhomho.
Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
22 Tivai ni Paulo, au Apolo, au kefa, au dunia, au maisha au kifo au fhenu fafiyele, au fafilota kuya fyiha ni fayhomho.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
23 Ni muenga ni bha Kristu ni wa K'yara.
and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
