1 Wakorintho 4
1 Efe ndifyo munu atubhalangili tete, kama bhatumishi bha Kristu ni bhawakilishi bha siri sa ukueli sa K'yara.
So a person should consider us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries.
2 Katika ele, kakilondeka kwa uwakili ni kwamba bhayele bha kutumainibhwa.
Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
3 Lakini kwanene nene ni khenu kidebe sana kuya nihukumiwa ni muenga au hukumu ya kibinadamu. Kwa ndabha nikihukumu lepi hata nene na muene.
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I do not judge my own self.
4 Nihukumulepi nene na muene, eye iyelepi ni maana kuwa nene niyele ni haki. Ni Bwana yakanihukumu.
For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
5 Henu, mkolokutama hukumu juu ya lilyoha lhela kabla ya wakati, kabla ya kuhida kwa Bwana. ilotakuleta munuru mambo ghaghafihiki mugiza ni kufunula makusudi gha mioyo. Ndipo khila mmonga ilotakupokela sifa sa muene kuhomela kwa K'yara.
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one will get his praise from God.
6 Henu, kaka ni dada yangu, nene na muene ni Apolo nitumili kanuni ese kwa ajili ya yhomo. Ili kwamba kuhoma kwatete mwibhuesya kujifunza maana gha lusumu, “Kolokulota zaidi ya kakiyandikibhu.” Eye ni kwamba kuyele mmonga wa yhomo yaki yakiunila juu ya yhongi.
Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to go beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
7 Maana ni niani yaibhona tofauti kati ya muenga ni yhongi? Ni kiki kauyenaku kawapokili bure? Kamaumalikupokela bure, kwandayakiki mwikifuna kama mwaketili naha?
For who makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 Tayari myenafu fhoha ambafyo ngamwilonda! Tayari muyele ni utajiri! Muyandili kutawala - na kwamba mwimiliki zaidi ya tete tayhotho! Kueli, nikabhatakila umiliki unofu ili kwamba tumilikiai pamonga ni muenga.
You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 Kwa henu nidhani K'yara atubhekili tete mitume kama atuvasiri wa muishu mu mustari wa maandamano ni kama bhanu bhabhahukumibhu kukhomibhwa. Tuyele kama tamasha kwa ulimwengu, kwa malaika na kwa bhanadamu.
For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and people.
10 Tete ni bhajinga kwa ajili ya Kristu, lakini muenga ni bhabhayele ni hekima mu Kristu. Tu bhanyonge, lakinimuenga muyele ni nghofho. Mwiheshimibhwa, lakini tete tidharaulibhwa.
We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
11 Hata saa eye tuyele ni njala ni kiu, tuyelepi ni nghofho, tiyele ni mapigo, kabhele tiyelepi ni pakuishi.
Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12 Tifuanya mbombo kwa bidii, kwa mabhokho ghayhotho ka bhene. Pathidharaulibhwa, tibalikibhwa, Wakati ptitesibhwa, tivumilila.
We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 Patilighibhwa, tikelebhusya kwa upole, tiyele, ni tukakhona tibhalangibhwa kuwa kama kutawala ni dunia ni takataka kwa mambo ghoha.
Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14 Nujandikilepi mambo agha kubhaaibisya muenga, lakini kubhakerebhukila muenga kama bhana bha nene yanibhaganili.
I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15 Hata kama muyele ni bhalim makumi elfu mu Kristu, bhayelepi bha dadi bhingi kwa ndabha nijele dadi yhinu mu Yesu Kristu kuphetela injili.
For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
16 Henu nikabhasihi mnigai nene.
I appeal to you therefore, be imitators of me.
17 Eyu ndiyo sababu namtumili kwa yhomo Timotheo, mpendwa wa nene ni muana mwaminifu mu Bwana. Ilotakubhakhombosya njela syangu mu Kristu, kama kanifundisya kila mahali ni khila kanisa.
Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Henu baadhi ya muenga bhikisifu bhikikheta, kana kwamba nihida lepi kwa muenga.
Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19 Lakini nilota kuhida kwa yhomo kitambo, kama Bwana akaganai. Ndipo nilotakumanya si malobhi gha bhene tu bhabhikisifu, lakini nilota kubhona nghofho sa bhene.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
20 Kwa ndabha Ufalme wa K'yara wiyalepi mu malobhi bali mu nghofho.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 Mwilonda kiki? Nihida kwa yhomo ni ndonga au kwa upendo ni katika roho ya upole?
What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
