1 Va Korinte 1
1 Paulusi, ava sumpwa kwa Jesu Kreste ku va muapositola che tanto ya Ireeza, mi ni Sosthene mukwetu,
Paul called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ, through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 kwi kereke ye Ireeza ya Makorinte, kwavo va va njolozwa ni Jesu Kreste, va supitwe ku va vantu va njolola. Tu ñolela vulyo vonse avo va supa izina lya Simwine Jesu Kreste mu zivaka zonse, Simwine wavo ni wetu.
Vnto the Church of God, which is at Corinthus, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, Saintes by calling, with all that call on the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ in euery place, both their Lord, and ours:
3 Chishemo ni konzo zi ve kwenu kuzwilila kwe Reeza Muzazi wetu ni Simwine Jesu Kreste.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
4 Inako yonse ni litumela kwe Reeza wangu chenu vakeñi cha chishemo che Reeza chi va hewa kwenu cha Jesu Kreste.
I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe for the grace of God, which is giuen you in Iesus Christ,
5 A vami tendi va vahumi mwi nzila zonse, ni mu zi wambo zonse ni nzivo yonse,
That in all things ye are made rich in him, in all kinde of speach, and in all knowledge:
6 sina ha kuva pakiwa za Jesu Kreste zi ve zuzilizwa ku va zeniti mukati kenu.
As the testimonie of Iesus Christ hath bene confirmed in you:
7 Linu hanu ka mu vulite impo za luhuho sina ha mu lindile zi ungilwe za Simwine Jesu Kreste.
So that ye are not destitute of any gift: wayting for the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ.
8 Ka wole ku mi koza ku twala ku ma manimani, kutendela kuti mu vule kusa swaviswa mwi zuva lya Simwine wetu Jesu Kreste.
Who shall also confirme you vnto the ende, that ye may be blamelesse, in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ.
9 Ireeza u sepahala, ya va mi sumpi kuva mu chilikani cha Mwan'a kwe, Jesu Kreste Simwin”e tu.
God is faithfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.
10 Linu ni mi kumbila, vakwangu, che zina lya Simwine Jesu Kreste, kuti mwese mu zumina, mi kuti sanzi ku vi ni kauhano mukati kenu. Ni mi kumbila kuti mu kopane ha mwina che ngana yonke ni mutendo u swana.
Nowe I beseeche you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thing, and that there be no dissensions among you: but be ye knit together in one mind, and in one iudgement.
11 Imi iva vikwa munzila yi zuweka kwangu, va kwangu, cha vantu va Kloe kuti mitendo yavo yi tendahale mukati kenu.
For it hath bene declared vnto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Chi ni wamba nje chi: zumwi ni zumwi kwenu ati, “ni wa Paulusi,” kapa “wa Apolosi,” kapa wa Kefasi; kapa ni wa Kreste.
Nowe this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am Pauls, and I am Apollos, and I am Cephas, and I am Christs.
13 Nji kuti Kreste u kauhene? Kana Paulusi ava kokotelwa ka chenu? Kana mu va kolovezwa mwi nzina lya Paulusi?
Is Christ deuided? was Paul crucified for you? either were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Ni litumela kwe Reeza kuti kana ni va kolovezi nangati umwina kwenu, kunde a Krispusi ni Gaius.
I thanke God, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus, and Gaius,
15 Ku vavi vulyo ku tendela kuti ka kwina nangati umwina yo wamba kuti ava kolovezwa mwi nzina lwa ngu.
Lest any should say, that I had baptized into mine owne name.
16 (Ni va kolovezi vulyo ni vezuvo ya Setefanisi. Kuzwaho, kanizi heva ni va kolovezi vamwi.)
I baptized also the houshold of Stephanas: furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptized any other.
17 Imi Kreste kena avani tumi kwiza ku koloveza kono kwiza ku ruta linzwi. Kena avani tumi kwiza ku ku ruta cha manzwi a vutali vwa muntu, kutendela kuti chifapano cha Kreste sanzi chivuli ziho.
For CHRIST sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospel, not with wisdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 Imi ituto kuamana ni chifapano ivonisa vuholo kwavo va chi vafwa. Kono mukati kavo avo va kwete kuhaza Ireeza, ziho ze Reeza.
For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God.
19 Imi ku ñoletwe, “Mu ni sinye vutali bwavo vena vutali. Mu ni filikanye yi kutwisiso ya wina maano.”
For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent.
20 Winahi muntu muchinu? winahi muñoli? winahi Muwambi we nako zinu za sunu? Kena kuti Ireeza ava sanduli maano e kanda kuva isena intuso? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse? (aiōn g165)
21 Kuzwila uko inkanda kena ivena maano akwi ziva Ireeza, ku va sangisi Ireeza chavo ziholeluli va sena va vena maano a ku ruta za ku lukulula avo va zumina.
For seeing the worlde by wisedome knewe not God in the wisedome of GOD, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that beleeue:
22 Majuda va saka imakazo mi Magerike va saka maano.
Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome.
23 Iswe tukutaza Kreste ya va kokotelwa, chi sitataliso ku Majuda ni vuholo luli ku Magerike.
But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse:
24 Kono kwavo vava sumpi Ireeza, vonse Majuda ni Magerike, tu ruta Kreste ziho ni maano a Ireeza.
But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God.
25 Imi vuholo luli vwe Reeza vwina vutali luli kuhita vwa vantu, mi ku vula ziho luli kwe Reeza ku kolete kuzamba kwa vantu.
For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
26 Mu lole ipinzo zenu, vakwangu, kena vungi vwenu vena maano ena mazimo a vuntu. Kena vungi vwenu va vena ziho. Kena vungi vwenu va pepywa nenza.
For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
27 Kono Ireeza ava keti zintu mwi inkanda zivoneka vuhole ku swavisa vatali. Ireeza ava keti zi sena ziho mwi inkanda ku swavisa vena ziho.
But God hath chosen the foolish thinges of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confound the mightie things,
28 Ireeza ava keti zintu ze inkanda hansi ni zikendetwe. Ava keti vulyo ni zintu zi vonahala kuva zi sena tuso, ni zi sa kwina ni zina kwateni ava zitendi ku sa va za vutokwa.
And vile things of the worlde and thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, and thinges which are not, to bring to nought thinges that are,
29 Ava tendi vulyo kutendela kuti ka kwina yo swanela kuli katula havusu vwakwe.
That no flesh shoulde reioyce in his presence.
30 Vakeñi cha va tendi Ireeza, hanu twina kwa Jesu Kreste, ya va tendwa maano kwetu ke Reeza. Avavi yo shiyeme, yo njolwezwe, ni mu sumununwa.
But ye are of him in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption,
31 Che kalavo, sina linzwi ha li wamba, “mu siye yo liyemuna, ali nyemune mwi zina ya Simwine.”
That, according as it is written, Hee that reioyceth, let him reioyce in the Lord.
