1 Bhakolinto 1
1 Nne a Pauli njemilwe kubha ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, na Bhakilishitu ajangu a Shoshiteneshi ngunakunnjandishilanga,
Paul a called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother
2 mmanganya likanisha lya a Nnungu nninginji ku Kolinto. Nninginji bha ukonjelo nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, nshemilwenje mmanganje bhandu bha a Nnungu pamo na bhandu bhowe bhakwaajuganga Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu bhali bhakulungwa bhabhonji na bhetu.
To the church of God which is being in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus called holy, together with all those calling on the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs (then *k*) and ours:
3 Tunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele kopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu, na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu mobha gowe kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha bhashikumpanganga nema jabho pitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
I thank the God of mine always concerning you for the grace of God which having been given you in Christ Jesus
5 Pabha, kwa lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu nshishulushilwanga kwa kila shindu. Nshikolanga shikono sha lumanyio lowe na kombola kubheleketa.
for in everything you have been enriched in Him in all speech and in all knowledge,
6 Malinga ukong'ondelo gwa a Kilishitu shiushite malila mmitima jenunji,
even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed in you,
7 wala nkatubhilwanga shipaji shoshowe, nnilolelanga kubhonekana kwabho Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
so as for you not to be lacking in not one gift eagerly awaiting the revelation of the Lord of us Jesus Christ;
8 Bhenebho shibhanshimilikanje mmanganya mpaka kumpelo, nnabhonekanje nshilebhanga lyubha lya kwiya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu lila.
who also will sustain you to [the] end blameless in the day of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
9 A Nnungu bha kulupalika, bhashinkunshemanga mmanganya mmanganje shindu shimo na bhana bhabho a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu.
Faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into fellowship with the Son of Him Jesus Christ the Lord of us.
10 Ashaalongo, ngunakunshondelesheyanga kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu kuti, gunkubheleketanga gabhe gamo, kunapagwe kugabhanyika munkumbi gwenunji, ikabhe nkolanje ng'aniyo imo na ndumbililo imo.
I exhort now you, brothers, through the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ that the same thing you may speak all and not there may be among you divisions, you may be however knit together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 Pabha ashaalongo ajangu, njilugulilwa ga ngani jenunji na bhandunji bha ulongo gwa a Koloe kuti, gushipagwa mpwai munkumbi gwenunji.
It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.
12 Bhai, shingupinga bheleketa ni sheshino, kila mundu anabheleketa mwakwe. Juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Pauli,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Apolo,” na juna kuti, “Nne jwa a Kepa”, na juna akuti, “Nne jwa a Kilishitu.”
I mean now this, that each of you says; I myself indeed am of Paul, I myself however of Apollos, I myself however of Cephas, I myself however of Christ.
13 Bhuli, a Kilishitu bhashigabhanyika? Bhuli, a Pauli ni bhakomelwe munshalabha kwa ligongo lyenunji? Eu bhuli, mwashinkubhatishwanga kwa lina lya a Pauli?
Has been divided Christ? Surely not Paul was crucified for you? Or into the name of Paul were you baptized?
14 Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu, pabha nangammatisha mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji ikabhe a Kilishipashi na a Gayo pe.
I thank God that no [one] of you I baptized only except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Kwa nneyo jwakwa shaabhelekete kuti ashibhatishwa kwa lina lyangu.
so that not anyone may say that into my name (you were baptized. *N(K)O*)
16 Elo, naabhatishenje a Shitepana na bha likaja lyabho, punda bhanganyabho, kwali monaga nammatishe mundu juna.
I baptized now also the of Stephanas household; as to the rest not I know whether any other I baptized.
17 A Kilishitu bhanganduma kubhatisha, ikabhe nunguye Ngani ja Mmbone. Na kwene lunguyako kunakulupalile lunda lwa shigundu, nkupinga kuwa kwa a Kilishitu munshalabha kunapetekuywe.
Not for sent me Christ to baptize but to evangelise; not in wisdom of discourse, that not may be emptied of power the cross of the Christ.
18 Pabha ntenga gwa kuwa kwa a Yeshu munshalabha kwa bhaobhanga ni ungumba, ikabheje kwetu uwe tuli muntapulo gwa gwene ntenga go, ni mashili ga a Nnungu.
The message for of the cross to those indeed perishing foolishness is, to those however being saved to us power of God it is.
19 Pabha ishijandikwa, “Shing'angabhanye lunda lwabhonji, na lumanyio lwa bhaashomanga shinilukane.”
It has been written for: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.
20 Bhai, luli kwei lunda lwa bhakwetenje lunda? Bhalinginji kwei bhaajiganya bha shalia ja a Musha? Ali kwei jwa mitau jwa gene mobha gano? A Nnungu bhashikulutenda lunda lwa bhandu bha pashilambolyo ubhelu. (aiōn g165)
Where [is the] wise? Where [the] scribe? Where [the] debater of the age this? Surely has made foolish God the wisdom of the world (this? *k*) (aiōn g165)
21 Pabha kwa lunda lwa a Nnungu, bhandu bhakwetenje lunda bhakakombolanga kwaamanya a Nnungu. Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkupinga kwaatapulanga bhakwaakulupalilanga, kwa shene shibhakushibhonanga bhakwetenje lunda kuti ungumba, yani ntenga gutulunguya
Since for in the wisdom of God not knew the world through the wisdom God, was pleased God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing;
22 Pabha Bhayaudi bhanapinganga ilangulo na Bhagiliki bhanaloleyanga lunda.
Seeing that both Jews (signs *N(K)O*) ask for and Greeks wisdom seek,
23 Ikabheje uwe tunakwaalunguya a Kilishitu bhapotekwe munshalabha. Ku Bhayaudi ndabhila na kubhandu bha ilambo ina ungumba,
we ourselves however preach Christ crucified, to [the] Jews indeed a stumbling block (to Gentiles *N(K)O*) however foolishness
24 ikabheje kwa bhaagwilwenje na a Nnungu Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki, a Kilishitu ni mashili na lunda lwa a Nnungu.
to them however to those called, Jews both and to Greeks, Christ of God [the] power and of God [the] wisdom.
25 Pabha ubhonekana ungumba gwa a Nnungu ushikola lunda kupunda lwa bhandu, kubhoneka kunyegala kwa a Nnungu, kushikola mashili kupunda mashili ga bhandu.
For the foolishness of God wiser than men is and the weakness of God stronger than men (is. *k*)
26 Ashaapwanga, nkumbushilanje mobha gumwashemilwenje na a Nnungu, bhakwetenje lunda bhakashulukenjeje nkali kwa lunda lwa shigundu, bhabhagwinji bhakamanyikenjeje na wala bhakakwetenjeje indu.
Consider for the calling of you, brothers, that not many wise according to flesh [were], not many powerful, not many of noble birth,
27 Ikabheje a Nnungu bhashinkuiagula indu ya shibhelu, nkupinga bhaapetekuyanje bhakwetenje lunda, na bhashinkuiagula indu ya nyegaywa nkupinga kwaapetekuyanga bhandu bhakwetenje mashili.
But the foolish things of the world has chosen God that He may shame the wise and the weak things of the world chose God that He may shame the strong,
28 A Nnungu bhashinkuagula indu ya nyegala yangali mashili ya pashilambolyo, numbe indu ya nyegala yabhonekaga mbuti ikapaliji, nkupinga bhaipetekuye indu ibhoneka ya mmbone ku bhandunji.
and the low-born of the world and the [things] despised chose God, (and *ko*) the [things] not being, that the [things] being He may annul,
29 Bhai, jwakwa mundu shaipunile shoshowe kwa a Nnungu.
so that not may boast all flesh before (God. *N(K)O*)
30 A Nnungu bhayene bhashikunnundanyanga na a Kilishitu Yeshu. A Nnungu bhashikwaatenda a Kilishitu bhabhe lunda lwetu na aki jetu, na pitila bhenebho uwe tunalundana na a Nnungu kubha bhandu bhabho bha ukonjelo, na bhawetenje aki na bhagombolwenje.
Out of Him however you yourselves are in Christ Jesus, who has been made wisdom unto us from God, righteousness and also sanctification and redemption,
31 Bhai, malinga shiijandikwe, “Apinga kwiipuna, bhai, aipunile liengo lya Bhakulungwa.”
in order that even as it has been written: The [one] boasting in [the] Lord he should boast.
