1 Qorontos 3

1 Yaa obboloota, ani akka namoota foonii warra Kiristoositti daaʼimman taataniitti malee akka namoota Hafuuraatti isinitti dubbachuu hin dandeenye.

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ;

2 Waan isin nyaata jabaa nyaachuu hin gaʼiniif ani aannan isiniif kenne malee nyaata cimaa isinii hin kennine. Dhugumaan isin amma iyyuu nyaachuu hin dandeenye.

with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able,

3 Isin amma iyyuu nama foonii ti. Sababii hinaaffaa fi wal qoccoluun isin gidduu jiruuf isin nama foonii mitii? Akkuma namoota kaaniitti jiraattu mitii?

for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men?

4 Namni tokko, “Ani kan Phaawulos” jedhee, inni kaan immoo, “Ani kan Apholoos” yoo jedhe isin namuma qofa mitii ree?

For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?

5 Egaa Apholoos eenyu? Phaawulosis eenyu? Isaan warra akkuma hojii Gooftaan tokkoo tokkoo isaaniitiif kenneetti tajaajilanii dha; isin immoo karaa isaaniitiin amantan.

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave?

6 Ani nan dhaabe; Apholoos bishaan obaase; Waaqni garuu ni guddise.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

7 Kanaafuu Waaqa isa guddisu sana malee namichi dhaabu yookaan inni bishaan obaasu sun homaa miti.

so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;

8 Inni dhaabus, inni bishaan obaasus tokkuma; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis akkuma dadhabbii isaaniitti gatii ni argatu.

and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,

9 Nu warra Waaqa wajjin hojjennuu dha; isin lafa qotiisaa Waaqaa ti; ijaarsa Waaqaatis.

for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.

10 Anis ayyaana Waaqni naa kenneen akkuma ogeessa ijaarsaa tokkootti hundee buuseera; namni kaan immoo isa irratti ijaaraa jira. Garuu tokkoon tokkoon namaa akkamitti akka ijaaru of eeggachuu qaba.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid a foundation, and another builds on [it],

11 Namni tokko iyyuu hundee duraan buufame sana malee kan biraa buusuu hin dandaʼuutii; hundeen sunis Yesuus Kiristoos.

for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

12 Namni kam iyyuu yoo hundee sana irratti warqeen, meetiin, dhagaa gatii guddaatiin, mukaan, citaan yookaan hoffaan ijaare,

and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—

13 guyyaan sun waan ifatti isa baasuuf hojiin isaa maal akka taʼe ni beekama. Innis ibiddaan ifatti baafama; ibiddi sunis qulqullina hojii nama hundaa ni qora.

the work will become visible of each, for the day will declare [it], because it is revealed in fire, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire will prove;

14 Yoo wanni inni ijaare utuu hin gubatin hafeef inni gatii isaa ni argata.

if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage;

15 Namni hojiin isaa jalaa gubate kam iyyuu gatii isaa ni dhaba; inni mataan isaa garuu ni oolfama; taʼus akka nama ibidda keessa darbeetti oolfama.

if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

16 Isin akka mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa taatanii fi akka Hafuurri Waaqaa isin keessa jiraatu hin beektanii?

Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 Eenyu iyyuu yoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa balleesse, Waaqni isa ni balleessa; manni qulqullummaa Waaqaa qulqulluudhaatii; manni qulqullummaa sunis isin.

If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.

18 Eenyu iyyuu of hin gowwoomsin. Isin keessaa namni tokko yoo addunyaa kana irratti ogeessa of seʼe, inni akka ogeessa taʼuuf gowwaa haa taʼu. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself; if anyone seems to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise, (aiōn g165)

19 Ogummaan addunyaa kanaa fuula Waaqaa duratti gowwummaadhaatii. Kunis isa, “Inni ogeeyyii haxxummaa isaaniitiin qaba” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”;

20 Akkasumas, “Gooftaan akka yaadni ogeeyyii faayidaa hin qabne ni beeka” jedhameera.

and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.”

21 Kanaafuu eenyu iyyuu namaan hin booniin! Wanni hundinuu keessaniitii;

So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

22 Phaawulosis taʼu Apholoos yookaan Keefaan yookaan addunyaan yookaan jireenyi yookaan duuti yookaan wanti amma jirus taʼu wanti dhufu hundinuu keessan;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours,

23 isin kan Kiristoos; Kiristoos immoo kan Waaqaa ti.

and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.
