1 Wakorintu 16
1 Vinu ntakuli visoweru vya kuwashangira wantu wa Mlungu Muyudeya. Mwenga mtendi ntambu yanuwagambiriti Shikundi sha wantu shawamjimira Yesu aku Galatiya.
Now, concerning the collection, which is for the saints; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so you.
2 Kila jumapili, kila yumu gwenu pakati penu katuli mpiya zyakapatiti na kazituli gweka, su shipindi paniza nakuwera na nfiru ya kujojinika mshangu.
On the first say of the week, let each of you lay somewhat by itself, according as he may have prospered, putting it into the treasury; that when I come, there may be then no collection.
3 Paniza kwa mwenga, hanuwatumi walii yamfira kuwasyagula pakati penu, wajegi luhamba na mafupu Kuyerusalemu.
And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4 Handa payiherepa naneni ng'endi aku, su hawagendi pamuhera na neni.
Or, if it be proper that even I should go, they shall go with me.
5 Pampita kugenda Makedoniya, kwanja hanizi kulikala na mwenga, toziya nfira kugenda Makedoniya.
Now, I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, (for I do pass through Macedonia; )
6 Pamonga hanulikali kwa mwenga shipindi hera ama kulikala na mwenga myezi yoseri ya mpepu, su muntangi nendereyi na mwanja gwangu, koseri kwanfira kugenda.
and, perhaps, I shall abide, and even winter with you, that you may send me forward, whithersoever I may go.
7 Nfira ndiri kupita kwa mwenga kanongola na kwendeleya na mwanja, ntumbira kulikala kwa mwenga katepu hera Mtuwa pakafira.
For I will not now see you in passing; but I hope to remain with you sometime, if the Lord permit.
8 Kumbiti hanulikali Efesu panu mpaka lishaka lya Pentekosti.
However, I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost.
9 Mlyangu gwalupalahera nakamu kwa lihengu lyangu likulu panu, tembera yawanema ndo wavuwa.
For a great and effectual door is opened to me, yet there are many opposers.
10 Timotewu pakiza munjira ya mwenga, namumtenda kaweri na lyoga lyoseri pakawera na mwenga, toziya kankutenda lihengu lya Mtuwa gambira neni ntambu yantenda.
Now, if Timothy be come, take care that he be among you without fear; for he works, even as I do, the work of the Lord.
11 Su muntu yoseri nakamzalawu, kumbiti mumtangi kendereyi na mwanja gwakuwi kwa ponga, su kawezi kuwuya kwa neni, toziya neni nankumuhepera kawuyi pamuhera na walongu wayangu.
Wherefore, let no one despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
12 Vinu ntakuli visoweru vya mlongu gwetu Apolu, numuluwiti kizi kwa mwenga pamuhera na walongu wamonga, kumbiti kafira ndiri kwiza vinu, kumbiti hakizi pakapata lupenyu.
And with relation to our brother Apollos, I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren; but his inclination was not at all to go now, but he will go when he shall find a convenient season.
13 Mkali masu, mgangamali munjimiru, muweri wavikambaku na muweri wagangamala.
Watch; stand fast in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.
14 Kila shamtenda mushitendi kwa mafiliru.
Let all things be done with love.
15 Wantu yamumjimira Kristu mummana Stefana na wantu wa kaya yakuwi, womberi wawera wantu wa kwanja kumjimira Kristu mulushi lwa Akaya na walilaviyiti weni kuwatendera wantu wa Mlungu. Su nuwaluwani walongu wayangu,
You know the family of Stephanus, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints.
16 mjimili ulonguziwa wa wantu gambira awa na kila muntu yakatenda lihengu pamuhera na womberi.
I entreat you, therefore, brethren, that you submit yourselves to such, and to every joint worker and laborer.
17 Nemelera nentu pakiziti Stefana na Fotunatu na Akaiku, toziya walaviyiti kila shintu shashipunguwiti kwa mwenga.
I am glad of the coming of Stephanus, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they have supplied your deficiency,
18 Wagunemiziya moyu gwangu ntambu yamnemeliziwa mwenga viraa. Wantu gambira awa wafiruwa waholwi.
and have refreshed my spirit and yours; wherefore, acknowledge such persons.
19 Wantu wa shipinga shoseri sha yawamjimira Yesu sha Asiya shawalamsiyani. Akula na Prisila na wantu woseri yawaliwona mukaya kwawu, wawalamsiyani kwa litawu lya Mtuwa.
The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation which is in their house.
20 Walongu woseri yawawera panu wawalamsiyani mwenga. Mwenga mulilamsiyani kwa ufiru wa Shikristu.
All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21 Neni Paulu nuwalamsiyani, panemba kwa liwoku lyaneni namweni.
The salutation of Paul with my own hand.
22 Muntu yoseri yakamfira ndiri Mtuwa, su kapangilwi. Mtuwa gwetu, gwizi!
If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes.
23 Manemu ga Mtuwa Yesu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 Mafiliru gangu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga mwawoseri kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Yesu kristu.
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
