1 Wakorintu 3
1 Walongu wayangu, neni mweziti ndiri kutakula na mwenga gambira wana wina na Rohu gwa Mlungu, ntakula na mwenga gambira wantu wa pasipanu, gambira wanonu mumakaliru ga Shikristu.
Now, I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly men, even as to babes in Christ.
2 Nuwalandiziya mwenga maweri, pota na kuwapanani shiboga shikamala, toziya mwenga maweni shirii. Ata vinu mwakala ndiri kushiliya.
Milk I gave you--not meat; for you were not then able to receive it: nay, neither yet now are you able, because you are still fleshly.
3 Toziya mwenga mwankulikala gambira wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yawalikala. Hashi, yanakaka ndiri kuwera kwana weya na kulilewana pakati penu? Goseri aga gawalanguziyani mwenga mwankali wantu wa pasipanu na mwankulikala gambira pasipanu ntambu yapafira.
For, whereas, among you, envying, and strife, and divisions subsist; are you not fleshly, and walk after the manner of men?
4 Yumu gwenu pakatakula, “Neni nufata Paulu,” Na yumonga kalonga, “Neni numufata Apolu.” Hashi, mtenda ndiri gambira wantu wa pasipanu ntambu yawatenda?
Besides, while one says, I, indeed, am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos, are you not fleshly?
5 Hashi, Apolu ndo gaa? Hashi, Paulu ndo gaa? Twenga twa wantumintumi hera wa Mlungu, yatuwajegerani mwenga njimiru. Kila yumu gwetu katenda lihengu lyakapananitwi na Mtuwa.
For who is Paul, and who is Apollos; but ministers, by whom you have believed, even as the Lord has given to each?
6 Neni nyaliti mbeyu na Apolu katiriti mashi, kumbiti Mlungu ndo yakayimeriziyiti mbeyu ayi.
I have planted, Apollos has watered; but God has made to grow.
7 Ulii yakayaliti na ulii yakitiliti mashi shintu ndiri, kumbiti Mlungu gweka yakuwi ndo yakavitenditi vyoseri avi vikuli.
So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God, who makes to grow.
8 Muntu yakayaliti na muntu yakitiliti mashi, woseri watenda lihengu lyakulinganira, Mlungu hakamfupi kila muntu kulawirana na lihengu lyakatenditi.
However, the planter and the waterer are one, and each shall receive his proper reward, according to his proper labor.
9 Toziya twenga twawalongu, tutenda lihengu pamuhera na Mlungu na mwenga mwalirambu lya Mlungu na mwenga mwanumba ya Mlungu.
Wherefore, we are joint laborers, employed by God. You are God's field; you are God's building.
10 Kwa utanga wa mafupu gampananitwi na Mlungu, ntenditi lihengu gambira mnyawa numba na ntuliti lyanjiru, muntu gwingi kankunyawa palyanjiru ali. Kumbiti kila muntu kaliloli weri ntambu yakanyawa.
According to the favor of God, which is given to me as a skillful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon it. But let every one take heed how he builds on it.
11 Kwahera muntu gwingi yakaweza kutula lyanjiru lyamonga pa ulii yakalituliti kala, lyanjiru ali ndo Yesu Kristu.
For other foundation no one can lay, except what is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Pa lyanjiru ali, wantu wamonga hawanyawi kwa zahabu ama madini gawagashema mpiya ama kwa mabuwi ga mpiya zivuwa, ama mitera ama miteti ama lyasi.
Now if any one build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Na uherepa wa lihengu lya kila muntu haliwoneki mulishaka lya Kristu pakashigubutula. Toziya mulishaka ali motu hagugubutuli lihengu lya kila muntu na motu hagupimi na kulanguziya uherepa wakuwi.
every one's work shall be made manifest: for the say will make it plain, because it is revealed by fire; and so the fire will try every one's work, of what sort it is.
14 Payiwera shakanyawiti muntu palyanjiru alu pashilungula ndiri mumotu agu, su mnyawa numba hakawanki lifupu.
If the work of any one remain, which he has built upon the foundation: he shall receive a reward.
15 Kumbiti lihengu lya muntu yoseri palilungulira, kumbiti yakanyawiti hakaagamiziyi lifupu lyakuwi, kumbiti mweni hakalopoziwi gambira kusolopoka kulawa mumotu.
If the work of any one shall be burnt, he will suffer loss: himself, however, shall be saved, yet so as through a fire.
16 Hashi, mwenga muvimana ndiri kuwera mwenga Mwanumba nkulu ya Mlungu na Rohu gwa Mlungu kalikala mngati mwemwenga?
Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells among you?
17 Su muntu pakaihalibisiya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, Mlungu hakamuhalabisiyi yomberi. Toziya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu ndo inanagala na maweni mwenga ndo handa numba ya Mlungu.
If any one destroy the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
18 Namulipayira! Muntu yoseri pakati pa mwenga pakalihola kana luhala lwa ntambu ya pasipanu, mbaka kaweri mzyigizyigi su kapati kuwera na luhala lwa nakaka. (aiōn g165)
Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you think to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)
19 Toziya luhala lwa wantu wa pasipanu luwera luzyigizyigi kulongolu kwa Mlungu. Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga, “Mlungu kankuwagomiziya yawawera na luhala muwujanja wawu.”
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, "He entangled the wise in their own craftiness."
20 Na Malembu Mananagala gamonga kayi, “Mtuwa kavimana kuwera maholu ga yawawera na luhala gafaa ndiri.”
And again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain."
21 Su muntu nakalitumbiria kila shintu shawatenda wantu, toziya kila shintu sha mwenga.
Wherefore, let no man boast in men; for all things are yours:
22 Kaweri Paulu ama Apolu ama Kefa ama pasipanu ama makaliru ama kuhowa, ama vitwatira vya vinu na vya shakapanu, vyoseri vya mwenga.
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come--all are yours;
23 Na mwenga mwawantu wa Kristu na Kristu gwa Mlungu.
and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
