1 Abhakorintho 1

1 U Paulo, wakiziwilwe nu Kristi Yesu abhe sontezwi whimagano ga Ngolobhe, nu Sosthene wholo wetu,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 whishibhanza sha Ngolobhe lyalyaleho hu Korintho, whabhala ambao bhabhe whelwe hushiputo wha Yesu Kristi bhabhali bhakwiziwe abhe bhantu bhasafi. Tihubhasimbila pia bhala bhonti bhabhahulikwizwa itawala lwa Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi kati amahali ponti, Ugosi wawo nu wetu.

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Ineema nuwinza ibhe humwenyu afume wha Ngolobhe baba wetu nu Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

4 Insiku zyonti uhunsalifwa Ongolobhe wane kwa ajili yenyu, afwatanaje ni neema ya Ngolobhe ambayo uKristi uYesu abhapiye.

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Jesus;

5 Abhawombile abhe bhatabhazi katika kila idala, katika ayanje pamoja ni njele zyonti.

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 Abhawombile atabhazi, hansi usimishizi ahusu uKristi aje ahakikizwe abhe lyoli peka nawo.

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:

7 Eshi sagamopongoshewa ikalama zishimoyo, hansi shamuli ni hamu ya golele ugubulwe wa Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi.

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah to be revealed;

8 Ayihubhaimalisya amwe pia hadi humwisho, ili musalaumiwe isiku lya Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

9 Ungolobhe golosu wabhakwizizye amwe katika uwushirika wa mwanawakwe, uYesu kristi Ugosi wetu.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah, our Lord.

10 Eshi ihubhalabha nkulo nuyilombo bhane, ashilile widala lay Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi, abhe wonti bheteshe, na kwamba husahabhe ulugabhanyo mmiongoni mwenyu. Ihubhalabha aje mulemane mwenti nahuniya yeka na whikusudi lyeka.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 Huje abhantu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhambozezye aje huli amalehano gagahendela mumiongoni mwenyu.

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Indi ni maana ene: Kila weka mwikundi lyenyu ayanga, “Ane ni wa Paulo,” au “Ane ni wa Apolo”, au “Ane niwa Kefa” au “Ane niwa Kristi”.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Messiah."

13 Je! uKristi agabhanyishe? Je! uPaulo ayambele kwa ajili yenyu? Je! mwahozewelwe whitawa lya Paulo?

Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 Ihusalifwa Ungolobhe aje saga na mozizye wowonti, ila u Krispo nu Gayo.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Ene yali huje hamuna wowonti wayanje aje mwahozewelwe whitawa lyane.

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

16 (Na nawozizye bha munyumba ya Stephania. Hani yepo, sigihelewa aje namozizye umuntu uwenje wowonti).

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

17 Afwatanaje U Kristi sagwantumile ahozye ila alombelele ibhangili. Sagaantumile alombelele hunongwa zinjele yishibinadamu, ili aje engovo yikhobhehanyo lya Kristi lisahefwewe.

For Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.

18 Afwatanaje intumi yikhobhehanyo walangani whabhala bhabhafwa. Ila whabhala ambao Ongolobhe ahubhaokoa, ngovo wha Ngolobhe.

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 Afwatanaje isimbililwe, “Nayihuyinanganya injele yibhibusala. Nayiunganya uwelewa wibhi njele.”

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 Awhi umuntu winjele? awhi winsukulu? awhi wayanje washawishi wense ene? Aje, Ungolobhe sagaayigeuzizye injele yense ene abhe ukwelengusu? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

21 Afume ense ileho katika injele yakwe sagayamenye Ongolobhe, yasongwezye Ongolobhe katika ukwelengusu wawo walambele ili whuwaule bhala bhabhawheteha.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 Whubhayahudi bhawozelezya iishara zimayele na Abhayunani bhawhanza ihekima.

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 Eshi tilombelela uKristi wayembele, wahali visyo wha Bhayahudi na kwelengusu wha Bhayunani.

but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 Lakini whabhala ambawo bhakwiziwe no Ngolobhe, Abhayahudi tihunobhelela uKristi hansi engovo ninjele ya Ngolobhe.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Abhe ukwelengusu wa Ngolobhe uli ninjele ashele abhanada, na uwuzowofu wa Ngolobhe whuline ngovo hani ya bhanadamu.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 Enyi ukwiziwe wa Ngolobhe humwanya yenyu, kolo nu yelombo bhane. Sagabhinji bhenyu mwapapwilwe katika uwugosi.

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.

27 Ila Ungolobhe asaluye ivintu ivekwelengusu vyense ili huvisosye vivilininjele. Ungolobhe asaluye shili zohofu panse hushisosye shishili nengovo.

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 Ungolobhe asaluye shila shishili shihali ya pansi na shizalaulilwe panse. Asaluye hata ivintu ambavyo sagavya bhaziwilwe abhe hantu, whuvibheshe saga hantu ivintu vivileho ni thamani.

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 Awombile eshi ili asahabhe wowonti wali ni sababu wahujinule whilongolela lyakwe.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Husababu yishila Ungolobhe shawombile, isalezi muli muhati ya Kristi uYesu, wafanyishe njele kwa ajili yetu wha Ngolobhe. Aleho haki yetu, golosu na waule.

And because of him you are in Messiah Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Hansi amatokeo, hansi iizu shaliyanga, “Wahujipala, ajipale wha Gosi.”

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
