1 Abhakorintho 1
1 U Paulo, wakiziwilwe nu Kristi Yesu abhe sontezwi whimagano ga Ngolobhe, nu Sosthene wholo wetu,
Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
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 assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 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 Christ!
4 Insiku zyonti uhunsalifwa Ongolobhe wane kwa ajili yenyu, afwatanaje ni neema ya Ngolobhe ambayo uKristi uYesu abhapiye.
I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,
5 Abhawombile abhe bhatabhazi katika kila idala, katika ayanje pamoja ni njele zyonti.
that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,
6 Abhawombile atabhazi, hansi usimishizi ahusu uKristi aje ahakikizwe abhe lyoli peka nawo.
according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,
7 Eshi sagamopongoshewa ikalama zishimoyo, hansi shamuli ni hamu ya golele ugubulwe wa Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi.
so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8 Ayihubhaimalisya amwe pia hadi humwisho, ili musalaumiwe isiku lya Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 Ungolobhe golosu wabhakwizizye amwe katika uwushirika wa mwanawakwe, uYesu kristi Ugosi wetu.
faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ 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.
And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,
11 Huje abhantu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhambozezye aje huli amalehano gagahendela mumiongoni mwenyu.
for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are 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”.
and I say this, that each one of you saith, 'I, indeed, am of Paul' — 'and I of Apollos,' — 'and I of Cephas,' — 'and I of Christ.'
13 Je! uKristi agabhanyishe? Je! uPaulo ayambele kwa ajili yenyu? Je! mwahozewelwe whitawa lya Paulo?
Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
14 Ihusalifwa Ungolobhe aje saga na mozizye wowonti, ila u Krispo nu Gayo.
I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —
15 Ene yali huje hamuna wowonti wayanje aje mwahozewelwe whitawa lyane.
that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;
16 (Na nawozizye bha munyumba ya Stephania. Hani yepo, sigihelewa aje namozizye umuntu uwenje wowonti).
and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.
17 Afwatanaje U Kristi sagwantumile ahozye ila alombelele ibhangili. Sagaantumile alombelele hunongwa zinjele yishibinadamu, ili aje engovo yikhobhehanyo lya Kristi lisahefwewe.
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;
18 Afwatanaje intumi yikhobhehanyo walangani whabhala bhabhafwa. Ila whabhala ambao Ongolobhe ahubhaokoa, ngovo wha Ngolobhe.
for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,
19 Afwatanaje isimbililwe, “Nayihuyinanganya injele yibhibusala. Nayiunganya uwelewa wibhi njele.”
for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'
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 the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
21 Afume ense ileho katika injele yakwe sagayamenye Ongolobhe, yasongwezye Ongolobhe katika ukwelengusu wawo walambele ili whuwaule bhala bhabhawheteha.
for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
22 Whubhayahudi bhawozelezya iishara zimayele na Abhayunani bhawhanza ihekima.
Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
23 Eshi tilombelela uKristi wayembele, wahali visyo wha Bhayahudi na kwelengusu wha Bhayunani.
also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,
24 Lakini whabhala ambawo bhakwiziwe no Ngolobhe, Abhayahudi tihunobhelela uKristi hansi engovo ninjele ya Ngolobhe.
and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ 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 men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
26 Enyi ukwiziwe wa Ngolobhe humwanya yenyu, kolo nu yelombo bhane. Sagabhinji bhenyu mwapapwilwe katika uwugosi.
for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
27 Ila Ungolobhe asaluye ivintu ivekwelengusu vyense ili huvisosye vivilininjele. Ungolobhe asaluye shili zohofu panse hushisosye shishili nengovo.
but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put 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 the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —
29 Awombile eshi ili asahabhe wowonti wali ni sababu wahujinule whilongolela lyakwe.
that no flesh may glory before Him;
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 of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
31 Hansi amatokeo, hansi iizu shaliyanga, “Wahujipala, ajipale wha Gosi.”
that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'
