1 Abhakorintho 3

1 Nane, kolo nuyilombo bhane, saga nayanjile namwe hansi abhantu bhishimoyo, hansi abhantu bhebhele. Hansi abhana abhadodo wha Kristi.

And I, my Brethren, could not talk with you, as with spiritual persons, but as with the carnal, as with babes in Messiah.

2 Nabhamwelezezye izibha sagenyama, afwatanaje sagamwali tayali alye inyama. Nahata isalezi sagamulitayali.

I gave you milk, and did not give you solid food: for ye were not then able to receive it; and even now, ye are not able.

3 Afwatanaje amwe musele mlibhebele. Afwatanaje uwivu na madiho galoleha mmiongoni mwenyu. Eshi sagamukhala alengane nobele, nahuje, sagamujenda hansi ikawaida yishibinadamu?

For ye are still in the flesh. For, as there are among you envying, and contention, and parties, are ye not carnal, and walking in the flesh?

4 Afwatanaje weka ayanga, “Ihumwanza u Paulo” Uwamwawo ayanga,” ihumwanza u Apolo,” sagamukhala hansi abhanadamu?

For, while one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5 U Apolo yunani? nu Paulo yunanu? Bhatumi bhola wamwa mweteshe, whola wowonti ugosi apelile ijukumu.

For, who is Paul, or who is Apollos, but the ministers by whom ye believed, each one as the Lord gave to him?

6 Ane natolile, u Apolo aponyizye amenze, ila Ongolobhe akuzizye.

I planted, and Apollos watered; but God produced the growth.

7 Eshi, watolile na waponyizye amenze saga shoshonti. Ila Ungolobhe wakuzya.

Not therefore he that planted, is to be accounted of, nor he that watered, but God who produced the growth.

8 Eshi watota na waponya amenze wonti hantu heka, na kila weka aiposhela umushahala gwake alengane ni mbombo yakwe.

And he that planted, and he that watered are on a par; each receiveth his reward, according to his labor.

9 Afwatanaje ate tilibhawomba mbombo bha Ngolobhe, amwe muli bustani ya Ngolobhe, lijengo lya Ngolobhe.

For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.

10 Alengane ni neema ya Ngolobhe yimpewilwe hansi uzenji ugosi, naubheshele umusingi, nu wamwawo azenga pamwanya yakwe. Ila umuntu abhe shinza lwazenga pamwanya yakwe.

According to the grace of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it.

11 Alenganaje nomo uwamwawo wawezya azenje umusingi uwamwawo hani yaguguzengwilwe, ambago yu Yesu Kristi.

For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.

12 Isalezi, nkesho weka wenyu azenga pamwa yakwe whiwelihela, ihela, amawe gisamani, amkwi, amasole, au amatondo,

And if any one buildeth on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble;

13 imbombo yakwe yayibhawazi, huzelu wishasenya wayihulolesya. Afwatanaje yailolesewa numoto. Umoto gwailenga uwinza wimbombo yakila weka shawombile.

the work of each will be exposed to view; for the day will expose it; because it is to be tested by fire; and the fire will disclose the work of each, of what sort it is.

14 Nkesho shoshonti umuntu shazenjile shaisyala, umwene aiposhela izawadi.

And that builder whose work shall endure, will receive his reward.

15 Nkesho imbombo ya muntu yayiteketela humoto, ayipata ihasala. Ila umwene yoyo ayiwawuliwa, hansi shila ayepile mumoto.

And he, whose work shall burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from the fire.

16 Saga mumenye aje amwe mlishibhanza sha Ngolobhe naje uMpepo wa Ngolobhe akhala muhati yenyu?

Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God? and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 Nkesho umuntu ahuli nanganya ishibhanza sha Ngolobhe, Ongolobhe uyihunanganya umuntu ola. Afwatanaje ishibhanza sha Ngolobhe shinza, nesho namwe.

Whoever shall mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

18 Untu asajikhopele mwene, nkesho wowonti mwikundi lenyu asebha aje ali ninjele katika uwakati owu, abhe hansi “ukwelengusu” ndiyo abhabhe ninjele. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself. Whoever among you thinketh that he is wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 Afwatanaje injele yensene ukwelengusu whilongolela lya Ngolobhe, Afwatanaje isimbiwilwe, “Bhakhata abhenjele huhila zyawo”

For the wisdom of this world is fatuity with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their own craftiness.

20 Na tena “Ugosi azimenye ensewo bhinjele nuubatili.”

And again: The Lord knoweth the devices of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Esho umuntu asajituntumulile abhanadamu! Afwatanaje ivintu vyonti vyenyu.

Wherefore, let no one glory in men: for all things are yours;

22 Nke yu Paulo, au yu Apolo au yu Kefa, au anse, au khalo, au afwe, au vintu vivileho, au vyavyaibha. Vyonti vyenyu,

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are yours:

23 namwe ni wa Kristi nu Kristi wa Ngolobhe.

and ye are Messiah's, and Messiah is God's.
