1 Abhakorintho 4
1 Eshi umuntu aliwazwe ante aje wawomba mbombo wa Kristi wemelezi hwa siri zya Ngolobhe.
Accordingly, let man consider us to be ministers of Christ and attendants of the mysteries of God.
2 Hueli shashihwaziwa huwemelezi huje wawe wasuwelwa.
Here and now, it is required of attendants that each one be found to be faithful.
3 Ila huline ane hantu hadodo hani aje ilongwa namwe, au indongwa ya awantu. Aje sagaihujilonga ane nimwene.
But as for me, it is such a small thing to be judged by you, or by the age of mankind. And neither do I judge myself.
4 Saga ihujilonga ni mwene ane sagaje ane indi nuugolosu yu Bwana yahundonga.
For I have nothing on my conscience. But I am not justified by this. For the Lord is the One who judges me.
5 Eshi msahatamshe liolionti ilya lonje shagasele amasala gahwezye uBwana. Ahaigalete apazeru amambo gagafisilwe mhinsi na hugaweshe pazelu gahumoyo. Wekaweka ahaiposhela imbombo zyakwe afume hua Ngolobhe.
And so, do not choose to judge before the time, until the Lord returns. He will illuminate the hidden things of the darkness, and he will make manifest the decisions of hearts. And then each one shall have praise from God.
6 Eshi muasahala muwalendu wane ane ni mwene nu Apolo inshilie idala eli kwaajili yenyu. Aje afume humwetu muwajie amanyile injango usahawale hanii shazyandihwe, “Huje nomo hataweka yali na malingo hwa wamwawo.
And so, brothers, I have presented these things in myself and in Apollo, for your sakes, so that you may learn, through us, that no one should be inflated against one person and for another, not beyond what has been written.
7 Eshi yunanu yahwenye payo nu wamwao? Henu ulinaho awe, saga uhaposheye wene? Nkuhaposheye nkasanga mwahawombile esho?
For what distinguishes you from another? And what do you have that you have not received? But if you have received it, why do you glory, as if you had not received it?
8 Shatayari mlinavyo vyonti vyamwanzanga! Shatayari mliwakami! Shamwandile atawale-aje mkhente haani ashile ate! Lioli, ihuwalawila mkhate uwinza aje tikhante peka namwe.
So, now you have been filled, and now you have been made wealthy, as if to reign without us? But I wish that you would reign, so that we, too, might reign with you!
9 Isewa aje Ungolobhe atiweshele ate awe watume hutuloleshie uumalishilo usitari wa makutanilo aje wantu wawalongwilwe abudye. Tilije watamasha munsi, awatumihwawantu.
For I think that God has presented us as the last Apostles, as those destined for death. For we have been made into a spectacle for the world, and for Angels, and for men.
10 Ate lilinje walema hwa Kristi, lakini ninyi ni wenye hekima katika Kristo. Tu wanyonge, lakini amwe mlini naha mlinishishima, lakini ate watisyosyezye.
So we are fools because of Christ, but you are discerning in Christ? We are weak, but you are strong? You are noble, but we are ignoble?
11 Hata isala ezi tihinizala na tumele, sagatilina menda, tukhomwa, sagatuli napakhale.
Even to this very hour, we hunger and thirst, and we are naked and repeatedly beaten, and we are unsteady.
12 Tuwomba imbombo hani hu nyowezyetu tetete. Watisosyezye, tihuwasaya.
And we labor, working with our own hands. We are slandered, and so we bless. We suffer and endure persecution.
13 Lwatilawa tujimba. Lwatilingwa tupoma myee. Tileho, wahutiwazizya aje sagatuleho munsi tilitakataka humambo gonti.
We are cursed, and so we pray. We have become like the refuse of this world, like the reside of everything, even until now.
14 Sagaihwandia amambo ego huwasosye ila huwagomosye amwe avye wana wane wimbaganile.
I am not writing these things in order to confound you, but in order to admonish you, as my dearest sons.
15 Hata nkhamli wafundizi winchi hwa Kristi, sagamlina wadaada winchi. Ane indi daada wenyu hwa Yesu Ukristi ashilile inzwi.
For you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but not so many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, through the Gospel, I have begotten you.
16 Eshi ihumbalawa mfuante ane.
Therefore, I beg you, be imitators of me, just as I am of Christ.
17 Esho shanahazanga aje itume uTimotheo humwenyu yigene ane mwana ugolosu hwa Bwana. Anza huwawuzisye amadala gane hwa Yesu nanzi shimanyizya iviwanza vivileho ponti.
For this reason, I have sent you Timothy, who is my dearest son, and who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere, in every church.
18 Eshi awamo walinamalingo wawomba aje sangainza humwenyu.
Certain persons have become inflated in thinking that I would not return to you.
19 Ane ihuenza humwenyu shishi uBwana nkasongwe. Hwinzamanye aje sanganjango zyao wene wawalina malingo, imbalahuzyenye ingovu zyao.
But I will return to you soon, if the Lord is willing. And I will consider, not the words of those who are inflated, but the virtue.
20 Umwene wa Ngolobhe sangaulini njago wene uwene uliwi ngovu.
For the kingdom of God is not in words, but in virtue.
21 Mhwanza yenu? Inenze nu desa au inenze nu ulugano wa Ipepo inyinza iya pumu?
What would you prefer? Should I return to you with a rod, or with charity and a spirit of meekness?
