1 Abhakorintho 1
1 U Paulo, wakiziwilwe nu Kristi Yesu abhe sontezwi whimagano ga Ngolobhe, nu Sosthene wholo wetu,
Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and Sosthenes, his 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 Church of God at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all, wherever they are, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.
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 am always thanking God on your behalf, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus;
5 Abhawombile abhe bhatabhazi katika kila idala, katika ayanje pamoja ni njele zyonti.
that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge
6 Abhawombile atabhazi, hansi usimishizi ahusu uKristi aje ahakikizwe abhe lyoli peka nawo.
(for thus my witness for Christ was confirmed among you);
7 Eshi sagamopongoshewa ikalama zishimoyo, hansi shamuli ni hamu ya golele ugubulwe wa Gosi wetu uYesu uKristi.
so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Ayihubhaimalisya amwe pia hadi humwisho, ili musalaumiwe isiku lya Gosi wetu uYesu Kristi.
He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Ungolobhe golosu wabhakwizizye amwe katika uwushirika wa mwanawakwe, uYesu kristi Ugosi wetu.
Faithful is the God by whom you were called into fellowship with 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.
Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper.
11 Huje abhantu bha munyumba ya Kloe bhambozezye aje huli amalehano gagahendela mumiongoni mwenyu.
For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe’s people, that there are dissensions 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”.
I mean by this that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul"; another, "I of Apollos"; another, "I of Cephas"; another, "I of Christ."
13 Je! uKristi agabhanyishe? Je! uPaulo ayambele kwa ajili yenyu? Je! mwahozewelwe whitawa lya Paulo?
Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?
14 Ihusalifwa Ungolobhe aje saga na mozizye wowonti, ila u Krispo nu Gayo.
I am thankful to 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 can say you were baptized in my name.
16 (Na nawozizye bha munyumba ya Stephania. Hani yepo, sigihelewa aje namozizye umuntu uwenje wowonti).
Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else.
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 think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.
18 Afwatanaje intumi yikhobhehanyo walangani whabhala bhabhafwa. Ila whabhala ambao Ongolobhe ahubhaokoa, ngovo wha Ngolobhe.
For the message of the Cross is indeed for those on their way to destruction, foolishness; but for us who are on our way to salvation it is the power of God.
19 Afwatanaje isimbililwe, “Nayihuyinanganya injele yibhibusala. Nayiunganya uwelewa wibhi njele.”
For thus it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the philosophers, And the prudence of the prudent will I confound.
20 Awhi umuntu winjele? awhi winsukulu? awhi wayanje washawishi wense ene? Aje, Ungolobhe sagaayigeuzizye injele yense ene abhe ukwelengusu? (aiōn g165)
Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age - where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy 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 when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.
22 Whubhayahudi bhawozelezya iishara zimayele na Abhayunani bhawhanza ihekima.
Jews continue to ask for miracles and Greeks are ever wanting philosophy,
23 Eshi tilombelela uKristi wayembele, wahali visyo wha Bhayahudi na kwelengusu wha Bhayunani.
but we come preaching a crucified Messiah - to Jews a stumbling- block, to Greeks foolishness,
24 Lakini whabhala ambawo bhakwiziwe no Ngolobhe, Abhayahudi tihunobhelela uKristi hansi engovo ninjele ya Ngolobhe.
but to those who are the called, whether Jews or 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.
For 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 consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.
27 Ila Ungolobhe asaluye ivintu ivekwelengusu vyense ili huvisosye vivilininjele. Ungolobhe asaluye shili zohofu panse hushisosye shishili nengovo.
No, God has chosen the world’s folly to confound its philosophy; and the world’s weakness to confound its strength.
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.
The world’s base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;
29 Awombile eshi ili asahabhe wowonti wali ni sababu wahujinule whilongolela lyakwe.
so that no mortal man should glory in his presence.
30 Husababu yishila Ungolobhe shawombile, isalezi muli muhati ya Kristi uYesu, wafanyishe njele kwa ajili yetu wha Ngolobhe. Aleho haki yetu, golosu na waule.
It is of him that you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 Hansi amatokeo, hansi iizu shaliyanga, “Wahujipala, ajipale wha Gosi.”
so that as Scripture says, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
