1 Bakolinto 6
1 Na umo pakati palinjamwe ukute mulandu ne muklistu munendi, nicani kutwalana kunkuta yabantu bakunsa? Inga kutakuwa bantu ba Lesa kwambeti bese bapwishe makani awo.
If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!
2 Sena nkamucishi kwambeti baklistu endibo beti bakomboloshe bantu bonse? Nomba lino na amwe nimukomboloshe bantu bonse, sena nkamwela kucikonsha kombolosha milandu ing'ana ing'ana ilico?
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
3 Sena nkamucishi kwambeti nitukomboloshe bangelo? Inga kulyeconi ne bintu byabuyumi bwa pano pacishi capanshi?
Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
4 Neco, nakamuli mwakobana mumakani alico, sena ngamwatwala kubomboloshi bakute kunyanshiwa nemubungano wabantu ba Lesa kwambeti benga bamomboloshe?
So if you need to settle everyday matters, do you appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?
5 Ndambilinga nsulo kwambeti ndimunyufwishe nsoni, sena pakati penu paliya ukute mano uyo welela kombolosha baklistu banendi?
I say this to your shame. Is there really no one among you wise enough to arbitrate between his brothers?
6 Nipacebo cini muklistu lapanga mulandu muklistu munendi nekutwalana kunkuta, caipapo kayi, mulatwalananga ku nkuta yabantu bakunsa kuya kombolola?
Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!
7 Pakupana milandu palwenu mobene cilaleshenga kwambeti mulalilwa kendi nditu. Sena nkamwela kwipishilwa? Sena nkamwela kwibilwa?
The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
8 Nomba amwe mulepishilinga bantu ne kubebila, nsombi caipishishapo kayi, mulebilinga ne baklistu banenu!
Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers!
9 Sena nkamucishi kwambeti babula kululama nteti bakatambule Bwami bwa Lesa? Kamutabepwa nebantu bafule nambi beshikukambilila tumbwanga nambi bapombo nambi bakute lunkumbwa lwakona ciliconse
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts,
10 nambi bakabwalala nambi bakuma nambi bacakolwa nambi batungushi kayi nambi bakapondo. Paliya umo wa bantu aba eshi akatambule Bwami bwa Lesa.
nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 Nabambi mulinjamwe encomwalikuba, nsombi lino mwalaswepeshewa, mwalasanduka kuba bantu ba Lesa, mwalaba balulama pamenso pa Lesa kupitila mu Lina lya Mwami Yesu Klistu, kayi ne mu Mushimu wa Lesa wetu.
And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
12 Ame nganjinsa bintu bingi, nsombi ntebyo byonse byela kunyamfwilisha sobwe. Byonse ngandibinsa, nomba nteti nkabe musha kulibyo sobwe.
“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.
13 Cakulya nicishikwingila mulibunda, nalyo libunda nilishikutambula cakulya. Nsombi Lesa nakabipwishe byonse bibili. Mubili wamuntu ntewo wakutwala kubupombo, pakwinga emubili wa Mwami, kayi endiye mwine mubili.
“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
14 Pakwinga Lesa walamupundusha kubafu Mwami Yesu, nenjafwe nakatupundushe kubafu mungofu shakendi.
By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also.
15 Mucishi cena kwambeti mibili yenu nibilama bya mubili wa Klistu, neco sena ngamanta cilama camubili wa Klistu nekuya kupamankanya pamo ne mubili wa mutukashi mufule? Nkacela kwinshika!
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
16 Mpani nkamucishi kwambeti mutuloba lapamankanyanga mubili wakendi kumutukashi mufule bakute kuba mubili umo. Mabala a Lesa alambanga mwakutasoleka kwambeti “Babili nibakabe mubili umo.”
Or don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”
17 Nomba uyo nendi lapamankananga ne Mwami ukute kuba pamo nendi mu mushimu.
But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.
18 Bulekeni bupombo. Bwipishi bonse muntu mbwakute kwinsa nkabukute kukumya mubili wakendi, nsombi mufule ukute kusamfwanya mubili wakendi mwine.
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
19 Sena nkamucishi kwambeti mubili wenu eng'anda ya Mushimu Uswepa uwo ukute kwikala mulinjamwe ngomwalapewa ne Lesa? Ecebo cakendi nkamulipo pacenu mwenka moba Lesa,
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 uyo walamula ne mulo wapelu, neco sebenseshani mibili yenu mwabulemu.
you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
