1 Corinthians 16
1 Ǹjẹ́ ní ti ìdáwó fún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, bí mo tí wí fún àwọn ìjọ Galatia, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ní kí ẹ ṣe.
Now concerning the collection for the saints, according to the directions which I gave to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.
2 Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní ọ̀sẹ̀, kí olúkúlùkù yín fi sínú ìṣúra lọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ̀ ni apá kan, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe rere fún ún, ki ó má ṣe si ìkójọ nígbà tí mo bá dé.
Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come.
3 Àti nígbà ti mo bá dé, àwọn ẹni tí ẹ bá yàn, àwọn ni èmi ó rán láti mú ẹ̀bùn yín gòkè lọ si Jerusalẹmu.
And when I am with you, I will send with letters whomever you may approve to carry your bounty to Jerusalem;
4 Bí ó bá sì yẹ kí èmí lọ pẹ̀lú, wọn ó sì bá mi lọ.
and if it be worth while for me to go also, they shall go with me.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò tọ̀ yin wá, nígbà tí èmí bá ti kọjá láàrín Makedonia: nítorí èmi yóò kọjá láàrín Makedonia.
Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am about to pass through Macedonia;
6 Bóyá èmi ó sì dúró pẹ̀lú yín, tàbí kí n tilẹ̀ lo àkókò òtútù, ki ẹ̀yin lé sìn mí ni ọ̀nà àjò mí, níbikíbi tí mo bá ń lọ.
and perhaps I may remain, or even spend the winter with you, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I may be going.
7 Nítorí èmi kò fẹ́ kan ri yín kí èmi sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ kọjá lọ; nítorí èmi ń retí àti dúró lọ́dọ̀ yín díẹ̀, bí Olúwa bá fẹ́.
For I am unwilling to see you now in passing; for I hope to stay some time with you if the Lord permit.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò dúró ni Efesu títí dí Pentikosti.
But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost;
9 Nítorí pé ìlẹ̀kùn ńlá láti ṣe iṣẹ́ gidi ṣí sílẹ̀ fún mí, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sì ni àwọn ọ̀tá tí ń bẹ.
for a door hath been opened to me great and effective, and there are many adversaries.
10 Ǹjẹ́ bí Timotiu bá dé, ẹ jẹ́ kí ó wà lọ́dọ̀ yín láìbẹ̀rù, nítorí òun ń ṣé iṣẹ́ Olúwa, bí èmi pẹ̀lú ti ń ṣe.
Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he is laboring in the work of the Lord, as I am;
11 Nítorí náà kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe kẹ́gàn rẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ sín ín jáde lọ́nà àjò ni àlàáfíà, kí òun lè tọ̀ mí wá; nítorí tí èmí ń fi ojú sí ọ̀nà fún wíwá rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin.
let no one therefore despise him. But conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ti Apollo arákùnrin wa, mo bẹ̀ ẹ́ púpọ̀ láti tọ̀ yín wá pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ rárá láti wà nísinsin yìí, ṣùgbọ́n òun yóò wá nígbà tí ààyè bá ṣí sílẹ̀ fún un.
As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity.
13 Ẹ máa ṣọ́ra, ẹ dúró ṣinṣin nínú ìgbàgbọ́, ẹ ṣe bi ọkùnrin tí ó ní ìgboyà, ẹ jẹ́ alágbára.
Watch, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong;
14 Ẹ máa ṣe ohun gbogbo nínú ìfẹ́.
let all your doings be in love.
15 Ǹjẹ́ mo bẹ̀ yín ará, ẹ ṣá mọ ilé Stefana pé, àwọn ni ẹni àkọ́kọ́ tó gba Jesu ní Akaia, àti pé, wọn sì tí fi ará wọn fún iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
And I exhort you, brethren, —ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy, —
16 Kí ẹ̀yin tẹríba fún irú àwọn báwọ̀nyí, àti fún olúkúlùkù olùbáṣiṣẹ́ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú wa tí ó sì ń ṣe làálàá.
that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth.
17 Mo láyọ̀ fún wíwá Stefana àti Fortunatu àti Akaiku, nítorí èyí tí ó kù nípá tí yín wọ́n ti fi kún un.
I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied;
18 Nítorí tí wọ́n tu ẹ̀mí mí lára àti tiyín: nítorí náà, ẹ máa gba irú àwọn ti ó rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Pay regard then to those that are such.
19 Àwọn ìjọ ni Asia kí í yín. Akuila àti Priskilla kí í yín púpọ̀ nínú Olúwa, pẹ̀lú ìjọ tí ó wà ni ilé wọn.
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord.
20 Gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin kí í yín. Ẹ fi ìfẹnukonu mímọ́ kí ara yín.
All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21 Ìkíni ti èmi Paulu, láti ọwọ́ èmi tìkára mi wá.
The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni kò bá ní ìfẹ́ Jesu Kristi Olúwa, jẹ́ kí ó dì ẹni ìfibú. Máa bọ Olúwa wa!
If any one loveth not the Lord, let him be accursed! The Lord is at hand.
23 Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Jesu Kristi Olúwa kí ó wà pẹ̀lú yín!
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24 Ìfẹ́ mi wá pẹ̀lú gbogbo yín nínú Kristi Jesu. Àmín.
My love is with you all in Christ Jesus.
