1 Corinthians 3
1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.
Nanye, bhamula bhasu na bhayala bhasu, nitalomele nemwe kuti lwa bhanu bhechinyamwoyo, nawe lwa bhanu bhechinyamubhili. Na lwa bhana bhalela mu Kristo.
2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;
Nabhanywesishe amata na jitali nyama, kulwokubha aliga mutemaliliye okulya jinyama. Na woli muchali kwimalilila.
3 for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?
Kulwokubha emwe muchali bhachinyamubhili. Kulwokubha lifubha no kwikuya okubhonekana agati yemwe. Angu, mutakwikala okulubhana no mubhili, na angu, mutakulibhata lwakutyo jibheile abhana bhanu?
4 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?
Kulwokubha oumwi kaikati, “Enimulubha Paulo” Oundi kaikati “Enimulubha Apolo,” mutakwikala lwa bhana bhanu?
5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.
Apolo niga? na Paulo niga? Abhakosi bha unu mwikilisishe, bhuli unu Latabhugenyi ayanile okukola.
6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Anye nayambile, Apolo natako amanji, nawe Nyamuanga nakusha.
7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Kulwejo, atalyati unu ayambile nolo unu ateeko amanji atana chona chona. Nawe ni Nyamuanga unu kakusha.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Woli unu kayamba na unu katako amanji bhona ni sawa, na bhuli umwi kalamila omuyelo okulubhana ne milimu jae.
9 For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building.
Kulwokubha eswe chili bhakosi bha Nyamuanga, emwe ni migunda ja Nyamuanga, inyumba ya Nyamuanga.
10 According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.
Okusokana ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga chinu nayanibhwe kuti mumbaki mukulu, nateewo omusingi, no oundi nombaka ingulu yagwo. Nawe omunu nabhwe mulengelesi kutyo kombakako ingulu yae.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Kulwokubha atalio undi unu katula okumbaka omusingi ogundi okukila gunu gumbakilwe, gunu guli Yesu Kristo.
12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Woli, labha oumwi mwimwe kombaka ingulu yae kwa jijaabhu, Jiela, amabhui go bhugusi bhunene, amati, obhunyasi, nolo amabhabhi,
13 each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.
omulimu gwae gulisululwa, kwo bhwelu bhwa mumwisi bhuliisulula. Kulwokubha ilisululwa no mulilo. Omulilo gulilegeja obhwekisi bhwo mulimu gwa bhuli munu kutyo akolele.
14 If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.
Labha chona chona chinu omunu chinu ombakile chikasigala, omwene alibhona omuyelo.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.
Nawe labha omulimu gwo munu gukalungula kwo mulilo, atalibhona muyelo. Nawe omwene alichungulwa, lwakutyo kasoka mumulilo.
16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Mutakumenya ati emwe muli eyekalu lya Nyamuanga na ati Omwoyo gwa Nyamuanga gwikaye munda yemwe?
17 If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
Labha omunu akalinyamula liyekalu lya Nyamuanga, Nyamuanga kamunyamula omunu uliya. Kulwokubha liyekalu lya Nyamuanga ni lyelu, na kutyo nemwe.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Omunu atajakwijiga omwene, labha wona wona mwimwe ketogelati ali no bhwengeso ku mwanya gunu, nabhe lwo “mumumu” niwo kabha mwengeso. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
Kulwokubha obhwengeso bhwa kuchalo chinu ni bhumumu imbele ya Nyamuanga, Kulwokubha jandikilwe, “Kakoma abho bhwengeso kubhulige lige bhwebhwe”
20 and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.
Na lindi “Latabhugenyi kamenya obhwiganilisha bhwa bhengeso ati ni bhutamu tamu.”
21 Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;
Kulwejo omunu ataja kwikuisha abhana bhanu! Kulwokubha ebhinu bhyona ni bhyemwe.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
Labha ni Paulo, nolo Apolo, nolo Kefa, nolo echalo, nolo obhulame, nolo lufu, nolo bhinu bhinu bhilio, nolo bhinu bhilibhao. Byona ni bhyemwe.
23 and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
nemwe muli bha Kristo na Kristo niwa Nyamuanga.
