1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.
1 Man nag bokk yi, mënuma woon a wax ak yéen ni ay nit ñuy déggal Xelum Yàlla, waaye waroon naa wax ak yéen ni ñuy topp seen nafsu, mel ni ay liir ci seen dund ci Kirist.
2I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;
2 Nàmpaloon naa leen, waaye joxuma leen dugub, ndaxte àttanuleen ko woon, te ba léegi sax àttanuleen ko
3for 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?
3 ci li ngeen di topp seen nafsu. Bu ñeetaan ak xuloo amee ci seen biir, xanaa du loolu mooy wone ne, dangeen a topp seen nafsu, di doxale ni niti àddina?
4For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?
4 Bu kenn yéglee ne: «Man ci Pool laa bokk,» keneen ne: «Man ci Apolos,» ndax jëfewuleen ni niti àddina rekk?
5What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.
5 Kuy Apolos? ak kuy Pool? Nun ay surga rekk lanu, yu ngeen jaare, ba gëm. Te Boroom bi moo sas ku nekk liggéeyam.
6I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
6 Maa jëmbët, Apolos suuxat, waaye Yàlla moo jebbil.
7So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
7 Ki jëmbët nag ak ki suuxat, kenn du ci dara, waaye Yàlla miy jebbil rekk moo am solo.
8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
8 Ki jëmbët ak ki suuxat benn lañu. Teewul nag ku nekk dina jot yool bu tollook liggéeyam.
9For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
9 Nu ngi liggéeyandoo ci liggéeyu Yàlla; yéenay toolu Yàlla, yéenay taaxum Yàlla.
10According 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.
10 Man nag teg naa fondamaa bi, ni tabaxkat bu man liggéeyam, dëppoo ak sas wi ma Yàlla jagleel ci kaw yiwam. Te keneen a ngi tabax ci kaw; waaye na ku nekk teeylu ci ni muy tabaxe.
11For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11 Ci li jëm ci fondamaa bi, kenn mënu fee tëral beneen bu dul bi fi xas a taxaw, muy Yeesu Kirist.
12But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
12 Ku tabax ci kaw fondamaa bi, wurus, xaalis, per, dénk, gittax walla boob,
13each 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.
13 sa liggéey dina fés, ndaxte bés baa koy xamle. Bés boobu dina fenk ni safara, te safara si dina nattu liggéeyu ku nekk.
14If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.
14 Ku sa liggéey dëgër, dinga jot yool.
15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.
15 Waaye ku sa liggéey lakk, dinga ñàkk. Yaw ci sa bopp dinga mucc, waaye mel ni ku rëcc ci safara si.
16Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
16 Xanaa xamuleen ne, yéenay kër Yàlla, te Xelum Yàlla dëkk na ci yéen?
17If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.
17 Ku yàq kër Yàlla gi, Yàlla dina la yàq, ndaxte kër Yàlla gi dafa sell, te yéenay kër googu.
18Let 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.
18 Kon bu kenn nax boppam: su kenn ci yéen tegee boppam boroom xam-xam ci gis-gisu àddina sii, kooku na doon dof, ngir am xam-xam bu wóor.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
19 Ndaxte xam-xamu àddina si, ndof la fa Yàlla. Moom la Mbind mi ne: «Yàlla jàpp na ñu muus ñi, ba seen fiir këppu ci seen kaw.»
20and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.
20 Te it: «Boroom bi xam na xalaati boroom xam-xam yi; xam ne, duñu mujj fenn.»
21Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;
21 Kon nag bu kenn tiitaru ndax nit ñi, ndaxte yéena moom lépp,
22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
22 muy Pool, di Apolos, di Sefas, di àddina, di dund, di dee, di lu am, di luy ñëw; lépp, yéena ko moom.
23and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
23 Te yéen, Kirist a leen moom, te Kirist, Yàllaa ko moom.
