¹Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

¹Ay atmaten, ur ufiɣ ara amek ara wen-mmeslayeɣ am akken țmeslayeɣ i yemdanen yesɛan Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, meɛna mmeslayeɣ-awen am yemdanen n ddunit, am wid yellan d arrac deg ubrid n Lmasiḥ.

²I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

²Fkiɣ-awen ayefki mačči d aɣṛum axaṭer aɣṛum ur as-tezmirem ara, yerna ar tura ur as-tezmirem ara, mazal-ikkun tețɛicim s lebɣi n tnefsit nwen.

³for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?

³Imi mazal gar-awen tismin d umceččew, tbeggnem-d belli mazal ikkun tețɛicim s lɛeqliya-nwen yerna tleḥḥum am yemdanen n ddunit.

⁴For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

⁴M'ara yini yiwen deg-wen : « nekk ddiɣ d Bulus », wayeḍ ad yini : « Nekk țekkiɣ d Abulus » ; eɛni ayagi mačči d lɛeqliya n ddunit ?

⁵Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

⁵D acu-t Abulus, d acu-t Bulus ? D iqeddacen kan i kkun-id-yewwin aț-țamnem s Lmasiḥ ! Yal yiwen deg-nneɣ ixeddem ayen i s-d-yefka Sidi Ṛebbi a t-yexdem.

⁶I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

⁶Nekk ẓẓiɣ imɣi, Abulus issew-it, meɛna d Sidi Ṛebbi i t-issegman.

⁷So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

⁷Ihi mačči d win ițeẓẓun neɣ d win yesswayen i gesɛan azal meɛna d Sidi Ṛebbi yessegmuyen.

⁸Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

⁸Win ițeẓẓun d win yesswayen ɛedlen ; mkul yiwen a s-yerr Sidi Ṛebbi s wakken yuklal di lxedma-s.

⁹For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.

⁹Axaṭer aql-aɣ neddukkel d iqeddacen ɣef lecɣal n Sidi Ṛebbi. Kunwi d iger i gxeddem Sidi Ṛebbi, d axxam i gbennu.

¹⁰According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

¹⁰S ṛṛeḥma i yi-d-yefka Sidi Ṛebbi, am umusnaw n lebni, nekk sserseɣ lsas, wayeḍ yebna fell-as ; meɛna yal yiwen ad iḥader amek ara yebnu.

¹¹For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹¹Yiwen ur izmir ad issers lsas nniḍen deg wemkan n win yersen yakan : Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

¹²But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

¹²Ma yella win yebnan ɣef lsas-agi ama s ddheb, ama s lfeṭṭa, ama s yeẓra ɣlayen, ama s wesɣaṛ neɣ s wusaɣuṛ d walim,

¹³each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

¹³mkul yiwen a d-iban ccɣel-is ass n lḥisab, axaṭer mkul ccɣel ad iɛeddi di tmes ; ț-țimes ara d-ibeggnen lecɣal n yal yiwen ma seḥḥan neɣ ur ṣeḥḥan ara.

¹⁴If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

¹⁴Win yebnan ɣef lsas, ur t-tečči ara tmes wayen akken yebna, a t-id-yaweḍ lxiṛ ameqqran ;

¹⁵If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

¹⁵ma d win iwumi tečča tmes wayen yexdem, a s-iṛuḥ lxiṛ-is ; ma d nețța ad ițțusellek, am win izegren times imneɛ.

¹⁶Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

¹⁶Ur teẓrim ara belli kunwi d lǧameɛ n Sidi Ṛebbi i tellam ? Ur teẓrim ara belli Ṛṛuḥ-is yezdeɣ deg-wen ?

¹⁷If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.

¹⁷Ihi win yesseɣlin axxam n Sidi Ṛebbi, Sidi Ṛebbi a t-isseɣli axaṭer axxam n Sidi Ṛebbi d imqeddes, d kunwi i d axxam-is.

¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

¹⁸Ḥadret ad yili win ara iɣuṛṛen iman-is ! Ma yella gar-awen win iḥesben iman-is d aɛeqli di ddunit-a, ilaq ad yuɣal d amehbul iwakken ad yili d aɛeqli.

¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.” Job 5:13

¹⁹Axaṭer tamusni n ddunit-agi, ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi d lehbala. Tira iqedsen nnant-ed : Sidi Ṛebbi yețțeṭṭef imusnawen di tḥila-nsen.

²⁰And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.” Psalm 94:11

²⁰Yura daɣen : Sidi Ṛebbi yessen ixemmimen n imusnawen, yeẓra belli d ixemmimen ur nesɛi azal.

²¹Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

²¹Ḥadret ad yili win ara izuxxen s yemdanen, axaṭer kullec d ayla nwen ;

²²whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

²²Bulus, Abulus neɣ Buṭrus, ddunit, tudert, lmut, lweqt-a d lweqt i d-iteddun, kullec d ayla-nwen ;

²³and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

²³kunwi d ayla n Lmasiḥ, Lmasiḥ d ayla n Sidi Ṛebbi.
