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.
1And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly — as to babes in Christ;
2 Nàmpaloon naa leen, waaye joxuma leen dugub, ndaxte àttanuleen ko woon, te ba léegi sax àttanuleen ko
2with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,
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?
3for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?
4 Bu kenn yéglee ne: «Man ci Pool laa bokk,» keneen ne: «Man ci Apolos,» ndax jëfewuleen ni niti àddina rekk?
4for when one may say, `I, indeed, am of Paul;` and another, `I — of Apollos;` are ye not fleshly?
5 Kuy Apolos? ak kuy Pool? Nun ay surga rekk lanu, yu ngeen jaare, ba gëm. Te Boroom bi moo sas ku nekk liggéeyam.
5Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?
6 Maa jëmbët, Apolos suuxat, waaye Yàlla moo jebbil.
6I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;
7 Ki jëmbët nag ak ki suuxat, kenn du ci dara, waaye Yàlla miy jebbil rekk moo am solo.
7so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;
8 Ki jëmbët ak ki suuxat benn lañu. Teewul nag ku nekk dina jot yool bu tollook liggéeyam.
8and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,
9 Nu ngi liggéeyandoo ci liggéeyu Yàlla; yéenay toolu Yàlla, yéenay taaxum Yàlla.
9for of God we are fellow-workmen; God`s tillage, God`s building ye are.
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.
10According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],
11 Ci li jëm ci fondamaa bi, kenn mënu fee tëral beneen bu dul bi fi xas a taxaw, muy Yeesu Kirist.
11for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;
12 Ku tabax ci kaw fondamaa bi, wurus, xaalis, per, dénk, gittax walla boob,
12and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw —
13 sa liggéey dina fés, ndaxte bés baa koy xamle. Bés boobu dina fenk ni safara, te safara si dina nattu liggéeyu ku nekk.
13of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;
14 Ku sa liggéey dëgër, dinga jot yool.
14if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;
15 Waaye ku sa liggéey lakk, dinga ñàkk. Yaw ci sa bopp dinga mucc, waaye mel ni ku rëcc ci safara si.
15if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.
16 Xanaa xamuleen ne, yéenay kër Yàlla, te Xelum Yàlla dëkk na ci yéen?
16have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you?
17 Ku yàq kër Yàlla gi, Yàlla dina la yàq, ndaxte kër Yàlla gi dafa sell, te yéenay kër googu.
17if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.
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.
18Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age — let him become a fool, that he may become wise,
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.»
19for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;`
20 Te it: «Boroom bi xam na xalaati boroom xam-xam yi; xam ne, duñu mujj fenn.»
20and again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.`
21 Kon nag bu kenn tiitaru ndax nit ñi, ndaxte yéena moom lépp,
21So then, let no one glory in men, for all things 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.
22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be — all are yours,
23 Te yéen, Kirist a leen moom, te Kirist, Yàllaa ko moom.
23and ye [are] Christ`s, and Christ [is] God`s.
