١ كورنثوس 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ رَسُولًا لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، وَسُوسْتَانِيسُ ٱلْأَخُ،

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

٢ 2 إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، ٱلْمُقَدَّسِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ قِدِّيسِينَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، لَهُمْ وَلَنَا:

to the church of God in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be saints, together with all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

٣ 3 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٤ 4 أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ عَلَى نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لَكُمْ فِي يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.

٥ 5 أَنَّكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ٱسْتَغْنَيْتُمْ فِيهِ فِي كُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ وَكُلِّ عِلْمٍ،

For you have been enriched in him in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,

٦ 6 كَمَا ثُبِّتَتْ فِيكُمْ شَهَادَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you,

٧ 7 حَتَّى إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ نَاقِصِينَ فِي مَوْهِبَةٍ مَّا، وَأَنْتُمْ مُتَوَقِّعُونَ ٱسْتِعْلَانَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

so that you are not lacking in any gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

٨ 8 ٱلَّذِي سَيُثْبِتُكُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ بِلَا لَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

He will strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

٩ 9 أَمِينٌ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ دُعِيتُمْ إِلَى شَرِكَةِ ٱبْنِهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا.

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنَّنِي أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَنْ تَقُولُوا جَمِيعُكُمْ قَوْلًا وَاحِدًا، وَلَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱنْشِقَاقَاتٌ، بَلْ كُونُوا كَامِلِينَ فِي فِكْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَرَأْيٍ وَاحِدٍ،

Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be knit together in the same mind and in the same purpose.

١١ 11 لِأَنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْكُمْ يَا إِخْوَتِي مِنْ أَهْلِ خُلُوِي أَنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ خُصُومَاتٍ.

For it has been disclosed to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe's household, that there are quarrels among you.

١٢ 12 فَأَنَا أَعْنِي هَذَا: أَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا لِبُولُسَ»، وَ«أَنَا لِأَبُلُّوسَ»، وَ«أَنَا لِصَفَا»، وَ«أَنَا لِلْمَسِيحِ».

What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul,” while another says, “I follow Apollos,” or, “I follow Cephas,” or, “I follow Christ.”

١٣ 13 هَلِ ٱنْقَسَمَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ بُولُسَ صُلِبَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ، أَمْ بِٱسْمِ بُولُسَ ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ؟

Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

١٤ 14 أَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُعَمِّدْ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا كِرِيسْبُسَ وَغَايُسَ،

I give thanks to God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

١٥ 15 حَتَّى لَا يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ إِنِّي عَمَّدْتُ بِٱسْمِي.

so that no one may say that I baptized into my own name.

١٦ 16 وَعَمَّدْتُ أَيْضًا بَيْتَ ٱسْتِفَانُوسَ. عَدَا ذَلِكَ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ هَلْ عَمَّدْتُ أَحَدًا آخَرَ،

(I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not recall if I baptized anyone else.)

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ لَمْ يُرْسِلْنِي لِأُعَمِّدَ بَلْ لِأُبَشِّرَ، لَا بِحِكْمَةِ كَلَامٍ لِئَلَّا يَتَعَطَّلَ صَلِيبُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, and not with cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be deprived of its power.

١٨ 18 فَإِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلصَّلِيبِ عِنْدَ ٱلْهَالِكِينَ جَهَالَةٌ، وَأَمَّا عِنْدَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْمُخَلَّصِينَ فَهِيَ قُوَّةُ ٱللهِ،

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

١٩ 19 لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «سَأُبِيدُ حِكْمَةَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ، وَأَرْفُضُ فَهْمَ ٱلْفُهَمَاءِ».

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will nullify.”

٢٠ 20 أَيْنَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ؟ أَيْنَ ٱلْكَاتِبُ؟ أَيْنَ مُبَاحِثُ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ؟ أَلَمْ يُجَهِّلِ ٱللهُ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ؟ (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish? (aiōn g165)

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّهُ إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْعَالَمُ فِي حِكْمَةِ ٱللهِ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱللهَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ، ٱسْتَحْسَنَ ٱللهُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِجَهَالَةِ ٱلْكِرَازَةِ.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of our proclamation to save those who believe.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ يَسْأَلُونَ آيَةً، وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ يَطْلُبُونَ حِكْمَةً،

For Jews ask for a sign and Greeks seek wisdom,

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنَّنَا نَحْنُ نَكْرِزُ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ مَصْلُوبًا: لِلْيَهُودِ عَثْرَةً، وَلِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ جَهَالَةً!

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,

٢٤ 24 وَأَمَّا لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ: يَهُودًا وَيُونَانِيِّينَ، فَبِٱلْمَسِيحِ قُوَّةِ ٱللهِ وَحِكْمَةِ ٱللهِ.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

٢٥ 25 لِأَنَّ جَهَالَةَ ٱللهِ أَحْكَمُ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ! وَضَعْفَ ٱللهِ أَقْوَى مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ!

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

٢٦ 26 فَٱنْظُرُوا دَعْوَتَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ لَيْسَ كَثِيرُونَ حُكَمَاءَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، لَيْسَ كَثِيرُونَ أَقْوِيَاءَ، لَيْسَ كَثِيرُونَ شُرَفَاءَ،

Consider your calling, brothers, that not many of you were wise according to the flesh, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

٢٧ 27 بَلِ ٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ جُهَّالَ ٱلْعَالَمِ لِيُخْزِيَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ. وَٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ ضُعَفَاءَ ٱلْعَالَمِ لِيُخْزِيَ ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءَ.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

٢٨ 28 وَٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ أَدْنِيَاءَ ٱلْعَالَمِ وَٱلْمُزْدَرَى وَغَيْرَ ٱلْمَوْجُودِ لِيُبْطِلَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَ،

God chose what is lowly and despised in the world, things that are regarded as nothing, to nullify the things that are regarded as something,

٢٩ 29 لِكَيْ لَا يَفْتَخِرَ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ أَمَامَهُ.

so that no flesh might boast before God.

٣٠ 30 وَمِنْهُ أَنْتُمْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي صَارَ لَنَا حِكْمَةً مِنَ ٱللهِ وَبِرًّا وَقَدَاسَةً وَفِدَاءً.

It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God, and in whom we have righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

٣١ 31 حَتَّى كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَنِ ٱفْتَخَرَ فَلْيَفْتَخِرْ بِٱلرَّبِّ».

Therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
