1 Korinthians 1

1 Yesu Kristi ni kpayem lrji ayo Bulus du ri nimi bi wa wa tindu niwu ni kpayem Bachi ni wawu vayimbu sastanisu.

Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes,

2 Ni biwa bahe ni tra wubre irji ni Korinti nbi wa ba ke be ni ba. ninde irji da yo ba nisan ninde waba glaba niyi Yesu ni bi waba he ko nintse da kpayem ninde irji wumba ni wumbu.

to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

3 Du alheri ma nison wubima du hei niyi wanda ni Rji Bachi Timbu wa wawu Yesu Kristi

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

4 Me kiri ni irji mu cacu ni tu mbi don alheri wa Bachi Kristi Yesu ni noyia.

I give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;

5 Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.

because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge;

6 Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.

as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you;

7 Naki bina wa kpi u ruhu hama na wandi bi gbenbayani u Rji Yesu Kristi.

so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 Da du yi kpayemen didi ine har hi kle du ba na ka tou yi ni latre ni ye Yesu Kristi na.

who will also establish you unblamable unto the end in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Irji wawuyi wu amina wayata yoni mi bi zumata bi waba yi biyaya ninde vrema Yesu Kristi Bachi mbu

God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 Zi za'a me bre yi mir vayi ninde Yesu Kristi na gatumbi tie kankana ni son kanka nikpambi na me bre yi katumbi si son ni suron bi riri ni manufa riri.

But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.

11 Me woh son bi mir vayi miniko kuluwi ba la ni mu andi meme son a he ni yi.

For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 A bari ba tre “Me he ni kogon Bulus” ko me he ni kogon Afolos ko “Me he ni kogon Kefas” ko “Me he ni kogon Yesu Almasihu”.

And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Almasihu agakpama tin kankan? Ba klo Bulus don biyi? Bayi Batisma yiwu ninde Bulus?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Mekiri ni Rji mena yi baptisma niri mbinas me to Kiristus wu Gayus me yi nihawu.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;

15 Na ki ba wanda ni tre bayi baptisma niwu ninde mu.

in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name.

16 (Ime metou me yi Baptisma ni ndi biko Sitifanus, Bayaki me na tou ko meyi Baptisma ni nro na)

But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.

17 Meto irji ana ton me du me ye yi Baptisma na, ama don meye hla tre ma bani wani tre wu wayo ba yada di iko Baci na zama ni kaskanci na

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

18 Naki u tre gicciye na he ma'na nishishi bi wa ba si halakaa na. Ama bi wa ba fe son kasai kasai a hi iko Rji.

For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

19 Ihlan tre ma ahla “me kpa tre hi tice ni ba to zan ko nha me kpa du ichemba timeme. Wa batre ba to zan ko nha.

For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.

20 Wu to zan ko nha ahe nintse? Ina ndi wa tre wawu masani? Ina indi watre niwawu tokpe zan ko nha ni gbugbu'u? Irji na hla wawu kma indi wuce kma zama wawu na. (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? where is the scribe? where is the investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? (aiōn g165)

21 Du gbugbu ni wur wah ni drima anato Irji na wu Irji a sisuron ni biwa da a kpaba u ba kpayem niw-u ninko wotamba wa bla wa'azi

For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

22 U yawudawa ba tre baha ba bida ni alajibai wu helinawa nibaba ba bida ni hikima.

Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

23 Du naki kita khla tre Rji ni gicciyaye tita wu kubza yahudawa ni iri wauta wu helinawa.

but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;

24 Naki biwa irji rhiga yo ba ni yahudawa ni helinawa kyi hla tre irji na yadda a zama gbi gle ma ni hikima Rji.

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

25 Wauta u Rji a zan hikima wundi wureshi gbe-glen Rji a zan wundi

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

26 Toh yombi mir ya. Ana gbugbuwubi ba he ni hikima ni shishi indi na. Ana wa wumbi bi he ni gbe-gble na. Anha wawumbi bi fe gni yi ni ko bi cu na.

For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born:

27 Irji a cu kpi bi meme ma ni gbu-gbu wa ni nondi bi hikima shan. Irji cu kpi bi hama ni gbegble du ba no kpi bi gbegble shan.

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

28 Irji ni ju kpi wa bana he ni daraja ni ya lega ni gbu-gbu. Aniya da jwu kpi wa ba hamanifani du ba me ni kpe ufani zama banza.

and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,

29 A tei naki du dyo duna ya di wawu hi kpe ni shishi ma na.

in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.

30 Domin kpe wa Rji a tei zizan bi he miyi ninde Rji wandi a he ni hikima ni tawu riji ni Rji. Ahenhaki adalcin mbu wu Tsarlu mbu ni fansarmbu.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

31 Du naki yada ba nha naki, indi wu wurwo ni san du yi fahariya ni ninde Irji.

in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
