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, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Sosthenes my brother,

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 which is in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

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

grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

I thank my God always on your account, for the grace of God which is given to you in Christ Jesus;

5 Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.

that you are enriched by him in every thing, in all speech, and in all knowledge,

6 Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.

even as the testimony concerning the Christ was con firmed among you,

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

so that you are deficient in no gift, while waiting for 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.

He also will establish you even to the end, and make you blameless 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, by whom you have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.

Now, I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that you be perfectly united in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

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

For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, 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”.

I mean this: that each one of you says, I 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 the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you immersed into 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 immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

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

that no one may say that I immersed into my own name.

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

I did, indeed, immerse the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I immersed 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 immerse, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of the Christ should be deprived of its power.

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 preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us 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 is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will set aside the understanding of the prudent.

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 disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (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 its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe.

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

For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

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

but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, 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 those 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

For 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 not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you;

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 bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame 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 the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are;

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

that no flesh should glory in his presence.

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 you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, 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.

that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
