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 to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our 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 in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

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

Grace and peace to you 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 always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

5 Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.

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

6 Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.

because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.

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

Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await 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 will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on 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, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

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.

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

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

My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels 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”.

What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

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

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized 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 did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

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

so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

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

Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.

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 did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied 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 message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being 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; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

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 philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the 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 through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

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

Jews demand signs and Greeks search 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, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

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 man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

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.

Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.

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 chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world 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.

He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

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

so that no one may boast 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.

It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

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

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