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 Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our 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.
unto the church of God which is at Corinth, [even] them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their [Lord] 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 thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
5 Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.
that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;
6 Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.
even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 Naki bina wa kpi u ruhu hama na wandi bi gbenbayani u Rji Yesu Kristi.
so that ye come behind in no gift; 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.
who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye be] unreproveable 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 ye were 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, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfected together 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 hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them [which are of the household] 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”.
Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, 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 Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye 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 baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;
15 Na ki ba wanda ni tre bayi baptisma niwu ninde mu.
lest any man should say that ye 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)
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether 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 in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.
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 to them that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which 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, And the prudence of the prudent will I reject.
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? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath 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 seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.
22 U yawudawa ba tre baha ba bida ni alajibai wu helinawa nibaba ba bida ni hikima.
Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and 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 crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto 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 unto them that 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 behold your calling, brethren, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
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, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are 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 base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
29 A tei naki du dyo duna ya di wawu hi kpe ni shishi ma na.
that no flesh should glory before 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 was made unto us wisdom from God, 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, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
