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, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the 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 assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both 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 concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,
5 Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.
that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,
6 Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.
according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,
7 Naki bina wa kpi u ruhu hama na wandi bi gbenbayani u Rji Yesu Kristi.
so that ye are not behind in any 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 also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable 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
faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to 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.
And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected 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 was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are 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 of you saith, '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?
Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
14 Mekiri ni Rji mena yi baptisma niri mbinas me to Kiristus wu Gayus me yi nihawu.
I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —
15 Na ki ba wanda ni tre bayi baptisma niwu ninde mu.
that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;
16 (Ime metou me yi Baptisma ni ndi biko Sitifanus, Bayaki me na tou ko meyi Baptisma ni nro na)
and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize 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 did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the 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 to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those 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 hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'
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 the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make 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, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
22 U yawudawa ba tre baha ba bida ni alajibai wu helinawa nibaba ba bida ni hikima.
Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
23 Du naki kita khla tre Rji ni gicciyaye tita wu kubza yahudawa ni iri wauta wu helinawa.
also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to 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.
and to those 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 see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
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 the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose 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 base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —
29 A tei naki du dyo duna ya di wawu hi kpe ni shishi ma na.
that no flesh may glory before Him;
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.
and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, 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 hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'
