UPawuli obizelwe ukuba ngumphostoli kaJesu Kristu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, loSostenesi umzalwane,

kubandla likaNkulunkulu eliseKorinte, kubo abangcwelisiweyo kuKristu Jesu, ababizelwe ukuba ngabangcwele, kanye labo bonke ababiza ibizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kuyo yonke indawo, eyabo kanye leyethu:

Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu leNkosini uJesu Kristu.

Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu wami ngesikhathi sonke ngani, ngenxa yomusa kaNkulunkulu eliwuphiweyo kuKristu Jesu;

5 ⲉ̅ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲣⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲛ ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ

ukuthi kuyo yonke into linothisiwe kuye, ekukhulumeni konke lelwazini lonke,

6 ⲋ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ

njengoba ubufakazi bukaKristu buqinisiwe kini;

ukuze lingasileli lakwesinye isipho, lilindele ukwembulwa kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu,

8 ⲏ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϫⲣⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲏⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϣⲁ ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ

ozaliqinisa futhi kuze kube sekupheleni, ukuze lingabi lacala ngosuku lweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

9 ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲉⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ

UNkulunkulu uthembekile, elabizelwa ngaye ebudlelwaneni beNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu.

10 ⲓ̅ ⲧⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉϫⲱ ⲙⲡⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲙⲡⲱⲣϫ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲃⲧⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲓϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲙⲛϯⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ

Ngiyalincenga-ke, bazalwane, ngebizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, ukuthi lonke likhulume into ibenye, njalo kungabi khona ukwehlukana phakathi kwenu, kodwa lipheleliswe emqondweni munye lekuboneni kunye.

11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲁⲭⲗⲟⲏ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϯⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ

Ngoba ngitsheliwe ngani, bazalwane bami, ngabakoKlowe, ukuthi kukhona izingxabano phakathi kwenu.

12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ϯϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲕⲏⲫⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ

Njalo ngitsho lokhu, kokuthi ngulowo lalowo wenu uthi: Mina ngingokaPawuli; kodwa mina okaApolosi; kodwa mina okaKefasi; kodwa mina okaKristu.

13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ

UKristu wehlukanisiwe yini? Kanti uPawuli wabethelelwa lina, kumbe labhabhathizwa yini ebizweni likaPawuli?

14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ϯϣⲡϩⲙⲟⲧ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲕⲣⲓⲥⲡⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲅⲁⲓⲟⲥ

Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu ukuthi kangibhabhathizanga lamunye wenu, ngaphandle kukaKrispusi loGayusi;

15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ

ukuze kungabi khona othi ngabhabhathiza ebizweni lami uqobo.

16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲏⲉⲓ ⲛⲥⲧⲉⲫⲁⲛⲁ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲱⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲛϭⲉ

Futhi ngabhabhathiza lendlu kaStefana; ngaphandle kwalokho kangazi ukuthi ngabhabhathiza omunye umuntu.

17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲛⲛⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁⲛ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ

Ngoba uKristu kangithumanga ukuthi ngibhabhathize, kodwa ukuthi ngitshumayele ivangeli; kungeyisikho ngenhlakanipho yelizwi, hlezi isiphambano sikaKristu senziwe ize.

18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲉⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ

Ngoba ilizwi lesiphambano liyibuthutha kulabo ababhubhayo, kodwa kithi abasindiswayo lingamandla kaNkulunkulu.

19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⲛⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲁⲑⲉⲧⲉⲓ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ

Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Ngizachitha inhlakanipho yabahlakaniphileyo, lokuqedisisa kwabaqedisisayo ngizakwenza ize.

20 ⲕ̅ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲥⲩⲛⲍⲏⲧⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲏ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲟϭ (aiōn g165)

Singaphi isihlakaniphi? Ungaphi umbhali? Ungaphi umphikisi walumhlaba? Angithi uNkulunkulu wayenza yaba yibuthutha inhlakanipho yalumhlaba yini? (aiōn g165)

21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲙⲡⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ

Ngoba kuthe enhlakanipheni kaNkulunkulu umhlaba kawumazanga uNkulunkulu ngenhlakanipho, kwaba kuhle kuNkulunkulu ngobuthutha bentshumayelo ukusindisa abakholwayo.

22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ

Ngoba lamaJuda acela isibonakaliso, lamaGriki adinga inhlakanipho;

23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲥⲧⲁⲩⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ

kodwa thina sitshumayela uKristu obethelweyo, isikhubekiso kumaJuda, lobuthutha kumaGriki;

24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲛϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ

kodwa kulabo ababiziweyo, kumaJuda kanye lakumaGriki, uKristu amandla kaNkulunkulu lenhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu;

25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲥⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲛⲧϭⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥϫⲟⲟⲣ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ

ngoba ubuthutha bukaNkulunkulu buhlakaniphile kulabantu, lobuthakathaka bukaNkulunkulu bulamandla kulabantu.

26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲧⲱϩⲙ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲇⲩⲛⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲉⲩⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ

Ngoba khangelani ubizo lwenu, bazalwane, ukuthi kababanengi abahlakaniphileyo ngokwenyama, kababanengi abalamandla, kababanengi abayizikhulu;

27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲥⲟϭ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲁⲃⲉⲉⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϭⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲛϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ

kodwa uNkulunkulu ukhethile izinto zobuthutha zomhlaba, ukuze ayangise abahlakaniphileyo; njalo uNkulunkulu ukhethile okubuthakathaka komhlaba, ukuze ayangise okulamandla;

28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲥⲟϣϥ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲧⲡⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲉϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲕⲁⲧⲁⲣⲅⲉⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ

lezinto eziphansi zomhlaba lezinto ezidelelekayo uNkulunkulu uzikhethile, lezinto ezingekho, ukuze enze zibe yize izinto ezikhona;

29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲝ ϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ

ukuze kungabikho inyama ezincomayo phambi kwakhe.

30 ⲗ̅ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲥⲟⲫⲓⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲃⲃⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉ

Kodwa ngaye lina likuKristu Jesu, owenzelwa thina inhlakanipho evela kuNkulunkulu, lokulunga, lokungcweliswa, lohlengo,

31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲥⲏϩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲟⲩϣⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲙ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ

ukuze, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ozincomayo, kazincome eNkosini.
