1 Jo-Korintho 1

1 An Paulo, moluongi mondo obed jaote mar Kristo Yesu kaluwore gi dwaro mar Nyasaye kaachiel kod owadwa Sostheno,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Meshikha Yeshua by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 Wandikonu un kanisa mar Nyasaye man Korintho, ma un joma osepwodhi ei Kristo Yesu, kendo moseluongi mondo obed jomaler kaachiel gi ji mamoko duto man kamoro amora maluongo nying Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, ma en Ruodhgi kendo Ruodhwa:

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Meshikha Yeshua, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruoth Yesu Kristo obed kodu.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.

4 Adwokone Nyasacha erokamano kinde duto kuomu, nikech ngʼwonone mosemiyou kuom Kristo Yesu.

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Meshikha Yeshua;

5 Nimar kuome usebedo momew e yore duto kuom weche ma uwacho kod ngʼeyo ma un-go,

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 nikech nendwa kuom Kristo nosir e dieru.

even as the testimony of Meshikha was confirmed in you:

7 Kuom mano, ok uremo mich moro amora mar Roho kuritogo odiechiengʼ ma Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo nofwenyree.

so that you come behind in no gift; as you wait for our Lord Yeshua Meshikha to be revealed;

8 En bende obiro ritou mondo ubed motegno nyaka giko, mondo omi ubed maonge bura chiengʼ mar Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo.

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha.

9 Nyasaye moseluongou mondo ubedi e lalruok gi Wuode Yesu Kristo Ruodhwa en ja-adiera.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua Meshikha, our Lord.

10 Jowetena, asayou e nying Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, mondo un duto uwinjru ngʼato gi ngʼato. Kik pogruok moro amora bedi e kindu, to beduru kuriworu maonge pogruok, ka un gi dwaro achiel kod paro achiel.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 Jowetena, jood Kloe moko osekelona wach ni nitie dhawo e dieru.

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Tiend gima awacho chal kama: Ngʼat moro kuomu wacho niya, “An ngʼat Paulo,” to ngʼat machielo to wacho niya, “An ngʼat Apolo,” machielo bende oramo niya, “An ngʼat Kefa,” to moro wacho niya, “An ngʼat Kristo.”

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Kipha," and, "I follow Meshikha."

13 Kristo dipogre nyadi di? Paulo bende nogur e msalaba nikech un? Koso nuyudo batiso e nying Paulo?

Is Meshikha divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 Adwoko erokamano ne Nyasaye ni ne ok abatiso ngʼato kuomu kata achiel makmana Krispo gi Gayo,

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 omiyo onge ngʼama nyalo wacho ni noyudo batiso e nyinga.

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

16 (Ee, jood Stefano bende ne abatiso, to ok apar ni ne abatiso ngʼat machielo mokalo mano.)

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

17 Nikech Kristo ne ok oora mondo abatis ji, to noora mondo ayal Injili, ok gi weche mamit mag rieko dhano, nono to dipo ka msalap Kristo obedo tekone.

For Meshikha sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Meshikha would not be made void.

18 Wach msalaba en fuwo ni joma lal, to ni wan joma iwaro, en teko Nyasaye,

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 nikech ondiki niya, “Abiro ketho rieko joma riek; kendo ngʼeyo mar joma riek abiro keyo nono.”

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 Ere ngʼama jarieko? Ere japuonj chik? Ere jatwak molony moloyo e pinyni? Donge Nyasaye osemiyo rieko mar pinyni odoko fuwo? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

21 Nyasaye nochano gi riekone ni piny ok nyal ngʼeyo Kristo gi riekone owuon, to nochano mana ni kuom fuwo mar wach mwalandoni ema owarogo joma oyie.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 Jo-Yahudi dwaro ni nyaka timnegi honni, to jo-Yunani to manyo rieko,

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 to wan wayalo Kristo mane ogur, ma en kidi machwanyo jo-Yahudi kendo en fuwo ni joma ok jo-Yahudi.

but we preach Meshikha crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 To kuom ji duto ma Nyasaye oseluongo, bed ni gin jo-Yahudi kata jo-Yunani, Kristo en teko Nyasaye kendo en rieko Nyasaye.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Meshikha is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Nikech fup Nyasaye riek moloyo rieko dhano, kendo nyawo mare otegno moloyo teko dhano.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 Jowetena, parieuru kaka nuchal kane Nyasaye oluongou. Ji mathoth kuomu ne ok joma riek, kipimou gi rieko dhano, bende ji mathoth kuomu ne ok joma rahuma kata joma oa e koth ruodhi.

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

27 To Nyasaye noyiero gima ofuwo mag piny mondo okuodgo wi joma riek. Nyasaye noyiero bende gik manyap mag piny mondo okuodgo wi joma rateke.

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 Nyasaye noyiero gik ma piny ochayo kendo manono mondo otiekgo gik ma jopiny kwano ni lich.

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 Notimo kamano mondo kik ngʼato osungre e nyime.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 En e chakruok mar ngimau ei Kristo Yesu, mane obedonwa rieko moa kuom Nyasaye, tiende ni tim makare, pwodhruok, kod resruok.

And because of him you are in Meshikha Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Emomiyo, mana kaka ondiki niya, “Ngʼat ma sungore mondo osungre kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
