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 and sent by Jesus Messiah in the good pleasure of God; and Sosthenes, a brother;

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 the people called and sanctified, who are sanctified in Jesus Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, their and our Lord:

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

Grace be with you, and peace; from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.

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

I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah;

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

that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge;

6 nikech nendwa kuom Kristo nosir e dieru.

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed among you:

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

so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah:

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

who will confirm you unto the end, so that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

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

God is faithful; by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Messiah, 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.

And I beseech you, my Brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, that to you all there may be one language; and that there may be no divisions among you: but that ye may become perfectly of one mind, and of one way of thinking.

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

For concerning you, my Brethren, it hath been reported to me by the house of Chloe, 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.”

And this I state: That one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; and another saith, I am of Cephas; and another saith, I am of Messiah.

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

Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

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

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

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

lest any one should say, that I baptized in my own name.

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

I moreover baptized the household of Stephanas: but further, I know not that 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 Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be inefficient.

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

For a discourse concerning the cross is, to them who perish, foolishness; but to us who live, it is the energy 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 I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious.

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? Or where is the scribe? Or where is the disputant of this world? Lo, hath not God showed, that the wisdom of this world is folly? (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 in the wisdom of God, because the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to quicken them who believe.

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

Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Gentiles demand 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 Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles;

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 them who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Messiah is the energy 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 men; and the feebleness of God, is stronger than men.

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 look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high 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 hath chosen the foolish ones of the world, to shame the wise; and he hath chosen the feeble ones of the world, to shame the mighty;

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

and he hath chosen those of humble birth in the world, and the despised, and them who are nothing, to bring to naught them who are something:

29 Notimo kamano mondo kik ngʼato osungre e nyime.

so that no flesh might, glory before him.

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

And ye, moreover, are of him in Jesus Messiah; who hath become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

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

according to that which is written: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
