1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Yesu Kristi ni kpayem lrji ayo Bulus du ri nimi bi wa wa tindu niwu ni kpayem Bachi ni wawu vayimbu sastanisu.
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
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.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Du alheri ma nison wubima du hei niyi wanda ni Rji Bachi Timbu wa wawu Yesu Kristi
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Me kiri ni irji mu cacu ni tu mbi don alheri wa Bachi Kristi Yesu ni noyia.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Naki bina wa kpi u ruhu hama na wandi bi gbenbayani u Rji Yesu Kristi.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Da du yi kpayemen didi ine har hi kle du ba na ka tou yi ni latre ni ye Yesu Kristi na.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Irji wawuyi wu amina wayata yoni mi bi zumata bi waba yi biyaya ninde vrema Yesu Kristi Bachi mbu
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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.
11 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.
Me woh son bi mir vayi miniko kuluwi ba la ni mu andi meme son a he ni yi.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
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”.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Almasihu agakpama tin kankan? Ba klo Bulus don biyi? Bayi Batisma yiwu ninde Bulus?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Mekiri ni Rji mena yi baptisma niri mbinas me to Kiristus wu Gayus me yi nihawu.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Na ki ba wanda ni tre bayi baptisma niwu ninde mu.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
(Ime metou me yi Baptisma ni ndi biko Sitifanus, Bayaki me na tou ko meyi Baptisma ni nro na)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
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
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
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.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
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.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age (aiōn g165)? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
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)
21 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.
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
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
U yawudawa ba tre baha ba bida ni alajibai wu helinawa nibaba ba bida ni hikima.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Du naki kita khla tre Rji ni gicciyaye tita wu kubza yahudawa ni iri wauta wu helinawa.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Naki biwa irji rhiga yo ba ni yahudawa ni helinawa kyi hla tre irji na yadda a zama gbi gle ma ni hikima Rji.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Wauta u Rji a zan hikima wundi wureshi gbe-glen Rji a zan wundi
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
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.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
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.
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that do not exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
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.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
A tei naki du dyo duna ya di wawu hi kpe ni shishi ma na.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
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.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Du naki yada ba nha naki, indi wu wurwo ni san du yi fahariya ni ninde Irji.
