1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

Mini polo, U Tienu n den yini yua kelima o yanbuama po ke min tua Jesu kilisiti tondo n taani leni ti kpiilo Sositena

2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

Ki diani li tili U Tienu n yini yaaba, yaaba n ye kolinta dogu nni po. O den gagidi ki Hanbi yi Jesu Kilisiti nni, ke yin ya tie o nigagidihanba. N fuondi yi leni yaaba n jaandi ki miadi ti Dieodo Jesu kilisiti i kaani kuli, wani yua tie bi Diedo leni ti ya Diedo.

3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ti baa U Tienu leni o Diedo Jesu kilisiti n pa yi li hanbili leni mi yanduama.

4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.

Yogunu kuli n tuondi U T ienu yipo kelima yin baa ya hanbili o kani Jesu Kilisiti nni.

5 For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,

Kelima o ya niinni, yi den baa li seli li bonla kuli nni, lan tie mi maama leni mi bandima kuli po.

6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.

Lan n tie yin den gbadi ya siedi kilisiti po den pu ki go se yi siiga ki pa.

7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yeni U Tienu paabu kuli siiga, ban bonyenbu ki poadi yipo yin gu ke U Tienu baa doagidi ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti yaa yogunu.

8 He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Waani U Tienu n baa teni yin ya se ki pa hali mi jodima yogunu ke bi kan fidi ki kuli yi liba kuli ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti cuama daali.

9 God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

U Tienu tie tin fidi ki dugi yua yaapo, wani yua n den yini yi ke yin ya pia yanyenma leni o Bijua Jesu kilisiti ti Diedo.

10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.

N kpiiba, n mia yi ki tundi yi kelima ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti yeli po ke yi kuli n ya mani leni yiyaba, ke paadimaba kuli n da ya ye yi siiga, ke yin ya taa yenma yi yantiana leni yi yanjaga kuli nni.

11 My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.

N kpiiba, Kilowe diegu yaaba dan waani nni ke mi niama ye yi siiga.

12 What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

Min bagi yaala tie yi siiga one Tua: “Mini wani hua Polo,” one “Mini wani hua apolosa,”one: “mini wani n hua sefa,” one mo: “Mini wani n hua kilisiti.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

Naani kilisiti boagidi yoo? naani bi den kpaa polo yo li dapoanpoanli po ki baa faabi yi? bi den batisi yi polo yeni yoo?

14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

N tuondi U Tienu ke mii den batisi yi siiga obakuli, kali kilisipusa leni gayusa.

15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.

Lanwani oba kuli kan yedi ke bi den batisi o mini ya yeli nni.

16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.

Moamoani, n den batisi Sitefana leni o deni yaaba moko, mii tiani n ya go den batisi nitoa.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

Kilsiti naa den soani nni ke min ya batisi bi niba ka. Ama o den soani ke min ya wangi o laabaalihamo, ke laa tie min ya wangi leni mi yanfodanmaama ka ke kilisiti dapoanpoanli n da tua fanma.

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

Kelima li dapoanpoanli ya mawangima tie yanluoma yaaba n ba bodi po. Ama tinba yaaba n tindi po, li tie U Tienu paaciamu.

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

Li diani ki yedi: “N baa bolini bi yanfodanba yanfuoma, ki biani bi nunfandanba nunfanbu.”

20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

Lanwani o yanfodaano ye le? Li balimaama bangika go ye le? U naa yogunu nianiado go ye le? Naani U Tienu ki doagidi ke handuna yanfuoma kuli tie mi yanluoma ka? (aiōn g165)

21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

Kelima bi nisaaliba leni bi ya yanfoceli naa fidi ki bandi U Tienu leni wan doagidi o yanfuoma maama. Lanwani U Tienu den jagi ke o baa faabi yaaba n daani leni o laabaalihamo wangima yaama n tie nani mi yanluoma yeni.

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,

Jufinba miadi mi banciama, Gilekinba mo lingi mi yafuoma.

23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

Ama tinba wani wangi Kilisiti, ban den kpaa yua li dapoanpoanli po. Laa maama tie tingbali bonla Jufinba po, li go tie yanluoma bi nilanba po.

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

Ama U Tienu n yini yaaba po, ban tie Jufinba bi ban tie Gilekinba, kilisiti tie U Tienu paaciamu leni U Tienu yanfuoma.

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

Kelima U Tienu yaluoma fani ki cie bi niba yanfuoma, U Tienu tadingu mo pa ki cie bi nisaaliba ya paalu.

26 Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.

N kpiiba, kpaagi mani U Tienu n den yini yaaba n tie maama. Yi siiga yaaba n tie yanfuodanba naa yaba, yaaba n tie paatieba leni yaaba n tie bulicinba moko naa fuu.

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Ama U Tienu gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke li tie yanluobonla, ki baa wani bi yanfodanba i fe. O go gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke li tadinbonla, ki baa waani bi paatieba i fe.

28 He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

O go gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke tie bonfanla ki fali la, leni yaala n ki tie pu, ki baa bolini ban n nua yaala ke li tie bonmoanla.

29 so that no one may boast in His presence.

Otieni yeni ke nisaaloba kuli n da kpiagi o yuli wani U Tienu kani.

30 It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

Ama yinba, U Tienu teni ke yi ye Jesu Kilisiti nni. O go teni ke Jesu tie tipo mi yanfuoma, leni mi tegima, leni mi gagihanma, leni mi daafaabima.

31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Lanwani, nani lan diani maama: “Yua n bua ki jigini o yuli, Wan jigini li o Diedo nni.”
