1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
Mwen menm Pòl, yon moun Bondye menm te deside rele pou sèvi Jezikri apòt, m'ap ekri lèt sa a, ansanm ak Sostèn, frè nou,
2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
pou nou tout ki nan legliz Bondye a lavil Korent. Bondye te rele nou pou viv apa pou li, nou tout ki pou Bondye nan Jezikri, ansanm ak tout lòt moun toupatou k'ap rele non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Paske Jezikri se Seyè yo menm jan li Seyè nou tou.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
Se tout tan m'ap di Bondye mèsi pou sa l' fè pou nou menm, frè lavil Korent yo, pou favè li te fè nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
Pandan n'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou rich nèt, li ban nou tout kalite kado: kado sa yo penmèt nou preche pawòl la tout jan epi yo ban nou anpil konesans.
6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you, )
Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la fin pran rasin nèt nan mitan nou.
7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Se sak fè, nou pa manke anyen nan kado Bondye bay yo, pandan n'ap tann jou lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pral parèt la.
8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bondye va kenbe nou fèm jouk sa kaba. Konsa, yo p'ap jwenn anyen pou repwoche nou lè jou Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va rive.
9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Bondye ki rele nou pou nou ka viv ansanm ak Pitit li, Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.
10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou, nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Tanpri, mete nou dakò sou tout bagay. Pa kite divizyon mete pye nan mitan nou. Okontrè, se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt. Mete yon sèl lide nan tèt nou, se pou nou tout gen yon sèl pawòl.
11 For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
Mwen di nou sa, frè m' yo, paske m' vin konnen nan bouch kèk moun nan fanmi Kloe a, te gen gwo kont pete nan mitan nou.
12 But I speak of this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Men sa m' vle di: Chak moun ap di yon bagay diferan. Sa a di: mwen se moun Pòl. Yon lòt di: mwen se moun Apolòs. Yon lòt ankò di: mwen se moun Pyè. Yon lòt ankò: mwen se moun Kris la.
13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
Nan kondisyon sa a, Kris la gen lè divize? Eske se Pòl yo te kloure sou kwa a pou nou? Osinon, èske se nan non Pòl yo te batize nou?
14 I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
Mwen di Bondye mèsi dèske mwen pa t' batize nou yonn, an wetan Krispis ak Gayis.
15 that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
Konsa, pesonn pa ka di yo te batize nan non Pòl.
16 Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
(Mwen t'ap bliye sa: mwen te batize Estefanas ak moun lakay li yo tou. Men, mwen pa chonje m' te batize pesonn lòt ankò.)
17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
Epitou, Kris la pa t' voye m' batize moun. Li te voye m' anonse Bon Nouvèl la, epi se pou m' anonse l' san m' pa bezwen sèvi ak bèl diskou bon konprann lèzòm, pou m' pa fè lanmò Kris la sou kwa a pase pou anyen.
18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
Pawòl ki fè nou konnen jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a, se pawòl moun fou pou moun k'ap peri yo. Men, pou nou menm ki delivre yo se pouvwa Bondye.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
Se sa menm ki te ekri nan Liv la: M'ap detwi bon konprann moun lespri yo. M'ap voye konesans save yo jete.
20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Bon, lè sa a, moun ki gen bon konprann yo, moun ki fò yo, moun ki renmen diskite dapre prensip lèzòm yo, kisa yo gen pou di ankò? Eske Bondye pa fè wè se bon konprann lèzòm lan ki pawòl moun fou? (aiōn g165)
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
Se sak fè, moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan, avèk tout bon konprann yo, yo pa kapab rekonèt Bondye kote Bondye ap fè wè bon konprann li. Se poutèt sa, Bondye deside delivre tout moun ki kwè nan pawòl moun fou n'ap anonse a.
22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
Yon bò, jwif yo ap mande mirak, yon lòt bò grèk yo ap chache bon konprann.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
Men nou menm, n'ap fè konnen Kris yo te kloure sou kwa a. Pou jwif yo, sa se yon wòch k'ap fè yo bite. Pou moun ki pa jwif yo, sa se bagay moun fou.
24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
Men pou tout moun Bondye rele yo, kit yo jwif, kit yo pa jwif, n'ap fè konnen Kris la ki bon konprann Bondye a ak pouvwa Bondye a.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Paske, sa ki sanble yon bagay moun fou Bondye ap fè a, li pi bon konprann pase bon konprann lèzòm. Sa ki sanble yon feblès Bondye ap moutre, li pi fò pase fòs lèzòm.
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
Koulye a, frè m' yo, chonje ki kalite moun nou te ye lè Bondye te rele nou. Pa gen anpil nan nou ki gen bon konprann dapre sa lèzòm rele bon konprann, pa gen anpil grannèg, ni anpil moun gran fanmi.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
Se konsa, Bondye chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun sòt pou l' fè moun ki gen bon konprann yo wont. Li chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun ki fèb pou l' fè grannèg yo wont.
28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
Li chwazi moun lèzòm gade pou anyen, moun yo meprize, moun ki pa menm egziste pou yo, pou li te ka kraze sa ki gen enpòtans pou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn.
29 so that no flesh should boast before God.
Konsa, pa gen moun ki ka fè grandizè devan Bondye.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
Bondye mete nou ansanm ak Jezikri, li fè Kris la tounen bon konprann pou nou. Se Kris la ki fè Bondye fè nou gras. Se li menm k'ap fè nou viv apa pou Bondye, se li menm ki delivre nou.
31 that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
Konsa, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Si yon moun vle fè lwanj tèt li, se pou l' fè lwanj tèt li nan sa Bondye fè pou li.
