1 Corinthians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our brother.

2 It is sent to the church of God in Corinth, those who are being made right in Christ Jesus, called to live holy lives—and to everyone who worships the Lord Jesus Christ everywhere, the Lord both of them and of us.
ta. m pratii"svarasyecchayaahuuto yii"sukhrii. s.tasya prerita. h paula. h sosthininaamaa bhraataa ca patra. m likhati|
3 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmaaka. m pitre"svare. na prabhunaa yii"sukhrii. s.tena ca prasaada. h "saanti"sca yu. smabhya. m diiyataa. m|
4 I'm always thanking God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus.
ii"svaro yii"sukhrii. s.tena yu. smaan prati prasaada. m prakaa"sitavaan, tasmaadaha. m yu. smannimitta. m sarvvadaa madiiye"svara. m dhanya. m vadaami|
5 Through him you have been made rich in everything, in all that you say and every aspect of what you know.
khrii. s.tasambandhiiya. m saak. sya. m yu. smaaka. m madhye yena prakaare. na sapramaa. nam abhavat
6 In fact the testimony of Christ was proved valid in your experience,
tena yuuya. m khrii. s.taat sarvvavidhavakt. rtaaj naanaadiini sarvvadhanaani labdhavanta. h|
7 so that you're not missing any spiritual gift as you wait for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
tato. asmatprabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya punaraagamana. m pratiik. samaa. naanaa. m yu. smaaka. m kasyaapi varasyaabhaavo na bhavati|
8 He will also keep you strong to the very end, so you will be kept right until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.
aparam asmaaka. m prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya divase yuuya. m yannirddo. saa bhaveta tadartha. m saeva yaavadanta. m yu. smaan susthiraan kari. syati|
9 God is trustworthy who called you to share together in fellowship with his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
ya ii"svara. h svaputrasyaasmatprabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasyaa. m"sina. h karttu. m yu. smaan aahuutavaan sa vi"svasaniiya. h|
10 Brothers and sisters, I plead with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all agree and that you're not divided. Instead develop a united attitude and purpose.
he bhraatara. h, asmaaka. m prabhuyii"sukhrii. s.tasya naamnaa yu. smaan vinaye. aha. m sarvvai ryu. smaabhirekaruupaa. ni vaakyaani kathyantaa. m yu. smanmadhye bhinnasa"nghaataa na bhavantu manovicaarayoraikyena yu. smaaka. m siddhatva. m bhavatu|
11 For I have been told things about you, my brothers and sisters, by some of Chloe's people—that you are quarreling among yourselves.
he mama bhraataro yu. smanmadhye vivaadaa jaataa iti vaarttaamaha. m kloyyaa. h parijanai rj naapita. h|
12 Let me explain what I mean. You're all making different claims: “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow Christ.”
mamaabhipretamida. m yu. smaaka. m ka"scit ka"scid vadati paulasya "si. syo. aham aapallo. h "si. syo. aha. m kaiphaa. h "si. syo. aha. m khrii. s.tasya "si. syo. ahamiti ca|
13 Is Christ divided? Did Paul die on a cross for you? Was it in the name of Paul that you were baptized?
khrii. s.tasya ki. m vibheda. h k. rta. h? paula. h ki. m yu. smatk. rte kru"se hata. h? paulasya naamnaa vaa yuuya. m ki. m majjitaa. h?
14 I'm grateful to God that I didn't baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
kri. spagaayau vinaa yu. smaaka. m madhye. anya. h ko. api mayaa na majjita iti hetoraham ii"svara. m dhanya. m vadaami|
15 so nobody can claim they were baptized in my name.
etena mama naamnaa maanavaa mayaa majjitaa iti vaktu. m kenaapi na "sakyate|
16 (Oh, and I also baptized the Stephanas family—I can't think of anyone else.)
apara. m stiphaanasya parijanaa mayaa majjitaastadanya. h ka"scid yanmayaa majjitastadaha. m na vedmi|
17 For Christ didn't send me out to baptize, but to spread the good news, and not with eloquent human wisdom, otherwise the cross of Christ would be made powerless.
khrii. s.tenaaha. m majjanaartha. m na prerita. h kintu susa. mvaadasya pracaaraarthameva; so. api vaakpa. tutayaa mayaa na pracaaritavya. h, yatastathaa pracaarite khrii. s.tasya kru"se m. rtyu. h phalahiino bhavi. syati|
18 For the message of the cross is nonsense to those who are lost, but it's the power of God to those of us who are saved.
yato heto rye vina"syanti te taa. m kru"sasya vaarttaa. m pralaapamiva manyante ki nca paritraa. na. m labhamaane. svasmaasu saa ii"svariiya"saktisvaruupaa|
19 As Scripture says, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will wipe out the cleverness of the clever.”
tasmaadittha. m likhitamaaste, j naanavataantu yat j naana. m tanmayaa naa"sayi. syate| vilopayi. syate tadvad buddhi rbaddhimataa. m mayaa||
20 So how about the wise, the writers, and the philosophers of this age? Hasn't God turned the wisdom of this world into foolishness? (aiōn g165)
j naanii kutra? "saastrii vaa kutra? ihalokasya vicaaratatparo vaa kutra? ihalokasya j naana. m kimii"svare. na mohiik. rta. m nahi? (aiōn g165)
21 Since God in his wisdom allowed the world in its wisdom not to know God, it was God's gracious plan that by the foolishness of the good news those who trusted in him would be saved.
ii"svarasya j naanaad ihalokasya maanavaa. h svaj naanene"svarasya tattvabodha. m na praaptavantastasmaad ii"svara. h pracaararuupi. naa pralaapena vi"svaasina. h paritraatu. m rocitavaan|
22 The Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks look for wisdom,
yihuudiiyalokaa lak. sa. naani did. rk. santi bhinnade"siiyalokaastu vidyaa. m m. rgayante,
23 but our message is of Christ killed on a cross—offensive to the Jews, and foolishness to the foreigners.
vaya nca kru"se hata. m khrii. s.ta. m pracaarayaama. h| tasya pracaaro yihuudiiyai rvighna iva bhinnade"siiyai"sca pralaapa iva manyate,
24 However, for those who are called by God, both Jews and foreigners, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
kintu yihuudiiyaanaa. m bhinnade"siiyaanaa nca madhye ye aahuutaaste. su sa khrii. s.ta ii"svariiya"saktirive"svariiyaj naanamiva ca prakaa"sate|
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than we are; and the weakness of God is stronger than we are.
yata ii"svare ya. h pralaapa aaropyate sa maanavaatirikta. m j naanameva yacca daurbbalyam ii"svara aaropyate tat maanavaatirikta. m balameva|
26 Brothers and sisters, remember your calling—and that this did not include many who are wise, humanly speaking; not many who are powerful; not many who are important.
he bhraatara. h, aahuutayu. smadga. no ya. smaabhiraalokyataa. m tanmadhye saa. msaarikaj naanena j naanavanta. h paraakrami. no vaa kuliinaa vaa bahavo na vidyante|
27 Instead God chose the things the world considers foolish to humiliate those who think they are wise. He chose the things the world considers weak to humiliate those who think they are strong.
yata ii"svaro j naanavatastrapayitu. m muurkhalokaan rocitavaan balaani ca trapayitum ii"svaro durbbalaan rocitavaan|
28 He chose the things that are unimportant and despised by the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,
tathaa varttamaanalokaan sa. msthitibhra. s.taan karttum ii"svaro jagato. apak. r.s. taan heyaan avarttamaanaa. m"scaabhirocitavaan|
29 so that nobody should boast in God's presence.
tata ii"svarasya saak. saat kenaapyaatma"slaaghaa na karttavyaa|
30 It's because of him that you live in Christ Jesus, who God made to be wisdom for us. He sets us right, keeps us right, and frees us.
yuuya nca tasmaat khrii. s.te yii"sau sa. msthiti. m praaptavanta. h sa ii"svaraad yu. smaaka. m j naana. m pu. nya. m pavitratva. m mukti"sca jaataa|
31 So as Scripture says, “Whoever wants to boast, let them boast in the Lord.”
ataeva yadvad likhitamaaste tadvat, ya. h ka"scit "slaaghamaana. h syaat "slaaghataa. m prabhunaa sa hi|
