< 1 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Yahushua the Messiah through the will of YHWH, and Sosthenes our brother,
Pɔl, ban yini yua ke wan tua Jesu Kiristu tondo, ke li ŋua U Tienu buama, yeni n naataano Sɔsteni,
2 Unto the assembly of YHWH which is at Corinth, to them that are set apart in the Messiah Yahushua, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Yahushua the Messiah our Master, both theirs and ours:
Ti diani li tili ne, ki ba teni U Tienu nitaanli yaali n ye Korenta, bani yaaba n baa mi yedŋanma Jesu Kiristu yeli po, ke bi gagdi ba ke ban tua niŋanba, yeni yaaba n li taagi ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu yeli hali ban ye naani kuli, bi Diedo yeni ti yua.
3 Favour be unto you, and peace, from YHWH our Father, and from the Master Yahushua the Messiah.
Ti Báa U Tienu yeni ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń puni yi mi yedŋanma yeni mi yanduanma!
4 I thank my Elohim always on your behalf, for the favour of YHWH which is given you by Yahushua the Messiah;
N jaandi n Tienu yognu kuli, i po, kaa cedi yeni wan tieni i po ya ŋanbli Jesu Kiristu yeli po.
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
Kelima wani ya po, i baa ya ŋalmani n yabi, ki nua mi maama yeni mi banma,
6 Even as the testimony of the Messiah was confirmed in you:
Ban tieni Kiristu po ya kasiedi fiigi bonŋanla i siiga, ke i kubi yeni i mɔni ke li paa.
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Master Yahushua the Messiah:
Mɔla, i ji ki luo yenpaabu bá kuli, yinba yaaba n guu ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu dɔgdima.
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Master Yahushua the Messiah.
O ba pugni yi u paalu, ke bi kan fidi ki jalgi yi hali ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń ba cua ya daali.
9 YHWH is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Yahushua the Messiah our Master.
U Tienu tie tin dugi yua ya po, wani yua n yini yi ke yin ŋɔdi o bijua yeni li papienli.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
N naataani, n miadi yi, ki paandi yi pala, ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu po, ke yin ya taa ñɔbu, ki da pia paadma i siiga, ama yin ya taa yantiayenli yeni maalyenma.
11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Kelima, n naataani, n gbadi ke Kolowe niba maadi ke a kɔnkɔna ye i siiga.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Kepha; and I of the Messiah.
N bua yedi ke i siiga yuakuli maadi maama ne: “Mini n tie Pɔl yua yo! Ke mini, Apolosi yua! Ke mini Sefasi yua! Ke mini Kiristu yua!
13 Is the Messiah divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Kiristu ji paadi paadi yo oo? Bi kpaa Pɔl i, i po, li dapɔnpɔnli po oo? Bii, bi batise yi Pɔl yeli po i?
14 I thank YHWH that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
N jaandi U Tienu yeni min ki batise bá niyendo yi siiga, lan ñani kirisipusi yeni Gayiwusi yaa ka.
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
lani yaa ka, bi bi ba yedi ke bi batise yi n ya yeli po i.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
N go batise Sitefanasi diegu nni yaaba; lan ñani lankani, n ji ki tama ke n batise nitiano.
17 For the Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the glad tidings: not with wisdom of words, lest the offering of the Messiah should be made of none effect.
Kiristu ki sɔni nni ke min ya batise bi niba ka, ama ke min ya wangi o laabaalŋamo, Li naa go tie ke min ya wangi yeni mi yanfomaama ka, ke Kiristu daapɔnpɔnli ń da tua fanma.
18 For the preaching of the stake is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of YHWH.
Kelima li daapɔnpɔnli maawangma tie yanluomaama i, yaaba n bodi po; ama tinba yaaba n baa mi faabma po, mi tie U Tienu paaciamu i.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Li go diani ki yedi ne: “N ba buoni bi yanfodanba yanfuoma, ki biani bi nunfandanba nunfanbu.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not YHWH made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn )
O yanfodaano ye le? o gbanbando ye le? Ti jamaano ne ñɔniadaano ye le? U Tienu ki cedi ke ŋanduna yanfuoma kpandi gaadma aa? (aiōn )
21 For after that in the wisdom of YHWH the world by wisdom knew not YHWH, it pleased YHWH by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Kelima, nani ŋanduna yeni o yanfuocema ki bandi U Tienu yeni U Tienu yanfuoma, li tua U Tienu po yanbuama i, ke wan faabi yaaba n dugi o po yeni mi gaadmaama.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Jufinba buali yaalidgu bona po, ke binilanba lingi mi yanfuoma.
23 But we preach the Messiah crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Tinba ti wangi ban kpaa ya Kiristu li daapɔnpɔnli po i; li tie janjanma jufinba po, ki tie gaadma bi nilanba po.
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, the Messiah is the power of YHWH, and the wisdom of YHWH.
Ama, ban gagdi ki yini yaaba ya po, ban tie jufinba bii nilanba aa, li tie bi po U Tienu paaciamu yeni U Tienu yanfuoma i.
25 Because the foolishness of YHWH is wiser than men; and the weakness of YHWH is stronger than men.
Kelima U Tienu gaadma pia mi yanfuoma ki cie bi nisaalba, ke U Tienu tadingu pia u paalu ki cie bi nisaalba.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
N naataani, yin ya bani ke yinba yaaba ke bi gagdi ki yini i siiga, ti gbannandi yanfodanba ki yabi, u paaciamu danba ki yabi, bi ŋalmandanba mo ki yabi.
27 But YHWH hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and YHWH hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Ama U Tienu taa ŋanduna yanluoma bona i, ki tulni bi yanfodanba, ki taa ŋanduna tadingu bona, ki tulni u paaciamu danba.
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath YHWH chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
U Tienu lugdi ya bona n ki pia mayuli ŋanduna nni, yeni bi niba ń fali yaali, ke laa pia fuoma, ki fanbi ban nua yaali ke li pia mayuli.
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
O tieni lani, ke nisaalo ń da kpiagdi o yuli U Tienu kani.
30 But of him are ye in the Messiah Yahushua, who of YHWH is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Wani ya po i, ke i fo Jesu Kiristu nni, wani yua n tua ti po yanfuoma, teginma, gagdiŋanma yeni daafaabma,
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in YHWH.
Nani lan diani ki maadi maama: “Yua n kpiagdi o yuli, wan kpiagi o yuli O Diedo nni.
