1 Corinthians 1

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

١ بُولُسُ، ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ رَسُولًا لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ بِمَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ، وَسُوسْتَانِيسُ ٱلْأَخُ،

2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Meshikha Yeshua, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha in every place, both theirs and ours:

٢ إِلَى كَنِيسَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي كُورِنْثُوسَ، ٱلْمُقَدَّسِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ قِدِّيسِينَ مَعَ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ، لَهُمْ وَلَنَا:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.

٣ نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Meshikha Yeshua;

٤ أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ عَلَى نِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْمُعْطَاةِ لَكُمْ فِي يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

٥ أَنَّكُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ٱسْتَغْنَيْتُمْ فِيهِ فِي كُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ وَكُلِّ عِلْمٍ،

6 even as the testimony of Meshikha was confirmed in you:

٦ كَمَا ثُبِّتَتْ فِيكُمْ شَهَادَةُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

7 so that you come behind in no gift; as you wait for our Lord Yeshua Meshikha to be revealed;

٧ حَتَّى إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ نَاقِصِينَ فِي مَوْهِبَةٍ مَّا، وَأَنْتُمْ مُتَوَقِّعُونَ ٱسْتِعْلَانَ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha.

٨ ٱلَّذِي سَيُثْبِتُكُمْ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلنِّهَايَةِ بِلَا لَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua Meshikha, our Lord.

٩ أَمِينٌ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ دُعِيتُمْ إِلَى شَرِكَةِ ٱبْنِهِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا.

10 Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

١٠ وَلَكِنَّنِي أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، بِٱسْمِ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، أَنْ تَقُولُوا جَمِيعُكُمْ قَوْلًا وَاحِدًا، وَلَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱنْشِقَاقَاتٌ، بَلْ كُونُوا كَامِلِينَ فِي فِكْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَرَأْيٍ وَاحِدٍ،

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.

١١ لِأَنِّي أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْكُمْ يَا إِخْوَتِي مِنْ أَهْلِ خُلُوِي أَنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ خُصُومَاتٍ.

12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Kipha," and, "I follow Meshikha."

١٢ فَأَنَا أَعْنِي هَذَا: أَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا لِبُولُسَ»، وَ«أَنَا لِأَبُلُّوسَ»، وَ«أَنَا لِصَفَا»، وَ«أَنَا لِلْمَسِيحِ».

13 Is Meshikha divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

١٣ هَلِ ٱنْقَسَمَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ؟ أَلَعَلَّ بُولُسَ صُلِبَ لِأَجْلِكُمْ، أَمْ بِٱسْمِ بُولُسَ ٱعْتَمَدْتُمْ؟

14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

١٤ أَشْكُرُ ٱللهَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُعَمِّدْ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا كِرِيسْبُسَ وَغَايُسَ،

15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

١٥ حَتَّى لَا يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ إِنِّي عَمَّدْتُ بِٱسْمِي.

16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

١٦ وَعَمَّدْتُ أَيْضًا بَيْتَ ٱسْتِفَانُوسَ. عَدَا ذَلِكَ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ هَلْ عَمَّدْتُ أَحَدًا آخَرَ،

17 For Meshikha sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Meshikha would not be made void.

١٧ لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ لَمْ يُرْسِلْنِي لِأُعَمِّدَ بَلْ لِأُبَشِّرَ، لَا بِحِكْمَةِ كَلَامٍ لِئَلَّا يَتَعَطَّلَ صَلِيبُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

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

١٨ فَإِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلصَّلِيبِ عِنْدَ ٱلْهَالِكِينَ جَهَالَةٌ، وَأَمَّا عِنْدَنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْمُخَلَّصِينَ فَهِيَ قُوَّةُ ٱللهِ،

19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

١٩ لِأَنَّهُ مَكْتُوبٌ: «سَأُبِيدُ حِكْمَةَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءِ، وَأَرْفُضُ فَهْمَ ٱلْفُهَمَاءِ».

20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

٢٠ أَيْنَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ؟ أَيْنَ ٱلْكَاتِبُ؟ أَيْنَ مُبَاحِثُ هَذَا ٱلدَّهْرِ؟ أَلَمْ يُجَهِّلِ ٱللهُ حِكْمَةَ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ؟ (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.

٢١ لِأَنَّهُ إِذْ كَانَ ٱلْعَالَمُ فِي حِكْمَةِ ٱللهِ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱللهَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ، ٱسْتَحْسَنَ ٱللهُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِجَهَالَةِ ٱلْكِرَازَةِ.

22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

٢٢ لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ يَسْأَلُونَ آيَةً، وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ يَطْلُبُونَ حِكْمَةً،

23 but we preach Meshikha crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

٢٣ وَلَكِنَّنَا نَحْنُ نَكْرِزُ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ مَصْلُوبًا: لِلْيَهُودِ عَثْرَةً، وَلِلْيُونَانِيِّينَ جَهَالَةً!

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

٢٤ وَأَمَّا لِلْمَدْعُوِّينَ: يَهُودًا وَيُونَانِيِّينَ، فَبِٱلْمَسِيحِ قُوَّةِ ٱللهِ وَحِكْمَةِ ٱللهِ.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

٢٥ لِأَنَّ جَهَالَةَ ٱللهِ أَحْكَمُ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ! وَضَعْفَ ٱللهِ أَقْوَى مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ!

26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

٢٦ فَٱنْظُرُوا دَعْوَتَكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، أَنْ لَيْسَ كَثِيرُونَ حُكَمَاءَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ، لَيْسَ كَثِيرُونَ أَقْوِيَاءَ، لَيْسَ كَثِيرُونَ شُرَفَاءَ،

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

٢٧ بَلِ ٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ جُهَّالَ ٱلْعَالَمِ لِيُخْزِيَ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ. وَٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ ضُعَفَاءَ ٱلْعَالَمِ لِيُخْزِيَ ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءَ.

28 And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

٢٨ وَٱخْتَارَ ٱللهُ أَدْنِيَاءَ ٱلْعَالَمِ وَٱلْمُزْدَرَى وَغَيْرَ ٱلْمَوْجُودِ لِيُبْطِلَ ٱلْمَوْجُودَ،

29 that no flesh might boast before God.

٢٩ لِكَيْ لَا يَفْتَخِرَ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ أَمَامَهُ.

30 And because of him you are in Meshikha Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

٣٠ وَمِنْهُ أَنْتُمْ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِي صَارَ لَنَا حِكْمَةً مِنَ ٱللهِ وَبِرًّا وَقَدَاسَةً وَفِدَاءً.

31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."

٣١ حَتَّى كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «مَنِ ٱفْتَخَرَ فَلْيَفْتَخِرْ بِٱلرَّبِّ».
