1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Ma sel Paul, su tuh pangonyuk ke lungse lun God in sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus, ac oayapa sel Sosthenes, mwet lulalfongi wiasr —
2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
Nu sin church lun God in acn Corinth, nu selos nukewa su pangonyuk tuh elos in mwet mutal lun God, su ma lal ke elos kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, weang mwet yen nukewa su alu nu sin Leum lasr Jesus Christ, su Leum lalos ac oayapa lasr:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr ac Leum Jesus Christ.
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk keiwos pacl nukewa, ke sripen kulang su El asot nu suwos ke Christ Jesus.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
Tuh ke kowos kupasryang nu sin Christ kowos kasrupi in ma nukewa, ke kas in luti nukewa ac etauk nukewa.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Mwe fahkak ke Christ oakwuki ku in kowos
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
pwanang kowos tia oalla liki in eis kutena mwe insewowo sin God ke kowos tupan sikme lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God El fah akkeye kowos in tu ku nu ke safla, tuh in wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
God El oaru, ac fal in lulalfongiyuk El, su pangon kowos in sie sin sie yurin Wen natul, Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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.
Ke inen Leum lasr Jesus Christ, nga kwafe nu suwos nukewa, mwet lili ac lulu, tuh kowos in insese ke ma kowos fahk, tuh in fah wangin srisrielik inmasrlowos. Kowos nukewa in tukenina nunak sefanna ac pwapa sefanna.
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.
Mwet lili ac lulu, kutu mwet in sou lal Chloe elos tuku fahk nu sik lah oasr akukuin inmasrlowos.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
Kalem sik lah kas lowos uh tia oana sie. Sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Paul”, sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Apollos”, ac sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Peter”, ac sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lun Christ.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Ya Christ el kitakatelik nu ke u pus? Ya Paul pa misa fin sakseng keiwos? Ya kowos baptaisla tuh kowos in mwet tuma lutlut lal Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Nga kulo nu sin God lah nga tuh tia baptaisi kutena suwos, sayal Crispus ac Gaius.
15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
Ke ma inge, wangin kutena suwos ku in fahk mu kowos baptaisla inek.
16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
(O nga esamak lah nga baptaisella pac Stephanas ac sou lal; tusruktu nga tia esam lah oasr pac mwet saya nga baptaisela.)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.
Christ el tia supweyu ngan baptaisi mwet. El supweyu in fahkak ke Pweng Wo, ac fahkak luk in tia orekmakin kas lalmwetmet lun mwet, tuh ku lun misa lun Christ fin sakseng in tia pilesreyuk.
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.
Tuh pweng ke misa lun Christ fin sakseng, ma lalfon nu selos su fahsr ke inkanek nu ke tuhlac; a nu sesr su fahsr ke inkanek in molela, pweng se inge ku lun God.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Nga fah kunausla etauk lun mwet lalmwetmet Ac akfohsyauk nunak lun mwet yohk etu la.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Ke ouinge, mea sripen mwet lalmwetmet? Ku mwet sasla ke ma sap? Ku mwet pah in sramsram lun faclu? God El akkalemye tari lah lalmwetmet lun faclu ma lalfon. (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.
Tuh ke lalmwetmet lun God, El oru tuh mwet uh in tia ku in etal ke lalmwetmet lalos sifacna. A El sulela in molela mwet su lulalfongi ke kas in luti lasr ma pangpang “kas lalfon.”
22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
Mwet Jew elos kena liye mwenmen, ac mwet sayen mwet Jew elos suk ke lalmwetmet.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
A funu kut, kut fahkak Christ su sripsripyak fin sakseng, sie pweng su mwe srungayuk nu sin mwet Jew, ac kas lalfon nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Tusruktu nu selos su pangonyuk tari sin God — mwet Jew oayapa mwet sayen mwet Jew — pweng se inge pa Christ, su fahkak ku lun God ac lalmwetmet lun God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
Tuh ma su oana mwe lalfon lun God, lalmwetmet liki lalmwetmet lun mwet uh; ac ma su oana munas lun God, ku liki ku lun mwet uh.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
Inge, mwet lili luk, kowos in esam ouiyowos meet liki pacl se God El pangon kowos. Ke liye lun mwet uh, pu na suwos lalmwetmet, ku oasr ku la, ku oaoa in mwet fulat.
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.
God El tuh sulela ma faclu pangon mu lalfon in akmwekinye mwet lalmwetmet, ac El sulela ma su faclu pangon mu munas in akmwekinye mwet ku.
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,
El sulela ma faclu pilesru ac srunga ac pangon mu wangin sripa, in kunausla ma faclu nunku mu yohk sripa.
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
Kalmen ma inge pa wangin mwet ku in konkin ye mutun God.
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Tusruktu God El oru tuh kowos in kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, ac tuh Christ elan ase lalmwetmet nu sesr. Ke Christ kut aksuwosyeyuk ye mutun God; kut ekla mwet mutal lun God ac aksukosokyeyuk kut.
31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Ouinge, oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Kutena mwet su kena konkin, lela elan konkin ke ma Leum El oru.”
