1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
PAULUJ me paeker, en wiala wanporon en Iejuj Krijtuj amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Jojtenej,
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:
On momodijou en Kot me mi Korint, me jaraui kila Krijtuj Iejuj, me paeker en jaraui o karoj me kin likwir on mar en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj ni deu arail o deu at.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mak o popol jan ren Kot Jam atail a atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj en mi re omail!
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;
I kin danke ai Kot kaukaule pweki mak en Kot on komail, me papana don komail jan ren Krijtuj Iejuj,
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
Pwe komail me pai kidar i ni meakaroj, ni majan karoj o lolekon karoj;
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Duen kadede iran Krijtuj a teniten re omail;
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
Pwe jota pai en mak eu, me komail jaik pai kidar; ni omail auiaui kajanjal en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj.
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Me pil pan kotin kajone komail di lao lel imwi, pwe en jolar dip omail lao lel ni ran en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Kot me melel, me komail paekerdo, pwen jau pena ren japwilim a Ol Iejuj Krijtuj atail Kaun.
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.
Ri ai kan, i panaui komail ni mar en atail Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj, komail en wiaki eu ni omail kajoi kan, pwe komail de wuki pajan nan pun omail, a komail en mi ni lamalam ta pot o kapun ta ieu.
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.
Ri ai kan a kalok don ia jan toun im en Kloe, me dene komail kin akamai pena nan pun omail.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."
A iet me i men inda, amen komail kin inda: Nai nain Pauluj amen; a nai nain Apoloj amen; a nai nain Kepaj amen; a nai nain Krijtuj amen.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Iaduen, Krijtuj me lop pajan? Iaduen, Pauluj me lopu kin komail er? De komail paptaijekier ni mar en Pauluj?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Nai me danke Kot, me jota meamen re omail, me i paptaijela, Krijpuj eta o Kaiuj;
15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
Pwe amen de inda, me nai wia paptaije on ni pein ad ai.
16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
A toun im en Jtepanaj i pil paptaijela; a jolar me i aja, me i paptaijela.
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.
Pwe kaidin en wia paptaij, me Krijtuj poron kin ia la, a pwen padaki ronamau, kaidin ni tiak kadek lokaia, pwe lopun Krijtuj de mal la.
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.
Pwe majan duen lopu me mal kot ren me lokidokilar akan, a manaman en Kot on ir, me pan dorela.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Pwe a intinidier: I pan tiakedi lolekon en me lolekonkan, o karotonala marain en me marain akan.
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)
Ia me lolekon o? O ia jaunkawewe o? Ia me lolekon o en pali pa? Dadue, Kot jota wia lamponki me erpit en pali pa? (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.
Aramaj akan jota aja Kot pweki udan ar lolekon. Kot ap kupureda, en kamaur kida, me pojon akan padak monai.
22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
Pwe Juj akan kin poeki kilel akan, a men Krik kin roporop lolekon.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
A kit kin padaki Krijtuj me lopuedar, men kamakar on Juj akan o on men liki kan kajoi mal.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
A on me paeker akan, men Juj o pil men Krik, je kaweweda Krijtuj manaman en Kot o erpit en Kot.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
Pwe joerpit en Kot me jikida jan en aramaj akan ar lolekon, o luet en Kot me kelail jan en aramaj akan ar kelail.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
Ri ai kan, komail kilan duen omail paeker. Pwe kaidin me toto ren me lolekon en pali uduk kan. Pil kaidin me toto ren me poe kan, pil kaidin toto ren me majamaj akan, me pilipildar.
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.
A Kot kotin piladar me jo lolekon nin jappa, pwen kapoui ala me lolekon kan; o Kot me kotin piladar me luet nin jappa kan, pwen kapouiala me kelail akan.
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,
O me mal nin jappa, o me jo konekon, i me Kot kotin piladar, o me jota meakot, pwen kawela me lapalap.
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
Pwe uduk der akjuaiki mon Kot.
30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
A komail tapi jan i ren Krijtuj Iejuj, me wialar atail erpit jan ren Kot, o pun, o jaraui, o maur patail.
31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Pwe duen a intinidier: Mo men juaiki, i en juaiki Kaun o.
