1 Corinthians 1
1 To the church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his people, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ – their Master and ours,
Phaawulos isa akka ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼuuf fedhii Waaqaatiin waamamee fi obboleessa keenya Soosteenes irraa,
2 from Paul, who has been called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our fellow follower of the Lord.
Gara waldaa Waaqaa ishee Qorontos keessa jirtuutti, gara warra Kiristoos Yesuusiin qulqulleeffamanii fi warra lafa hundaa kanneen maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos isa Gooftaa isaaniitii fi Gooftaa keenyas taʼe sanaa waammatan hunda wajjin qulqulloota taʼuuf waamamaniitti:
3 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
Ayyaannii fi nagaan Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa isiniif haa taʼu.
4 I always thank God for you. I thank him for the blessing bestowed on you in Christ Jesus.
Ani yeroo hunda ayyaana Waaqaa isa Kiristoos Yesuusiin isinii kennameef waaʼee keessaniif Waaqa nan galateeffadha.
5 For through union with him you were enriched in every way – in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the truth;
Isinis karaa hundaan jechuunis dubbii fi beekumsa hundaan isaan badhaataniirtu;
6 and so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.
wanti nu waaʼee Kiristoos dhugaa baane sun isin gidduutti mirkaneeffameeraatii.
7 There is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
Kanaafuu utuu mulʼachuu Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos eeggachaa jirtanuu kennaan hafuuraa tokko iyyuu isin jalaa hin hirʼatu.
8 And God himself will strengthen you to the end, so that at the day of our Lord Jesus Christ you may be found blameless.
Akka isin guyyaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti warra mudaa hin qabne taataniifis inni hamma dhumaatti jabeessee isin eega.
9 God will not fail you, and it is he who called you into communion with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Waaqni gara tokkummaa Ilma isaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti isin waame sun amanamaa dha.
10 But I appeal to you, my friends, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united – of one mind and of one opinion.
Yaa obboloota, ani akka isin gidduu gargar baʼuun hin jiraannee fi akka qalbii fi yaada tokko qabaattanii hundi keessan walii galtaniif maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin isin kadhadha.
11 For I have been informed, my friends, by the members of Chloe’s household, that party feeling exists among you.
Yaa obboloota ko, akka isin gidduu lolli jiru warri mana Kiloʼee jiraatan tokko tokko natti himaniiru.
12 I mean this: that every one of you says either ‘I follow Paul,’ or ‘I Apollos,’ or ‘I Cephas,’ or ‘I Christ.’
Wanti ani jedhus kana: Isin keessaa namni tokko, “Ani kan Phaawulos” jedha; inni kaan, “Ani kan Apholoos” jedha; kaanis, “Ani kan Keefaa ti” jedha; kaan immoo, “Ani kan Kiristoos” jedha.
13 You have torn the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Kiristoos gargar qoodameeraa? Phaawulositu isinii fannifame ree? Yookaan maqaa Phaawulosiin cuuphamtanii?
14 I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Ani Kiriisphoosii fi Gaayoosin malee isin keessaa nama tokko illee waan hin cuuphiniif Waaqa nan galateeffadha.
15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
Kanaaf namni akka isin maqaa kootiin cuuphamtan dubbachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
16 I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized anyone else.
Eeyyee, ani warra mana Isxiifaanaas jiraatanis akkasuma cuupheera; sanaan alatti nama biraa tokko illee cuuphuu koo hin yaadadhu.
17 My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the good news; not, however, in the language of philosophy, in case the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.
Kiristoos akka ani wangeela lallabuuf malee akka ani cuuphuuf na hin ergineetii; anis akka fannoon Kiristoos humna hin dhabneef dubbii ogummaa namaatiin hin lallabu.
18 The message of the cross is indeed mere folly to those who are on the path to ruin, but to us who are on the path of salvation it is the power of God.
Dubbiin fannoo warra baduuf jiraniif gowwummaadhaatii; nu warra fayyinuuf garuu humna Waaqaa ti.
19 For scripture says – ‘I will bring the philosophy of the philosophers to naught, and the shrewdness of the shrewd I will bring to nothing.’
Kunis, “Ani ogummaa ogeeyyii nan balleessa; hubannaa hubattootaas nan fashaleessa” jedhamee barreeffameera.
20 Where is the philosopher? Where the teacher of the Law? Where the disputant of today? Has not God shown the world’s philosophy to be folly? (aiōn g165)
Namni ogeessi eessa jira? Hayyuun eessa jira? Falaasamaan bara kanaa eessa jira? Waaqni ogummaa addunyaa kanaa gowwummaa hin goonee ree? (aiōn g165)
21 For since the world, in God’s wisdom, did not by its philosophy learn to know God, God saw fit, by the ‘folly’ of our proclamation, to save those who believe in Christ!
Sababii ogummaa Waaqaatiin addunyaan karaa ogummaa isheetiin Waaqa waan hin beekiniif, Waaqni gowwummaa lallabaatiin warra amanan fayyisuu jaallate.
22 While Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks study philosophy,
Yihuudoonni mallattoo fedhu; Giriikonni immoo ogummaa barbaadu;
23 we are proclaiming Christ crucified! – to the Jews an obstacle, to the Gentiles mere folly,
nu garuu Kiristoos isa fannifame sana lallabna; innis Yihuudootatti gufuu dha; Namoota Ormaatiif immoo gowwummaa dha;
24 but to those who have received the call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God!
warra waamamaniif garuu Yihuudootaafis taʼu Giriikotaaf Kiristoos humna Waaqaatii fi ogummaa Waaqaa ti.
25 For God’s ‘folly’ is wiser than people, and God’s ‘weakness’ is stronger than people.
Gowwummaan Waaqaa ogummaa namaa caalaa ogeessaatii; dadhabbiin Waaqaas jabina namaa irra jabaa dha.
26 Look at the facts of your call, friends. There are not many among you who are wise, as people reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are high-born;
Yaa obboloota, isin yeroo waamamtanitti maal akka turtan yaadadhaa. Akka ilaalcha namaatti baayʼeen keessan ogeeyyii hin turre; baayʼeen keessanis beekamoo hin turre; baayʼeen keessan immoo sanyii warra gurguddaa irraa hin dhalanne.
27 but God chose what the world counts foolish to put its wise to shame, and God chose what the world counts weak to put its strong to shame,
Waaqni garuu ogeeyyii qaanessuuf jedhee waan addunyaa irratti gowwaa taʼe filate; Waaqni warra jajjabeeyyii qaanessuuf jedhee waan addunyaa irratti dadhabaa taʼe filate.
28 and God chose what the world counts poor and insignificant – things that to it are unreal – to bring its ‘realities’ to nothing,
Waaqni waan jiru waan hin jirre gochuuf, waan addunyaa kana irratti gad aanaa fi tuffatamaa taʼe, waan iddoo hin qabnes filate;
29 so that in his presence no one should boast.
kunis akka eenyu iyyuu isa duratti of hin jajneef.
30 But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God’s will, became not only our wisdom, but also our righteousness, holiness, and deliverance,
Isin sababii isaatiin kan Kiristoos Yesuus taatan; inni ogummaa keenya kan Waaqa biraa dhufe jechuunis qajeelummaa keenya, qulqullummaa fi furii keenyaa dha.
31 so that – in the words of scripture – ‘Whoever boasts should boast of the Lord!’
Kunis akkuma, “Namni boonu Gooftaadhaan haa boonu” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
