1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —and Sosthenes the brother, —
Mini polo, U Tienu n den yini yua kelima o yanbuama po ke min tua Jesu kilisiti tondo n taani leni ti kpiilo Sositena
2 Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord and ours:
Ki diani li tili U Tienu n yini yaaba, yaaba n ye kolinta dogu nni po. O den gagidi ki Hanbi yi Jesu Kilisiti nni, ke yin ya tie o nigagidihanba. N fuondi yi leni yaaba n jaandi ki miadi ti Dieodo Jesu kilisiti i kaani kuli, wani yua tie bi Diedo leni ti ya Diedo.
3 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Ti baa U Tienu leni o Diedo Jesu kilisiti n pa yi li hanbili leni mi yanduama.
4 I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —
Yogunu kuli n tuondi U T ienu yipo kelima yin baa ya hanbili o kani Jesu Kilisiti nni.
5 That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;
Kelima o ya niinni, yi den baa li seli li bonla kuli nni, lan tie mi maama leni mi bandima kuli po.
6 Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,
Lan n tie yin den gbadi ya siedi kilisiti po den pu ki go se yi siiga ki pa.
7 So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Yeni U Tienu paabu kuli siiga, ban bonyenbu ki poadi yipo yin gu ke U Tienu baa doagidi ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti yaa yogunu.
8 Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ]:
Waani U Tienu n baa teni yin ya se ki pa hali mi jodima yogunu ke bi kan fidi ki kuli yi liba kuli ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti cuama daali.
9 Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
U Tienu tie tin fidi ki dugi yua yaapo, wani yua n den yini yi ke yin ya pia yanyenma leni o Bijua Jesu kilisiti ti Diedo.
10 But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together—in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
N kpiiba, n mia yi ki tundi yi kelima ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti yeli po ke yi kuli n ya mani leni yiyaba, ke paadimaba kuli n da ya ye yi siiga, ke yin ya taa yenma yi yantiana leni yi yanjaga kuli nni.
11 For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,
N kpiiba, Kilowe diegu yaaba dan waani nni ke mi niama ye yi siiga.
12 Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:
Min bagi yaala tie yi siiga one Tua: “Mini wani hua Polo,” one “Mini wani hua apolosa,”one: “mini wani n hua sefa,” one mo: “Mini wani n hua kilisiti.”
13 The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
Naani kilisiti boagidi yoo? naani bi den kpaa polo yo li dapoanpoanli po ki baa faabi yi? bi den batisi yi polo yeni yoo?
14 I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,
N tuondi U Tienu ke mii den batisi yi siiga obakuli, kali kilisipusa leni gayusa.
15 Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:
Lanwani oba kuli kan yedi ke bi den batisi o mini ya yeli nni.
16 Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
Moamoani, n den batisi Sitefana leni o deni yaaba moko, mii tiani n ya go den batisi nitoa.
17 For Christ sent me not, to be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.
Kilsiti naa den soani nni ke min ya batisi bi niba ka. Ama o den soani ke min ya wangi o laabaalihamo, ke laa tie min ya wangi leni mi yanfodanmaama ka ke kilisiti dapoanpoanli n da tua fanma.
18 For, the discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.
Kelima li dapoanpoanli ya mawangima tie yanluoma yaaba n ba bodi po. Ama tinba yaaba n tindi po, li tie U Tienu paaciamu.
19 For it is written—I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
Li diani ki yedi: “N baa bolini bi yanfodanba yanfuoma, ki biani bi nunfandanba nunfanbu.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Lanwani o yanfodaano ye le? Li balimaama bangika go ye le? U naa yogunu nianiado go ye le? Naani U Tienu ki doagidi ke handuna yanfuoma kuli tie mi yanluoma ka? (aiōn g165)
21 For, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.
Kelima bi nisaaliba leni bi ya yanfoceli naa fidi ki bandi U Tienu leni wan doagidi o yanfuoma maama. Lanwani U Tienu den jagi ke o baa faabi yaaba n daani leni o laabaalihamo wangima yaama n tie nani mi yanluoma yeni.
22 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,
Jufinba miadi mi banciama, Gilekinba mo lingi mi yafuoma.
23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;
Ama tinba wani wangi Kilisiti, ban den kpaa yua li dapoanpoanli po. Laa maama tie tingbali bonla Jufinba po, li go tie yanluoma bi nilanba po.
24 But, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.
Ama U Tienu n yini yaaba po, ban tie Jufinba bi ban tie Gilekinba, kilisiti tie U Tienu paaciamu leni U Tienu yanfuoma.
25 Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.
Kelima U Tienu yaluoma fani ki cie bi niba yanfuoma, U Tienu tadingu mo pa ki cie bi nisaaliba ya paalu.
26 For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:
N kpiiba, kpaagi mani U Tienu n den yini yaaba n tie maama. Yi siiga yaaba n tie yanfuodanba naa yaba, yaaba n tie paatieba leni yaaba n tie bulicinba moko naa fuu.
27 On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,
Ama U Tienu gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke li tie yanluobonla, ki baa wani bi yanfodanba i fe. O go gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke li tadinbonla, ki baa waani bi paatieba i fe.
28 And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;
O go gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke tie bonfanla ki fali la, leni yaala n ki tie pu, ki baa bolini ban n nua yaala ke li tie bonmoanla.
29 So that no flesh should boast before God.
Otieni yeni ke nisaaloba kuli n da kpiagi o yuli wani U Tienu kani.
30 But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Ama yinba, U Tienu teni ke yi ye Jesu Kilisiti nni. O go teni ke Jesu tie tipo mi yanfuoma, leni mi tegima, leni mi gagihanma, leni mi daafaabima.
31 In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
Lanwani, nani lan diani maama: “Yua n bua ki jigini o yuli, Wan jigini li o Diedo nni.”
