1 Corinthians 1
1 I, Paul, [am writing this letter]. Sosthenes, our fellow believer, is with [me as I write it]. [God] appointed me to be an apostle of Christ Jesus because that is what God desired.
Si Pablo, gitawag ni Cristo Jesus aron mahimong usa ka apostol pinaagi sa kabubut-on sa Dios, ug kang Sostines nga atong igsoon,
2 [I am sending this letter] to all you who are God’s believers in Corinth [city]. You have been set apart [by God] {[God] has set you apart} for himself because (of your close relationship with/you belong to) Christ Jesus. God has appointed you to be his people and to live in a morally pure way, just like he has appointed all the people everywhere who belong to him to live in a morally pure way. You and they have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY]. He is their sovereign Lord as well as the sovereign Lord of all of us [(inc)] who have trusted in him.
ngadto sa simbahan sa Dios diha sa Corinto, niadtong mga hinalad na kang Jesu-Cristo, nga gitawag ingon nga balaang katawhan. Nagasulat usab kami niadtong tanang nagtawag sa ngalan sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo sa matag dapit, ang ilang Ginoo ug atua usab.
3 We [(exc)] desire that God, who is our [heavenly] Father, and Jesus Christ, who is our sovereign Lord, will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to experience [inner] peace.
Hinaot nga ang grasya ug kalinaw maanaa kaninyo gikan sa Dios nga atong Amahan ug kang Ginoong Jesu-Cristo.
4 I very often [HYP] thank God for you because he has acted toward you kindly, acting in ways that you do not deserve. He has done this because of your (having a close relationship with/being united to) Christ Jesus.
Nagapasalamat ako kanunay sa akong Dios alang kaninyo tungod sa grasya sa Dios nga gihatag kaninyo ni Cristo Jesus.
5 That is, [God] has [HYP] helped you spiritually very much because of your (having a close relationship with/being united to) Christ. Specifically, God has very much [HYP] enabled you to speak messages [that his Spirit revealed to you], and he has very much enabled you to know many things [HYP] that his Spirit revealed to you.
Gihimo niya kamong mga adunahan sa tanang paagi, sa tanang pagpanulti ug uban sa tanang kahibalo,
6 In that way, [he] confirmed to you that what we [(exc)] proclaimed about Christ is true.
sama sa pagpamatuod mahitungod kang Cristo nga gipamatud-an ingon nga tinuod taliwala kaninyo.
7 As a result, while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to return, within your group you truly have [LIT] every ability that [God’s] Spirit gives [to believers].
Busa wala kamo makulangi sa espirituhanong mga gasa samtang naghinamhinam kamo nga naghulat sa pagpadayag sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo.
8 God will also cause you to steadfastly [trust Christ to the very end of your lives] [EUP]. The result will be that God will not consider you guilty [of any sin] when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth [MTY].
Pagalig-onon usab niya kamo hangtod sa kataposan, aron nga maputli kamo sa adlaw sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo.
9 You can depend on God to do that. He is the one who chose you to become intimately associated with his Son, Jesus Christ, who is our Lord.
Matinud-anon ang Dios nga nagtawag kaninyo ngadto sa pagpakighiusa sa iyang Anak, nga si Jesu-Cristo nga atong Ginoo.
10 My fellow believers, by the authority of [MTY] our Lord Jesus Christ, I urgently appeal to all of you to agree with one another. What I mean is, stop dividing into groups. Instead, be united [MET] concerning what you understand [about spiritual matters], and be united in what you decide.
Karon giawhag ko kamo, mga kaigsoonan, pinaagi sa ngalan sa atong Ginoong Jesu-Cristo, nga magkauyon na kamong tanan, ug nga walay pagkabahinbahin taliwala kaninyo. Giawhag ko kamo nga maghiusa sa samang hunahuna ug pinaagi sa samang katuyoan.
11 My fellow believers, [I urge this] because some members of Chloe’s household have told me that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Kay nagtaho kanako ang katawhan ni Cloe nga adunay panaglalis diha kaninyo.
12 That is, some of you say, “Paul is the one to whom we [are loyal],” and others say, “Peter is the one to whom we [are loyal],” and still others say, “Christ is the one to whom we [are loyal].”
Ang akong ipasabot mao kini: Ang matag usa kaninyo nagaingon nga, “Iya ako ni Pablo,” o “Iya ako ni Apollos,” o “Iya ako ni Cefas,” o “Iya ako ni Cristo.”
13 [It is ridiculous that] [RHQ] [you are quarreling and] dividing up [into groups instead of being loyal to] Christ alone. Christ certainly has not divided himself into parts and distributed those parts out [to groups of people who oppose each other]! [MET, RHQ] I, Paul, certainly did not die on the cross for you! [RHQ] When you were baptized {When someone baptized you}, you certainly did not promise that you were submitting to me! [RHQ]
Nabahin ba gud si Cristo? Gilansang ba sa krus si Pablo alang kaninyo? Gibawtismohan ba kamo sa ngalan ni Pablo?
14 I thank [God] that Crispus and Gaius were the only ones from among you whom I baptized.
Nagpasalamat ako sa Dios nga wala akoy gibawtismohan bisan usa kaninyo, gawas kang Crispo ug Gayo.
15 As a result, no one [there in Corinth except those two] can say, “Paul baptized me so that I would become (his disciple/submissive to him).”
Ingon kini niini aron nga walay makasulti nga gibawtismohan kamo sa akong ngalan.
16 [Now I remember that] I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I do not remember baptizing anyone else [there].
(Gibawtismohan ko usab diay ang panimalay ni Stefanas. Human niana, wala na ako masayod kung may nabawtismohan pa ba ako nga lain.)
17 Christ sent me not [primarily] to baptize people but to preach the good message about him. When I do that, he does not want me to use words that human philosophers [consider] wise [IRO]. I do not want the message about [what] he [accomplished when he was nailed to] the cross [MTY] to lose its power.
Kay wala ako gipadala ni Cristo aron sa pagbawtismo kondili aron sa pagsangyaw sa ebanghelyo. Wala niya ako gipadala aron sa pagsangyaw sa mga pulong nga inubanan sa tawhanon nga kaalam, aron dili gayod mawad-an ug gahom ang krus ni Cristo.
18 Those who are perishing spiritually [because they do not believe that message consider] that the message [about what Christ accomplished when he was nailed to the] cross [MTY] [is] foolish. But to us who are being saved {whom [God] is saving} [spiritually because we believe that message], it [demonstrates that] God acts powerfully [in order to save us].
Kay ang mensahe mahitungod sa krus binuang alang niadtong himalatyon na. Apan niadtong mga linuwas sa Dios, mao kini ang gahom sa Dios.
19 [It is like what God said that] a prophet wrote long ago, [By the things that I will do], I will show that the ideas of those who [think] [IRO] they are wise are completely useless. I will ignore the ideas that they think are [IRO] so smart.
Kay nahisulat naman kini, “Pagalaglagon ko ang kaalam sa mga maalamon. Pagapakyason ko ang pagpanabot sa nagpakamanggialamon.”
20 So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn g165)
Hain naman ang tawong manggialamon? Hain naman ang manunulat? Hain naman ang mga tawong tiglantugi niining kalibotana? Dili ba gihimo man sa Dios nga kabuang ang kaalam niining kalibotana? (aiōn g165)
21 God, acting very wisely, made it impossible for unbelievers to know God by doing what they thought was [IRO] wise. Instead, he was happy to save those who trust [in Christ] as the result of their hearing [the message that] was proclaimed to them, a message that others consider to be foolish.
Sanglit ang kaalam niining kalibotana wala makaila sa Dios, gikahimut-an sa Dios ang pagluwas niadtong mituo kaniya pinaagi sa kabuang nga pagsangyaw.
22 The Jews want [people to prove, by performing] miracles, [that their message is true]. The non-Jews want to hear only messages consisting of talk that they consider to be very wise.
Kay nangayo ang mga Judio sa mga milagrosong mga ilhanan, ug ang mga Griyego nangita ug kaalam.
23 As for us, we proclaim [the message about what] Christ [accomplished for us when] he was nailed {[when they] nailed him} to the cross. That message offends Jews [because they do not think that the Messiah will die, and] non-Jews think it is [IRO] a foolish message.
Apan among gisangyaw si Cristo nga gilansang sa krus, usa ka kapandolan sa mga Judio ug binuang ngadto sa mga Griyego.
24 But to us whom God has chosen to belong to himself, both Jews and non-Jews, that message shows that God acted powerfully and wisely [by sending] Christ [to die] for us.
Apan alang niadtong tinawag sa Dios, mga Judio ug Griyego, gisangyaw namo si Cristo ingon nga gahom ug kaalam sa Dios.
25 [Unbelievers may think] [IRO] [that] God was [acting] foolishly [by doing that], but [the truth is that] he was acting more wisely than unbelievers who [just think that] [IRO] they are wise. And unbelievers may think that God was [acting] weakly [by sending his son to die], but he was acting more powerfully than unbelievers who [just think] [IRO] [that they] act powerfully.
Kay ang giingon nga binuang sa Dios mas labaw pang maalamon kaysa sa mga tawo, ug ang kahuyang sa Dios labaw pang kusgan kaysa sa mga tawo.
26 My fellow believers, remember what [kind of people you] were when God chose you. [Not many of you] whom he chose are people whom [unbelievers considered to be] wise. Very few of you were considered to be important. Very few of you came from families with a high social standing.
Susiha ang inyong pagkatinawag, mga igsoon. Dili daghan kaninyo ang maalamon pinaagi sa sukaranan sa mga tawo. Dili daghan kaninyo ang gamhanan. Dili usab daghan kaninyo ang may halangdon nga pagkatawo.
27 Instead, it was [usually] those whom [unbelievers considered to be] foolish whom God chose. He did that in order to shame/discredit those whom [unbelievers consider] [IRO] wise. It was [usually] those [whom unbelievers] considered [IRO] unimportant whom God chose, in order to shame/discredit those whom unbelievers consider important.
Apan gipili sa Dios ang gipakabuang nga mga butang sa kalibotan aron pakaulawan ang mga maalamon. Gipili sa Dios ang huyang dinhi sa kalibotan aron pakaulawan kung unsa ang kusgan.
28 It was usually those who are despised and considered {whom [unbelievers] despise and consider} worthless whom God chose, in order to make completely ineffective [what unbelievers consider to be important].
Gipili sa Dios kung unsa ang gipakaubos ug ang tinamay sa kalibotan. Gipili gani niya ang mga butang nga tinamod nga wala nay bili, aron himoong walay bili ang mga butang nga gitamod ingon nga bililhon.
29 [He did that] in order that no one could boast to God about being wise or important.
Gibuhat niya kini aron walay usa nga makabaton ug hinungdan sa pagpasigarbo sa iyang atubangan.
30 It is because of what God [has done] that you (have a close relationship with/belong to) Christ Jesus. God [put into effect] his wise [plan to save us] by what Christ did for us. As a result of what Christ did, God erases the record of our sins, sets us apart for himself, and frees us from our being guilty [for our sins].
Tungod sa gibuhat sa Dios, anaa na kamo karon kang Cristo Jesus, nga nahimo natong kaalam gikan sa Dios. Nahimo siyang atong pagkamatarong, pagkabalaan ug pagkatinubos.
31 So, it is the Lord whom we should boast about, [not about one spiritual leader being better than another]. We should do as ([a prophet/Jeremiah]) wrote [in the Scriptures that we should do]: Those who boast should boast [only] about what the Lord [has done].
Tungod niini, ingon sa gisulti sa kasulatan, “Tugoti nga ang nagpasigarbo, magpasigarbo diha sa Ginoo.”
