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.
Xoossa shenen Yesus Kiristoosas kiitistanas xeygetida Phawulosapene nu isha Sostinosape,
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.
Qoronttosan diza Xoossa woossa keethas, Goda Yesus Kiristoosas duma keezidaytasine isttasara nuusara Goda gidida Goda Yesus Kiristoosa suntha awan awanka xeygiza ammanizaytara gidanas xeygetida asa wursos.
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.
Nu Aawa Xoossafe Goda Yesus Kiristoosape kiyatethine saroy intes gido.
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.
Goda Yesus Kiristoosa baggara intes imetida Xoossa kiyatetha gishshi wurso wode inte gishshika ta Xoossu galatays.
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.
Gaasoyka ay yoonka, hessikka hasa7an gidin eratetha wurson inte duretidista.
6 In that way, [he] confirmed to you that what we [(exc)] proclaimed about Christ is true.
Kiristoosa gishshi nu intes markattidayssi inte achchan minnides.
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].
Hessa gishshi inte Yessus Kiristoosay qonccana gallas naagishin ayana imotethatape aykoka intes paccena.
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].
Goda Yesus Kiristoosa nam7antho yaana gallasan inte inte bolla boroy bayinda beettana mala wursethi gakanas izi intena lo7ethi naagana.
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.
Izi ba naaza nu Goda Yesus Kiristoosa issipetethako intena xeygida Xoossi izi ammanetida Xoossukko.
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.
Ta ishato! inte garisan shaaketethi doontta mala intes issi wozinayne issi qofay daana mala inte inte garisan issino gidana mala Goda Yesus Kiristoosa sunthan ta intena woossays.
11 My fellow believers, [I urge this] because some members of Chloe’s household have told me that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Ta ishato inte garisan palamay dizayssa ta Qalo7i so asape siyadis.
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].”
Yoozika hayssa malakko; Inte garisan issi issi asati ta Phawulosa baggakko gees; baggay qasse ta Aphilosa baggakko gees; baggay qasse ta keefa baggakko gishin haray qasse ta Kiristoosa baggaakko gees.
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]
Histiko Kiristoosay shaaketi wodhidee? Inte gishshi Phawulosay kaqettidee? Woyko Phawulosa sunthan xamaqetidetii?
14 I thank [God] that Crispus and Gaius were the only ones from among you whom I baptized.
Inte giddofe Qarsoxxosapene Gayiyosape attin hara oonaka ta xamaqontta gishshi Xoossa galatays.
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).”
Hessa gishshi oonikka “Ta Phawulosa sunthan xamaqistadis” gaana asi deena.
16 [Now I remember that] I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I do not remember baptizing anyone else [there].
Tumuka Isxxifanose so asa xamaqadis. Heytape hara ta xamaqidakone ta eriza uray deena.
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.
Kiristoosay tana kiitiday mishiracho qaala yootanas attin xamaqanas gidena. Kiristoosa masiqaley hada gidontta mala ta asape gidida cinccatethan sabakikke.
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].
Masiqaleza kiitay dhayana dizaytas eeyatethikko. Gido attin attana diza nuusu gidiko Xoossa wolqakko.
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.
“Cinccata cinccateth ta issitafe dhaysana; eranchata eratetha ta hada oothana” geeteti geesha maxaafan xaafettides.
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)
Cinccay awan dizee? Tamarida eray awan dizee? Hayssa wodeza piligi erizay awan dizee? Xoossi ha alameza erateth eeyatethan kessibeynee? (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.
Xoossa eratethafe dendidayssan alamey ba eratetha giddon Xoossu eroy xoonin sabako eeyatethan ammanizayta ashshanas Xoossa shene gidides.
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.
Ay wodeka Ayhudati duma malata koyettes. Girike asati qasse erateth koyettes.
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.
Nuna gidiko kaqetida Kiristoosa sabakosu. Hessika Ayhudatas dhuphekko. Hanko ammanontta deretas qasse eeyatethikko.
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.
Xoossi xeygidaytas istti Ayhudista gidin woykko Girike dere asa gidikkoka Kiristoosay Xoossa wolqane Xoossa eratethikko.
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.
Gaasoyka asa erape Xoossa eeyatethi aadhida eratethikko. Asa minotethafe Xoossa laafatethi aadhes.
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.
Ta ishato kase inte xeygetiza wode inte ay mala asakkone ane qopite. Asa qofa mala gidiko intefe darizayti erata gidekista. Intefe daroti waolqqay bayindaytakko. Darotikka gita keeththa asape yeletibeykkista.
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.
Gido attin Xoossi erata yeelachanas derape eeyata doorides. Xoossi minota yeelachanas alamezape daburanchata doorides.
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].
Xoossi hanko ammanontta asa achan deettes geeteti erettiza miishata bayinda miisha mala oothana hayssa alamezan leqettidaytane kawuyidayta hada milatizayta doorides.
29 [He did that] in order that no one could boast to God about being wise or important.
Hessika izi oothiday oonkka iza sinthan ceeqetontta malakko.
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].
Intena qasse Xoossi Yesus Kiristoosara issifetethi deyana mala oothides. Hessa gishshi Xooss Yesus Kiristoosa nu erateth, nu xiilloteth, nu geeshatethine nuna ashshizade gidana mala oothides.
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].
Hesa gishshi kase “Ceeqiza uray Godan ceeqo” geeteti geesha maxaafan xaafetida malakko.
