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.
Dari Paulus, yang oleh kehendak Allah dipanggil menjadi rasul Kristus Yesus, dan dari Sostenes, saudara kita,
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.
kepada jemaat Allah di Korintus, yaitu mereka yang dikuduskan dalam Kristus Yesus dan yang dipanggil menjadi orang-orang kudus, dengan semua orang di segala tempat, yang berseru kepada nama Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, yaitu Tuhan mereka dan Tuhan kita.
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.
Kasih karunia dan damai sejahtera dari Allah, Bapa kita, dan dari Tuhan Yesus Kristus menyertai kamu.
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.
Aku senantiasa mengucap syukur kepada Allahku karena kamu atas kasih karunia Allah yang dianugerahkan-Nya kepada kamu dalam Kristus Yesus.
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.
Sebab di dalam Dia kamu telah menjadi kaya dalam segala hal: dalam segala macam perkataan dan segala macam pengetahuan,
6 In that way, [he] confirmed to you that what we [(exc)] proclaimed about Christ is true.
sesuai dengan kesaksian tentang Kristus, yang telah diteguhkan di antara kamu.
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].
Demikianlah kamu tidak kekurangan dalam suatu karuniapun sementara kamu menantikan penyataan Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus.
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].
Ia juga akan meneguhkan kamu sampai kepada kesudahannya, sehingga kamu tak bercacat pada hari Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus.
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.
Allah, yang memanggil kamu kepada persekutuan dengan Anak-Nya Yesus Kristus, Tuhan kita, adalah setia.
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.
Tetapi aku menasihatkan kamu, saudara-saudara, demi nama Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, supaya kamu seia sekata dan jangan ada perpecahan di antara kamu, tetapi sebaliknya supaya kamu erat bersatu dan sehati sepikir.
11 My fellow believers, [I urge this] because some members of Chloe’s household have told me that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Sebab, saudara-saudaraku, aku telah diberitahukan oleh orang-orang dari keluarga Kloe tentang kamu, bahwa ada perselisihan di antara kamu.
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].”
Yang aku maksudkan ialah, bahwa kamu masing-masing berkata: Aku dari golongan Paulus. Atau aku dari golongan Apolos. Atau aku dari golongan Kefas. Atau aku dari golongan Kristus.
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]
Adakah Kristus terbagi-bagi? Adakah Paulus disalibkan karena kamu? Atau adakah kamu dibaptis dalam nama Paulus?
14 I thank [God] that Crispus and Gaius were the only ones from among you whom I baptized.
Aku mengucap syukur bahwa tidak ada seorangpun juga di antara kamu yang aku baptis selain Krispus dan Gayus,
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).”
sehingga tidak ada orang yang dapat mengatakan, bahwa kamu dibaptis dalam namaku.
16 [Now I remember that] I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I do not remember baptizing anyone else [there].
Juga keluarga Stefanus aku yang membaptisnya. Kecuali mereka aku tidak tahu, entahkah ada lagi orang yang aku baptis.
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.
Sebab Kristus mengutus aku bukan untuk membaptis, tetapi untuk memberitakan Injil; dan itupun bukan dengan hikmat perkataan, supaya salib Kristus jangan menjadi sia-sia.
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].
Sebab pemberitaan tentang salib memang adalah kebodohan bagi mereka yang akan binasa, tetapi bagi kita yang diselamatkan pemberitaan itu adalah kekuatan Allah.
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.
Karena ada tertulis: "Aku akan membinasakan hikmat orang-orang berhikmat dan kearifan orang-orang bijak akan Kulenyapkan."
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)
Di manakah orang yang berhikmat? Di manakah ahli Taurat? Di manakah pembantah dari dunia ini? Bukankah Allah telah membuat hikmat dunia ini menjadi kebodohan? (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.
Oleh karena dunia, dalam hikmat Allah, tidak mengenal Allah oleh hikmatnya, maka Allah berkenan menyelamatkan mereka yang percaya oleh kebodohan pemberitaan Injil.
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.
Orang-orang Yahudi menghendaki tanda dan orang-orang Yunani mencari hikmat,
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.
tetapi kami memberitakan Kristus yang disalibkan: untuk orang-orang Yahudi suatu batu sandungan dan untuk orang-orang bukan Yahudi suatu kebodohan,
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.
tetapi untuk mereka yang dipanggil, baik orang Yahudi, maupun orang bukan Yahudi, Kristus adalah kekuatan Allah dan hikmat Allah.
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.
Sebab yang bodoh dari Allah lebih besar hikmatnya dari pada manusia dan yang lemah dari Allah lebih kuat dari pada manusia.
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.
Ingat saja, saudara-saudara, bagaimana keadaan kamu, ketika kamu dipanggil: menurut ukuran manusia tidak banyak orang yang bijak, tidak banyak orang yang berpengaruh, tidak banyak orang yang terpandang.
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.
Tetapi apa yang bodoh bagi dunia, dipilih Allah untuk memalukan orang-orang yang berhikmat, dan apa yang lemah bagi dunia, dipilih Allah untuk memalukan apa yang kuat,
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].
dan apa yang tidak terpandang dan yang hina bagi dunia, dipilih Allah, bahkan apa yang tidak berarti, dipilih Allah untuk meniadakan apa yang berarti,
29 [He did that] in order that no one could boast to God about being wise or important.
supaya jangan ada seorang manusiapun yang memegahkan diri di hadapan Allah.
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].
Tetapi oleh Dia kamu berada dalam Kristus Yesus, yang oleh Allah telah menjadi hikmat bagi kita. Ia membenarkan dan menguduskan dan menebus kita.
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].
Karena itu seperti ada tertulis: "Barangsiapa yang bermegah, hendaklah ia bermegah di dalam Tuhan."
