< 1 Corinthians 1 >
1 Paul, called by Christ Jesus to be an apostle by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Paulu, ẹni ti a pé láti jẹ́ aposteli Kristi Jesu nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti Sostene arákùnrin wa,
2 to the church of God at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, who are called to be holy people. We are also writing to all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours.
Sí ìjọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ni Kọrinti, sí àwọn ti a sọ di mímọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu àti àwọn ti a pè láti jẹ́ mímọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn ni ibikíbi ti ń pe orúkọ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi ẹni ti ń ṣe Olúwa tiwọn àti ti àwa náà:
3 May grace and peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà fún yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wa àti Olúwa wa tí í ṣe Jesu Kristi.
4 I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God that Christ Jesus gave to you.
Nígbà gbogbo ni mo ń dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run fún oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ tó fi fún un yín nínú Kristi Jesu.
5 He has made you rich in every way, in all speech and with all knowledge,
Nítorí nínú rẹ̀ ni a ti sọ yín di ọlọ́rọ̀ nínú ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ yín gbogbo àti nínú ìmọ̀ yín gbogbo.
6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed as true among you.
Nítorí ẹ̀rí wa nínú Kristi ni a ti fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nínú yín.
7 Therefore you lack no spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Nítorí náà ẹ̀yin kò ṣe aláìní nínú èyíkéyìí ẹ̀bùn ẹ̀mí, bí ẹ̀yin ṣe ń retí ìfarahàn Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Òun yóò sì mú yín dúró títí dé òpin, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè jẹ́ aláìlábùkù ní ọjọ́ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
9 God is faithful, who called you into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ọlọ́run, nípasẹ̀ ẹni ti a pè yín sínú ìdàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọmọ rẹ̀ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, jẹ́ Olóòtítọ́.
10 Now I urge you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree, and that there be no divisions among you. I urge that you be joined together with the same mind and by the same purpose.
Mo bẹ̀ yín ẹ̀yin ara, ní orúkọ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi, pé kí gbogbo yín fohùn ṣọ̀kan kí ó máa ṣe sí ìyapa láàrín yín, àti pé kí a lè ṣe yín pé ní inú àti ìmọ̀ kan náà.
11 For it has been made clear to me, my brothers, by Chloe's people that there are factions among you.
Ẹ̀yin ará mi, àwọn kan láti ilé Kloe sọ di mí mọ̀ fún mi pé ìjà ń bẹ́ láàrín yín.
12 I mean this: Each one of you says, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”
Ohun tí mo ń sọ ní pé, olúkúlùkù yín ń wí pé, “Èmí tẹ̀lé Paulu”; “Èmi tẹ̀lé Apollo”; òmíràn wí pé, “Èmi tẹ̀lé Kefa, Peteru”; àti ẹlòmíràn wí pé, “Èmi tẹ̀lé Kristi.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Ǹjẹ́ a ha pín Kristi bí? Ṣé a kan Paulu mọ́ àgbélébùú fún un yín bí? Ǹjẹ́ a tẹ̀ yín bọ omi ní orúkọ Paulu bí?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius.
Inú mi dún púpọ̀ pé èmi kò tẹ ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín bọ omi yàtọ̀ sí Krisipu àti Gaiusi.
15 This was so that no one would say that you were baptized into my name.
Nítorí náà kò sí ẹni tí ó lè sọ pé òun ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi ní orúkọ èmi fúnra ara mi.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know if I baptized any others.)
(Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo tún tẹ ìdílé Stefana bọ omi; lẹ́yìn èyí, èmí kò rántí pé mo tẹ ẹnikẹ́ni bọ omi mọ́ níbikíbi).
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel. He did not send me to preach with words of human wisdom, so that the cross of Christ should not be emptied of its power.
Nítorí Kristi kò rán mi láti máa ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi, ṣùgbọ́n ó rán mi láti máa wàásù ìyìnrere: kì í ṣe nípa ọgbọ́n ènìyàn, kí a máa ṣe sọ àgbélébùú Kristi dí aláìlágbára.
18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are dying. But among those whom God is saving, it is the power of God.
Nítorí pé òmùgọ̀ ni ọ̀rọ̀ àgbélébùú jẹ́ sí àwọn tí ń ṣègbé, ṣùgbọ́n fún àwa tí a ń gbàlà ó jẹ́ agbára Ọlọ́run.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will frustrate the understanding of the intelligent.”
Nítorí a tí kọ ọ́ pé: “Èmi yóò pa ọgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n run, òye àwọn olóye ni Èmi yóò sọ di asán.”
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this world? Has not God turned the wisdom of the world into foolishness? (aiōn )
Àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n náà ha dá? Àwọn akọ̀wé náà ha dà? Àwọn onímọ̀ ìjìnlẹ̀ ayé yìí ha dà? Ọlọ́run kò ha ti sọ ọgbọ́n ayé yìí di aṣiwèrè? (aiōn )
21 Since the world in its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.
Nítorí pé, nínú ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run, ayé kò le mọ̀ òun nípa ọgbọ́n àti ìṣeféfé wọn. Ó sì gba gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́ là nípa ìwàásù tí àwọn aráyé pè ní òmùgọ̀ àti ọ̀rọ̀ ọ yẹ̀yẹ́.
22 For Jews ask for miraculous signs and Greeks seek wisdom.
Nítorí pé àwọn Júù ń béèrè àmì, àwọn Helleni sí ń ṣàfẹ́rí ọgbọ́n,
23 But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks.
ṣùgbọ́n àwa ń wàásù Kristi ti a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú, òkúta ìkọ̀sẹ̀ àwọn Júù àti òmùgọ̀ fún àwọn kèfèrí.
24 But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ as the power and the wisdom of God.
Ṣùgbọ́n sí àwọn tí Ọlọ́run tí pè, àti àwọn Júù àti àwọn Giriki, Kristi ni agbára Ọlọ́run, àti ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than people, and the weakness of God is stronger than people.
Nítorí pé òmùgọ̀ Ọlọ́run jù ọgbọ́n ènìyàn lọ; àti aláìlera Ọlọ́run ni agbára jù ìlera ènìyàn lọ.
26 Look at your calling, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards. Not many of you were powerful. Not many of you were of noble birth.
Ará, ẹ kíyèsi ohun tí ẹ jẹ́ nígbà tí a pè yín. Kì í ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ yín jẹ ọlọ́gbọ́n nípa àgbékalẹ̀ ti ènìyàn, tàbí ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín jẹ́ ènìyàn pàtàkì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín jẹ́ ọlọ́lá nípa ibi tí a gbé bí i.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose what is weak in the world to shame what is strong.
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run tí yàn àwọn òmùgọ̀ ayé láti fi dààmú àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n; Ọlọ́run sì ti yàn àwọn ohun aláìlera ayé láti fi dààmú àwọn ohun tí ó ni agbára.
28 God chose what is low and despised in the world. He even chose things that are regarded as nothing, to bring to nothing things that are held as valuable.
Àti àwọn ohun tí ayé tí kò ní ìyìn, àti àwọn ohun tí a kẹ́gàn, ni Ọlọ́run sì ti yàn, àní àwọn ohun tí kò sí, láti sọ àwọn ohun tí ó wà di asán.
29 He did this so that no one would have a reason to boast before him.
Nítorí kí ó má ba à sí ẹnìkan tí yóò ṣògo níwájú rẹ̀.
30 Because of what God did, now you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God. He became our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
Nítorí rẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin ṣe wà nínú Kristi Jesu ẹni ti ó jásí ọgbọ́n fún wa láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run—èyí ń ni, òdodo, ìwà mímọ́ àti ìràpadà wa.
31 As a result, as scripture says, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Nítorí náà, bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, “Ẹni ti ó bá ń ṣògo kí ó máa ṣògo nínú Olúwa.”
