1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
Yesu Kristi ni kpayem lrji ayo Bulus du ri nimi bi wa wa tindu niwu ni kpayem Bachi ni wawu vayimbu sastanisu.
2 To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.
Ni biwa bahe ni tra wubre irji ni Korinti nbi wa ba ke be ni ba. ninde irji da yo ba nisan ninde waba glaba niyi Yesu ni bi waba he ko nintse da kpayem ninde irji wumba ni wumbu.
3 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Du alheri ma nison wubima du hei niyi wanda ni Rji Bachi Timbu wa wawu Yesu Kristi
4 I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
Me kiri ni irji mu cacu ni tu mbi don alheri wa Bachi Kristi Yesu ni noyia.
5 that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.
Anoyi gbugbu u nitre du ni ilimi.
6 Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,
Na wa janji tre irji hla ni yiwu wawumbia.
7 so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Naki bina wa kpi u ruhu hama na wandi bi gbenbayani u Rji Yesu Kristi.
8 who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Da du yi kpayemen didi ine har hi kle du ba na ka tou yi ni latre ni ye Yesu Kristi na.
9 God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Irji wawuyi wu amina wayata yoni mi bi zumata bi waba yi biyaya ninde vrema Yesu Kristi Bachi mbu
10 Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
Zi za'a me bre yi mir vayi ninde Yesu Kristi na gatumbi tie kankana ni son kanka nikpambi na me bre yi katumbi si son ni suron bi riri ni manufa riri.
11 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
Me woh son bi mir vayi miniko kuluwi ba la ni mu andi meme son a he ni yi.
12 What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."
A bari ba tre “Me he ni kogon Bulus” ko me he ni kogon Afolos ko “Me he ni kogon Kefas” ko “Me he ni kogon Yesu Almasihu”.
13 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
Almasihu agakpama tin kankan? Ba klo Bulus don biyi? Bayi Batisma yiwu ninde Bulus?
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
Mekiri ni Rji mena yi baptisma niri mbinas me to Kiristus wu Gayus me yi nihawu.
15 for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
Na ki ba wanda ni tre bayi baptisma niwu ninde mu.
16 I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
(Ime metou me yi Baptisma ni ndi biko Sitifanus, Bayaki me na tou ko meyi Baptisma ni nro na)
17 Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
Meto irji ana ton me du me ye yi Baptisma na, ama don meye hla tre ma bani wani tre wu wayo ba yada di iko Baci na zama ni kaskanci na
18 For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.
Naki u tre gicciye na he ma'na nishishi bi wa ba si halakaa na. Ama bi wa ba fe son kasai kasai a hi iko Rji.
19 For so it stands written, "I will exhibit the nothingness of the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought."
Ihlan tre ma ahla “me kpa tre hi tice ni ba to zan ko nha me kpa du ichemba timeme. Wa batre ba to zan ko nha.
20 Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness? (aiōn g165)
Wu to zan ko nha ahe nintse? Ina ndi wa tre wawu masani? Ina indi watre niwawu tokpe zan ko nha ni gbugbu'u? Irji na hla wawu kma indi wuce kma zama wawu na. (aiōn g165)
21 For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.
Du gbugbu ni wur wah ni drima anato Irji na wu Irji a sisuron ni biwa da a kpaba u ba kpayem niw-u ninko wotamba wa bla wa'azi
22 Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
U yawudawa ba tre baha ba bida ni alajibai wu helinawa nibaba ba bida ni hikima.
23 while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
Du naki kita khla tre Rji ni gicciyaye tita wu kubza yahudawa ni iri wauta wu helinawa.
24 but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Naki biwa irji rhiga yo ba ni yahudawa ni helinawa kyi hla tre irji na yadda a zama gbi gle ma ni hikima Rji.
25 Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.
Wauta u Rji a zan hikima wundi wureshi gbe-glen Rji a zan wundi
26 For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.
Toh yombi mir ya. Ana gbugbuwubi ba he ni hikima ni shishi indi na. Ana wa wumbi bi he ni gbe-gble na. Anha wawumbi bi fe gni yi ni ko bi cu na.
27 But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;
Irji a cu kpi bi meme ma ni gbu-gbu wa ni nondi bi hikima shan. Irji cu kpi bi hama ni gbegble du ba no kpi bi gbegble shan.
28 and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;
Irji ni ju kpi wa bana he ni daraja ni ya lega ni gbu-gbu. Aniya da jwu kpi wa ba hamanifani du ba me ni kpe ufani zama banza.
29 to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
A tei naki du dyo duna ya di wawu hi kpe ni shishi ma na.
30 But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;
Domin kpe wa Rji a tei zizan bi he miyi ninde Rji wandi a he ni hikima ni tawu riji ni Rji. Ahenhaki adalcin mbu wu Tsarlu mbu ni fansarmbu.
31 in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
Du naki yada ba nha naki, indi wu wurwo ni san du yi fahariya ni ninde Irji.
