1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth,
Na Paora, i pai nei te Atua kia karangatia hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Hotene,
2 even to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours;
Ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ki te hunga kua oti te whakatapu i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua karangatia hei hunga tapu, ratou ko te hunga katoa i nga wahi katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, o to ratou Ariki, o to ta tou:
3 grace and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
4 I always give thanks unto my God, on your account, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; that ye are enriched by Him with every gift,
He whakawhetai tonu taku mahi ki toku Atua mo koutou, mo te aroha noa o te Atua kua homai nei ki a koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu;
5 in all utterance and knowledge;
Kua meinga hoki kia hua nga mea katoa ma koutou i roto i a ia, te whakapuaki korero, te matauranga;
6 (even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you; )
Pena hoki me te whakaaturanga i a te Karaiti kua u na i roto i a koutou:
7 so that ye are deficient in no gift, expecting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
I kore ai koutou e hapa i tetahi mea homai; i a koutou e tatari na ki te whakakitenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti:
8 who will also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Mana hoki koutou e whakau a taea noatia te mutunga, kia kore ai koutou e ekengia e te kupu i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.
9 for God is faithful by whom ye were called into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
He pono te Atua, nana nei koutou i karanga kia uru tahi ki tana Tama, ko Ihu Karaiti, ki to tatou Ariki.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement.
Na, he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, kia kotahi ta koutou korero katoa, a kia kaua he wehewehenga i roto i a koutou; engari kia tuituia koutou i runga i te ngakau kotahi, i te whaka aro kotahi.
11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you.
Kua oti hoki koutou te tohutohu mai, e oku teina, e te hunga o te whare o Koroi, tena nga tautohetohe kei roto i a koutou.
12 I mean, that each of you saith, as if of different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Anei te tikanga o taku korero, kei te ki tena o koutou na, No Paora ahau; a, No Aporo ahau; a, Ko ahau no Kipa; Ko ahau no te Karaiti.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
Kua oti koia a te Karaiti te wahi? i ripekatia ranei a Paora mo koutou? i iriiria ranei koutou i runga i te ingoa o Paora?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius:
E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, moku kihai i iriiri i tetahi o koutou, ko Kirihipu anake raua ko Kaiu;
15 so that no one can say I baptized in my own name.
Kei waiho e te tangata hei korero, naku koutou i iriiri i runga i toku ingoa.
16 I also baptized indeed the family of Stephanas: but I know not whether I baptized any other.
Naku ano i iriiri nga tangata o te whare o Tepana: i ko ake, kahore ahau i te mahara ki taku iriiringa i tetahi atu.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in fine speech, least the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Kihai hoki ahau i tonoa e te Karaiti ki te iriiri, engari ki te kauwhau i te rongopai: ehara i te mea i runga i te mohio ki nga kupu, kei whakakahoretia te ripeka o te Karaiti.
18 For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.
Ko te korero hoki o te ripeka ki te hunga e whakangaromia ana he mea wawau; ki a tatou ia, ki te hunga e whakaorangia ana, ko te kaha tera o te Atua.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
Ka oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka ngaro i ahau te whakaaro nui o te hunga whakaaro, ka kore hoki i ahau te mahara o te hunga mahara.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Kei hea te tangata whakaaro? kei hea te karaipi? kei hea te tangata tohe o tenei ao? kahore ano koia i whakakuwaretia e te Atua te whakaaro nui o tenei ao? (aiōn g165)
21 For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe.
I te mea hoki i runga i to te Atua whakaaro nui, kihai nga whakaaro nui o te ao i mohio ki te Atua, na ka pai te Atua kia meinga te kuware o te kupu kauwhau hei whakaora i te hunga e whakapono ana.
22 And whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look for wisdom, we preach Christ crucified;
Ina hoki ko ta nga Hurai he tono tohu, ko ta nga Kariki he rapu whakaaro nui:
23 to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called,
Ko ta matou ia he kauwhau i a te Karaiti i ripekatia he tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, he mea kuware ki nga Kariki;
24 both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Ki te hunga ia e karangatia ana, ahakoa Hurai, ahakoa Kariki, ko te Karaiti, ko te kaha o te Atua, ko te whakaaro mohio o te Atua.
25 Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
No te mea he kuware no te Atua nui atu te mohio i nga tangata; he ngoikore no te Atua kaha atu i nga tangata.
26 For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:
Titiro oti ki to koutou karangatanga, e oku teina, kihai i tokomaha te hunga whakaaro o te wahi ki te kikokiko, kihai i tokomaha te hunga nunui, kihai i tokomaha nga rangatira, e karangatia ana:
27 but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;
Engari i whiriwhiria e te Atua ko nga mea kuware o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai te hunga whakaaro; i whiriwhiria ano e te Atua ko nga mea ngoikore o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai nga mea kaha.
28 and things in the opinion of the world ignoble, and despicable, and accounted as nothing, hath God chosen, to abolish things that are in esteem among men;
Ko nga mea ware o te ao, ko nga mea e whakahaweatia ana, ko ena i whiriwhiria e te Atua, ae, ko nga mea kahore noa iho, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga tino mea ake;
29 that no flesh may glory in his presence.
Kia kore ai tetahi kikokiko e whakamanamana i te aroaro o te Atua.
30 But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Nana hoki koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua meinga nei ia hei take whakaaro nui mo tatou, he mea na te Atua, hei tika, hei whakatapu, hei hoko:
31 that, as it is written, He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.
Kia rite ai ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ki te whakamanamana tetahi, me whakamanamana ia ki te Ariki.
