1 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

Pɔl, ban yini yua ke wan tua Jesu Kiristu tondo, ke li ŋua U Tienu buama, yeni n naataano Sɔsteni,

2 to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both theirs and ours:

Ti diani li tili ne, ki ba teni U Tienu nitaanli yaali n ye Korenta, bani yaaba n baa mi yedŋanma Jesu Kiristu yeli po, ke bi gagdi ba ke ban tua niŋanba, yeni yaaba n li taagi ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu yeli hali ban ye naani kuli, bi Diedo yeni ti yua.

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Ti Báa U Tienu yeni ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń puni yi mi yedŋanma yeni mi yanduanma!

4 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

N jaandi n Tienu yognu kuli, i po, kaa cedi yeni wan tieni i po ya ŋanbli Jesu Kiristu yeli po.

5 that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,

Kelima wani ya po, i baa ya ŋalmani n yabi, ki nua mi maama yeni mi banma,

6 according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

Ban tieni Kiristu po ya kasiedi fiigi bonŋanla i siiga, ke i kubi yeni i mɔni ke li paa.

7 so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Mɔla, i ji ki luo yenpaabu bá kuli, yinba yaaba n guu ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu dɔgdima.

8 who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

O ba pugni yi u paalu, ke bi kan fidi ki jalgi yi hali ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń ba cua ya daali.

9 faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

U Tienu tie tin dugi yua ya po, wani yua n yini yi ke yin ŋɔdi o bijua yeni li papienli.

10 And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

N naataani, n miadi yi, ki paandi yi pala, ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu po, ke yin ya taa ñɔbu, ki da pia paadma i siiga, ama yin ya taa yantiayenli yeni maalyenma.

11 for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

Kelima, n naataani, n gbadi ke Kolowe niba maadi ke a kɔnkɔna ye i siiga.

12 and I say this, that each one of you saith, 'I, indeed, am of Paul' — 'and I of Apollos,' — 'and I of Cephas,' — 'and I of Christ.'

N bua yedi ke i siiga yuakuli maadi maama ne: “Mini n tie Pɔl yua yo! Ke mini, Apolosi yua! Ke mini Sefasi yua! Ke mini Kiristu yua!

13 Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

Kiristu ji paadi paadi yo oo? Bi kpaa Pɔl i, i po, li dapɔnpɔnli po oo? Bii, bi batise yi Pɔl yeli po i?

14 I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —

N jaandi U Tienu yeni min ki batise bá niyendo yi siiga, lan ñani kirisipusi yeni Gayiwusi yaa ka.

15 that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;

lani yaa ka, bi bi ba yedi ke bi batise yi n ya yeli po i.

16 and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

N go batise Sitefanasi diegu nni yaaba; lan ñani lankani, n ji ki tama ke n batise nitiano.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

Kiristu ki sɔni nni ke min ya batise bi niba ka, ama ke min ya wangi o laabaalŋamo, Li naa go tie ke min ya wangi yeni mi yanfomaama ka, ke Kiristu daapɔnpɔnli ń da tua fanma.

18 for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,

Kelima li daapɔnpɔnli maawangma tie yanluomaama i, yaaba n bodi po; ama tinba yaaba n baa mi faabma po, mi tie U Tienu paaciamu i.

19 for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

Li go diani ki yedi ne: “N ba buoni bi yanfodanba yanfuoma, ki biani bi nunfandanba nunfanbu.

20 where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

O yanfodaano ye le? o gbanbando ye le? Ti jamaano ne ñɔniadaano ye le? U Tienu ki cedi ke ŋanduna yanfuoma kpandi gaadma aa? (aiōn g165)

21 for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

Kelima, nani ŋanduna yeni o yanfuocema ki bandi U Tienu yeni U Tienu yanfuoma, li tua U Tienu po yanbuama i, ke wan faabi yaaba n dugi o po yeni mi gaadmaama.

22 Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

Jufinba buali yaalidgu bona po, ke binilanba lingi mi yanfuoma.

23 also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

Tinba ti wangi ban kpaa ya Kiristu li daapɔnpɔnli po i; li tie janjanma jufinba po, ki tie gaadma bi nilanba po.

24 and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

Ama, ban gagdi ki yini yaaba ya po, ban tie jufinba bii nilanba aa, li tie bi po U Tienu paaciamu yeni U Tienu yanfuoma i.

25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

Kelima U Tienu gaadma pia mi yanfuoma ki cie bi nisaalba, ke U Tienu tadingu pia u paalu ki cie bi nisaalba.

26 for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

N naataani, yin ya bani ke yinba yaaba ke bi gagdi ki yini i siiga, ti gbannandi yanfodanba ki yabi, u paaciamu danba ki yabi, bi ŋalmandanba mo ki yabi.

27 but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

Ama U Tienu taa ŋanduna yanluoma bona i, ki tulni bi yanfodanba, ki taa ŋanduna tadingu bona, ki tulni u paaciamu danba.

28 and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —

U Tienu lugdi ya bona n ki pia mayuli ŋanduna nni, yeni bi niba ń fali yaali, ke laa pia fuoma, ki fanbi ban nua yaali ke li pia mayuli.

29 that no flesh may glory before Him;

O tieni lani, ke nisaalo ń da kpiagdi o yuli U Tienu kani.

30 and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

Wani ya po i, ke i fo Jesu Kiristu nni, wani yua n tua ti po yanfuoma, teginma, gagdiŋanma yeni daafaabma,

31 that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'

Nani lan diani ki maadi maama: “Yua n kpiagdi o yuli, wan kpiagi o yuli O Diedo nni.
