1 Qoronttosa 1
1 Xoossa shenen Yesus Kiristoosas kiitistanas xeygetida Phawulosapene nu isha Sostinosape,
Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
2 Qoronttosan diza Xoossa woossa keethas, Goda Yesus Kiristoosas duma keezidaytasine isttasara nuusara Goda gidida Goda Yesus Kiristoosa suntha awan awanka xeygiza ammanizaytara gidanas xeygetida asa wursos.
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.
3 Nu Aawa Xoossafe Goda Yesus Kiristoosape kiyatethine saroy intes gido.
May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Goda Yesus Kiristoosa baggara intes imetida Xoossa kiyatetha gishshi wurso wode inte gishshika ta Xoossu galatays.
I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
5 Gaasoyka ay yoonka, hessikka hasa7an gidin eratetha wurson inte duretidista.
that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.
6 Kiristoosa gishshi nu intes markattidayssi inte achchan minnides.
Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,
7 Hessa gishshi inte Yessus Kiristoosay qonccana gallas naagishin ayana imotethatape aykoka intes paccena.
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,
8 Goda Yesus Kiristoosa nam7antho yaana gallasan inte inte bolla boroy bayinda beettana mala wursethi gakanas izi intena lo7ethi naagana.
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.
9 Izi ba naaza nu Goda Yesus Kiristoosa issipetethako intena xeygida Xoossi izi ammanetida Xoossukko.
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.
10 Ta ishato! inte garisan shaaketethi doontta mala intes issi wozinayne issi qofay daana mala inte inte garisan issino gidana mala Goda Yesus Kiristoosa sunthan ta intena woossays.
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.
11 Ta ishato inte garisan palamay dizayssa ta Qalo7i so asape siyadis.
For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
12 Yoozika hayssa malakko; Inte garisan issi issi asati ta Phawulosa baggakko gees; baggay qasse ta Aphilosa baggakko gees; baggay qasse ta keefa baggakko gishin haray qasse ta Kiristoosa baggaakko gees.
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."
13 Histiko Kiristoosay shaaketi wodhidee? Inte gishshi Phawulosay kaqettidee? Woyko Phawulosa sunthan xamaqetidetii?
Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
14 Inte giddofe Qarsoxxosapene Gayiyosape attin hara oonaka ta xamaqontta gishshi Xoossa galatays.
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
15 Hessa gishshi oonikka “Ta Phawulosa sunthan xamaqistadis” gaana asi deena.
for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
16 Tumuka Isxxifanose so asa xamaqadis. Heytape hara ta xamaqidakone ta eriza uray deena.
I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
17 Kiristoosay tana kiitiday mishiracho qaala yootanas attin xamaqanas gidena. Kiristoosa masiqaley hada gidontta mala ta asape gidida cinccatethan sabakikke.
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.
18 Masiqaleza kiitay dhayana dizaytas eeyatethikko. Gido attin attana diza nuusu gidiko Xoossa wolqakko.
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.
19 “Cinccata cinccateth ta issitafe dhaysana; eranchata eratetha ta hada oothana” geeteti geesha maxaafan xaafettides.
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."
20 Cinccay awan dizee? Tamarida eray awan dizee? Hayssa wodeza piligi erizay awan dizee? Xoossi ha alameza erateth eeyatethan kessibeynee? (aiōn g165)
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)
21 Xoossa eratethafe dendidayssan alamey ba eratetha giddon Xoossu eroy xoonin sabako eeyatethan ammanizayta ashshanas Xoossa shene gidides.
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.
22 Ay wodeka Ayhudati duma malata koyettes. Girike asati qasse erateth koyettes.
Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
23 Nuna gidiko kaqetida Kiristoosa sabakosu. Hessika Ayhudatas dhuphekko. Hanko ammanontta deretas qasse eeyatethikko.
while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
24 Xoossi xeygidaytas istti Ayhudista gidin woykko Girike dere asa gidikkoka Kiristoosay Xoossa wolqane Xoossa eratethikko.
but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Gaasoyka asa erape Xoossa eeyatethi aadhida eratethikko. Asa minotethafe Xoossa laafatethi aadhes.
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.
26 Ta ishato kase inte xeygetiza wode inte ay mala asakkone ane qopite. Asa qofa mala gidiko intefe darizayti erata gidekista. Intefe daroti waolqqay bayindaytakko. Darotikka gita keeththa asape yeletibeykkista.
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.
27 Gido attin Xoossi erata yeelachanas derape eeyata doorides. Xoossi minota yeelachanas alamezape daburanchata doorides.
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;
28 Xoossi hanko ammanontta asa achan deettes geeteti erettiza miishata bayinda miisha mala oothana hayssa alamezan leqettidaytane kawuyidayta hada milatizayta doorides.
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;
29 Hessika izi oothiday oonkka iza sinthan ceeqetontta malakko.
to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
30 Intena qasse Xoossi Yesus Kiristoosara issifetethi deyana mala oothides. Hessa gishshi Xooss Yesus Kiristoosa nu erateth, nu xiilloteth, nu geeshatethine nuna ashshizade gidana mala oothides.
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;
31 Hesa gishshi kase “Ceeqiza uray Godan ceeqo” geeteti geesha maxaafan xaafetida malakko.
in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
