1 Akorinitho 1
1 Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, o niĩ ndeetirwo nduĩke mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai, ndĩratũma ngeithi ici tũrĩ hamwe na mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Sosithene,
PAULOS the called, and the apostle of Jeshu Meshiha by the will of Aloha, and Sosthenis a brother,
2 Twandĩkĩra kanitha wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrĩ Korinitho, kũrĩ arĩa othe maamũrĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ na magetwo matuĩke andũ atheru, o hamwe na arĩa othe marĩ kũndũ guothe makayagĩra rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, o we Mwathani wao na witũ:
to the church of Aloha which is in Kurinthos, the called, and the saints who in Jeshu Meshiha are sanctified; and to all them who invoke the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha in every place, theirs and ours:
3 Wega na thayũ irogĩa kũrĩ inyuĩ ciumĩte kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ na Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ.
Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
4 Nĩnjookagĩria Ngai ngaatho hĩndĩ ciothe nĩ ũndũ wanyu, nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake ũrĩa mũheetwo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
I give thanks to Aloha at all times on your behalf for the grace of Aloha which is given to you through Jeshu Meshiha,
5 Nĩgũkorwo thĩinĩ wake nĩmũtongetio maũndũ-inĩ mothe, mũgatongio ũhoro-inĩ wa mĩario yanyu yothe o na ũhoro-inĩ wothe wa kũmenya maũndũ,
because in every thing you are enriched in him in all utterance and in all knowledge,
6 tondũ-rĩ, ũira witũ ũkoniĩ Kristũ nĩwekĩrirwo hinya thĩinĩ wanyu.
according to the testimony of the Meshiha, which is confirmed in you.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ kĩheo gĩa kĩĩroho o na kĩmwe mũtarĩ nakĩo, o mũgĩetagĩrĩra na kĩyo kũguũranĩrio kwa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
That you may not be deficient in one of his gifts, but be expecting the revelation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
8 Nake nĩarĩmũikaragia mũrĩ na hinya nginya mũthia, nĩguo mũtikanakorwo mũrĩ na ũcuuke mũthenya ũrĩa wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
who will confirm you to the end, that you may be without fault in the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
9 Ngai nĩ mwĩhokeku, o we ũrĩa wamwĩtire nĩguo mũkorwo na ngwatanĩro na Mũriũ Jesũ Kristũ, Mwathani witũ.
Faithful is Aloha, by whom you have been called to the fellowship of his Son Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.
10 Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndamũthaitha thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, atĩ inyuothe mũiguane o mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, nĩguo mũtikagĩe na nyamũkano gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, no mũikare mũiguanĩte, na mũrĩ na meciiria o mamwe, na ngoro o ĩmwe.
But I beseech of you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that you have all one doctrine, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfect in one mind and one sentiment.
11 Tondũ rĩĩrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩmenyithĩtio nĩ andũ amwe a kuuma nyũmba ya Kiloe atĩ nĩ kũrĩ na ngũĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.
For they of the house of Kloë have sent to me concerning you, my brethren, that there are contentions among you.
12 Ũrĩa ndĩroiga nĩ atĩrĩ: Ũmwe wanyu oigaga atĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Paũlũ”; ũngĩ akoiga atĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Apolo”; nake ũngĩ akoiga atĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Kefa”; o na ningĩ ũngĩ akoiga atĩ, “Niĩ nũmagĩrĩra Kristũ.”
For this I say, that there are some of you who say, I am of Paulos; and some who say, I am of Apollo; and some who say, I am of Kipha; and some who say, I am of the Meshiha!
13 Kaĩ Kristũ agayanĩtio? Paũlũ-rĩ, nĩwe waambirwo mũtĩ igũrũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu? Mwabatithirio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Paũlũ?
Is the Meshiha divided? Or was Paulos crucified for you? Or in the name of Paulos were you baptized?
14 Nĩngũcookia ngaatho nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu niĩ ndaabatithirie, o tiga Kirisipo na Gayo.
I thank Aloha that no man of you I have baptized, but only Krispos and Gaios;
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngiuga atĩ mwabatithirio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
lest any man should say, that in my name I have baptized.
16 Ĩĩ, o na ningĩ nĩndabatithirie andũ a nyũmba ya Stefana; no tiga acio, ndingĩririkana kana nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ndaabatithirie.
But I baptized also the house of Estepana; beyond (these) I know not that any other man I have baptized.
17 Nĩ gũkorwo Kristũ ndaandũmire ngabatithanie, no aandũmire ngahunjie Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega, no ti ndĩũheane na ũũgĩ wa mũndũ, nĩgeetha mũtharaba wa Kristũ ndũkae kwagithio kĩene.
For the Meshiha sent me not to baptize, but to preach; not with the wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Meshiha should be nullified.
18 Nĩgũkorwo ndũmĩrĩri ya mũtharaba nĩ ũrimũ kũrĩ arĩa maroora, no kũrĩ ithuĩ arĩa tũrahonokio-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio nĩ hinya wa Ngai.
FOR the doctrine of the cross to those who perish is foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of Aloha.
19 Nĩgũkorwo kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Ũũgĩ wa andũ arĩa oogĩ nĩkũniina ngaaũniina; naguo ũmenyo wa andũ arĩa imenyi ndĩkĩũtue wa tũhũ.”
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And I will take away the understanding of the prudent.
20 Mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ-rĩ, akĩrĩ kũ? Mũndũ ũrĩa mũthomu-rĩ, akĩrĩ kũ? Arĩ ha mũciiri ũrĩa ũũĩ gũciira maũndũ ma mahinda maya tũrĩ? Githĩ Ngai ndatuĩte ũũgĩ wa thĩ ĩno ũrimũ? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Or where is the disputer of this world? Hath not. Aloha made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
21 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai na ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩonire atĩ andũ a thĩ ĩno na ũũgĩ wao matikaamũmenya, akĩona kwagĩrĩire ahũthĩre maũndũ ma ũrimũ marĩa tũhunjagia nĩgeetha ahonokie arĩa mamwĩtĩkagia.
For inasmuch as in the wisdom of Aloha, the world by wisdom hath not known Aloha, it hath pleased Aloha, by the foolishness of preaching, to save them who believe.
22 Ayahudi metagia ciama, nao Ayunani macaragia ũũgĩ,
For the Jihudoyee demand signs, and the Aramoyee require wisdom;
23 no ithuĩ tũhunjagia ũhoro wa Kristũ arĩ mwambe mũtĩ igũrũ: maũndũ macio nĩ mũhĩnga kũrĩ Ayahudi na ũrimũ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ,
but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness;
24 no kũrĩ arĩa Ngai etĩte, Ayahudi o na Ayunani, Kristũ nĩwe hinya wa Ngai na ũũgĩ wa Ngai.
but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha.
25 Nĩgũkorwo ũrimũ wa Ngai nĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra ũũgĩ wa mũndũ, naguo ũhũthũ wa Ngai nĩ mũritũ gũkĩra hinya wa mũndũ.
For the foolishness of Aloha is wiser than men, and the weakness of Aloha is stronger than men.
26 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ta gĩciiriei ũrĩa mwatariĩ rĩrĩa mwetirwo. Ti aingĩ anyu oogĩ na ũũgĩ wa andũ a gũkũ thĩ; na ti aingĩ mangĩaguucĩrĩirie andũ; o na ti aingĩ maciarĩirwo mĩciĩ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ igweta.
For you see also your calling, my brethren, that not many among you are wise after the flesh, and not many among you are powerful, and not many among you are of noble birth;
27 No Ngai aathuurire maũndũ marĩa ma ũrimũ ma thĩ ĩno nĩguo aconorithie andũ arĩa oogĩ; ningĩ Ngai aathuurire maũndũ marĩa matarĩ hinya ma thĩ ĩno nĩguo aconorithie arĩa marĩ hinya.
but Aloha hath chosen the simple of the world, to shame the wise, and he hath chosen the weak of the world, to shame the mighty,
28 Agĩthuura maũndũ marĩa mahũthũ ma thĩ ĩno, na marĩa matarĩ ma gũtĩĩka, o gwata marĩa matarĩ maũndũ kũrĩ, nĩgeetha amaagithie bata,
and he hath chosen those of low birth in the world, and the outcasts, and those who are nothing, to bring to nothing those who are;
29 nĩgeetha mũndũ o na ũ ndakanetĩĩe mbere ya Ngai.
that no flesh may boast before him.
30 No rĩrĩ, nĩwe ũtũmĩte mũkorwo mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, ũrĩa ũtuĩkĩte ũũgĩ uumĩte kũrĩ Ngai nĩ ũndũ witũ, ũguo nĩ kuuga, ũthingu witũ, na ũtheru, na gũkũũrwo.
But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkwĩraha, nĩerahage nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani.”
according as it is written, He who boasteth, in the Lord let him boast.
