1 Qoronttoosa 1

1 Xoossaa sheniyan Yesuus Kiristtoosa hawaare gidanaw xeegettida Phawuloosinne, nu ishaa Sostenisi,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 Qoronttoosan de7iya Xoossaa woosa keethaas, Yesuus Kiristtoosan geeyidayssatasinne geeshshi gidana mela xeegettidayssatas; qassi enttasinne nuus Goda gidiya nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthaa ubba bessan xeegiya ubbaas;

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Xoossay, nu Aawaynne Goday Yesuus Kiristtoosi hinttew aadho keehatethaanne sarotethaa immo.

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

4 Xoossay Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara hinttew immida aadho keehatethaa gisho, taani ubba wode Xoossaa galatays.

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

5 Iyan odaninne eratetha ubban hintte durettideta.

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 Taani Kiristtoosabaa markkattidayssi tuma gideyssa hessi qonccisees.

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 Hessa gisho, hintte nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa yuussaa naagishe de7ishin, ay ayyaana imoykka hinttew paccenna.

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;

8 Nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosi simmiya wode hintte borettonnayssata gidana mela I wurssethi gakkanaw hinttena miinthana.

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Ba Na7aa, nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosara issifetethay daana mela hinttena xeegida Xoossay ammanettidayssa.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10 Ta ishato, hintte gidon shaaketethi doonnaada hintte issi wozananinne issi qofan issino gididi, daana mela nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa sunthan ta hinttena woossays.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 Ta ishato, Qelo7e soo asay hintte giddon ooshshi de7eyssa taw odidosona.

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Hinttefe issoti issoti, “Taani Phawuloosassa; taani Aphiloosassa; taani Phexiroosassa; taani Kiristtoosassa” yaageeta.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."

13 Kiristtoosi shaakettideyye? Hintte gisho, masqaliya bolla kaqettiday Phawulooseyye? Woykko hintte Phawuloosa sunthan xammaqettidetiyye?

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 Taani Qarisphoosinne Gaayoosi attin hinttefe oonakka xammaqaboonna gisho, Xoossaa galatays.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Hessa gisho, oonikka hinttena ta sunthan xammaqettideta gaanaw dandda7enna. [

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

16 Qassi Isxifaanose soo asaakka ta xammaqidayssa akeekays, shin haraa oona xammaqidaakko hassayikke.]

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

17 Kiristtoosi tana kiittiday Wonggelaa odana melassafe attin xammaqana mela gidenna. Kiristtoosi masqaliya bolla hayqqidayssi hada gidonna mela taani asa cinccatetha qaalan odikke.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.

18 Kiristtoosi masqaliya bolla hayqqidayssa odiya qaalay dhayeyssatas eeyatethi, shin nuus atteyssatas Xoossaa wolqqaa.

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Taani cinccata cinccatethaa dhayssana; akeekanchchota akeekaa balethana” yaagees.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 Yaatin, cincci awun de7ii? Higge asttamaarey awun de7ii? Woykko ha sa7aa eranchchoy awun de7ii? Xoossay ha sa7aa cinccatethaa eeyatethi oothibeennee? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

21 Ha sa7aa asay bantta cinccatethan Xoossaa eronna mela ba cinccatethan diggidi, eeyatethan taybettiya, nuuni odiya qaalan ammaneyssata ashshanaw Xoossaa shene gidis.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 Ayhudeti malaata be7anaw koyoosona; qassi Giriketi cinccatethi koyoosona.

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 Shin nuuni masqale bolla kaqettida Kiristtoosa sabbakoos. Hessi Ayhudatas dhube; qassi Giriketas eeyatethi.

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 Shin Xoossay xeegidayssatas, Ayhude gidin, Girike gidin Kiristtoosi Xoossaa wolqqaanne iya cinccatethaa.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Xoossaa eeyatethay asa cinccatethafe aadhdhees; qassi Xoossaa daaburay asa minotethafe minnees.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 Hiza, ta ishato, Xoossay hinttena xeegiya wode hintte ay mela aseekko qoppite. Asa qofan hintte giddon cinccati, wolqqaamatinne dhoqqa zareti dookkona.

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.

27 Shin Xoossay cinccata yeellayanaw alamen de7iya eeyata dooris; qassi minota yeellayanaw alamen de7iya daaburanchchota dooris.

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 Xoossay ha alamiyan gita geetettidabaa dhayssanaw, ha sa7aa kawushshabaa, kadhettidabaanne pathonnabaa dooris.

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 Oonikka Xoossaa sinthan ceeqqettonna mela hessa oothis.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Shin Xoossay hinttew Kiristtoos Yesuusara issifetethi daana mela oothis. I nuus Xoossaafe cinccatethi, xillotethi, geeshshatethinne atotethi gidis.

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Hessa gisho, Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Ceeqettiya oonikka Godan ceeqqo” yaagees.

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
