7 ὥστε ὑμᾶς μὴ ὑστερεῖσθαι ἐν μηδενὶ χαρίσματι, ἀπεκδεχομένους τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
Jaanong lo na le letlhogonolo le tshegofatso; mpho nngwe le nngwe ya semowa le nonofo go dira go rata ga one, dilo tse ke tsa lona mo lobakeng lono lwa go letela go bowa ga Morena wa rona Jesu.
8 ὃς καὶ βεβαιώσει ὑμᾶς ἕως τέλους, ἀνεγκλήτους ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
O tlaa lo tlhomamisa go ya bokhutlong gore lo tlhokisiwe boleo le molato ka letsatsi le o tlaa bowang ka lone.
9 Πιστὸς ὁ Θεός, δι᾿ οὗ ἐκλήθητε εἰς κοινωνίαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.

10 Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ λέγητε πάντες, καὶ μὴ ᾖ ἐν ὑμῖν σχίσματα, ἦτε δὲ κατηρτισμένοι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοῒ καὶ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμῃ.
Mme bakaulengwe ba ba tlotlegang, ke a lo kopa mo leineng la Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete go khutlisa dikganetsano mo gareng ga lona. A go nne le kutlwano e e siameng gore go se ka ga nna le dikgaogano mo phuthegong. Ke a lo kopa gore lo nne mogopolo mongwe fela, lo kopane mo kgopolong le mo boikaelelong.
11 Ἐδηλώθη γάρ μοι περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί μου, ὑπὸ τῶν Χλόης, ὅτι ἔριδες ἐν ὑμῖν εἰσι.
Gonne bangwe ba ba nnang kwa tlung ya ga Keloe ba mpoleletse ka dikgane-tsano le dikgogakgogano tsa lona, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang.
12 Λέγω δὲ τοῦτο, ὅτι ἕκαστος ὑμῶν λέγει, Ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, Ἐγὼ δὲ Ἀπολλώ, Ἐγὼ δὲ Κηφᾶ, Ἐγὼ δὲ Χριστοῦ.
Bangwe ba lona ba re, “Ke molatedi wa ga Paulo,” ba bangwe ba re ke balatedi ba ga, Apolose kgotsa Petere, ba bangwe mo bojosing jwa bone ba re ke balatedi ba boammaaruri ba ga Keresete.
13 Μεμέρισται ὁ Χριστός; Μὴ Παῦλος ἐσταυρώθη ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἢ εἰς τὸ ὄνομα Παύλου ἐβαπτίσθητε;
Mme jalo, e tswa e le ruri lo kgaogantse Keresete. Mme a nna Paulo, ke swetse dibe tsa lona? A go na le mongwe wa lona yo o kolobeditsweng mo leineng la me?
14 Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ ὅτι οὐδένα ὑμῶν ἐβάπτισα, εἰ μὴ Κρίσπον καὶ Γάϊον·
Ke leboga thata ka nako e ka gore ga ke a kolobetsa ope wa lona fa e se Kerisepo le Gaio fela.
15 ἵνα μή τις εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβάπτισα.
Gonne jaanong ga go na ope yo o ka akanyang gore ke ne ke batla go simolola sengwe se sesha; ke simolola “phuthego ya ga Paulo.”
16 Ἐβάπτισα δὲ καὶ τὸν Στεφανᾶ οἶκον· λοιπὸν οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τινα ἄλλον ἐβάπτισα.
Ee, ke kolobeditse ba ntlo ya ga Setefanase. Ga ke gakologelwe gore a ke kile ka kolobetsa mongwe o sele.
17 Οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλέ με Χριστὸς βαπτίζειν, ἀλλ᾿ εὐαγγελίζεσθαι· οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ λόγου, ἵνα μὴ κενωθῇ ὁ σταυρὸς τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
Gonne Keresete ga a nthomela go tla go kolobetsa, fa e se go rera Mafoko a a Molemo; mme le thero ya me e utlwala e le bokoa, gonne ga ke tlatse thero ya me ka mafoko a a boteng le tumo ya megopolo e e kwa godimo, ke tshaba go tima nonofo e kgolo e e mo molaetseng o o motlhofo wa mokgoro wa ga Jesu Keresete.
18 Ὁ λόγος γὰρ ὁ τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῖς μὲν ἀπολλυμένοις μωρία ἐστί, τοῖς δὲ σῳζομένοις ἡμῖν δύναμις Θεοῦ ἐστι.
Ke itse sentle gore go utlwala go le boeleele thata mo go ba ba latlhegang, fa ba utlwa gore Jesu o swetse go ba boloka. Mme rona ba re bolokilweng re lemoga molaetsa o e le nonofo ya Modimo.
19 Γέγραπται γάρ, Ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν, καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω.
Gonne Modimo wa re, “Ke tlaa senya maano otlhe a batho a poloko, ga go re sepe gore a a ka bo a lebega a le botlhale go le kae, le go tlhokomologa megopolo e e botoka ya batho, le e leng batlhalefi tota.”
20 Ποῦ σοφός; Ποῦ γραμματεύς; Ποῦ συζητητὴς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου; Οὐχὶ ἐμώρανεν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν σοφίαν τοῦ κόσμου τούτου; (aiōn g165)
Jaanong go ka tweng ka batho ba ba botlhale, barutegi ba, bakanoki ba ba botlhale ba dilo tse di kgolo tsa lefatshe le? Modimo o ba dirile gore botlhe ba lebege e le dieleele, wa ba wa supa botlhale jwa bone bo sena mosola. (aiōn g165)
21 Ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔγνω ὁ κόσμος διὰ τῆς σοφίας τὸν Θεόν, εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεὸς διὰ τῆς μωρίας τοῦ κηρύγματος σῶσαι τοὺς πιστεύοντας.
Gonne Modimo mo botlhaleng jwa one o bone gore lefatshe ga le kitla le bona Modimo ka botlhale jwa motho; mme wa tsena wa boloka botlhe ba ba dumetseng molaetsa wa one o lefatshe le o bitsang boeleele le bomatla.
22 Ἐπειδὴ καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι σημεῖον αἰτοῦσι, καὶ Ἕλληνες σοφίαν ζητοῦσιν·
Go bonala go le boeleele mo Bajuteng ka gore ba batla sesupo se se tswang legodimong e le tshupo ya gore se se rerwang ke boammaaruri; mme ke boeleele mo go Badichaba ka gore ba dumela fela se se dumalanang le botlhale jwa bone le go re se lebega se le sentle mo go bone.
23 ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, Ἰουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον, Ἕλλησι δὲ μωρίαν·
Jalo fa re rera kaga Keresete jaaka a swetse go ba boloka, Bajuta ba a kgopisega mme Badichaba bone ba re ke diphirimisi fela.
24 αὐτοῖς δὲ τοῖς κλητοῖς, Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησι, Χριστὸν Θεοῦ δύναμιν καὶ Θεοῦ σοφίαν.
Mme Modimo o butse matlho a ba ba batlang poloko, Bajuta mmogo le Badichaba go bona gore Keresete ke nonofo e kgolo ya Modimo go ba boloka; Keresete ka bo ene ke pinagare ya leano la Modimo mo polokong ya bone.
25 Ὅτι τὸ μωρὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ σοφώτερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστί, καὶ τὸ ἀσθενὲς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἰσχυρότερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστί.
Leano le la Modimo le go tweng ke “Boeleele” le botlhale thata go gaisa leano la batlhalefi, mme Modimo mo bokoeng jwa one, jwa gore Keresete a swe mo mokgorong o nonofile go gaisa batho botlhe.
26 Βλέπετε γὰρ τὴν κλῆσιν ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οὐ πολλοὶ σοφοὶ κατὰ σάρκα, οὐ πολλοὶ δυνατοί, οὐ πολλοὶ εὐγενεῖς·
Lemogang mo go lona, bakaulengwe ba ba tlotlegang, gore ba se kae fela ba lona ba ba latelang Keresete ba na le maina a magolo kgotsa nonofo kgotsa dikhumo.
27 ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, ἵνα τοὺς σοφοὺς καταισχύνῃ· καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά·
Mo boemong jwa moo, Modimo o tlhophile ka bomo fela go dirisa ditlhaloganyo tse batho ba lefatshe ba di bonang di le boeleele, ebile di sena mosola, e le go tlhabisa ditlhong batho ba lefatshe le ba ba bonwang ba tlhalefile thata, ebile ba le bagolo.
28 καὶ τὰ ἀγενῆ τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὰ ἐξουθενημένα ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, καὶ τὰ μὴ ὄντα, ἵνα τὰ ὄντα καταργήσῃ·
O tlhophile leano le le nyaditsweng ke lefatshe, le le kailweng e se sepe, mme a le dirisa go latofatsa batho ba lefatshe le ba tlotlang,
29 ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.
gore gongwe le gongwe ope a se ka a ikgantsha fa pele ga Modimo.
30 Ἐξ αὐτοῦ δὲ ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ὃς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν σοφία ἀπὸ Θεοῦ, δικαιοσύνη τε καὶ ἁγιασμός, καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις·
Gonne go tswa fela kwa Modimong gore lo nne le botshelo ka Jesu Keresete. O re bontshitse leano la Modimo la poloka; ke ene yo o dirileng gore re amogelesege mo Modimong; o re itshekisitse a bo a re itshepisa a bo a intsha thekololo ya poloko ya rona.
31 ἵνα, καθὼς γέγραπται, Ὁ καυχώμενος, ἐν Κυρίῳ καυχάσθω.
Jaaka mo dikwalong go twe, “Fa mongwe a ikgantsha a a ikgantshe fela kaga se Morena o se dirileng.”
