1 Korint 1
1 Mwen menm Pòl, yon moun Bondye menm te deside rele pou sèvi Jezikri apòt, m'ap ekri lèt sa a, ansanm ak Sostèn, frè nou,
Paul called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ, through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 pou nou tout ki nan legliz Bondye a lavil Korent. Bondye te rele nou pou viv apa pou li, nou tout ki pou Bondye nan Jezikri, ansanm ak tout lòt moun toupatou k'ap rele non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Paske Jezikri se Seyè yo menm jan li Seyè nou tou.
Vnto the Church of God, which is at Corinthus, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, Saintes by calling, with all that call on the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ in euery place, both their Lord, and ours:
3 Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
4 Se tout tan m'ap di Bondye mèsi pou sa l' fè pou nou menm, frè lavil Korent yo, pou favè li te fè nou jwenn nan Jezikri.
I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe for the grace of God, which is giuen you in Iesus Christ,
5 Pandan n'ap viv ansanm ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou rich nèt, li ban nou tout kalite kado: kado sa yo penmèt nou preche pawòl la tout jan epi yo ban nou anpil konesans.
That in all things ye are made rich in him, in all kinde of speach, and in all knowledge:
6 Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la fin pran rasin nèt nan mitan nou.
As the testimonie of Iesus Christ hath bene confirmed in you:
7 Se sak fè, nou pa manke anyen nan kado Bondye bay yo, pandan n'ap tann jou lè Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pral parèt la.
So that ye are not destitute of any gift: wayting for the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ.
8 Bondye va kenbe nou fèm jouk sa kaba. Konsa, yo p'ap jwenn anyen pou repwoche nou lè jou Jezikri, Seyè nou an, va rive.
Who shall also confirme you vnto the ende, that ye may be blamelesse, in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ.
9 Bondye ki rele nou pou nou ka viv ansanm ak Pitit li, Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.
God is faithfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.
10 Frè m' yo, men sa m'ap mande nou, nan non Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Tanpri, mete nou dakò sou tout bagay. Pa kite divizyon mete pye nan mitan nou. Okontrè, se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt. Mete yon sèl lide nan tèt nou, se pou nou tout gen yon sèl pawòl.
Nowe I beseeche you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thing, and that there be no dissensions among you: but be ye knit together in one mind, and in one iudgement.
11 Mwen di nou sa, frè m' yo, paske m' vin konnen nan bouch kèk moun nan fanmi Kloe a, te gen gwo kont pete nan mitan nou.
For it hath bene declared vnto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 Men sa m' vle di: Chak moun ap di yon bagay diferan. Sa a di: mwen se moun Pòl. Yon lòt di: mwen se moun Apolòs. Yon lòt ankò di: mwen se moun Pyè. Yon lòt ankò: mwen se moun Kris la.
Nowe this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am Pauls, and I am Apollos, and I am Cephas, and I am Christs.
13 Nan kondisyon sa a, Kris la gen lè divize? Eske se Pòl yo te kloure sou kwa a pou nou? Osinon, èske se nan non Pòl yo te batize nou?
Is Christ deuided? was Paul crucified for you? either were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Mwen di Bondye mèsi dèske mwen pa t' batize nou yonn, an wetan Krispis ak Gayis.
I thanke God, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus, and Gaius,
15 Konsa, pesonn pa ka di yo te batize nan non Pòl.
Lest any should say, that I had baptized into mine owne name.
16 (Mwen t'ap bliye sa: mwen te batize Estefanas ak moun lakay li yo tou. Men, mwen pa chonje m' te batize pesonn lòt ankò.)
I baptized also the houshold of Stephanas: furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptized any other.
17 Epitou, Kris la pa t' voye m' batize moun. Li te voye m' anonse Bon Nouvèl la, epi se pou m' anonse l' san m' pa bezwen sèvi ak bèl diskou bon konprann lèzòm, pou m' pa fè lanmò Kris la sou kwa a pase pou anyen.
For CHRIST sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospel, not with wisdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ should be made of none effect.
18 Pawòl ki fè nou konnen jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a, se pawòl moun fou pou moun k'ap peri yo. Men, pou nou menm ki delivre yo se pouvwa Bondye.
For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God.
19 Se sa menm ki te ekri nan Liv la: M'ap detwi bon konprann moun lespri yo. M'ap voye konesans save yo jete.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent.
20 Bon, lè sa a, moun ki gen bon konprann yo, moun ki fò yo, moun ki renmen diskite dapre prensip lèzòm yo, kisa yo gen pou di ankò? Eske Bondye pa fè wè se bon konprann lèzòm lan ki pawòl moun fou? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse? (aiōn g165)
21 Se sak fè, moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan, avèk tout bon konprann yo, yo pa kapab rekonèt Bondye kote Bondye ap fè wè bon konprann li. Se poutèt sa, Bondye deside delivre tout moun ki kwè nan pawòl moun fou n'ap anonse a.
For seeing the worlde by wisedome knewe not God in the wisedome of GOD, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that beleeue:
22 Yon bò, jwif yo ap mande mirak, yon lòt bò grèk yo ap chache bon konprann.
Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome.
23 Men nou menm, n'ap fè konnen Kris yo te kloure sou kwa a. Pou jwif yo, sa se yon wòch k'ap fè yo bite. Pou moun ki pa jwif yo, sa se bagay moun fou.
But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse:
24 Men pou tout moun Bondye rele yo, kit yo jwif, kit yo pa jwif, n'ap fè konnen Kris la ki bon konprann Bondye a ak pouvwa Bondye a.
But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God.
25 Paske, sa ki sanble yon bagay moun fou Bondye ap fè a, li pi bon konprann pase bon konprann lèzòm. Sa ki sanble yon feblès Bondye ap moutre, li pi fò pase fòs lèzòm.
For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men.
26 Koulye a, frè m' yo, chonje ki kalite moun nou te ye lè Bondye te rele nou. Pa gen anpil nan nou ki gen bon konprann dapre sa lèzòm rele bon konprann, pa gen anpil grannèg, ni anpil moun gran fanmi.
For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
27 Se konsa, Bondye chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun sòt pou l' fè moun ki gen bon konprann yo wont. Li chwazi moun lèzòm konsidere tankou moun ki fèb pou l' fè grannèg yo wont.
But God hath chosen the foolish thinges of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confound the mightie things,
28 Li chwazi moun lèzòm gade pou anyen, moun yo meprize, moun ki pa menm egziste pou yo, pou li te ka kraze sa ki gen enpòtans pou moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn.
And vile things of the worlde and thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, and thinges which are not, to bring to nought thinges that are,
29 Konsa, pa gen moun ki ka fè grandizè devan Bondye.
That no flesh shoulde reioyce in his presence.
30 Bondye mete nou ansanm ak Jezikri, li fè Kris la tounen bon konprann pou nou. Se Kris la ki fè Bondye fè nou gras. Se li menm k'ap fè nou viv apa pou Bondye, se li menm ki delivre nou.
But ye are of him in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption,
31 Konsa, jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Si yon moun vle fè lwanj tèt li, se pou l' fè lwanj tèt li nan sa Bondye fè pou li.
That, according as it is written, Hee that reioyceth, let him reioyce in the Lord.
