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 emissary of Messiah Yeshua by 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.

to the congregation of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called to be kadoshim, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

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 always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua;

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

6 Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Kris la fin pran rasin nèt nan mitan nou.

even as the testimony of Messiah was 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 you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to be revealed;

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 will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

9 Bondye ki rele nou pou nou ka viv ansanm ak Pitit li, Jezikri, Seyè nou an, ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, 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.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, 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 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 has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, 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.

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

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 Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

14 Mwen di Bondye mèsi dèske mwen pa t' batize nou yonn, an wetan Krispis ak Gayis.

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

15 Konsa, pesonn pa ka di yo te batize nan non Pòl.

so that no one should say that you had been immersed into my own 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.)

(Now I also immersed the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I immersed 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 Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.

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 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 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 wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

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 debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (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 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 Yon bò, jwif yo ap mande mirak, yon lòt bò grèk yo ap chache bon konprann.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 Konsa, pa gen moun ki ka fè grandizè devan Bondye.

that no flesh might boast before God.

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.

And because of him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness 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.

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