1 Korint 1

1 Paul, aple kon apot Jésus Kri pa volonte Bondye a, ak Sosthène, frè nou,

Paul, called to be an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 A legliz Bondye ki nan vil Corinthe lan, a sila ki gen tan sanktifye nan Jésus Kri yo, sen pa apèl Bondye yo, avèk tout sila yo nan tout kote ki rele non Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri; Senyè pa yo e pa nou.

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

3 Gras de nou e lapè Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.

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

4 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an tout tan, o sijè de nou menm, pou lagras Bondye te bannou nan Jésus Kri a.

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

5 Ke nan tout bagay nou te anrichi nan Li, nan tout pawòl ak tout konesans,

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

6 menm pandan temwayaj konsènan Kris la te konfime nan nou,

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you—

7 jis pou nou pa manke nan okenn don, e tann avèk enpasyans revelasyon a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri,

so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

8 ki va osi konfime nou jiska lafen, san defo nan jou Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

9 Bondye fidèl, selon Sila nou te rele nan amitye fratènèl avèk Fis Li a, Jésus Kri, Senyè nou an.

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

10 Koulye a, mwen egzòte nou, frè yo, pa non a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, pou nou tout vin antann nou, pou pa gen divizyon pami nou, men pou nou vin konplè nan menm panse ak nan menm jijman.

Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions amongst you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgement.

11 Paske mwen enfòme o sijè de nou menm, frè m yo, pa moun Chloé yo, ke gen konfli pami nou.

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

12 Alò, men kisa m ap di. Nou chak ap di: “Mwen se moun Paul”, “Mwen se moun Apollos”, “Mwen se moun Céphas”, e “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 Èske Kris la vin divize? Èske Paul te krisifye pou nou? Oswa èske nou te vin batize nan non Paul?

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

14 Mwen remèsye Bondye ke m pa t batize okenn nan nou sof ke Crispus ak Gaïus,

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

15 pou okenn moun pa ka di ke nou te batize nan non mwen.

so that no one should say that I had immersed you into my own name.

16 Alò, mwen te batize tout fanmi Stéphanas la; anplis de sa, mwen pa konnen si m te batize okenn lòt moun.

(I also immersed the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I immersed any other.)

17 Paske Kris pa t voye m pou batize, men pou preche bòn nouvèl la pa avèk bèl pawòl moun save yo, pou ke kwa Kris la pa ta vin anile.

For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to proclaim the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Messiah wouldn’t be made void.

18 Paske pawòl lakwa a se foli pou sila k ap peri yo, men pou nou menm k ap sove yo, se pwisans a Bondye.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 Paske sa ekri: “Mwen va detwi sajès a saj yo, e entèlijans moun save yo, mwen va mete sou kote.”

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

20 Kote nonm saj la? Kote skrib la? Kote moun deba a laj sila a? Èske Bondye pa fè sajès a mond lan vin foli? (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 this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Paske akoz nan sajès Bondye, lemond ak sajès pa li pa t vin konnen Bondye. Konsa, Bondye te byen kontan selon foli a mesaj ki te preche a, pou sove sila ki kwè yo.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the proclaiming to save those who believe.

22 Paske anverite Jwif yo mande pou sign, e Grèk yo chache sajès;

For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 men nou preche Kris krisifye a, pou Jwif yo, yon wòch k ap fè moun bite, e pou pèp etranje yo, yon foli.

but we proclaim Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,

24 Men pou sila ki aple yo, ni Jwif, ni Grèk, Kris la se pwisans a Bondye, ak sajès Bondye.

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

25 Paske foli Bondye a pi saj ke lòm, e feblès Bondye a pi fò ke lòm.

because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Paske konsidere apèl nou an, frè yo, ke pa t gen anpil moun ki te saj selon lachè, ni anpil moun ki te fò, ni anpil moun nòb.

For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

27 Men Bondye te chwazi foli a mond lan pou fè saj yo wont, e Bondye te chwazi bagay fèb a mond lan pou fè bagay ki pwisan yo vin piti.

but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

28 Konsa, Bondye chwazi bagay ki ba e meprize nan mond lan, bagay ki pa anyen, pou li kapab anile bagay ki egziste deja yo,

God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

29 pou fè pèsòn pa kapab vante tèt yo devan Bondye.

that no flesh should boast before God.

30 Men selon sa ke Li menm te fè a, nou nan Jésus Kri. Se Li ki te devni pou nou sajès ki soti nan Bondye, ansanm ak jistis, sanktifikasyon, ak redanmsyon.

Because of him, you are in Messiah Yeshua, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

31 Konsa, jan sa ekri a: “Kite sila ki vante tèt li a, vante tèt li nan SENYÈ a.”

that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
