1 Ndị Kọrint 1
1 Pọl, onye a kpọrọ ịbụ onyeozi Jisọs Kraịst site nʼọchịchọ Chineke, na nwanna anyị nwoke Sostenis,
Paul a called apostle of Christ Jesus through [the] will of God and Sosthenes the brother
2 Ọ bụ unu nzukọ Chineke dị na Kọrint ka a na-edere akwụkwọ a, ndị e doro nsọ nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, na ndị a kpọrọ ibi ndụ dị nsọ, tinyere ndị ahụ niile na-akpọku aha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, onye bụ Onyenwe ha na Onyenwe anyị:
To the church of God which is being in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus called holy, together with all those calling on the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs (then *k*) and ours:
3 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ana m ekele Chineke ekele nʼihi onyinye amara niile o nyere unu site na Kraịst Jisọs.
I thank the God of mine always concerning you for the grace of God which having been given you in Christ Jesus
5 Nʼihi na e emeela ka unu baa ụba nʼụzọ niile, nʼime ya, ma nʼokwu unu ma na nghọta unu. O meekwala ka unu nwee nghọta zuru ezu banyere eziokwu niile. Ọ na-emekwa ka unu nwee ike na-ekwupụta okwu banyere oziọma ya.
for in everything you have been enriched in Him in all speech and in all knowledge,
6 Nʼihi na ịgba akaebe banyere Kraịst pụtara ihe, guzosiekwa ike na ndụ unu.
even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed in you,
7 Otu ihe si dị, ọ dịghị onyinye mmụọ fọdụrụ unu nke unu na-enweghị, ka unu nọrọ na-eche mgbe Chineke ga-egosipụta Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
so as for you not to be lacking in not one gift eagerly awaiting the revelation of the Lord of us Jesus Christ;
8 Ọ ga-eme ka unu dị ike ruo na mgbe ikpeazụ, meekwa ka unu bụrụ ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼụbọchị Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
who also will sustain you to [the] end blameless in the day of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
9 Chineke, onye kpọbatara unu ka unu na Ọkpara ya bụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, na-enwe mmekọrịta kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
Faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into fellowship with the Son of Him Jesus Christ the Lord of us.
10 Ụmụnna m, eji m aha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst na-arịọ unu, ka unu niile na-ekwekọrịta nʼihe ọbụla unu kwuru, ka nkewa ọbụla gharakwa ịbata nʼetiti unu. Ana m arịọkwa unu ka unu dị nʼotu, nʼechiche obi unu na nʼizu unu.
I exhort now you, brothers, through the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ that the same thing you may speak all and not there may be among you divisions, you may be however knit together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 Nʼihi na ụmụnna m, esi m nʼọnụ ndị si nʼezinaụlọ Kloyi bịara nʼebe a nụta na esemokwu dị nʼetiti unu.
It was shown for to me concerning you, brothers of mine, by those of Chloe that quarrels among you there are.
12 Anụrụ m na ịkpa iche iche abatala nʼetiti unu. Na ụfọdụ nʼime unu na-asị, “Abụ m onye na-eso Pọl”; ndị ọzọ na-asịkwa, “Abụ m onye na-eso Apọlọs”; ndị ọzọkwa na-asị, “Ana m eso Sefas”; ma ndị ọzọ na-asịkwa, “Ọ bụ Kraịst ka m na-eso.”
I mean now this, that each of you says; I myself indeed am of Paul, I myself however of Apollos, I myself however of Cephas, I myself however of Christ.
13 Kraịst, ọ dị abụọ? Ọ bụ Pọl ka a kpọgidere nʼobe nʼihi unu? Ọ dị onye e mere baptizim nʼaha Pọl?
Has been divided Christ? Surely not Paul was crucified for you? Or into the name of Paul were you baptized?
14 Ana m ekele Chineke ekele na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu m mere baptizim, ewezugakwa Krispọs na Gaiọs.
I thank God that no [one] of you I baptized only except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Ya mere, ọ dịghị onye nʼime unu ga-asị na e mere ya baptizim nʼaha m.
so that not anyone may say that into my name (you were baptized. *N(K)O*)
16 (Ahaa! Emekwara m Stefanas na ezinaụlọ ya baptizim. Ewezuga ndị a, amaghị m ma m ga-echetakwa onye ọzọ m mere baptizim nʼonwe m.)
I baptized now also the of Stephanas household; as to the rest not I know whether any other I baptized.
17 Nʼihi na Kraịst ezighị m ime ndị mmadụ baptizim. O zitere m iji okwu dị mfe kwusaa oziọma ya. Ọ bụghị iji okwu oke mmụta na amamihe nke mmadụ ka ike nke obe Kraịst ghara ịbụ ihe efu.
Not for sent me Christ to baptize but to evangelise; not in wisdom of discourse, that not may be emptied of power the cross of the Christ.
18 Nʼihi na okwu maka obe bụ ihe nzuzu nye ndị na-efu efu, ma nye anyị ndị a na-azọpụta, ọ bụrụ anyị ike nke Chineke.
The message for of the cross to those indeed perishing foolishness is, to those however being saved to us power of God it is.
19 E dere ya, “Aga m emebi amamihe ndị maara ihe. Aga m emekwa ka oke nghọta nke ndị maara ihe bụrụ ihe efu.”
It has been written for: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.
20 Olee ebe ndị oke amamihe nọ? Olee ebe ndị ode akwụkwọ nọ? Olee ebe ndị oke ịrụ ụka nke oge a nọ? Chineke o mebeghị ka amamihe nke ụwa a bụrụ ihe efu? (aiōn g165)
Where [is the] wise? Where [the] scribe? Where [the] debater of the age this? Surely has made foolish God the wisdom of the world (this? *k*) (aiōn g165)
21 Ma ebe ọ bụ site nʼamamihe nke Chineke, ụwa enweghị ike ịmata Chineke site na amamihe nke ya, ọ dị Chineke ezi mma isite nʼoziọma nke a na-ekwusa nke ndị mmadụ na-akpọ ihe nzuzu zọpụta ndị kweere.
Since for in the wisdom of God not knew the world through the wisdom God, was pleased God through the foolishness of the proclamation to save those believing;
22 Ndị Juu chọrọ ịhụ ihe ịrịbama, ndị Griik na-achọkwa amamihe.
Seeing that both Jews (signs *N(K)O*) ask for and Greeks wisdom seek,
23 Ma anyị onwe anyị na-ekwusa Kraịst, onye a kpọgburu nʼobe, onye bụ ihe mgbochi nʼebe ndị Juu nọ, ma na ntị ndị mba ọzọ, ọ dị ka okwu nzuzu.
we ourselves however preach Christ crucified, to [the] Jews indeed a stumbling block (to Gentiles *N(K)O*) however foolishness
24 Ma nye ndị niile a kpọrọ, ma ndị Juu ma ndị Griik, Kraịst bụ ike nke Chineke bụrụkwa amamihe nke Chineke.
to them however to those called, Jews both and to Greeks, Christ of God [the] power and of God [the] wisdom.
25 Nʼihi na nzuzu Chineke dị mma karịa amamihe niile nke mmadụ, adịghị ike Chineke dịkwa ukwuu karịa ike niile nke mmadụ.
For the foolishness of God wiser than men is and the weakness of God stronger than men (is. *k*)
26 Ụmụnna m, chetakwanụ ihe unu bụ mgbe a kpọrọ unu. Chetanụ na ọ bụ ole na ole nʼime unu bụ ndị maara ihe nʼusoro ogugo mmadụ, ndị dị ike, na ndị a maara aha ha nʼobodo.
Consider for the calling of you, brothers, that not many wise according to flesh [were], not many powerful, not many of noble birth,
27 Ma lee na ọ bụ ihe ahụ ụwa gụrụ dịka ihe nzuzu, ka Chineke họrọ iji mee ka ihere mee ndị amamihe. Ọ bụkwa ihe ha gụrụ dịka ihe na-adịghị ike ka Chineke họọrọ iji mee ka ihere mee ndị dị ike.
But the foolish things of the world has chosen God that He may shame the wise and the weak things of the world chose God that He may shame the strong,
28 Nʼihi na Chineke họọrọ ihe dịkarịrị ala nke ụwa, na ihe a jụrụ ajụ, jiri ha mee ka ihe ụwa chere na ọ baghị uru, bụrụ ihe bara uru.
and the low-born of the world and the [things] despised chose God, (and *ko*) the [things] not being, that the [things] being He may annul,
29 Ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara ịnya isi nʼebe Chineke nọ.
so that not may boast all flesh before (God. *N(K)O*)
30 Ma ọ bụ nʼihi ya ka unu ji nọrọ nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, onye ghọrọ isi amamihe nye anyị site na Chineke, nke bụ ezi omume anyị na nke ido anyị nsọ, na onye mgbapụta anyị.
Out of Him however you yourselves are in Christ Jesus, who has been made wisdom unto us from God, righteousness and also sanctification and redemption,
31 Ya mere, dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, “Onye ọbụla na-anya isi, ya nyaa nʼime Onyenwe anyị.”
in order that even as it has been written: The [one] boasting in [the] Lord he should boast.
