1 Pọl, onye a kpọrọ ịbụ onyeozi Jisọs Kraịst site nʼọchịchọ Chineke, na nwanna anyị nwoke Sostenis,
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, to the church of God which is in Corinth,
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:
even to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is both their Lord and ours;
3 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
grace and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ana m ekele Chineke ekele nʼihi onyinye amara niile o nyere unu site na Kraịst Jisọs.
I always give thanks unto my God, on your account, for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus; that ye are enriched by Him with every gift,
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.
in all utterance and knowledge;
6 Nʼihi na ịgba akaebe banyere Kraịst pụtara ihe, guzosiekwa ike na ndụ unu.
(even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among 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 that ye are deficient in no gift, expecting the revelation of our Lord 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 will also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 Chineke, onye kpọbatara unu ka unu na Ọkpara ya bụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, na-enwe mmekọrịta kwesiri ntụkwasị obi.
for God is faithful by whom ye were called into the communion of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.
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.
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye would all say alike, and that there may be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same judgement.
11 Nʼihi na ụmụnna m, esi m nʼọnụ ndị si nʼezinaụlọ Kloyi bịara nʼebe a nụta na esemokwu dị nʼetiti unu.
For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by some of Chloe's family, that there are contentions among you.
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, that each of you saith, as if of different parties, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
13 Kraịst, ọ dị abụọ? Ọ bụ Pọl ka a kpọgidere nʼobe nʼihi unu? Ọ dị onye e mere baptizim nʼaha Pọl?
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Ana m ekele Chineke ekele na ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼime unu m mere baptizim, ewezugakwa Krispọs na Gaiọs.
I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius:
15 Ya mere, ọ dịghị onye nʼime unu ga-asị na e mere ya baptizim nʼaha m.
so that no one can say I baptized in my own name.
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 also baptized indeed the family of Stephanas: but I know not whether I baptized any other.
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.
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in fine speech, least the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
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.
For the doctrine of the cross is to them, that perish, foolishness: but to us, who are saved, it is the power of God.
19 E dere ya, “Aga m emebi amamihe ndị maara ihe. Aga m emekwa ka oke nghọta nke ndị maara ihe bụrụ ihe efu.”
For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
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 is the scribe? where is the disputant of the age? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (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.
For, since in the wisdom of God the world by it's wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by what they called the folly of preaching to save those that believe.
22 Ndị Juu chọrọ ịhụ ihe ịrịbama, ndị Griik na-achọkwa amamihe.
And whereas the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks look for wisdom, we preach Christ crucified;
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.
to the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to them that are called,
24 Ma nye ndị niile a kpọrọ, ma ndị Juu ma ndị Griik, Kraịst bụ ike nke Chineke bụrụkwa amamihe nke Chineke.
both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Nʼihi na nzuzu Chineke dị mma karịa amamihe niile nke mmadụ, adịghị ike Chineke dịkwa ukwuu karịa ike niile nke mmadụ.
Because the foolishness of God, as they call it, is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
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.
For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:
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 God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;
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 things in the opinion of the world ignoble, and despicable, and accounted as nothing, hath God chosen, to abolish things that are in esteem among men;
29 Ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara ịnya isi nʼebe Chineke nọ.
that no flesh may glory in his presence.
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.
But ye are of Him in Christ Jesus, who from God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 Ya mere, dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, “Onye ọbụla na-anya isi, ya nyaa nʼime Onyenwe anyị.”
that, as it is written, He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.
