1 Koriniti 1

1 Na Paora, i pai nei te Atua kia karangatia hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Hotene,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

2 Ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ki te hunga kua oti te whakatapu i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua karangatia hei hunga tapu, ratou ko te hunga katoa i nga wahi katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, o to ratou Ariki, o to ta tou:

to the church of God in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be saints, together with all who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

3 Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 He whakawhetai tonu taku mahi ki toku Atua mo koutou, mo te aroha noa o te Atua kua homai nei ki a koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu;

I always give thanks to my God for you because of the grace of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.

5 Kua meinga hoki kia hua nga mea katoa ma koutou i roto i a ia, te whakapuaki korero, te matauranga;

For you have been enriched in him in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,

6 Pena hoki me te whakaaturanga i a te Karaiti kua u na i roto i a koutou:

just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed among you,

7 I kore ai koutou e hapa i tetahi mea homai; i a koutou e tatari na ki te whakakitenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti:

so that you are not lacking in any gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Mana hoki koutou e whakau a taea noatia te mutunga, kia kore ai koutou e ekengia e te kupu i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

He will strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 He pono te Atua, nana nei koutou i karanga kia uru tahi ki tana Tama, ko Ihu Karaiti, ki to tatou Ariki.

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Na, he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, kia kotahi ta koutou korero katoa, a kia kaua he wehewehenga i roto i a koutou; engari kia tuituia koutou i runga i te ngakau kotahi, i te whaka aro kotahi.

Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be knit together in the same mind and in the same purpose.

11 Kua oti hoki koutou te tohutohu mai, e oku teina, e te hunga o te whare o Koroi, tena nga tautohetohe kei roto i a koutou.

For it has been disclosed to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe's household, that there are quarrels among you.

12 Anei te tikanga o taku korero, kei te ki tena o koutou na, No Paora ahau; a, No Aporo ahau; a, Ko ahau no Kipa; Ko ahau no te Karaiti.

What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul,” while another says, “I follow Apollos,” or, “I follow Cephas,” or, “I follow Christ.”

13 Kua oti koia a te Karaiti te wahi? i ripekatia ranei a Paora mo koutou? i iriiria ranei koutou i runga i te ingoa o Paora?

Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, moku kihai i iriiri i tetahi o koutou, ko Kirihipu anake raua ko Kaiu;

I give thanks to God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Kei waiho e te tangata hei korero, naku koutou i iriiri i runga i toku ingoa.

so that no one may say that I baptized into my own name.

16 Naku ano i iriiri nga tangata o te whare o Tepana: i ko ake, kahore ahau i te mahara ki taku iriiringa i tetahi atu.

(I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not recall if I baptized anyone else.)

17 Kihai hoki ahau i tonoa e te Karaiti ki te iriiri, engari ki te kauwhau i te rongopai: ehara i te mea i runga i te mohio ki nga kupu, kei whakakahoretia te ripeka o te Karaiti.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, and not with cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be deprived of its power.

18 Ko te korero hoki o te ripeka ki te hunga e whakangaromia ana he mea wawau; ki a tatou ia, ki te hunga e whakaorangia ana, ko te kaha tera o te Atua.

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

19 Ka oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka ngaro i ahau te whakaaro nui o te hunga whakaaro, ka kore hoki i ahau te mahara o te hunga mahara.

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will nullify.”

20 Kei hea te tangata whakaaro? kei hea te karaipi? kei hea te tangata tohe o tenei ao? kahore ano koia i whakakuwaretia e te Atua te whakaaro nui o tenei ao? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made the wisdom of this world foolish? (aiōn g165)

21 I te mea hoki i runga i to te Atua whakaaro nui, kihai nga whakaaro nui o te ao i mohio ki te Atua, na ka pai te Atua kia meinga te kuware o te kupu kauwhau hei whakaora i te hunga e whakapono ana.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of our proclamation to save those who believe.

22 Ina hoki ko ta nga Hurai he tono tohu, ko ta nga Kariki he rapu whakaaro nui:

For Jews ask for a sign and Greeks seek wisdom,

23 Ko ta matou ia he kauwhau i a te Karaiti i ripekatia he tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, he mea kuware ki nga Kariki;

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,

24 Ki te hunga ia e karangatia ana, ahakoa Hurai, ahakoa Kariki, ko te Karaiti, ko te kaha o te Atua, ko te whakaaro mohio o te Atua.

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

25 No te mea he kuware no te Atua nui atu te mohio i nga tangata; he ngoikore no te Atua kaha atu i nga tangata.

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

26 Titiro oti ki to koutou karangatanga, e oku teina, kihai i tokomaha te hunga whakaaro o te wahi ki te kikokiko, kihai i tokomaha te hunga nunui, kihai i tokomaha nga rangatira, e karangatia ana:

Consider your calling, brothers, that not many of you were wise according to the flesh, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

27 Engari i whiriwhiria e te Atua ko nga mea kuware o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai te hunga whakaaro; i whiriwhiria ano e te Atua ko nga mea ngoikore o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai nga mea kaha.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

28 Ko nga mea ware o te ao, ko nga mea e whakahaweatia ana, ko ena i whiriwhiria e te Atua, ae, ko nga mea kahore noa iho, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga tino mea ake;

God chose what is lowly and despised in the world, things that are regarded as nothing, to nullify the things that are regarded as something,

29 Kia kore ai tetahi kikokiko e whakamanamana i te aroaro o te Atua.

so that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Nana hoki koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua meinga nei ia hei take whakaaro nui mo tatou, he mea na te Atua, hei tika, hei whakatapu, hei hoko:

It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God, and in whom we have righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

31 Kia rite ai ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ki te whakamanamana tetahi, me whakamanamana ia ki te Ariki.

Therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
