1 Qorontos 1
1 Phaawulos isa akka ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼuuf fedhii Waaqaatiin waamamee fi obboleessa keenya Soosteenes irraa,
Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2 Gara waldaa Waaqaa ishee Qorontos keessa jirtuutti, gara warra Kiristoos Yesuusiin qulqulleeffamanii fi warra lafa hundaa kanneen maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos isa Gooftaa isaaniitii fi Gooftaa keenyas taʼe sanaa waammatan hunda wajjin qulqulloota taʼuuf waamamaniitti:
To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
3 Ayyaannii fi nagaan Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ani yeroo hunda ayyaana Waaqaa isa Kiristoos Yesuusiin isinii kennameef waaʼee keessaniif Waaqa nan galateeffadha.
I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.
5 Isinis karaa hundaan jechuunis dubbii fi beekumsa hundaan isaan badhaataniirtu;
For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,
6 wanti nu waaʼee Kiristoos dhugaa baane sun isin gidduutti mirkaneeffameeraatii.
because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
7 Kanaafuu utuu mulʼachuu Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos eeggachaa jirtanuu kennaan hafuuraa tokko iyyuu isin jalaa hin hirʼatu.
Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Akka isin guyyaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti warra mudaa hin qabne taataniifis inni hamma dhumaatti jabeessee isin eega.
He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Waaqni gara tokkummaa Ilma isaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti isin waame sun amanamaa dha.
God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
10 Yaa obboloota, ani akka isin gidduu gargar baʼuun hin jiraannee fi akka qalbii fi yaada tokko qabaattanii hundi keessan walii galtaniif maqaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin isin kadhadha.
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.
11 Yaa obboloota ko, akka isin gidduu lolli jiru warri mana Kiloʼee jiraatan tokko tokko natti himaniiru.
My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
12 Wanti ani jedhus kana: Isin keessaa namni tokko, “Ani kan Phaawulos” jedha; inni kaan, “Ani kan Apholoos” jedha; kaanis, “Ani kan Keefaa ti” jedha; kaan immoo, “Ani kan Kiristoos” jedha.
What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
13 Kiristoos gargar qoodameeraa? Phaawulositu isinii fannifame ree? Yookaan maqaa Phaawulosiin cuuphamtanii?
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
14 Ani Kiriisphoosii fi Gaayoosin malee isin keessaa nama tokko illee waan hin cuuphiniif Waaqa nan galateeffadha.
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 Kanaaf namni akka isin maqaa kootiin cuuphamtan dubbachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
16 Eeyyee, ani warra mana Isxiifaanaas jiraatanis akkasuma cuupheera; sanaan alatti nama biraa tokko illee cuuphuu koo hin yaadadhu.
Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.
17 Kiristoos akka ani wangeela lallabuuf malee akka ani cuuphuuf na hin ergineetii; anis akka fannoon Kiristoos humna hin dhabneef dubbii ogummaa namaatiin hin lallabu.
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18 Dubbiin fannoo warra baduuf jiraniif gowwummaadhaatii; nu warra fayyinuuf garuu humna Waaqaa ti.
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 Kunis, “Ani ogummaa ogeeyyii nan balleessa; hubannaa hubattootaas nan fashaleessa” jedhamee barreeffameera.
For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20 Namni ogeessi eessa jira? Hayyuun eessa jira? Falaasamaan bara kanaa eessa jira? Waaqni ogummaa addunyaa kanaa gowwummaa hin goonee ree? (aiōn g165)
Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
21 Sababii ogummaa Waaqaatiin addunyaan karaa ogummaa isheetiin Waaqa waan hin beekiniif, Waaqni gowwummaa lallabaatiin warra amanan fayyisuu jaallate.
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22 Yihuudoonni mallattoo fedhu; Giriikonni immoo ogummaa barbaadu;
Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,
23 nu garuu Kiristoos isa fannifame sana lallabna; innis Yihuudootatti gufuu dha; Namoota Ormaatiif immoo gowwummaa dha;
but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
24 warra waamamaniif garuu Yihuudootaafis taʼu Giriikotaaf Kiristoos humna Waaqaatii fi ogummaa Waaqaa ti.
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Gowwummaan Waaqaa ogummaa namaa caalaa ogeessaatii; dadhabbiin Waaqaas jabina namaa irra jabaa dha.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
26 Yaa obboloota, isin yeroo waamamtanitti maal akka turtan yaadadhaa. Akka ilaalcha namaatti baayʼeen keessan ogeeyyii hin turre; baayʼeen keessanis beekamoo hin turre; baayʼeen keessan immoo sanyii warra gurguddaa irraa hin dhalanne.
Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.
27 Waaqni garuu ogeeyyii qaanessuuf jedhee waan addunyaa irratti gowwaa taʼe filate; Waaqni warra jajjabeeyyii qaanessuuf jedhee waan addunyaa irratti dadhabaa taʼe filate.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 Waaqni waan jiru waan hin jirre gochuuf, waan addunyaa kana irratti gad aanaa fi tuffatamaa taʼe, waan iddoo hin qabnes filate;
He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
29 kunis akka eenyu iyyuu isa duratti of hin jajneef.
so that no one may boast in His presence.
30 Isin sababii isaatiin kan Kiristoos Yesuus taatan; inni ogummaa keenya kan Waaqa biraa dhufe jechuunis qajeelummaa keenya, qulqullummaa fi furii keenyaa dha.
It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
31 Kunis akkuma, “Namni boonu Gooftaadhaan haa boonu” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
