1 Qorontos 1

1 Phaawulos isa akka ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼuuf fedhii Waaqaatiin waamamee fi obboleessa keenya Soosteenes irraa,

Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and 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 being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

3 Ayyaannii fi nagaan Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa isiniif haa taʼu.

Grace to you and peace 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 give thanks to my God always in your behalf, for the grace of God given unto you in Christ Jesus;

5 Isinis karaa hundaan jechuunis dubbii fi beekumsa hundaan isaan badhaataniirtu;

because in everything you are enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge;

6 wanti nu waaʼee Kiristoos dhugaa baane sun isin gidduutti mirkaneeffameeraatii.

as the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you;

7 Kanaafuu utuu mulʼachuu Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos eeggachaa jirtanuu kennaan hafuuraa tokko iyyuu isin jalaa hin hirʼatu.

so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting 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.

who will also establish you unblamable unto the end in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Waaqni gara tokkummaa Ilma isaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoositti isin waame sun amanamaa dha.

God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.

11 Yaa obboloota ko, akka isin gidduu lolli jiru warri mana Kiloʼee jiraatan tokko tokko natti himaniiru.

For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions 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.

And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Kiristoos gargar qoodameeraa? Phaawulositu isinii fannifame ree? Yookaan maqaa Phaawulosiin cuuphamtanii?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized in 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 baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;

15 Kanaaf namni akka isin maqaa kootiin cuuphamtan dubbachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.

in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name.

16 Eeyyee, ani warra mana Isxiifaanaas jiraatanis akkasuma cuupheera; sanaan alatti nama biraa tokko illee cuuphuu koo hin yaadadhu.

But I baptized also the family of Stephanas: besides, I know not if I baptized any other.

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 sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

18 Dubbiin fannoo warra baduuf jiraniif gowwummaadhaatii; nu warra fayyinuuf garuu humna Waaqaa ti.

For the word of the cross is foolishness indeed to those who are lost; but to those who are saved it is the power of God.

19 Kunis, “Ani ogummaa ogeeyyii nan balleessa; hubannaa hubattootaas nan fashaleessa” jedhamee barreeffameera.

For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nought the understanding of the intelligent.

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 investigator of this age? has not God rendered the wisdom of the world foolishness? (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 by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

22 Yihuudoonni mallattoo fedhu; Giriikonni immoo ogummaa barbaadu;

Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

23 nu garuu Kiristoos isa fannifame sana lallabna; innis Yihuudootatti gufuu dha; Namoota Ormaatiif immoo gowwummaa dha;

but we preach Christ having been crucified, to the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;

24 warra waamamaniif garuu Yihuudootaafis taʼu Giriikotaaf Kiristoos humna Waaqaatii fi ogummaa Waaqaa ti.

but to you 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.

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

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.

For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born:

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 has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

28 Waaqni waan jiru waan hin jirre gochuuf, waan addunyaa kana irratti gad aanaa fi tuffatamaa taʼe, waan iddoo hin qabnes filate;

and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,

29 kunis akka eenyu iyyuu isa duratti of hin jajneef.

in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.

30 Isin sababii isaatiin kan Kiristoos Yesuus taatan; inni ogummaa keenya kan Waaqa biraa dhufe jechuunis qajeelummaa keenya, qulqullummaa fi furii keenyaa dha.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God was made unto us wisdom, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

31 Kunis akkuma, “Namni boonu Gooftaadhaan haa boonu” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.

in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
