< 1 Corinthians 1 >

1 Paulu, ẹni ti a pé láti jẹ́ aposteli Kristi Jesu nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti Sostene arákùnrin wa,
Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
2 Sí ìjọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ni Kọrinti, sí àwọn ti a sọ di mímọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu àti àwọn ti a pè láti jẹ́ mímọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ènìyàn ni ibikíbi ti ń pe orúkọ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi ẹni ti ń ṣe Olúwa tiwọn àti ti àwa náà:
to the Assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called holy ones, with all those calling on the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place—both theirs and ours:
3 Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ àti àlàáfíà fún yín láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wa àti Olúwa wa tí í ṣe Jesu Kristi.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
4 Nígbà gbogbo ni mo ń dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run fún oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ tó fi fún un yín nínú Kristi Jesu.
I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,
5 Nítorí nínú rẹ̀ ni a ti sọ yín di ọlọ́rọ̀ nínú ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ yín gbogbo àti nínú ìmọ̀ yín gbogbo.
that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all discourse and all knowledge,
6 Nítorí ẹ̀rí wa nínú Kristi ni a ti fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nínú yín.
according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,
7 Nítorí náà ẹ̀yin kò ṣe aláìní nínú èyíkéyìí ẹ̀bùn ẹ̀mí, bí ẹ̀yin ṣe ń retí ìfarahàn Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
so that you are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8 Òun yóò sì mú yín dúró títí dé òpin, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè jẹ́ aláìlábùkù ní ọjọ́ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
who also will confirm you to the end—unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 Ọlọ́run, nípasẹ̀ ẹni ti a pè yín sínú ìdàpọ̀ pẹ̀lú Ọmọ rẹ̀ Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, jẹ́ Olóòtítọ́.
faithful [is] God, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Mo bẹ̀ yín ẹ̀yin ara, ní orúkọ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi, pé kí gbogbo yín fohùn ṣọ̀kan kí ó máa ṣe sí ìyapa láàrín yín, àti pé kí a lè ṣe yín pé ní inú àti ìmọ̀ kan náà.
And I call on you, brothers, through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing you may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and you may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,
11 Ẹ̀yin ará mi, àwọn kan láti ilé Kloe sọ di mí mọ̀ fún mi pé ìjà ń bẹ́ láàrín yín.
for it was signified to me concerning you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;
12 Ohun tí mo ń sọ ní pé, olúkúlùkù yín ń wí pé, “Èmí tẹ̀lé Paulu”; “Èmi tẹ̀lé Apollo”; òmíràn wí pé, “Èmi tẹ̀lé Kefa, Peteru”; àti ẹlòmíràn wí pé, “Èmi tẹ̀lé Kristi.”
and I say this, that each one of you says, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”
13 Ǹjẹ́ a ha pín Kristi bí? Ṣé a kan Paulu mọ́ àgbélébùú fún un yín bí? Ǹjẹ́ a tẹ̀ yín bọ omi ní orúkọ Paulu bí?
Has the Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
14 Inú mi dún púpọ̀ pé èmi kò tẹ ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín bọ omi yàtọ̀ sí Krisipu àti Gaiusi.
I give thanks to God that I immersed no one of you, except Crispus and Gaius—
15 Nítorí náà kò sí ẹni tí ó lè sọ pé òun ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi ní orúkọ èmi fúnra ara mi.
that no one may say that to my own name I immersed;
16 (Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, mo tún tẹ ìdílé Stefana bọ omi; lẹ́yìn èyí, èmí kò rántí pé mo tẹ ẹnikẹ́ni bọ omi mọ́ níbikíbi).
and I also immersed Stephanas’ household—further, I have not known if I immersed any other.
17 Nítorí Kristi kò rán mi láti máa ṣe ìtẹ̀bọmi, ṣùgbọ́n ó rán mi láti máa wàásù ìyìnrere: kì í ṣe nípa ọgbọ́n ènìyàn, kí a máa ṣe sọ àgbélébùú Kristi dí aláìlágbára.
For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to proclaim good news, not in wisdom of discourse, that the Cross of the Christ may not be made of no effect;
18 Nítorí pé òmùgọ̀ ni ọ̀rọ̀ àgbélébùú jẹ́ sí àwọn tí ń ṣègbé, ṣùgbọ́n fún àwa tí a ń gbàlà ó jẹ́ agbára Ọlọ́run.
for the word of the Cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God,
19 Nítorí a tí kọ ọ́ pé: “Èmi yóò pa ọgbọ́n àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n run, òye àwọn olóye ni Èmi yóò sọ di asán.”
for it has been written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nothing”;
20 Àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n náà ha dá? Àwọn akọ̀wé náà ha dà? Àwọn onímọ̀ ìjìnlẹ̀ ayé yìí ha dà? Ọlọ́run kò ha ti sọ ọgbọ́n ayé yìí di aṣiwèrè? (aiōn g165)
where [is] the wise? Where the scribe? Where a disputer of this age? Did God not make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
21 Nítorí pé, nínú ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run, ayé kò le mọ̀ òun nípa ọgbọ́n àti ìṣeféfé wọn. Ó sì gba gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́ là nípa ìwàásù tí àwọn aráyé pè ní òmùgọ̀ àti ọ̀rọ̀ ọ yẹ̀yẹ́.
For seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
22 Nítorí pé àwọn Júù ń béèrè àmì, àwọn Helleni sí ń ṣàfẹ́rí ọgbọ́n,
Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
23 ṣùgbọ́n àwa ń wàásù Kristi ti a kàn mọ́ àgbélébùú, òkúta ìkọ̀sẹ̀ àwọn Júù àti òmùgọ̀ fún àwọn kèfèrí.
also we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,
24 Ṣùgbọ́n sí àwọn tí Ọlọ́run tí pè, àti àwọn Júù àti àwọn Giriki, Kristi ni agbára Ọlọ́run, àti ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run.
and to those called—both Jews and Greeks—Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,
25 Nítorí pé òmùgọ̀ Ọlọ́run jù ọgbọ́n ènìyàn lọ; àti aláìlera Ọlọ́run ni agbára jù ìlera ènìyàn lọ.
because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
26 Ará, ẹ kíyèsi ohun tí ẹ jẹ́ nígbà tí a pè yín. Kì í ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ yín jẹ ọlọ́gbọ́n nípa àgbékalẹ̀ ti ènìyàn, tàbí ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín jẹ́ ènìyàn pàtàkì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ nínú yín jẹ́ ọlọ́lá nípa ibi tí a gbé bí i.
for see your calling, brothers, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
27 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run tí yàn àwọn òmùgọ̀ ayé láti fi dààmú àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n; Ọlọ́run sì ti yàn àwọn ohun aláìlera ayé láti fi dààmú àwọn ohun tí ó ni agbára.
but God chose the foolish things of the world that He may put the wise to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world that He may put the strong to shame;
28 Àti àwọn ohun tí ayé tí kò ní ìyìn, àti àwọn ohun tí a kẹ́gàn, ni Ọlọ́run sì ti yàn, àní àwọn ohun tí kò sí, láti sọ àwọn ohun tí ó wà di asán.
and God chose the base things of the world, and the things despised, and the things that are not, that He may make useless the things that are—
29 Nítorí kí ó má ba à sí ẹnìkan tí yóò ṣògo níwájú rẹ̀.
that no flesh may glory before Him;
30 Nítorí rẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin ṣe wà nínú Kristi Jesu ẹni ti ó jásí ọgbọ́n fún wa láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run—èyí ń ni, òdodo, ìwà mímọ́ àti ìràpadà wa.
but out of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
31 Nítorí náà, bí a ti kọ ọ́ pé, “Ẹni ti ó bá ń ṣògo kí ó máa ṣògo nínú Olúwa.”
that, according as it has been written: “He who is glorying—let him glory in the LORD.”
