1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
PAULUS me paeker, en wiala wanporon en Iesus Kristus amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Sostenes,
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
Ong momodisou en Kot me mi Korint, me saraui kila Kristus Iesus, me paeker en saraui o karos me kin likwir ong mar en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus ni deu arail o deu at.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam atail o atail Kaun Iesus Kristus en mi re omail!
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
I kin danke ai Kot kaukaule pweki mak en Kot ong komail, me papanga dong komail sang ren Kristus Iesus,
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Pwe komail me pai kidar i ni meakaros, ni masan karos o lolekong karos;
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Duen kadede iran Kristus a tengiteng re omail;
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Pwe sota pai en mak eu, me komail saik pai kidar; ni omail auiaui kasansal en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Me pil pan kotin kasone komail di lao lel imwi, pwe en solar dip omail lao lel ni ran en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Kot me melel, me komail paekerdo, pwen sau pena ren sapwilim a Ol Iesus Kristus atail Kaun.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Ri ai kan, i panaui komail ni mar en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus, komail en wiaki eu ni omail kasoi kan, pwe komail de wuki pasang nan pung omail, a komail en mi ni lamalam ta pot o kapung ta ieu.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
Ri ai kan a kalok dong ia sang toun im en Kloe, me dene komail kin akamai pena nan pung omail.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
A iet me i men inda, amen komail kin inda: Ngai nain Paulus amen; a ngai nain Apolos amen; a ngai nain Kepas amen; a ngai nain Kristus amen.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Iaduen, Kristus me lop pasang? Iaduen, Paulus me lopu kin komail er? De komail paptaisekier ni mar en Paulus?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Ngai me danke Kot, me sota meamen re omail, me i paptaisela, Krispus eta o Kaius;
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Pwe amen de inda, me ngai wia paptaise ong ni pein ad ai.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
A toun im en Stepanas i pil paptaisela; a solar me i asa, me i paptaisela.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
Pwe kaidin en wia paptais, me Kristus poron kin ia la, a pwen padaki rongamau, kaidin ni tiak kadek lokaia, pwe lopun Kristus de mal la.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Pwe masan duen lopu me mal kot ren me lokidokilar akan, a manaman en Kot ong ir, me pan dorela.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Pwe a intingidier: I pan tiakedi lolekong en me lolekong kan, o karotongala marain en me marain akan.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Ia me lolekong o? O ia saunkawewe o? Ia me lolekong o en pali pa? Dadue, Kot sota wia lamponki me erpit en pali pa? (aiōn g165)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
Aramas akan sota asa Kot pweki udan ar lolekong. Kot ap kupureda, en kamaur kida, me poson akan padak mongai.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Pwe Sus akan kin poeki kilel akan, a men Krik kin roporop lolekong.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
A kit kin padaki Kristus me lopuedar, men kamakar ong Sus akan o ong men liki kan kasoi mal.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
A ong me paeker akan, men Sus o pil men Krik, se kaweweda Kristus manaman en Kot o erpit en Kot.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Pwe soerpit en Kot me sikida sang en aramas akan ar lolekong, o luet en Kot me kelail sang en aramas akan ar kelail.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
Ri ai kan, komail kilang duen omail paeker. Pwe kaidin me toto ren me lolekong en pali uduk kan. Pil kaidin me toto ren me poe kan, pil kaidin toto ren me masamas akan, me pilipildar.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
A Kot kotin piladar me so lolekong nin sappa, pwen kapouiala me lolekong kan; o Kot me kotin piladar me luet nin sappa kan, pwen kapouiala me kelail akan.
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
O me mal nin sappa, o me so konekon, i me Kot kotin piladar, o me sota meakot, pwen kawela me lapalap.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Pwe uduk der aksuaiki mon Kot.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
A komail tapi sang i ren Kristus Iesus, me wialar atail erpit sang ren Kot, o pung, o saraui, o maur patail.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Pwe duen a intingidier: Me men suaiki, i en suaiki Kaun o.
