1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
yAvantaH pavitrA lokAH sveShAm asmAka ncha vasatisthAneShvasmAkaM prabho ryIshoH khrIShTasya nAmnA prArthayante taiH sahAhUtAnAM khrIShTena yIshunA pavitrIkR^itAnAM lokAnAM ya IshvarIyadharmmasamAjaH karinthanagare vidyate
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:
taM pratIshvarasyechChayAhUto yIshukhrIShTasya preritaH paulaH sosthininAmA bhrAtA cha patraM likhati|
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmAkaM pitreshvareNa prabhunA yIshukhrIShTena cha prasAdaH shAntishcha yuShmabhyaM dIyatAM|
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Ishvaro yIshukhrIShTena yuShmAn prati prasAdaM prakAshitavAn, tasmAdahaM yuShmannimittaM sarvvadA madIyeshvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
khrIShTasambandhIyaM sAkShyaM yuShmAkaM madhye yena prakAreNa sapramANam abhavat
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
tena yUyaM khrIShTAt sarvvavidhavaktR^itAj nAnAdIni sarvvadhanAni labdhavantaH|
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
tato. asmatprabho ryIshukhrIShTasya punarAgamanaM pratIkShamANAnAM yuShmAkaM kasyApi varasyAbhAvo na bhavati|
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
aparam asmAkaM prabho ryIshukhrIShTasya divase yUyaM yannirddoShA bhaveta tadarthaM saeva yAvadantaM yuShmAn susthirAn kariShyati|
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
ya IshvaraH svaputrasyAsmatprabho ryIshukhrIShTasyAMshinaH karttuM yuShmAn AhUtavAn sa vishvasanIyaH|
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.
he bhrAtaraH, asmAkaM prabhuyIshukhrIShTasya nAmnA yuShmAn vinaye. ahaM sarvvai ryuShmAbhirekarUpANi vAkyAni kathyantAM yuShmanmadhye bhinnasa NghAtA na bhavantu manovichArayoraikyena yuShmAkaM siddhatvaM bhavatu|
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.
he mama bhrAtaro yuShmanmadhye vivAdA jAtA iti vArttAmahaM kloyyAH parijanai rj nApitaH|
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
mamAbhipretamidaM yuShmAkaM kashchit kashchid vadati paulasya shiShyo. aham ApalloH shiShyo. ahaM kaiphAH shiShyo. ahaM khrIShTasya shiShyo. ahamiti cha|
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
khrIShTasya kiM vibhedaH kR^itaH? paulaH kiM yuShmatkR^ite krushe hataH? paulasya nAmnA vA yUyaM kiM majjitAH?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
kriShpagAyau vinA yuShmAkaM madhye. anyaH ko. api mayA na majjita iti hetoraham IshvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
etena mama nAmnA mAnavA mayA majjitA iti vaktuM kenApi na shakyate|
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
aparaM stiphAnasya parijanA mayA majjitAstadanyaH kashchid yanmayA majjitastadahaM na vedmi|
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.
khrIShTenAhaM majjanArthaM na preritaH kintu susaMvAdasya prachArArthameva; so. api vAkpaTutayA mayA na prachAritavyaH, yatastathA prachArite khrIShTasya krushe mR^ityuH phalahIno bhaviShyati|
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.
yato heto rye vinashyanti te tAM krushasya vArttAM pralApamiva manyante ki ncha paritrANaM labhamAneShvasmAsu sA IshvarIyashaktisvarUpA|
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
tasmAditthaM likhitamAste, j nAnavatAntu yat j nAnaM tanmayA nAshayiShyate| vilopayiShyate tadvad buddhi rbaddhimatAM mayA||
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)
j nAnI kutra? shAstrI vA kutra? ihalokasya vichAratatparo vA kutra? ihalokasya j nAnaM kimIshvareNa mohIkR^itaM nahi? (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.
Ishvarasya j nAnAd ihalokasya mAnavAH svaj nAneneshvarasya tattvabodhaM na prAptavantastasmAd IshvaraH prachArarUpiNA pralApena vishvAsinaH paritrAtuM rochitavAn|
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
yihUdIyalokA lakShaNAni didR^ikShanti bhinnadeshIyalokAstu vidyAM mR^igayante,
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
vaya ncha krushe hataM khrIShTaM prachArayAmaH| tasya prachAro yihUdIyai rvighna iva bhinnadeshIyaishcha pralApa iva manyate,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
kintu yihUdIyAnAM bhinnadeshIyAnA ncha madhye ye AhUtAsteShu sa khrIShTa IshvarIyashaktiriveshvarIyaj nAnamiva cha prakAshate|
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
yata Ishvare yaH pralApa Aropyate sa mAnavAtiriktaM j nAnameva yachcha daurbbalyam Ishvara Aropyate tat mAnavAtiriktaM balameva|
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
he bhrAtaraH, AhUtayuShmadgaNo yaShmAbhirAlokyatAM tanmadhye sAMsArikaj nAnena j nAnavantaH parAkramiNo vA kulInA vA bahavo na vidyante|
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.
yata Ishvaro j nAnavatastrapayituM mUrkhalokAn rochitavAn balAni cha trapayitum Ishvaro durbbalAn rochitavAn|
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,
tathA varttamAnalokAn saMsthitibhraShTAn karttum Ishvaro jagato. apakR^iShTAn heyAn avarttamAnAMshchAbhirochitavAn|
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
tata Ishvarasya sAkShAt kenApyAtmashlAghA na karttavyA|
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
yUya ncha tasmAt khrIShTe yIshau saMsthitiM prAptavantaH sa IshvarAd yuShmAkaM j nAnaM puNyaM pavitratvaM muktishcha jAtA|
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
