1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Mini polo, U Tienu n den yini yua kelima o yanbuama po ke min tua Jesu kilisiti tondo n taani leni ti kpiilo Sositena
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:
Ki diani li tili U Tienu n yini yaaba, yaaba n ye kolinta dogu nni po. O den gagidi ki Hanbi yi Jesu Kilisiti nni, ke yin ya tie o nigagidihanba. N fuondi yi leni yaaba n jaandi ki miadi ti Dieodo Jesu kilisiti i kaani kuli, wani yua tie bi Diedo leni ti ya Diedo.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ti baa U Tienu leni o Diedo Jesu kilisiti n pa yi li hanbili leni mi yanduama.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Yogunu kuli n tuondi U T ienu yipo kelima yin baa ya hanbili o kani Jesu Kilisiti nni.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Kelima o ya niinni, yi den baa li seli li bonla kuli nni, lan tie mi maama leni mi bandima kuli po.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Lan n tie yin den gbadi ya siedi kilisiti po den pu ki go se yi siiga ki pa.
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Yeni U Tienu paabu kuli siiga, ban bonyenbu ki poadi yipo yin gu ke U Tienu baa doagidi ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti yaa yogunu.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Waani U Tienu n baa teni yin ya se ki pa hali mi jodima yogunu ke bi kan fidi ki kuli yi liba kuli ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti cuama daali.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
U Tienu tie tin fidi ki dugi yua yaapo, wani yua n den yini yi ke yin ya pia yanyenma leni o Bijua Jesu kilisiti ti Diedo.
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.
N kpiiba, n mia yi ki tundi yi kelima ti Diedo Jesu kilisiti yeli po ke yi kuli n ya mani leni yiyaba, ke paadimaba kuli n da ya ye yi siiga, ke yin ya taa yenma yi yantiana leni yi yanjaga kuli nni.
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.
N kpiiba, Kilowe diegu yaaba dan waani nni ke mi niama ye yi siiga.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
Min bagi yaala tie yi siiga one Tua: “Mini wani hua Polo,” one “Mini wani hua apolosa,”one: “mini wani n hua sefa,” one mo: “Mini wani n hua kilisiti.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Naani kilisiti boagidi yoo? naani bi den kpaa polo yo li dapoanpoanli po ki baa faabi yi? bi den batisi yi polo yeni yoo?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
N tuondi U Tienu ke mii den batisi yi siiga obakuli, kali kilisipusa leni gayusa.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Lanwani oba kuli kan yedi ke bi den batisi o mini ya yeli nni.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
Moamoani, n den batisi Sitefana leni o deni yaaba moko, mii tiani n ya go den batisi nitoa.
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.
Kilsiti naa den soani nni ke min ya batisi bi niba ka. Ama o den soani ke min ya wangi o laabaalihamo, ke laa tie min ya wangi leni mi yanfodanmaama ka ke kilisiti dapoanpoanli n da tua fanma.
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.
Kelima li dapoanpoanli ya mawangima tie yanluoma yaaba n ba bodi po. Ama tinba yaaba n tindi po, li tie U Tienu paaciamu.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Li diani ki yedi: “N baa bolini bi yanfodanba yanfuoma, ki biani bi nunfandanba nunfanbu.”
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)
Lanwani o yanfodaano ye le? Li balimaama bangika go ye le? U naa yogunu nianiado go ye le? Naani U Tienu ki doagidi ke handuna yanfuoma kuli tie mi yanluoma ka? (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.
Kelima bi nisaaliba leni bi ya yanfoceli naa fidi ki bandi U Tienu leni wan doagidi o yanfuoma maama. Lanwani U Tienu den jagi ke o baa faabi yaaba n daani leni o laabaalihamo wangima yaama n tie nani mi yanluoma yeni.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Jufinba miadi mi banciama, Gilekinba mo lingi mi yafuoma.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
Ama tinba wani wangi Kilisiti, ban den kpaa yua li dapoanpoanli po. Laa maama tie tingbali bonla Jufinba po, li go tie yanluoma bi nilanba po.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Ama U Tienu n yini yaaba po, ban tie Jufinba bi ban tie Gilekinba, kilisiti tie U Tienu paaciamu leni U Tienu yanfuoma.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Kelima U Tienu yaluoma fani ki cie bi niba yanfuoma, U Tienu tadingu mo pa ki cie bi nisaaliba ya paalu.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
N kpiiba, kpaagi mani U Tienu n den yini yaaba n tie maama. Yi siiga yaaba n tie yanfuodanba naa yaba, yaaba n tie paatieba leni yaaba n tie bulicinba moko naa fuu.
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.
Ama U Tienu gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke li tie yanluobonla, ki baa wani bi yanfodanba i fe. O go gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke li tadinbonla, ki baa waani bi paatieba i fe.
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 go gandi bi nisaaliba n nua yaala ke tie bonfanla ki fali la, leni yaala n ki tie pu, ki baa bolini ban n nua yaala ke li tie bonmoanla.
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Otieni yeni ke nisaaloba kuli n da kpiagi o yuli wani U Tienu kani.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Ama yinba, U Tienu teni ke yi ye Jesu Kilisiti nni. O go teni ke Jesu tie tipo mi yanfuoma, leni mi tegima, leni mi gagihanma, leni mi daafaabima.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Lanwani, nani lan diani maama: “Yua n bua ki jigini o yuli, Wan jigini li o Diedo nni.”
