1 Korint 1

1 Paul, aple kon apot Jésus Kri pa volonte Bondye a, ak Sosthène, frè nou,

Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,

2 A legliz Bondye ki nan vil Corinthe lan, a sila ki gen tan sanktifye nan Jésus Kri yo, sen pa apèl Bondye yo, avèk tout sila yo nan tout kote ki rele non Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri; Senyè pa yo e pa nou.

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

3 Gras de nou e lapè Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.

Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an tout tan, o sijè de nou menm, pou lagras Bondye te bannou nan Jésus Kri a.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 Ke nan tout bagay nou te anrichi nan Li, nan tout pawòl ak tout konesans,

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;

6 menm pandan temwayaj konsènan Kris la te konfime nan nou,

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 jis pou nou pa manke nan okenn don, e tann avèk enpasyans revelasyon a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri,

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 ki va osi konfime nou jiska lafen, san defo nan jou Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.

Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Bondye fidèl, selon Sila nou te rele nan amitye fratènèl avèk Fis Li a, Jésus Kri, Senyè nou an.

God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Koulye a, mwen egzòte nou, frè yo, pa non a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, pou nou tout vin antann nou, pou pa gen divizyon pami nou, men pou nou vin konplè nan menm panse ak nan menm jijman.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11 Paske mwen enfòme o sijè de nou menm, frè m yo, pa moun Chloé yo, ke gen konfli pami nou.

For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Alò, men kisa m ap di. Nou chak ap di: “Mwen se moun Paul”, “Mwen se moun Apollos”, “Mwen se moun Céphas”, e “Mwen se moun Kris la”.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Èske Kris la vin divize? Èske Paul te krisifye pou nou? Oswa èske nou te vin batize nan non Paul?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Mwen remèsye Bondye ke m pa t batize okenn nan nou sof ke Crispus ak Gaïus,

I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 pou okenn moun pa ka di ke nou te batize nan non mwen.

Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.

16 Alò, mwen te batize tout fanmi Stéphanas la; anplis de sa, mwen pa konnen si m te batize okenn lòt moun.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 Paske Kris pa t voye m pou batize, men pou preche bòn nouvèl la pa avèk bèl pawòl moun save yo, pou ke kwa Kris la pa ta vin anile.

For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 Paske pawòl lakwa a se foli pou sila k ap peri yo, men pou nou menm k ap sove yo, se pwisans a Bondye.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

19 Paske sa ekri: “Mwen va detwi sajès a saj yo, e entèlijans moun save yo, mwen va mete sou kote.”

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 Kote nonm saj la? Kote skrib la? Kote moun deba a laj sila a? Èske Bondye pa fè sajès a mond lan vin foli? (aiōn g165)

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Paske akoz nan sajès Bondye, lemond ak sajès pa li pa t vin konnen Bondye. Konsa, Bondye te byen kontan selon foli a mesaj ki te preche a, pou sove sila ki kwè yo.

For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

22 Paske anverite Jwif yo mande pou sign, e Grèk yo chache sajès;

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:

23 men nou preche Kris krisifye a, pou Jwif yo, yon wòch k ap fè moun bite, e pou pèp etranje yo, yon foli.

But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;

24 Men pou sila ki aple yo, ni Jwif, ni Grèk, Kris la se pwisans a Bondye, ak sajès Bondye.

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Paske foli Bondye a pi saj ke lòm, e feblès Bondye a pi fò ke lòm.

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

26 Paske konsidere apèl nou an, frè yo, ke pa t gen anpil moun ki te saj selon lachè, ni anpil moun ki te fò, ni anpil moun nòb.

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:

27 Men Bondye te chwazi foli a mond lan pou fè saj yo wont, e Bondye te chwazi bagay fèb a mond lan pou fè bagay ki pwisan yo vin piti.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 Konsa, Bondye chwazi bagay ki ba e meprize nan mond lan, bagay ki pa anyen, pou li kapab anile bagay ki egziste deja yo,

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

29 pou fè pèsòn pa kapab vante tèt yo devan Bondye.

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 Men selon sa ke Li menm te fè a, nou nan Jésus Kri. Se Li ki te devni pou nou sajès ki soti nan Bondye, ansanm ak jistis, sanktifikasyon, ak redanmsyon.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 Konsa, jan sa ekri a: “Kite sila ki vante tèt li a, vante tèt li nan SENYÈ a.”

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
