1 Lokwalo lo lo tswang kwa go Paulo, yo o tlhophilweng ke Modimo go nna morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete, le mokaulengwe Sosethenese.
Paul by vocacion an Apostle of Iesus Christ thorow the will of God and brother Sostenes.
2 A kwalela: Bakeresete ba ba kwa Korinta, ba ba biditsweng ke Modimo go nna batho ba one ba ba itshepisitsweng ke Keresete Jesu. Le go: botlhe Bakeresete gongwe le gongwe, ba ba bitsang leina la ga Jesu Keresete, Morena wa rona le wa bone.
Vnto the congregacion of God which is at Corinthum. To them that are sanctified in Christ Iesu sainctes by callynge with all that call on the name of oure lorde Iesus Christ in every place both of theirs and of oures
3 A Modimo Rraetsho le Morena Jesu Keresete a lo segofatse, a lo neye kagiso e kgolo ya pelo le mowa.
Grace be with you and peace fro God oure father and from the lorde Iesus Christ.
4 Ga ke ka ke ka khutlisa go leboga Modimo kaga dineo tse dintle tse o di lo neileng, gore jaanong lo bo lo le ba ga Keresete.
I thanke my God all wayes on youre behalfe for ye grace of God which is geuen you by Iesus Christ
5 O humisitse botshelo jwa lona jotlhe. O lo neile nonofo ya go bua kaga gagwe le go lo naya go tlhaloganya boammaaruri.
that in all thinges ve are made riche by him in all lerninge and in all knowledge
6 Se ke se lo boleletseng gore Keresete o ka se lo direla se diragetse!
even as the testimony of Iesus Christ was confermed in you)
7 Jaanong lo na le letlhogonolo le tshegofatso; mpho nngwe le nngwe ya semowa le nonofo go dira go rata ga one, dilo tse ke tsa lona mo lobakeng lono lwa go letela go bowa ga Morena wa rona Jesu.
so that ye are behynde in no gyft and wayte for the apperynge of oure lorde Iesus Christ
8 O tlaa lo tlhomamisa go ya bokhutlong gore lo tlhokisiwe boleo le molato ka letsatsi le o tlaa bowang ka lone.
which shall streght you vnto ye ende that ye maye be blamelesse in ye daye of oure lorde Iesus Christ.
9 Modimo ruri o tlaa lo direla se, gonne o dira ka metlha yotlhe se o se buang, ebile ke one o o lo bileditseng mo botsalanong jo bontle jo le Morwa one, e leng ene Keresete Morena wa rona.
ffor god is faythfull by whom ye are called vnto ye fellishyppe of his sonne Iesus Christe oure lorde
10 Mme bakaulengwe ba ba tlotlegang, ke a lo kopa mo leineng la Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete go khutlisa dikganetsano mo gareng ga lona. A go nne le kutlwano e e siameng gore go se ka ga nna le dikgaogano mo phuthegong. Ke a lo kopa gore lo nne mogopolo mongwe fela, lo kopane mo kgopolong le mo boikaelelong.
I beseche you brethre in ye name of oure lorde Iesus Christ that ye all speake one thynge and that there be no dissencion amoge you: but be ye knyt together in one mynde and in one meaynge.
11 Gonne bangwe ba ba nnang kwa tlung ya ga Keloe ba mpoleletse ka dikgane-tsano le dikgogakgogano tsa lona, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang.
It is shewed vnto me (my brethren) of you by them that are of the housse of Cloe that ther is stryfe amonge you. And this is it that I meane:
12 Bangwe ba lona ba re, “Ke molatedi wa ga Paulo,” ba bangwe ba re ke balatedi ba ga, Apolose kgotsa Petere, ba bangwe mo bojosing jwa bone ba re ke balatedi ba boammaaruri ba ga Keresete.
how that comelie amonge you one sayeth: I holde of Paul: another I holde of Apollo: ye thyrde I holde of Cephas: ye four ye I holde of Christ.
13 Mme jalo, e tswa e le ruri lo kgaogantse Keresete. Mme a nna Paulo, ke swetse dibe tsa lona? A go na le mongwe wa lona yo o kolobeditsweng mo leineng la me?
Ys Christ devided? was Paul crucified for you? ether were ye baptised in ye name of Paul?
14 Ke leboga thata ka nako e ka gore ga ke a kolobetsa ope wa lona fa e se Kerisepo le Gaio fela.
I thanke God that I christened none of you but Crispus and Gayus
15 Gonne jaanong ga go na ope yo o ka akanyang gore ke ne ke batla go simolola sengwe se sesha; ke simolola “phuthego ya ga Paulo.”
lest eny shulde saye that I had baptised in myne awne name.
16 Ee, ke kolobeditse ba ntlo ya ga Setefanase. Ga ke gakologelwe gore a ke kile ka kolobetsa mongwe o sele.
I baptised also the housse of Stephana. Forthermore knowe I not whether I baptised eny man or no.
17 Gonne Keresete ga a nthomela go tla go kolobetsa, fa e se go rera Mafoko a a Molemo; mme le thero ya me e utlwala e le bokoa, gonne ga ke tlatse thero ya me ka mafoko a a boteng le tumo ya megopolo e e kwa godimo, ke tshaba go tima nonofo e kgolo e e mo molaetseng o o motlhofo wa mokgoro wa ga Jesu Keresete.
For Christ sent me not to baptyse but to preache ye gospell not with wysdome of wordes lest the crosse of Christ shuld have bene made of none effecte.
18 Ke itse sentle gore go utlwala go le boeleele thata mo go ba ba latlhegang, fa ba utlwa gore Jesu o swetse go ba boloka. Mme rona ba re bolokilweng re lemoga molaetsa o e le nonofo ya Modimo.
For ye preachinge of the crosse is to them yt perisshe folishnes: but vnto vs which are saved it is ye power of God.
19 Gonne Modimo wa re, “Ke tlaa senya maano otlhe a batho a poloko, ga go re sepe gore a a ka bo a lebega a le botlhale go le kae, le go tlhokomologa megopolo e e botoka ya batho, le e leng batlhalefi tota.”
For it is written: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse and will cast awaye the vnderstondinge of the prudet.
20 Jaanong go ka tweng ka batho ba ba botlhale, barutegi ba, bakanoki ba ba botlhale ba dilo tse di kgolo tsa lefatshe le? Modimo o ba dirile gore botlhe ba lebege e le dieleele, wa ba wa supa botlhale jwa bone bo sena mosola. (aiōn g165)
Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the searcher of this worlde? Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde folisshnes? (aiōn g165)
21 Gonne Modimo mo botlhaleng jwa one o bone gore lefatshe ga le kitla le bona Modimo ka botlhale jwa motho; mme wa tsena wa boloka botlhe ba ba dumetseng molaetsa wa one o lefatshe le o bitsang boeleele le bomatla.
For when the worlde thorow wysdome knew not God in ye wysdome of God: it pleased God thorow folisshnes of preachinge to save them yt beleve.
22 Go bonala go le boeleele mo Bajuteng ka gore ba batla sesupo se se tswang legodimong e le tshupo ya gore se se rerwang ke boammaaruri; mme ke boeleele mo go Badichaba ka gore ba dumela fela se se dumalanang le botlhale jwa bone le go re se lebega se le sentle mo go bone.
For ye Iewes requyre a signe and the Grekes seke after wysdome.
23 Jalo fa re rera kaga Keresete jaaka a swetse go ba boloka, Bajuta ba a kgopisega mme Badichaba bone ba re ke diphirimisi fela.
But we preache Christ crucified vnto the Iewes an occasion of fallinge and vnto the Grekes folisshnes:
24 Mme Modimo o butse matlho a ba ba batlang poloko, Bajuta mmogo le Badichaba go bona gore Keresete ke nonofo e kgolo ya Modimo go ba boloka; Keresete ka bo ene ke pinagare ya leano la Modimo mo polokong ya bone.
but vnto the which are called both of Iewes and Grekes we preache Christ ye power of God and the wysdome of God.
25 Leano le la Modimo le go tweng ke “Boeleele” le botlhale thata go gaisa leano la batlhalefi, mme Modimo mo bokoeng jwa one, jwa gore Keresete a swe mo mokgorong o nonofile go gaisa batho botlhe.
For the folishnes of God is wyser then me: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men.
26 Lemogang mo go lona, bakaulengwe ba ba tlotlegang, gore ba se kae fela ba lona ba ba latelang Keresete ba na le maina a magolo kgotsa nonofo kgotsa dikhumo.
Brethren loke on youre callinge how that not many wyse men after the flesshe not many myghty not many of hye degre are called:
27 Mo boemong jwa moo, Modimo o tlhophile ka bomo fela go dirisa ditlhaloganyo tse batho ba lefatshe ba di bonang di le boeleele, ebile di sena mosola, e le go tlhabisa ditlhong batho ba lefatshe le ba ba bonwang ba tlhalefile thata, ebile ba le bagolo.
but God hath chosen the folysshe thinges of the worlde to confounde the wyse. And God hath chosyn the weake thinges of the worlde to confounde thinges which are mighty.
28 O tlhophile leano le le nyaditsweng ke lefatshe, le le kailweng e se sepe, mme a le dirisa go latofatsa batho ba lefatshe le ba tlotlang,
And vile thinges of the worlde and thinges which are despysed hath God chosen yee and thinges of no reputacion for to brynge to nought thinges of reputacion
29 gore gongwe le gongwe ope a se ka a ikgantsha fa pele ga Modimo.
that no flesshe shulde reioyce in his presence.
30 Gonne go tswa fela kwa Modimong gore lo nne le botshelo ka Jesu Keresete. O re bontshitse leano la Modimo la poloka; ke ene yo o dirileng gore re amogelesege mo Modimong; o re itshekisitse a bo a re itshepisa a bo a intsha thekololo ya poloko ya rona.
And vnto him partayne ye in Christ Iesu which of God is made vnto vs wysdome and also rightewesnes and saunctifyinge and redempcion.
31 Jaaka mo dikwalong go twe, “Fa mongwe a ikgantsha a a ikgantshe fela kaga se Morena o se dirileng.”
That accordinge as it is written: he which reioyseth shulde reioyce in the Lorde.
