1 Ukorintiyawa 1

1 Meng Bulus, uyiculun Kristi Yisa nso unan kadura bara uyinnu Kutellẹ, a Sostanisu gwana bit,

Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the purpose of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 udu kiti na nan tortu Kutellẹ na idi in Korintus, alenge na Kristi Yisa nati nani iso lan, iwa yiwa nani iso anit alau, vat nan na lenge na idin yicu lissan Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi in ko kame kiti, Cikilari mine nini unbit.

To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

3 Na ubolu me nin lissosin lisheu unuzu kitiin Kutellẹ ucif bit a Cikilari Yisa Kristi.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Ndin godu Kutelle ning ko kome kubi bara anughe, nan nyan bolu Kutellẹ na Kristi Yisa nani minu.

I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

5 Ana tti minu anan se nan nya ko lome libau, nan nya nliru nin yiru vat.

So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;

6 Ana ti minu ita imon nacara, nafo na ubellee nimon liburu libo litin Kristi, na nuzu kanang nan nya mine.

Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:

7 Bara nani na idiira ufilllu nruhuba, naffo na ina yita nin tok ncaa nnuzu kanang in Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi.

So that having every grace you are living in the hope of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8 Ame ni minu akara tutung udi duri imaline, bara inan so sa alapi lirin Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi.

Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Kutellẹ di nin yinnu, ame ulenge na ana yicila minu nan nya lissosin ligo nin saunne, Yisa Kristi Cikilari bite.

God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Nene ndi munu kucukusu, nuana nilime nan nishono, nan nya lissan Cikilari bite Yisa Kristi, na vat mine na yinin, na i wa se uwucu nati nati nan nya mine ba. Ndi kucukusu imunu ati umalizinu kugir kun lo ligowe nin kibinai kirum a udalili urim.

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

11 Nani anan gan kuluwi na da tyi vet natuf nbeleng nworu uwutuzunu din piun nan nya mine.

Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

12 Nene uliru niighe ule: Ko gha mine din su, “Mengg un Bulus ari,” “Meng un Apolos” “Meng un Kefas,” sa, “Mengg un Kristi.”

That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.

13 Kristẹ nkoso kidowa? iwa kotun Bulus ku kuca bara anughe? Iwa shintin munu nmyen nan nya lissan Bulussa?

Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

14 Ndi nin liburi libo kiti Kutellẹ na nna shintin umon mine nmyen ba, se kiribun nin Gayus.

I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;

15 Una so nani bara na umong mine man woru miyari na shintin ghe nmyen nan nya lissa ning ba.

So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.

16 Ina kuru nshintino anan gan Istifanus ku. Nbanda nani, nan yiru sa nnakuru nshinto among tutung ba.

And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.

17 Bara ana Kristi na tuyi nshitu anitari nmyen ba nani nsu uwazi nliru ntucuari na nin nagbulan njinjin nnit ba, bara kuca nkootunu in Kristi wa so imon ihe.

For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

18 Bara kadura kuca nkotunuee tilalanghari kiti na lenge na i din nan nya nkul. Nani kitii na lenge na Kutellẹ din kacisso mine, likara Kutellẹ ari.

For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

19 Bara ina nyertin, “Meng ma malu kiti nin dadiu na yinjini” mma canu uyinnu na nan yiru.

As it says in the holy Writings, I will put an end to the wisdom of the wise, and will put on one side the designs of those who have knowledge.

20 Unit ujinjinghe din weri? Unan ni nyerte din we? Unan piziru in yinnu nko kuje din we? Na Kutellẹ na kpilya njinjin in yeh misoo tilalang ba? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Bara na uyih vat nin jinjing nnin na una yinnin Kutellẹ ba, una poah Kutellẹ liburi nan nya tilalan nbellu nliru Kutelle kiti na lenge na iyinna.

For because, by the purpose of God, the world, with all its wisdom, had not the knowledge of God, it was God's pleasure, by so foolish a thing as preaching, to give salvation to those who had faith in him.

22 A Yahudawa wa piziru imon al'ajibi a Hilinawa pizira njinjing.

Seeing that the Jews make request for signs, and the Greeks are looking for knowledge:

23 Nani arik din uwazi nkotunu in Kristi, litala ntizuru na Yahudawa a tilalang kiti na Hilinawa.

But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;

24 Kiti na lenge na Kutellẹ na yicila, a Yahudawa nin na Hilinawa, ti din su uwazi in Kristi nafo Likara nin kujinjin Kutellẹ.

But to those of God's selection, Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God.

25 Bara tilalang Kutellẹ katin likara njinjing nanit, a usali likara Kutellẹ katina akara nanit.

Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

26 Yenen imusun in yicilue na Kutellẹ na yicila munu mun, nuana nilime nin nishono. Na gbardan mine wa di jinjing ba nan nya yenjun nanit. Na gbardang mine wadi nin gongong mbun nanit ba.

For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:

27 Nani Kutellẹ wa fere imon ilalang in yih ani unit ujinjing ncin. Kutellẹ waa fere imon nsali nakara in yih ani imon nakara in yih ncin mun.

But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

28 Kutellẹ wa fere imon igugur na ina filing in yih umunu imon ile na tiyira inin nafo imon ile na arik in yira imon icinari.

And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:

29 Ana su nani bara ummong wa se imon for figiri mbun me.

So that no flesh might have glory before God.

30 Bara imon ile na Kutellẹ na su, nene i di nan nyan Kristi Yisa, Ulenge na ana so nari njinjing kiti Kutellẹ katwa kacine bite, nlau bite nin utucu bite.

But God has given you a place in Christ Jesus, through whom God has given us wisdom and righteousness and salvation, and made us holy:

31 Nafo, na i nyerte nabelin, “Na ulenge na ana fo figiri na a fo nan nyan Cikilari.”

So that, as it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has a desire for glory, let his glory be in the Lord.
