1 Ukorintiyawa 1

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

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —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.

Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord and ours:

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

Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.

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

I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —

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

That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;

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, hath been confirmed in you,

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

So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting 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 also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable 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.

Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of 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.

But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly joined together—in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

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

For it hath been signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,

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

Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:

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

The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?

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

I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,

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

Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:

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

Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.

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 be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.

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 discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.

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

For it is written—I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.

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 the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the 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, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, to save them that believe.

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

Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,

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

Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;

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, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.

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

Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier 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 be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:

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.

On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that are mighty,

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-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;

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

So that no flesh should boast 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, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

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

In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
