1 Ukorintiyawa 1

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

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

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 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:

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 always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

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

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and 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 testimony of Christ was 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 you come behind in no gift, waiting for 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 until the end, blameless 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 faithful, through whom you were 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.

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.

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

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.

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 says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”

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

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

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

I thank God that I baptized none of you except 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 should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

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

(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)

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 baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

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 is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

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. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

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 debater of this age? Hasn’t 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 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.

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

For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

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

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,

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 who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;

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

because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of 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 your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many 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 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.

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.

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,

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

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.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

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

that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
