1 Corinthians 1

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

Pɔl, ban yini yua ke wan tua Jesu Kiristu tondo, ke li ŋua U Tienu buama, yeni n naataano Sɔsteni,

2 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:

Ti diani li tili ne, ki ba teni U Tienu nitaanli yaali n ye Korenta, bani yaaba n baa mi yedŋanma Jesu Kiristu yeli po, ke bi gagdi ba ke ban tua niŋanba, yeni yaaba n li taagi ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu yeli hali ban ye naani kuli, bi Diedo yeni ti yua.

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

Ti Báa U Tienu yeni ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń puni yi mi yedŋanma yeni mi yanduanma!

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

N jaandi n Tienu yognu kuli, i po, kaa cedi yeni wan tieni i po ya ŋanbli Jesu Kiristu yeli po.

5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—

Kelima wani ya po, i baa ya ŋalmani n yabi, ki nua mi maama yeni mi banma,

6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—

Ban tieni Kiristu po ya kasiedi fiigi bonŋanla i siiga, ke i kubi yeni i mɔni ke li paa.

7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Mɔla, i ji ki luo yenpaabu bá kuli, yinba yaaba n guu ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu dɔgdima.

8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

O ba pugni yi u paalu, ke bi kan fidi ki jalgi yi hali ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń ba cua ya daali.

9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

U Tienu tie tin dugi yua ya po, wani yua n yini yi ke yin ŋɔdi o bijua yeni li papienli.

10 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.

N naataani, n miadi yi, ki paandi yi pala, ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu po, ke yin ya taa ñɔbu, ki da pia paadma i siiga, ama yin ya taa yantiayenli yeni maalyenma.

11 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.

Kelima, n naataani, n gbadi ke Kolowe niba maadi ke a kɔnkɔna ye i siiga.

12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”

N bua yedi ke i siiga yuakuli maadi maama ne: “Mini n tie Pɔl yua yo! Ke mini, Apolosi yua! Ke mini Sefasi yua! Ke mini Kiristu yua!

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

Kiristu ji paadi paadi yo oo? Bi kpaa Pɔl i, i po, li dapɔnpɔnli po oo? Bii, bi batise yi Pɔl yeli po i?

14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

N jaandi U Tienu yeni min ki batise bá niyendo yi siiga, lan ñani kirisipusi yeni Gayiwusi yaa ka.

15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

lani yaa ka, bi bi ba yedi ke bi batise yi n ya yeli po i.

16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

N go batise Sitefanasi diegu nni yaaba; lan ñani lankani, n ji ki tama ke n batise nitiano.

17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

Kiristu ki sɔni nni ke min ya batise bi niba ka, ama ke min ya wangi o laabaalŋamo, Li naa go tie ke min ya wangi yeni mi yanfomaama ka, ke Kiristu daapɔnpɔnli ń da tua fanma.

18 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.

Kelima li daapɔnpɔnli maawangma tie yanluomaama i, yaaba n bodi po; ama tinba yaaba n baa mi faabma po, mi tie U Tienu paaciamu i.

19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

Li go diani ki yedi ne: “N ba buoni bi yanfodanba yanfuoma, ki biani bi nunfandanba nunfanbu.

20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age (aiōn g165)? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

O yanfodaano ye le? o gbanbando ye le? Ti jamaano ne ñɔniadaano ye le? U Tienu ki cedi ke ŋanduna yanfuoma kpandi gaadma aa? (aiōn g165)

21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

Kelima, nani ŋanduna yeni o yanfuocema ki bandi U Tienu yeni U Tienu yanfuoma, li tua U Tienu po yanbuama i, ke wan faabi yaaba n dugi o po yeni mi gaadmaama.

22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

Jufinba buali yaalidgu bona po, ke binilanba lingi mi yanfuoma.

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

Tinba ti wangi ban kpaa ya Kiristu li daapɔnpɔnli po i; li tie janjanma jufinba po, ki tie gaadma bi nilanba po.

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

Ama, ban gagdi ki yini yaaba ya po, ban tie jufinba bii nilanba aa, li tie bi po U Tienu paaciamu yeni U Tienu yanfuoma i.

25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Kelima U Tienu gaadma pia mi yanfuoma ki cie bi nisaalba, ke U Tienu tadingu pia u paalu ki cie bi nisaalba.

26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

N naataani, yin ya bani ke yinba yaaba ke bi gagdi ki yini i siiga, ti gbannandi yanfodanba ki yabi, u paaciamu danba ki yabi, bi ŋalmandanba mo ki yabi.

27 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.

Ama U Tienu taa ŋanduna yanluoma bona i, ki tulni bi yanfodanba, ki taa ŋanduna tadingu bona, ki tulni u paaciamu danba.

28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that do not exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

U Tienu lugdi ya bona n ki pia mayuli ŋanduna nni, yeni bi niba ń fali yaali, ke laa pia fuoma, ki fanbi ban nua yaali ke li pia mayuli.

29 that no flesh should boast before God.

O tieni lani, ke nisaalo ń da kpiagdi o yuli U Tienu kani.

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

Wani ya po i, ke i fo Jesu Kiristu nni, wani yua n tua ti po yanfuoma, teginma, gagdiŋanma yeni daafaabma,

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

Nani lan diani ki maadi maama: “Yua n kpiagdi o yuli, wan kpiagi o yuli O Diedo nni.
