1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
Ma sel Paul, su tuh pangonyuk ke lungse lun God in sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus, ac oayapa sel Sosthenes, mwet lulalfongi wiasr —
2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours:
Nu sin church lun God in acn Corinth, nu selos nukewa su pangonyuk tuh elos in mwet mutal lun God, su ma lal ke elos kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, weang mwet yen nukewa su alu nu sin Leum lasr Jesus Christ, su Leum lalos ac oayapa lasr:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr ac Leum Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk keiwos pacl nukewa, ke sripen kulang su El asot nu suwos ke Christ Jesus.
5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
Tuh ke kowos kupasryang nu sin Christ kowos kasrupi in ma nukewa, ke kas in luti nukewa ac etauk nukewa.
6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you, )
Mwe fahkak ke Christ oakwuki ku in kowos
7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
pwanang kowos tia oalla liki in eis kutena mwe insewowo sin God ke kowos tupan sikme lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God El fah akkeye kowos in tu ku nu ke safla, tuh in wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
God El oaru, ac fal in lulalfongiyuk El, su pangon kowos in sie sin sie yurin Wen natul, Leum lasr Jesus Christ.
10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.
Ke inen Leum lasr Jesus Christ, nga kwafe nu suwos nukewa, mwet lili ac lulu, tuh kowos in insese ke ma kowos fahk, tuh in fah wangin srisrielik inmasrlowos. Kowos nukewa in tukenina nunak sefanna ac pwapa sefanna.
11 For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you.
Mwet lili ac lulu, kutu mwet in sou lal Chloe elos tuku fahk nu sik lah oasr akukuin inmasrlowos.
12 But I speak of this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
Kalem sik lah kas lowos uh tia oana sie. Sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Paul”, sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Apollos”, ac sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Peter”, ac sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lun Christ.”
13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
Ya Christ el kitakatelik nu ke u pus? Ya Paul pa misa fin sakseng keiwos? Ya kowos baptaisla tuh kowos in mwet tuma lutlut lal Paul?
14 I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
Nga kulo nu sin God lah nga tuh tia baptaisi kutena suwos, sayal Crispus ac Gaius.
15 that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
Ke ma inge, wangin kutena suwos ku in fahk mu kowos baptaisla inek.
16 Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
(O nga esamak lah nga baptaisella pac Stephanas ac sou lal; tusruktu nga tia esam lah oasr pac mwet saya nga baptaisela.)
17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.
Christ el tia supweyu ngan baptaisi mwet. El supweyu in fahkak ke Pweng Wo, ac fahkak luk in tia orekmakin kas lalmwetmet lun mwet, tuh ku lun misa lun Christ fin sakseng in tia pilesreyuk.
18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
Tuh pweng ke misa lun Christ fin sakseng, ma lalfon nu selos su fahsr ke inkanek nu ke tuhlac; a nu sesr su fahsr ke inkanek in molela, pweng se inge ku lun God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
Tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Nga fah kunausla etauk lun mwet lalmwetmet Ac akfohsyauk nunak lun mwet yohk etu la.”
20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Ke ouinge, mea sripen mwet lalmwetmet? Ku mwet sasla ke ma sap? Ku mwet pah in sramsram lun faclu? God El akkalemye tari lah lalmwetmet lun faclu ma lalfon. (aiōn g165)
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
Tuh ke lalmwetmet lun God, El oru tuh mwet uh in tia ku in etal ke lalmwetmet lalos sifacna. A El sulela in molela mwet su lulalfongi ke kas in luti lasr ma pangpang “kas lalfon.”
22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
Mwet Jew elos kena liye mwenmen, ac mwet sayen mwet Jew elos suk ke lalmwetmet.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
A funu kut, kut fahkak Christ su sripsripyak fin sakseng, sie pweng su mwe srungayuk nu sin mwet Jew, ac kas lalfon nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew.
24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
Tusruktu nu selos su pangonyuk tari sin God — mwet Jew oayapa mwet sayen mwet Jew — pweng se inge pa Christ, su fahkak ku lun God ac lalmwetmet lun God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Tuh ma su oana mwe lalfon lun God, lalmwetmet liki lalmwetmet lun mwet uh; ac ma su oana munas lun God, ku liki ku lun mwet uh.
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
Inge, mwet lili luk, kowos in esam ouiyowos meet liki pacl se God El pangon kowos. Ke liye lun mwet uh, pu na suwos lalmwetmet, ku oasr ku la, ku oaoa in mwet fulat.
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things;
God El tuh sulela ma faclu pangon mu lalfon in akmwekinye mwet lalmwetmet, ac El sulela ma su faclu pangon mu munas in akmwekinye mwet ku.
28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are;
El sulela ma faclu pilesru ac srunga ac pangon mu wangin sripa, in kunausla ma faclu nunku mu yohk sripa.
29 so that no flesh should boast before God.
Kalmen ma inge pa wangin mwet ku in konkin ye mutun God.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
Tusruktu God El oru tuh kowos in kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, ac tuh Christ elan ase lalmwetmet nu sesr. Ke Christ kut aksuwosyeyuk ye mutun God; kut ekla mwet mutal lun God ac aksukosokyeyuk kut.
31 that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
Ouinge, oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Kutena mwet su kena konkin, lela elan konkin ke ma Leum El oru.”
