1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother,
PAULUS me paeker, en wiala wanporon en Iesus Kristus amen pan kupur en Kot o ri atail Sostenes,
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:
Ong momodisou en Kot me mi Korint, me saraui kila Kristus Iesus, me paeker en saraui o karos me kin likwir ong mar en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus ni deu arail o deu at.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam atail o atail Kaun Iesus Kristus en mi re omail!
4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus;
I kin danke ai Kot kaukaule pweki mak en Kot ong komail, me papanga dong komail sang ren Kristus Iesus,
5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge,
Pwe komail me pai kidar i ni meakaros, ni masan karos o lolekong karos;
6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you, )
Duen kadede iran Kristus a tengiteng re omail;
7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Pwe sota pai en mak eu, me komail saik pai kidar; ni omail auiaui kasansal en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus.
8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Me pil pan kotin kasone komail di lao lel imwi, pwe en solar dip omail lao lel ni ran en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus.
9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Kot me melel, me komail paekerdo, pwen sau pena ren sapwilim a Ol Iesus Kristus atail Kaun.
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.
Ri ai kan, i panaui komail ni mar en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus, komail en wiaki eu ni omail kasoi kan, pwe komail de wuki pasang nan pung omail, a komail en mi ni lamalam ta pot o kapung ta ieu.
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.
Ri ai kan a kalok dong ia sang toun im en Kloe, me dene komail kin akamai pena nan pung omail.
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.
A iet me i men inda, amen komail kin inda: Ngai nain Paulus amen; a ngai nain Apolos amen; a ngai nain Kepas amen; a ngai nain Kristus amen.
13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul?
Iaduen, Kristus me lop pasang? Iaduen, Paulus me lopu kin komail er? De komail paptaisekier ni mar en Paulus?
14 I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius,
Ngai me danke Kot, me sota meamen re omail, me i paptaisela, Krispus eta o Kaius;
15 that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name.
Pwe amen de inda, me ngai wia paptaise ong ni pein ad ai.
16 Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other.
A toun im en Stepanas i pil paptaisela; a solar me i asa, me i paptaisela.
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.
Pwe kaidin en wia paptais, me Kristus poron kin ia la, a pwen padaki rongamau, kaidin ni tiak kadek lokaia, pwe lopun Kristus de mal la.
18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power.
Pwe masan duen lopu me mal kot ren me lokidokilar akan, a manaman en Kot ong ir, me pan dorela.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.
Pwe a intingidier: I pan tiakedi lolekong en me lolekong kan, o karotongala marain en me marain akan.
20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Ia me lolekong o? O ia saunkawewe o? Ia me lolekong o en pali pa? Dadue, Kot sota wia lamponki me erpit en pali pa? (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.
Aramas akan sota asa Kot pweki udan ar lolekong. Kot ap kupureda, en kamaur kida, me poson akan padak mongai.
22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;
Pwe Sus akan kin poeki kilel akan, a men Krik kin roporop lolekong.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;
A kit kin padaki Kristus me lopuedar, men kamakar ong Sus akan o ong men liki kan kasoi mal.
24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom.
A ong me paeker akan, men Sus o pil men Krik, se kaweweda Kristus manaman en Kot o erpit en Kot.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Pwe soerpit en Kot me sikida sang en aramas akan ar lolekong, o luet en Kot me kelail sang en aramas akan ar kelail.
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.
Ri ai kan, komail kilang duen omail paeker. Pwe kaidin me toto ren me lolekong en pali uduk kan. Pil kaidin me toto ren me poe kan, pil kaidin toto ren me masamas akan, me pilipildar.
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;
A Kot kotin piladar me so lolekong nin sappa, pwen kapouiala me lolekong kan; o Kot me kotin piladar me luet nin sappa kan, pwen kapouiala me kelail akan.
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;
O me mal nin sappa, o me so konekon, i me Kot kotin piladar, o me sota meakot, pwen kawela me lapalap.
29 so that no flesh should boast before God.
Pwe uduk der aksuaiki mon Kot.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;
A komail tapi sang i ren Kristus Iesus, me wialar atail erpit sang ren Kot, o pung, o saraui, o maur patail.
31 that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.
Pwe duen a intingidier: Me men suaiki, i en suaiki Kaun o.
