1 Corinthians 1

1 I, Paul, [am writing this letter]. Sosthenes, our fellow believer, is with [me as I write it]. [God] appointed me to be an apostle of Christ Jesus because that is what God desired.

۱ پولس به اراده خدا رسول خوانده شده عیسی مسیح و سوستانیس برادر،

2 [I am sending this letter] to all you who are God’s believers in Corinth [city]. You have been set apart [by God] {[God] has set you apart} for himself because (of your close relationship with/you belong to) Christ Jesus. God has appointed you to be his people and to live in a morally pure way, just like he has appointed all the people everywhere who belong to him to live in a morally pure way. You and they have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY]. He is their sovereign Lord as well as the sovereign Lord of all of us [(inc)] who have trusted in him.

۲ به کلیسای خدا که در قرنتس است، ازمقدسین در مسیح عیسی که برای تقدس خوانده شده‌اند، با همه کسانی که در هرجا نام خداوند ماعیسی مسیح را می‌خوانند که (خداوند) ما و(خداوند) ایشان است.

3 We [(exc)] desire that God, who is our [heavenly] Father, and Jesus Christ, who is our sovereign Lord, will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to experience [inner] peace.

۳ فیض و سلامتی ازجانب پدر ما خدا و عیسی مسیح خداوند بر شماباد.

4 I very often [HYP] thank God for you because he has acted toward you kindly, acting in ways that you do not deserve. He has done this because of your (having a close relationship with/being united to) Christ Jesus.

۴ خدای خود را پیوسته شکر می‌کنم درباره شما برای آن فیض خدا که در مسیح عیسی به شما عطا شده است،

5 That is, [God] has [HYP] helped you spiritually very much because of your (having a close relationship with/being united to) Christ. Specifically, God has very much [HYP] enabled you to speak messages [that his Spirit revealed to you], and he has very much enabled you to know many things [HYP] that his Spirit revealed to you.

۵ زیرا شما از هرچیز دروی دولتمند شده‌اید، در هر کلام و در هرمعرفت.

6 In that way, [he] confirmed to you that what we [(exc)] proclaimed about Christ is true.

۶ چنانکه شهادت مسیح در شما استوارگردید،

7 As a result, while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to return, within your group you truly have [LIT] every ability that [God’s] Spirit gives [to believers].

۷ بحدی که در هیچ بخشش ناقص نیستیدو منتظر مکاشفه خداوند ما عیسی مسیح می‌باشید.

8 God will also cause you to steadfastly [trust Christ to the very end of your lives] [EUP]. The result will be that God will not consider you guilty [of any sin] when our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth [MTY].

۸ که او نیز شما را تا آخر استوار خواهدفرمود تا در روز خداوند ما عیسی مسیح بی‌ملامت باشید.

9 You can depend on God to do that. He is the one who chose you to become intimately associated with his Son, Jesus Christ, who is our Lord.

۹ امین است خدایی که شما را به شراکت پسر خود عیسی مسیح خداوند ماخوانده است.

10 My fellow believers, by the authority of [MTY] our Lord Jesus Christ, I urgently appeal to all of you to agree with one another. What I mean is, stop dividing into groups. Instead, be united [MET] concerning what you understand [about spiritual matters], and be united in what you decide.

۱۰ لکن‌ای برادران از شما استدعا دارم به نام خداوند ما عیسی مسیح که همه یک سخن گوییدو شقاق در میان شما نباشد، بلکه در یک فکر ویک رای کامل شوید.

11 My fellow believers, [I urge this] because some members of Chloe’s household have told me that you are quarreling among yourselves.

۱۱ زیرا که‌ای برادران من، از اهل خانه خلوئی درباره شما خبر به من رسیدکه نزاعها در میان شما پیدا شده است.

12 That is, some of you say, “Paul is the one to whom we [are loyal],” and others say, “Peter is the one to whom we [are loyal],” and still others say, “Christ is the one to whom we [are loyal].”

۱۲ غرض اینکه هریکی از شما می‌گوید که من از پولس هستم، و من از اپلس، و من از کیفا، و من از مسیح.

13 [It is ridiculous that] [RHQ] [you are quarreling and] dividing up [into groups instead of being loyal to] Christ alone. Christ certainly has not divided himself into parts and distributed those parts out [to groups of people who oppose each other]! [MET, RHQ] I, Paul, certainly did not die on the cross for you! [RHQ] When you were baptized {When someone baptized you}, you certainly did not promise that you were submitting to me! [RHQ]

۱۳ آیا مسیح منقسم شد؟ یا پولس در راه شمامصلوب گردید؟ یا به نام پولس تعمید یافتید؟

14 I thank [God] that Crispus and Gaius were the only ones from among you whom I baptized.

۱۴ خدا را شکر می‌کنم که هیچ‌یکی از شما راتعمید ندادم جز کرسپس و قایوس،

15 As a result, no one [there in Corinth except those two] can say, “Paul baptized me so that I would become (his disciple/submissive to him).”

۱۵ که مباداکسی گوید که به نام خود تعمید دادم.

16 [Now I remember that] I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I do not remember baptizing anyone else [there].

۱۶ وخاندان استیفان را نیز تعمید دادم و دیگر یادندارم که کسی را تعمید داده باشم.

17 Christ sent me not [primarily] to baptize people but to preach the good message about him. When I do that, he does not want me to use words that human philosophers [consider] wise [IRO]. I do not want the message about [what] he [accomplished when he was nailed to] the cross [MTY] to lose its power.

۱۷ زیرا که مسیح مرا فرستاد، نه تا تعمید دهم بلکه تا بشارت رسانم، نه به حکمت کلام مبادا صلیب مسیح باطل شود.

18 Those who are perishing spiritually [because they do not believe that message consider] that the message [about what Christ accomplished when he was nailed to the] cross [MTY] [is] foolish. But to us who are being saved {whom [God] is saving} [spiritually because we believe that message], it [demonstrates that] God acts powerfully [in order to save us].

۱۸ زیرا ذکر صلیب برای هالکان حماقت است، لکن نزد ما که ناجیان هستیم قوت خداست.

19 [It is like what God said that] a prophet wrote long ago, [By the things that I will do], I will show that the ideas of those who [think] [IRO] they are wise are completely useless. I will ignore the ideas that they think are [IRO] so smart.

۱۹ زیرا مکتوب است: «حکمت حکما را باطل سازم و فهم فهیمان را نابود گردانم.»

20 So, do you know [what God thinks] about what [RHQ] people who [IRO] consider themselves to be wise and scholars and philosophers say? [He does not pay attention to what they say, because] [RHQ] he has shown clearly that what unbelievers [think is] [IRO] wise is [not wise at all], but is really foolish. (aiōn g165)

۲۰ کجا است حکیم؟ کجا کاتب؟ کجا مباحث این دنیا؟ مگرخدا حکمت جهان را جهالت نگردانیده است؟ (aiōn g165)

21 God, acting very wisely, made it impossible for unbelievers to know God by doing what they thought was [IRO] wise. Instead, he was happy to save those who trust [in Christ] as the result of their hearing [the message that] was proclaimed to them, a message that others consider to be foolish.

۲۱ زیرا که چون برحسب حکمت خدا، جهان ازحکمت خود به معرفت خدا نرسید، خدا بدین رضا داد که بوسیله جهالت موعظه، ایمانداران رانجات‌بخشد.

22 The Jews want [people to prove, by performing] miracles, [that their message is true]. The non-Jews want to hear only messages consisting of talk that they consider to be very wise.

۲۲ چونکه یهود آیتی می‌خواهند ویونانیان طالب حکمت هستند.

23 As for us, we proclaim [the message about what] Christ [accomplished for us when] he was nailed {[when they] nailed him} to the cross. That message offends Jews [because they do not think that the Messiah will die, and] non-Jews think it is [IRO] a foolish message.

۲۳ لکن ما به مسیح مصلوب وعظ می‌کنیم که یهود را لغزش و امت هارا جهالت است.

24 But to us whom God has chosen to belong to himself, both Jews and non-Jews, that message shows that God acted powerfully and wisely [by sending] Christ [to die] for us.

۲۴ لکن دعوت‌شدگان را خواه یهود و خواه یونانی مسیح قوت خدا و حکمت خدا است.

25 [Unbelievers may think] [IRO] [that] God was [acting] foolishly [by doing that], but [the truth is that] he was acting more wisely than unbelievers who [just think that] [IRO] they are wise. And unbelievers may think that God was [acting] weakly [by sending his son to die], but he was acting more powerfully than unbelievers who [just think] [IRO] [that they] act powerfully.

۲۵ زیرا که جهالت خدا از انسان حکیمتر است و ناتوانی خدا از مردم، تواناتر.

26 My fellow believers, remember what [kind of people you] were when God chose you. [Not many of you] whom he chose are people whom [unbelievers considered to be] wise. Very few of you were considered to be important. Very few of you came from families with a high social standing.

۲۶ زیرا‌ای برادران دعوت خود را ملاحظه نمایید که بسیاری بحسب جسم حکیم نیستند وبسیاری توانا نی و بسیاری شریف نی.

27 Instead, it was [usually] those whom [unbelievers considered to be] foolish whom God chose. He did that in order to shame/discredit those whom [unbelievers consider] [IRO] wise. It was [usually] those [whom unbelievers] considered [IRO] unimportant whom God chose, in order to shame/discredit those whom unbelievers consider important.

۲۷ بلکه خدا جهال جهان را برگزید تا حکما را رسوا سازدو خدا ناتوانان عالم را برگزید تا توانایان را رسواسازد،

28 It was usually those who are despised and considered {whom [unbelievers] despise and consider} worthless whom God chose, in order to make completely ineffective [what unbelievers consider to be important].

۲۸ و خسیسان دنیا و محقران را خدابرگزید، بلکه نیستیها را تا هستیها را باطل گرداند.

29 [He did that] in order that no one could boast to God about being wise or important.

۲۹ تا هیچ بشری در حضور او فخر نکند.

30 It is because of what God [has done] that you (have a close relationship with/belong to) Christ Jesus. God [put into effect] his wise [plan to save us] by what Christ did for us. As a result of what Christ did, God erases the record of our sins, sets us apart for himself, and frees us from our being guilty [for our sins].

۳۰ لکن از او شما هستید در عیسی مسیح که از جانب خدابرای شما حکمت شده است و عدالت قدوسیت و فدا.

31 So, it is the Lord whom we should boast about, [not about one spiritual leader being better than another]. We should do as ([a prophet/Jeremiah]) wrote [in the Scriptures that we should do]: Those who boast should boast [only] about what the Lord [has done].

۳۱ تا چنانکه مکتوب است هر‌که فخر کنددر خداوند فخر نماید.
