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.
Bulus, kirayayye daga Almsihu Yesu don zama manzo ta wurin nufin Allah, da dan'uwanmu Sastanisu,
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.
zuwa ga Ikilisiyar Allah da ke korinti, zuwa ga wadanda aka kebe su cikin Almasihu Yesu, wadanda aka kira domin su zama al'umma maitsarki. Muna kuma rubuta wa dukan masu kira bisa sunan Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu a ko'ina, wato Ubangijinsu da Ubangijinmu kuma.
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.
Bari alheri da salama su zo gare ku daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubangiji Yesu Almasihu.
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.
Kodayaushe ina gode wa Allahna domin ku, saboda alherin Allah da Almasihu Yesu ya yi maku.
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.
Ya ba ku arziki ta kowace hanya, cikin dukkan magana da dukkan ilimi.
6 In that way, [he] confirmed to you that what we [(exc)] proclaimed about Christ is true.
Kamar yadda shaida game da Almasihu ta tabbata gaskiya a tsakaninku.
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].
Saboda haka baku rasa wata baiwa ta ruhaniya ba yayinda kuke marmarin jiran bayyanuwar Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu.
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].
Zai kuma karfafa ku zuwa karshe, saboda ku zama marasa aibi a ranar Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu.
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.
Allah mai aminci ne shi wanda ya kira ku zuwa zumunta ta Dansa, Yesu Almasihu Ubangijimu.
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.
Ina rokon ku, yan'uwa, cikin sunan Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu, ku yarda da juna, kada tsattsaguwa ta kasance tsakanin ku. Ina rokon ku ku zama da zuciya daya da kuma nufi daya.
11 My fellow believers, [I urge this] because some members of Chloe’s household have told me that you are quarreling among yourselves.
Gama mutanen gidan Kulowi sun kawo kara cewa akwai tsattsaguwa a cikin ku.
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].”
Ina nufin: kowannen ku na cewa, “Ina bayan Bulus,” ko “Ina bayan Afollos,” ko “Ina bayan Kefas,” ko “Ina bayan Almasihu.”
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]
Almasihu a rarrabe yake? An gicciye Bulus domin ku? Ko an yi maku baftisma a cikin sunan Bulus?
14 I thank [God] that Crispus and Gaius were the only ones from among you whom I baptized.
Na godewa Allah domin ban yi wa wanin ku baftisma ba, sai dai Kirisfus da Gayus.
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).”
Na yi wannan saboda kada wani ya ce an yi maku baftisma a cikin sunana.
16 [Now I remember that] I also baptized the household of Stephanas, but I do not remember baptizing anyone else [there].
(Na kuma yi wa iyalin gidan Sitifanas baftisma. Banda haka, ban sani ko na yi wa wani baftisma ba.)
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.
Gama Almasihu bai aiko ni domin yin baftisma ba, amma domin yin wa'azin bishara. Bai aiko ni domin in yi wa'azi da kalmomin hikimar mutum ba, saboda kada giciyen Almasihu ya rasa ikonsa.
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].
Gama wa'azin gicciye wauta ne ga wadanda su ke mutuwa. Amma cikin wadanda Allah ke ceto, ikon Allah ne.
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.
Gama a rubuce yake, “Zan watsar da hikimar masu hikima. Zan dode fahimtar masu basira.”
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)
Ina mai hikima? Ina masani? Ina mai muhawara na duniyan nan? Allah bai juya hikimar duniya zuwa wauta ba? (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.
Tunda duniya cikin hikimarta bata san Allah ba, ya gamshi Allah ta wurin wautar wa'azi ya ceci masu bada gaskiya.
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.
Gama Yahudawa suna bidar al'ajibai, Helinawa kuma suna neman hikima.
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.
Amma muna wa'azin Almasihu gicciyayye, dutsen tuntube ga yahudawa da kuma wauta ga Helinawa.
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.
Amma ga wadanda Allah ya kira, Yahudawa da Helinawa, muna wa'azin Almasihu a matsayin iko da kuma hikimar Allah.
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.
Gama wautar Allah tafi mutane hikima, kuma rashin karfin Allah yafi mutane karfi.
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.
Dubi kiranku, yan'uwa. Ba dukkan ku ke da hikima a ma'aunin mutane ba. Ba dukkan ku ke da iko ba. Ba dukkan ku ke da haifuwa ta sarauta ba.
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.
Amma Allah ya zabi abubuwan da suke wofi na duniya domin ya kunyatar da masu hikima. Allah ya zabi abin da ke marar karfi a duniya domin ya kunyatar da abinda ke mai karfi.
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].
Allah ya zabi abinda ke marar daraja da kuma renanne a duniya. Ya ma zabi abubuwan da ake dauka ba komai ba, domin ya wofinta abubuwan da ake dauka masu daraja.
29 [He did that] in order that no one could boast to God about being wise or important.
Ya yi wannan ne domin kada wani ya sami dalilin fahariya a gabansa.
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].
Domin abinda Allah ya yi, yanzu kuna cikin Almasihu Yesu, wanda ya zamar mana hikima daga Allah. Ya zama adalcinmu, da tsarkinmu da fansarmu.
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].
A sakamakon haka, kamar yadda nassi ya ce, “Bari mai yin fahariya, ya yi fahariya cikin Ubangiji.”
