1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul by vocacion an Apostle of Iesus Christ thorow the will of God and brother Sostenes.
Krataa yi firi me, Paulo a ɛnam Onyankopɔn pɛ so enti, wɔafrɛ me sɛ menyɛ Kristo Yesu somafoɔ no ne onua Sostene nkyɛn,
2 Vnto the congregacion of God which is at Corinthum. To them that are sanctified in Christ Iesu sainctes by callynge with all that call on the name of oure lorde Iesus Christ in every place both of theirs and of oures
Yɛde rekɔma Onyankopɔn asafo a ɛwɔ Korinto no ne wɔn a wɔafrɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛyɛ Onyankopɔn akyidifoɔ kronkron no, ne wɔn a wɔwɔ baabiara a wɔbɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu din sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn ne yɛn Awurade no:
3 Grace be with you and peace fro God oure father and from the lorde Iesus Christ.
Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.
4 I thanke my God all wayes on youre behalfe for ye grace of God which is geuen you by Iesus Christ
Esiane adom a Onyankopɔn nam Kristo Yesu so dom mo no enti, daa meda Onyankopɔn ase ma mo.
5 that in all thinges ve are made riche by him in all lerninge and in all knowledge
Ɛnam ne so ama moayɛ ma biribiara mu, ɔkasa ne adwene mu.
6 even as the testimony of Iesus Christ was confermed in you)
Kristo ho asɛm atim wɔ mo mu,
7 so that ye are behynde in no gyft and wayte for the apperynge of oure lorde Iesus Christ
ɛno enti, ɛsiane sɛ moretwɛn ama wɔada yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo adi no enti, nhyira biara, monya bi.
8 which shall streght you vnto ye ende that ye maye be blamelesse in ye daye of oure lorde Iesus Christ.
Ɔbɛhyɛ mo den akɔsi awieeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, da a Awurade bɛba no, wɔrennya mo ho mfomsoɔ biara.
9 ffor god is faythfull by whom ye are called vnto ye fellishyppe of his sonne Iesus Christe oure lorde
Onyankopɔn a wafrɛ mo aba ne Ba Yesu Kristo ayɔnkofa mu no yɛ ɔnokwafoɔ.
10 I beseche you brethre in ye name of oure lorde Iesus Christ that ye all speake one thynge and that there be no dissencion amoge you: but be ye knyt together in one mynde and in one meaynge.
Anuanom, menam Awurade Yesu Kristo tumi so metu mo fo sɛ, asɛm biara a mobɛka no, monyɛ adwene na mo mu ampaapae. Monsɔ adwene ne botaeɛ baako mu na ama moayɛ baako.
11 It is shewed vnto me (my brethren) of you by them that are of the housse of Cloe that ther is stryfe amonge you. And this is it that I meane:
Anuanom, nnipa bi a wɔfiri Kloe efie apae mu aka akyerɛ me sɛ, akasakasa wɔ mo asafo yi mu.
12 how that comelie amonge you one sayeth: I holde of Paul: another I holde of Apollo: ye thyrde I holde of Cephas: ye four ye I holde of Christ.
Asɛm a mepɛ sɛ meka ne sɛ, wɔn mu biara ka asɛm a ɔpɛ. Yei ka sɛ, “Mewɔ Paulo afa” a, ɔfoforɔ sɛ, “Mewɔ Apolo afa.” Obi sɔre na ɔse, “Mewɔ Petro afa” a, ɔbaako nso se, “Mewɔ Kristo afa.”
13 Ys Christ devided? was Paul crucified for you? ether were ye baptised in ye name of Paul?
Wɔakyekyɛ Kristo mu akuakuo? Paulo na ɔwuu wɔ asɛnnua no so maa mo anaa? Wɔbɔɔ mo asu sɛ Paulo asuafoɔ anaa?
14 I thanke God that I christened none of you but Crispus and Gayus
Meda Onyankopɔn ase sɛ mammɔ mo mu biara asu ka Krispo ne Gaio ho.
15 lest eny shulde saye that I had baptised in myne awne name.
Obiara rentumi nka sɛ wɔbɔɔ mo asu sɛ mʼasuafoɔ.
16 I baptised also the housse of Stephana. Forthermore knowe I not whether I baptised eny man or no.
Mekae sɛ mebɔɔ Stefana ne ne fiefoɔ asu. Na menkae sɛ mebɔɔ obi foforɔ asu bio.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptyse but to preache ye gospell not with wysdome of wordes lest the crosse of Christ shuld have bene made of none effecte.
Kristo ansoma me sɛ memmɛbɔ asu, na mmom ɔsomaa me sɛ memmɛka asɛmpa a ɛmfiri nnipa nyansa mu, na obi annyina so amma Kristo wu a ɔwuu asɛnnua no so no mu tumi anyɛ kwa.
18 For ye preachinge of the crosse is to them yt perisshe folishnes: but vnto vs which are saved it is ye power of God.
Asɛnka a ɛkyerɛ Kristo asɛnnuambɔ no yɛ nsɛm a aba nni mu ma wɔn a wɔreyera. Nanso, yɛn a wɔregye yɛn nkwa no deɛ, ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn tumi.
19 For it is written: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse and will cast awaye the vnderstondinge of the prudet.
Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Mɛsɛe anyansafoɔ nyansa, na mɛma nimdefoɔ adenim ayɛ ɔkwa.”
20 Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the searcher of this worlde? Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde folisshnes? (aiōn g165)
Enti, onyansafoɔ wɔ he? Onimdefoɔ nso wɔ he? Ewiase yi mu akyinnyegyefoɔ wɔ he? Onyankopɔn akyerɛ sɛ ewiase yi mu nyansa yɛ ohunu. (aiōn g165)
21 For when the worlde thorow wysdome knew not God in ye wysdome of God: it pleased God thorow folisshnes of preachinge to save them yt beleve.
Enti, Onyankopɔn nam ɔno ara ne nyansa so yɛɛ sɛ, nnipa a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa wɔn ara wɔn nyansa so hunu no no renhunu no da. Na mmom, Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ wɔn a wɔgye asɛm a “aba nni mu” a yɛka no di no, ɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa.
22 For ye Iewes requyre a signe and the Grekes seke after wysdome.
Yudafoɔ hwehwɛ sɛ wɔhunu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ɛnna Helafoɔ nso hwehwɛ nyansa.
23 But we preache Christ crucified vnto the Iewes an occasion of fallinge and vnto the Grekes folisshnes:
Nanso, yɛn deɛ, yɛka Kristo wu a ɔwuu wɔ asɛnnua no so no ho asɛm. Saa asɛm no yɛ Yudafoɔ abufuo ɛnna ɛyɛ asɛm a aba nni mu ma amanamanmufoɔ;
24 but vnto the which are called both of Iewes and Grekes we preache Christ ye power of God and the wysdome of God.
nanso Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ a Onyankopɔn afrɛ wɔn no, Kristo yɛ Onyankopɔn tumi ne Onyankopɔn nyansa.
25 For the folishnes of God is wyser then me: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men.
Onyankopɔn asɛm a ɛyɛ sɛ aba nni mu no, aba wɔ mu sene nnipa nyansa, na saa ara nso na deɛ ɛyɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mmerɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn fam no yɛ den sene nnipa ahoɔden.
26 Brethren loke on youre callinge how that not many wyse men after the flesshe not many myghty not many of hye degre are called:
Afei, anuanom, monkae ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn frɛɛ mo no tebea a na mowɔ mu. Nnipa fam deɛ na mo mu bebree nyɛ anyansafoɔ, na mo mu bebree nni tumi, na mo mu bebree nyɛ adehyeɛ nso.
27 but God hath chosen the folysshe thinges of the worlde to confounde the wyse. And God hath chosyn the weake thinges of the worlde to confounde thinges which are mighty.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn faa ewiase yi mu nsɛm a aba nni mu no, nam so guu anyansafoɔ anim ase. Onyankopɔn faa nneɛma a ɛyɛ mmerɛ wɔ ewiase, nam so de guu ahoɔden anim ase.
28 And vile thinges of the worlde and thinges which are despysed hath God chosen yee and thinges of no reputacion for to brynge to nought thinges of reputacion
Ɔfaa deɛ ewiase mmu na wɔmfa nyɛ hwee no de sɛee deɛ ewiase susu sɛ ɛho hia no.
29 that no flesshe shulde reioyce in his presence.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ obi ntumi nhoahoa ne ho Onyankopɔn anim.
30 And vnto him partayne ye in Christ Iesu which of God is made vnto vs wysdome and also rightewesnes and saunctifyinge and redempcion.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn aka mo abata Kristo Yesu ho na Onyankopɔn nam Kristo so ama yɛn nyansa; ɛnam ne so ma yɛatene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim. Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn ahotefoɔ a wama yɛade yɛn ho.
31 That accordinge as it is written: he which reioyseth shulde reioyce in the Lorde.
Enti sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka no, “Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔhoahoa ne ho no, ɔnhoahoa ne ho wɔ deɛ Awurade ayɛ mu.”
