1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,
I Paoly, kinanjy ho Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey ami’ty satrin’ arofon’ Añahare, naho i Sostena rahalahy.
2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.
Ho ami’ty Fivorin’ Añahare e Korinto añe, ho amo nampiavahe’ Iesoà Norizañeio, o kinanjy ho noro’eo, miharo amy ze hene mpikanjy ty tahina’ Iesoà Talèntika Norizañey ndra aia aia, i Talè’ iareo naho antikañey.
3 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hasoa ama’ areo naho fañanitsiñe boak’ aman’ Añahare Raen-tika naho Iesoà Talè Norizañey.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Andriañeko nainai’e t’i Andrianañahareko ty ama’ areo, ty hasoan’ Añahare natolotse anahareo am’ Iesoà Norizañeiy,
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
ie ama’e ro niaboeñe amy ze lafi’e iaby an-tsara heneke naho an-kihitse fonitse,
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
ie niventèñe ama’ areo ty fitaroñañe i Norizañey.
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Aa le tsy eo ty tsy eneñe ama’areo amo falalàñe iabio, hene rototse mitamà ty fiboaha’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey.
8 Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ie ty hampijadoñe anahareo sikal’ am-pigadoña’e añe, tsy hanan-kila amy andro’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañeiy.
9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Migahiñe t’i Andrianañahare nikanjy anahareo ho amy fifampilongoañe amy Ana’e, Talèntika Iesoà Norizañeiy.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
Ie amy zao, mañosike anahareo raho ry longo, amy tahina’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañeiy, ty hiharo saontsy, tsy hifampiriaria, f’ie ho fonireñe ho raike an-kilala naho raike an-tsafiry.
11 For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
O ry longo, fa natalili’ o mpiamy Kloaio amako t’ie amam-pifandierañe;
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
ty anoako zao, le te ao ty manao ty hoe: mpiamy Paoly raho, le ty raike: amy Apolosy raho, naho ty raike: amy Kefasy raho, vaho ty ila’e: zaho amy Norizañey.
13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Aa vaho mitsiriaria hao i Norizañey? Pinèke ho anahareo hao t’i Paoly? He nalipotse ami’ty añara’ i Paoly?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
Andriañeko t’i Andrianañahare te tsy ia ama’ areo ty nalipoko naho tsy i Krispo naho i Gaio avao,
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.
ke eo ty hanao ty hoe t’ie nilipotse ami’ty añarako.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
(Toe nalipoko ka o añ’anjomba’ i Stefanasio. Fa tsy apotako ze ila’e mete ho nampiliporeko.)
17 For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Toe tsy nañitrik’ ahy handipotse i Norizañey, fa ty hitaroñe i talili-soay, tsy an-dreha-kante kera hampikoaheñe i hatae’ ajale’ i Norizañeiy.
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.
Toe borosode amo mikoromakeo ty tsara’ i hatae’ ajaley, fe haozaran’ Añahare amantika rombaheñeo.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Fa hoe ty pinatetse: Ho rotsaheko ty hihi’ o mahihitseo, naho hakafitse ty hilala’ o mahilalao.
20 Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)
Aia ze o mahihitse zao? Aia ty mahay taratasy? Aia ty mpionim-piheotse ami’ty sa’ toy? Tsy nanoen’ Añahare hanèñe hao ty hilala’ ty tane toy? (aiōn g165)
21 For when in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Ie amy hihin’ Añaharey, kanao tsy nampahafohiñe an’ Andrianañahare ty hihi’ ty tane toy, le nisatrien’ Añahare ty handrombake ze mahafiantoke ami’ty hagegea’ i tsara taroñeñey.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek wisdom:
Toe mipay viloñe o Jiosio, naho mitsoe-kihitse o Grikao;
23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
fe mitaroñe i Norizañe pinèkey zahay: ie boloko fitsikapia’ o Jiosio, naho hadagolàñe amo Grikao;
24 But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
fe amo kinanjio, he te Jiosy ke Grika, le ie ty haozaran’ Añahare naho ty hihin’ Añahare.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Fa mahihitse te am’ondatio ty hagegean’ Añahare, naho maozatse te am’ondatio ty haifoifoan’ Añahare.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:
Haraharao i nikanjiañe anahareoy: tsy nimaro ty nahihitse amo nofotseo, tsy nimaro ty fanalolahy, tsy niampeampe ty ana-donake.
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Fe jinobon’ Añahare o gege an-tane atoio hanalatse o mahilalao, naho jinobon’ Añahare o maifoifo’ ty tane toio hañameñatse o jomakeo;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:
jinobon’ Añahare o tsy vara’ ty tane toio naho o mavoiñeo vaho o atao tsy vente’eo, hampikoaha’e o raha eoo,
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
soa te tsy eo ty nofotse hirengevoke añatrefan’ Añahare.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Ie ro maha am’ Iesoà Norizañey anahareo, Ie ty nanoan’ Añahare hihitse naho havantañañe naho fiavahañe vaho fijebañañe an-tika,
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
soa te, amy pinatetse ty hoe: Ze mirenge, Ee te i Talè ro firengea’e.
