Sie Corinth 1

1 Ma sel Paul, su tuh pangonyuk ke lungse lun God in sie mwet sap lun Christ Jesus, ac oayapa sel Sosthenes, mwet lulalfongi wiasr —

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 Nu sin church lun God in acn Corinth, nu selos nukewa su pangonyuk tuh elos in mwet mutal lun God, su ma lal ke elos kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, weang mwet yen nukewa su alu nu sin Leum lasr Jesus Christ, su Leum lalos ac oayapa lasr:

to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place — both theirs and ours:

3 Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr ac Leum Jesus Christ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

4 Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk keiwos pacl nukewa, ke sripen kulang su El asot nu suwos ke Christ Jesus.

I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,

5 Tuh ke kowos kupasryang nu sin Christ kowos kasrupi in ma nukewa, ke kas in luti nukewa ac etauk nukewa.

that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,

6 Mwe fahkak ke Christ oakwuki ku in kowos

according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,

7 pwanang kowos tia oalla liki in eis kutena mwe insewowo sin God ke kowos tupan sikme lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ.

so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 God El fah akkeye kowos in tu ku nu ke safla, tuh in wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Leum lasr Jesus Christ.

who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;

9 God El oaru, ac fal in lulalfongiyuk El, su pangon kowos in sie sin sie yurin Wen natul, Leum lasr Jesus Christ.

faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Ke inen Leum lasr Jesus Christ, nga kwafe nu suwos nukewa, mwet lili ac lulu, tuh kowos in insese ke ma kowos fahk, tuh in fah wangin srisrielik inmasrlowos. Kowos nukewa in tukenina nunak sefanna ac pwapa sefanna.

And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

11 Mwet lili ac lulu, kutu mwet in sou lal Chloe elos tuku fahk nu sik lah oasr akukuin inmasrlowos.

for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;

12 Kalem sik lah kas lowos uh tia oana sie. Sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Paul”, sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Apollos”, ac sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lal Peter”, ac sie fahk mu, “Nga ma lun Christ.”

and I say this, that each one of you saith, 'I, indeed, am of Paul' — 'and I of Apollos,' — 'and I of Cephas,' — 'and I of Christ.'

13 Ya Christ el kitakatelik nu ke u pus? Ya Paul pa misa fin sakseng keiwos? Ya kowos baptaisla tuh kowos in mwet tuma lutlut lal Paul?

Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;

14 Nga kulo nu sin God lah nga tuh tia baptaisi kutena suwos, sayal Crispus ac Gaius.

I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —

15 Ke ma inge, wangin kutena suwos ku in fahk mu kowos baptaisla inek.

that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;

16 (O nga esamak lah nga baptaisella pac Stephanas ac sou lal; tusruktu nga tia esam lah oasr pac mwet saya nga baptaisela.)

and I did baptize also Stephanas' household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.

17 Christ el tia supweyu ngan baptaisi mwet. El supweyu in fahkak ke Pweng Wo, ac fahkak luk in tia orekmakin kas lalmwetmet lun mwet, tuh ku lun misa lun Christ fin sakseng in tia pilesreyuk.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but — to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

18 Tuh pweng ke misa lun Christ fin sakseng, ma lalfon nu selos su fahsr ke inkanek nu ke tuhlac; a nu sesr su fahsr ke inkanek in molela, pweng se inge ku lun God.

for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,

19 Tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Nga fah kunausla etauk lun mwet lalmwetmet Ac akfohsyauk nunak lun mwet yohk etu la.”

for it hath been written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'

20 Ke ouinge, mea sripen mwet lalmwetmet? Ku mwet sasla ke ma sap? Ku mwet pah in sramsram lun faclu? God El akkalemye tari lah lalmwetmet lun faclu ma lalfon. (aiōn g165)

where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Tuh ke lalmwetmet lun God, El oru tuh mwet uh in tia ku in etal ke lalmwetmet lalos sifacna. A El sulela in molela mwet su lulalfongi ke kas in luti lasr ma pangpang “kas lalfon.”

for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

22 Mwet Jew elos kena liye mwenmen, ac mwet sayen mwet Jew elos suk ke lalmwetmet.

Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

23 A funu kut, kut fahkak Christ su sripsripyak fin sakseng, sie pweng su mwe srungayuk nu sin mwet Jew, ac kas lalfon nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew.

also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

24 Tusruktu nu selos su pangonyuk tari sin God — mwet Jew oayapa mwet sayen mwet Jew — pweng se inge pa Christ, su fahkak ku lun God ac lalmwetmet lun God.

and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,

25 Tuh ma su oana mwe lalfon lun God, lalmwetmet liki lalmwetmet lun mwet uh; ac ma su oana munas lun God, ku liki ku lun mwet uh.

because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

26 Inge, mwet lili luk, kowos in esam ouiyowos meet liki pacl se God El pangon kowos. Ke liye lun mwet uh, pu na suwos lalmwetmet, ku oasr ku la, ku oaoa in mwet fulat.

for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;

27 God El tuh sulela ma faclu pangon mu lalfon in akmwekinye mwet lalmwetmet, ac El sulela ma su faclu pangon mu munas in akmwekinye mwet ku.

but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

28 El sulela ma faclu pilesru ac srunga ac pangon mu wangin sripa, in kunausla ma faclu nunku mu yohk sripa.

and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless —

29 Kalmen ma inge pa wangin mwet ku in konkin ye mutun God.

that no flesh may glory before Him;

30 Tusruktu God El oru tuh kowos in kupasryang nu sin Christ Jesus, ac tuh Christ elan ase lalmwetmet nu sesr. Ke Christ kut aksuwosyeyuk ye mutun God; kut ekla mwet mutal lun God ac aksukosokyeyuk kut.

and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

31 Ouinge, oana Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Kutena mwet su kena konkin, lela elan konkin ke ma Leum El oru.”

that, according as it hath been written, 'He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.'
