1 Koriniti 1

1 Na Paora, i pai nei te Atua kia karangatia hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Hotene,

Paul, called to be an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 Ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ki te hunga kua oti te whakatapu i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua karangatia hei hunga tapu, ratou ko te hunga katoa i nga wahi katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, o to ratou Ariki, o to ta tou:

to the congregation of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called to be kadoshim, with all who call on the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

4 He whakawhetai tonu taku mahi ki toku Atua mo koutou, mo te aroha noa o te Atua kua homai nei ki a koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu;

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua;

5 Kua meinga hoki kia hua nga mea katoa ma koutou i roto i a ia, te whakapuaki korero, te matauranga;

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 Pena hoki me te whakaaturanga i a te Karaiti kua u na i roto i a koutou:

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:

7 I kore ai koutou e hapa i tetahi mea homai; i a koutou e tatari na ki te whakakitenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti:

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to be revealed;

8 Mana hoki koutou e whakau a taea noatia te mutunga, kia kore ai koutou e ekengia e te kupu i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

9 He pono te Atua, nana nei koutou i karanga kia uru tahi ki tana Tama, ko Ihu Karaiti, ki to tatou Ariki.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord.

10 Na, he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, kia kotahi ta koutou korero katoa, a kia kaua he wehewehenga i roto i a koutou; engari kia tuituia koutou i runga i te ngakau kotahi, i te whaka aro kotahi.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 Kua oti hoki koutou te tohutohu mai, e oku teina, e te hunga o te whare o Koroi, tena nga tautohetohe kei roto i a koutou.

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Anei te tikanga o taku korero, kei te ki tena o koutou na, No Paora ahau; a, No Aporo ahau; a, Ko ahau no Kipa; Ko ahau no te Karaiti.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Kefa," and, "I follow Messiah."

13 Kua oti koia a te Karaiti te wahi? i ripekatia ranei a Paora mo koutou? i iriiria ranei koutou i runga i te ingoa o Paora?

Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

14 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, moku kihai i iriiri i tetahi o koutou, ko Kirihipu anake raua ko Kaiu;

I thank God that I immersed none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Kei waiho e te tangata hei korero, naku koutou i iriiri i runga i toku ingoa.

so that no one should say that you had been immersed into my own name.

16 Naku ano i iriiri nga tangata o te whare o Tepana: i ko ake, kahore ahau i te mahara ki taku iriiringa i tetahi atu.

(Now I also immersed the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I immersed any other.)

17 Kihai hoki ahau i tonoa e te Karaiti ki te iriiri, engari ki te kauwhau i te rongopai: ehara i te mea i runga i te mohio ki nga kupu, kei whakakahoretia te ripeka o te Karaiti.

For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.

18 Ko te korero hoki o te ripeka ki te hunga e whakangaromia ana he mea wawau; ki a tatou ia, ki te hunga e whakaorangia ana, ko te kaha tera o te Atua.

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 Ka oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka ngaro i ahau te whakaaro nui o te hunga whakaaro, ka kore hoki i ahau te mahara o te hunga mahara.

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 Kei hea te tangata whakaaro? kei hea te karaipi? kei hea te tangata tohe o tenei ao? kahore ano koia i whakakuwaretia e te Atua te whakaaro nui o tenei ao? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)

21 I te mea hoki i runga i to te Atua whakaaro nui, kihai nga whakaaro nui o te ao i mohio ki te Atua, na ka pai te Atua kia meinga te kuware o te kupu kauwhau hei whakaora i te hunga e whakapono ana.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 Ina hoki ko ta nga Hurai he tono tohu, ko ta nga Kariki he rapu whakaaro nui:

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 Ko ta matou ia he kauwhau i a te Karaiti i ripekatia he tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, he mea kuware ki nga Kariki;

but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 Ki te hunga ia e karangatia ana, ahakoa Hurai, ahakoa Kariki, ko te Karaiti, ko te kaha o te Atua, ko te whakaaro mohio o te Atua.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 No te mea he kuware no te Atua nui atu te mohio i nga tangata; he ngoikore no te Atua kaha atu i nga tangata.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 Titiro oti ki to koutou karangatanga, e oku teina, kihai i tokomaha te hunga whakaaro o te wahi ki te kikokiko, kihai i tokomaha te hunga nunui, kihai i tokomaha nga rangatira, e karangatia ana:

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

27 Engari i whiriwhiria e te Atua ko nga mea kuware o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai te hunga whakaaro; i whiriwhiria ano e te Atua ko nga mea ngoikore o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai nga mea kaha.

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 Ko nga mea ware o te ao, ko nga mea e whakahaweatia ana, ko ena i whiriwhiria e te Atua, ae, ko nga mea kahore noa iho, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga tino mea ake;

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 Kia kore ai tetahi kikokiko e whakamanamana i te aroaro o te Atua.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Nana hoki koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua meinga nei ia hei take whakaaro nui mo tatou, he mea na te Atua, hei tika, hei whakatapu, hei hoko:

And because of him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Kia rite ai ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ki te whakamanamana tetahi, me whakamanamana ia ki te Ariki.

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
