1 KORINTI 1
1 Surat enda rehna i bas aku nari, Paulus si enggo ipilih Dibata rikutken sura-suraNa, jadi rasul Kristus Jesus, bage pe i bas seninanta Sostenes nari.
2 Surat enda man perpulungen ni Dibata i Korinti, e me man kerina kalak si ipilih ras ikhususken Dibata jadi sikerajangenNa i bas persadan ras Kristus Jesus. Surat enda pe man kerina kalak subuk i japa pe ia ringan, si ertoto i bas gelar Tuhanta Jesus Kristus, e me Tuhanna dingen Tuhanta. t
3 Dibata Bapanta ras Tuhanta Jesus Kristuslah mereken lias ate ras kemalemen ate man bandu.Pengataken bujur
4 La erngadi-ngadi kukataken bujur man Dibatangku kerna kam, erkiteken lias ate si enggo iberekenNa man bandu arah Kristus Jesus. 5 Sabap i bas persadanndu ras Kristus, kam enggo ipebayak i bas kai pe, i bas pengeranandu bage pe i bas pemetehndu. 6 Berita kerna Jesus Kristus enggo enteguh i tengah-tengahndu. 7 Seh maka i bas kam nimai Tuhanta Jesus Kristus encidahken diriNa, la kam kurang kai pe kerna pemere-pemereNa. 8 Janah Kristus pe ngepkep kam seh ku kedungenna, gelah sanga Ia reh pagi ngadili doni enda idapetiNa kam la ersalah.
9 Dibata e terteki kal. Ia kap si ndilo kam ku bas persadan ras AnakNa Jesus Kristus Tuhanta.Perpecahen i tengah-tengah perpulungen
10 O senina-senina, kupindo man bandu i bas gelar Tuhanta Jesus Kristus: ersadalah katandu kerina, gelah ola sempat jadi perpecahen i tengah-tengahndu. Ersadalah ukurndu janah ersadalah sura-surandu. 11 Sabap piga-piga kalak i bas jabu Klue nari ngatakenca man bangku maka i tengah-tengahndu lit turah perjengilen. 12 Maksudku e me: maka sekalak-sekalak kam enggo erpihak-pihak. Lit si ngatakenca, “Aku arah Paulus,” lit ka si ngatakenca, “Aku arah Apolos,” deba nina, “Aku arah Petrus,” janah lit pe si ngatakenca, “Aku arah Kristus.” t
13 Ibagi-bagiken kin Kristus man bandu? Paulus kin si mate i kayu persilang man gunandu? I bas gelar Paulus kin kam iperidiken?
14 Kukataken bujur man Dibata sabap sekalak pe kam la aku mperidikenca, seakatan Krispus ras Gayus. t 15 Dage sekalak pe kam la banci ngatakenca maka kam nai iperidiken gelah jadi ajar-ajarku. 16 Lupa aku! Istepanus ras isi jabuna pe nai aku nge kepe mperidikenca; tapi lain si e la lit kuinget kalak si deban si kuperidiken. t
17 Aku isuruh Kristus labo guna mperidiken, tapi guna meritaken Berita Si Meriah, janah e pe labo erkiteken kinibeluhen manusia ngerana, gelah ola lasam kematen Kristus i kayu persilang.Kerna kepentaren Dibata ras kepentaren doni
18 Sabap berita kerna kematen Kristus i kayu persilang jadi kebodohen man kalak si nuju ku kebenen, tapi man banta si nuju ku keselamaten, berita e me gegeh Dibata.
19 Sabap nina Dibata bagi tersurat i bas Pustaka Si Badia,
“Kukernepken me kepentaren kalak si pentar,
janah Kusia-siaken me kinibeluhen kalak si beluh.” t
20 Dage, kai ertina kalak pentar, kalak si erpemeteh, ras tukang njabapi jaman enda adi enggo ijadiken Dibata kepentaren doni enda jadi kebodohen? t
21 Sabap doni enda la ngasup nandai Dibata alu kepentarenna, e maka kepentaren Dibata enggo netapken guna nelamatken kalak si tek kerna berita si iakap doni enda e me kebodohen. 22 Kalak Jahudi mindo tanda sengget jadi bukti, janah kalak Junani ndarami kepentaren. 23 Tapi si iberitaken kami e me Kristus si ipakuken i kayu persilang. Berita enda erbahanca megelut kalak Jahudi janah kebodohen iakap kalak si deban si labo kalak Jahudi. 24 Tapi man kalak si enggo ipilih Dibata, subuk kalak Jahudi bage pe kalak Junani, Kristus e kap gegeh Dibata ras kepentaren Dibata.
25 Sabap kai si tempa-tempa kebodohen Dibata, si tuhuna pentaren asangken kepentaren manusia, janah kai si tempa-tempa kinilangasupen Dibata, si tuhuna gegehen asangken gegeh manusia.
26 O senina-senina, ingetlah kuga nai kam asum ipilih Dibata. La piga kam si pentar, ntah erkuasa, ntah pe kesusuren kalak si mehaga rikutken anggapen manusia. 27 Tapi guna pekitik kalak pentar, ipilih Dibata kalak bodoh rikutken anggapen doni enda; janah guna pekitik kalak si mbisa, ipilih Dibata kalak si la megegeh rikutken anggapen doni enda. 28 IpilihNa pe kalak si la meherga, si hina, dingen si la terpake iakap doni enda, guna engkernepken kai si ianggap doni enda penting. 29 Gelah ola ise pe meganjang ukurna i lebe-lebe Dibata. 30 Tapi kam enggo ipersadaken Dibata ras Kristus Jesus, janah enggo itetapken Dibata maka Kristus Jesus jadi kepentarenta. Erkiteken Kristus nge maka kita enggo rembak ras Dibata, khusus jadi sikerajangenNa, janah kita enggo itebusiNa. 31 E maka bagi lit tersurat i bas Pustaka Si Badia, “Kalak si ermegah ate, megahlah akapna kerna Tuhan.” t
1 Corinthians 1
Salutation
1 From Paul,t called to be an apostle of Christ Jesuss by the will of God, and Sosthenes, our brother,2 to the church of God that is in Corinth,s to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and called to be saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.t
3 Grace and peace to yout from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Thanksgiving
4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus.5 For you were made richs in every way in him, in all your speech and in every kind of knowledges –6 just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed among you –7 so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelations of our Lord Jesus Christ.8 Het will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Divisions in the Church
10 I urge you, brothers and sisters,t by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together,t to end your divisions,t and to be united by the same mind and purpose.t11 For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters,t that there are quarrelst among you.12 Now I mean this, thatt each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”13 Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he?t Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul?t14 I thank Gods that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name!16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanus. Otherwise, I do not remember whether I baptized anyone else.)
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel – and not with clever speech, so that the cross of Christ would not become useless.t
The Message of the Cross
18 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 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”s20 Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law?t Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?21 For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.22 For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,23 but we preach about a crucified Christ,t a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.24 But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,t and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.t
26 Think about the circumstances of your call,t brothers and sisters.t Not many were wise by human standards,t not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position.t27 But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.28 God choset what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,29 so that no one can boast in his presence.30 He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus,t who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”s
