¹Paulus, Kristuse Jeesuse apostliks kutsutud Jumala tahtmisel, ja vend Soostenes -

¹Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

²Korintoses olevale Jumala kogudusele, Kristuses Jeesuses pühitsetuile, kutsutud pühadele ning kõigile neile, kes kõigis paigus appi hüüavad meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse nime, kes on nende ja meie Issand:

²to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

³Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!

³Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁴Ma tänan alati oma Jumalat teie pärast Jumala armu eest, mis teile on antud Kristuses Jeesuses!

⁴I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

⁵Te olete ju kõige poolest saanud rikkaks temas, igasuguses sõnas ja igasuguses mõistmises,

⁵that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

⁶kuna tunnistus Kristusest on teis kinnitatud,

⁶even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

⁷nii et teil ei ole puudu ühestki armuannist, oodates meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse ilmumist.

⁷so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁸Tema kinnitab teid ka lõpuni, et te oleksite laitmatult puhtad meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse päeval.

⁸who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹Ustav on Jumal, kelle poolt te olete kutsutud osadusse tema Poja Jeesuse Kristuse, meie Issandaga.

⁹God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

¹⁰Ma kutsun teid üles, vennad, meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse nime pärast, et te kõik räägiksite ühtviisi ja et teie seas ei oleks lõhesid, vaid et te oleksite ühte liidetud samas meeles ja samas nõus.

¹⁰Now I beg you, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹¹Kuid Kloe pere, mu vennad, on mulle teie kohta teatanud, et teie seas on riidu.

¹¹For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

¹²Ma räägin sellest, et igaüks teist ütleb: 'Mina olen Pauluse poolel!' või: 'Mina olen Apollose poolel!' või: 'Mina olen Keefase poolel!' või: 'Mina olen Kristuse poolel!'

¹²Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”

¹³Kas Kristus on mitmeks jagatud?! Kas Paulus löödi risti teie eest? Või ristiti teid Pauluse nimesse?

¹³Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

¹⁴Ma tänan Jumalat, et ma ei ole teie seast kedagi ristinud peale Krispuse ja Gaiuse,

¹⁴I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

¹⁵nii et keegi ei saa öelda teid olevat ristitud minu nimesse.

¹⁵so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.

¹⁶Siiski ma ristisin ka Stefanase pere; kedagi muud ei tea ma olevat ristinud.

¹⁶(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)

¹⁷Sest Kristus ei läkitanud mind ristima, vaid evangeeliumi kuulutama, mitte aga inimliku tarkuse sõnadega, et Kristuse rist ei muutuks tühiseks.

¹⁷For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.

¹⁸Jah, sõna ristist on narrus neile, kes hukkuvad, aga meile, kes päästetakse, on see Jumala vägi,

¹⁸For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

¹⁹sest kirjutatud on: 'Ma hävitan tarkade tarkuse ja teen olematuks mõistlike mõistuse.'

¹⁹For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.” Isaiah 29:14

²⁰Kus on tark? Kus on õpetlane? Kus on selle ajastu arutleja? Kas mitte Jumal pole teinud maailma tarkuse narruseks?

²⁰Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²¹Kuna maailm Jumala tarkuses ei tundnud Jumalat ära tarkuse abil, siis oli Jumalale meelepärane päästa selle narri kuulutuse kaudu need, kes usuvad.

²¹For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

²²Sest juudid nõuavad tunnustähti ja kreeklased otsivad tarkust,

²²For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

²³meie aga kuulutame ristilöödud Kristust, kes on juutidele ärrituseks ja paganaile narruseks,

²³but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

²⁴ent neile, kes on kutsutud, olgu juutidele või kreeklastele, on ta Kristus, Jumala vägi ja Jumala tarkus.

²⁴but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

²⁵Sest Jumala narrus on inimestest targem ja Jumala nõtrus inimestest tugevam.

²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁶Vaadake, vennad, iseendid, millistena te olete kutsutud: mitte palju tarku inimeste meelest, mitte palju vägevaid, mitte palju kõrgest soost.

²⁶For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;

²⁷Kuid Jumal on valinud maailma meelest narrid, et häbistada tarku, ja Jumal on valinud maailma meelest nõrgad, et häbistada tugevaid.

²⁷but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;

²⁸Jumal on valinud need, kes maailma meelest on alamast soost ja halvakspandud, need, kes midagi ei ole, et teha tühiseks need, kes midagi on,

²⁸and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:

²⁹et ükski inimene ei kiitleks Jumala ees.

²⁹that no flesh should boast before God.

³⁰Aga teie olete tema tõttu Kristuses Jeesuses, kes on saanud meile tarkuseks Jumalalt ning õiguseks ja pühitsuseks ja lunastuseks,

³⁰But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

³¹et läheks täide, nagu on kirjutatud: 'Kes tahab kiidelda, kiidelgu Issanda üle!'

³¹that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:24
