1 Man Pool, ndawul Kirist Yeesu ci coobareg Yàlla, man ak Sosten sunu mbokk,
1Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
2 noo leen di bind, yéen mbooloom Yàlla, mi dëkk Korent. Nu ngi leen di nuyu, yéen ñi Yàlla sédde boppam jaare ci Kirist Yeesu, yéen ñi Yàlla woo, ngeen sell, boole leen ak ñi nekk ci àddina sépp tey tudd turu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, miy seen Boroom, di sunu bos.
2to 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 Na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Yeesu Kirist Boroom bi may yiw ak jàmm.
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
4 Duma jóg ci di sant Yàlla sama Boroom ci seen mbir ndax yiw, wi mu leen may ci seen bokk ci Kirist Yeesu.
4I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus,
5 Ndaxte ci yiwi Yàlla yépp ngeen woomle ci Kirist, muy ci wax, muy ci xam-xam.
5that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all discourse and all knowledge,
6 Ndaxte li nu doon seedeel Kirist, Yàlla dëggal na ko ci yéen.
6according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you,
7 Noonu nag ñàkkuleen genn may léegi bi ngeen di séentu waxtu, wi sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist di feeñ ci biir ndamam.
7so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8 Kirist dina leen dooleel ba ca muj ga, ngir ngeen bañ a am wenn ŋàññ bés bu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist dellusee.
8who also shall confirm you unto the end — unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 Yàlla kuy sàmm kóllëre la, moom mi leen woo, ngir ngeen bokk ak Doomam Yeesu Kirist, sunu Boroom.
9faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Waaye bokk yi, maa ngi leen di dénk ci turu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, ngeen juboo te bañ a féewaloo ci seen biir. Waaye nangeen ànd te booloo, bokk xel, bokk xalaat.
10And 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 Ndaxte bokk yi, waa kër Kelowe xamal nañu ma ne, dangeen di xuloo.
11for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe, that contentions are among you;
12 Maa ngi ñëw ca wax ja: kenn ku nekk ci yéena ngi naan: «Man ci Pool laa bokk!» «Man ci Apolos!» «Man ci Sefas!» «Man ci Kirist!»
12and 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 Ndax Kirist dafa xaajoo? Ndax Pool lañu daajoon ca bant ba, mu dee ngir yéen? Ndax sóob nañu leen ci ndox, ngir wone ne bokk ngeen ci Pool?
13Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized;
14 Maa ngi sant Yàlla ci li ma sóobul kenn ci yéen, ku dul Kirispus ak Gayus,
14I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize, except Crispus and Gaius —
15 ngir kenn bañ a wax ne, ci sama tur lañu ko sóob.
15that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize;
16 Aaŋkay! Sóob naa it ci ndox waa kër Estefanas. Waaye ci sama pàttaliku sóobuma keneen.
16and I did baptize also Stephanas` household — further, I have not known if I did baptize any other.
17 Ndaxte Kirist yebalu ma ngir may sóobe ci ndox, waaye da maa yebal, ngir may yégle xebaar bu baax bi, te ma bañ koo def ak waxi xam-xamu nit, ngir bañ a ñàkkal faayda deewu Kirist ca bant ba.
17For 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 Ndaxte yégleb deewu Kirist ca bant ba, ag ndof la ci ñiy sànku. Waaye ci nun ñi aw ci yoonu mucc gi, dooley Yàlla la.
18for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us — those being saved — it is the power of God,
19 Ndaxte Mbind mi nee na:«Dinaa folli xam-xamu boroom xam-xam yi,lem xalaati ñi am xel.»
19for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;`
20 Ana boroom xam-xam bi? Ana kaaŋ mi? Ana boroom làmmiñ wu neex, wi ci àddina sii? Xanaa Yàlla wonewul ne, xam-xamu àddina si ag ndof la?
20where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 Gannaaw àddina si ci xam-xamam demul ba xam Yàlla --te Yàllaa dogal loolu ci xam-xamam — soob na Yàlla mu musal ñi gëm, jaar ci yégleb xebaaru Kirist, fekk ag ndof la ci bëti nit.
21for, 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 Ndaxte Yawut yi ñu ngi laaj ay firnde; Gereg yi di wut xam-xam.
22Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,
23 Waaye nun nu ngi yégle Kirist, mi ñu reyoon ca bant ba, te loolooy téq ngëmu Yawut yi, di ag ndof ci ñi dul Yawut.
23also we — we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,
24 Waaye ci ñi Yàlla woo, ñuy Yawut mbaa di Gereg, Kirist mooy dooley Yàlla, di xam-xamu Yàlla.
24and to those called — both Jews and Greeks — Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,
25 Li ñuy wax ag ndof ca wàllu Yàlla moo gën a tedd xam-xamu nit. Te li ñuy wax ñàkk dooley Yàlla moo ëpp kàttan dooley nit.
25because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
26 Bokk yi, seetleen seen nekkin, bi leen Yàlla di woo. Barewul woon ci yéen, ñi ñuy tudde ay boroom xam-xam mbaa ay boroom doole mbaa ñu rafet ab juddu.
26for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble;
27 Waaye li àddina teg ag ndof, Yàlla tànn na ko, ngir rusloo boroom xam-xam yi; te li àddina teg ag ñàkk doole, Yàlla tànn na ko, ngir rusloo boroom doole yi.
27but 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 Li dul juddu bu rafet te mat a xeeb ci àddina, Yàlla tànn na ko; Yàlla tànn na li nekkul, ngir neenal li nekk.
28and 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 Noonu kenn du man a damu ca kanam Yàlla.
29that no flesh may glory before Him;
30 Waaye Yàlla moo def ba ngeen bokk ci Kirist, moom mi doon ci nun xam-xam bu jóge ca Yàlla, maanaam: sunu njubte, sunu sellaay, sunu njot.
30and of Him ye — ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,
31 Loolu dafa am, ngir li Mbind mi wax am, ne: «Kuy damu, na damu ci Boroom bi.»
31that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying — in the Lord let him glory.`
