1 Korint 1

1 Paul, aple kon apot Jésus Kri pa volonte Bondye a, ak Sosthène, frè nou,

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

2 A legliz Bondye ki nan vil Corinthe lan, a sila ki gen tan sanktifye nan Jésus Kri yo, sen pa apèl Bondye yo, avèk tout sila yo nan tout kote ki rele non Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri; Senyè pa yo e pa nou.

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

3 Gras de nou e lapè Bondye, Papa nou an, ak Senyè a Jésus Kri.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

4 Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an tout tan, o sijè de nou menm, pou lagras Bondye te bannou nan Jésus Kri a.

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

5 Ke nan tout bagay nou te anrichi nan Li, nan tout pawòl ak tout konesans,

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

6 menm pandan temwayaj konsènan Kris la te konfime nan nou,

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:

7 jis pou nou pa manke nan okenn don, e tann avèk enpasyans revelasyon a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri,

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

8 ki va osi konfime nou jiska lafen, san defo nan jou Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri.

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

9 Bondye fidèl, selon Sila nou te rele nan amitye fratènèl avèk Fis Li a, Jésus Kri, Senyè nou an.

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

10 Koulye a, mwen egzòte nou, frè yo, pa non a Senyè nou an, Jésus Kri, pou nou tout vin antann nou, pou pa gen divizyon pami nou, men pou nou vin konplè nan menm panse ak nan menm jijman.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus (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 Paske mwen enfòme o sijè de nou menm, frè m yo, pa moun Chloé yo, ke gen konfli pami nou.

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 Alò, men kisa m ap di. Nou chak ap di: “Mwen se moun Paul”, “Mwen se moun Apollos”, “Mwen se moun Céphas”, e “Mwen se moun Kris la”.

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

13 Èske Kris la vin divize? Èske Paul te krisifye pou nou? Oswa èske nou te vin batize nan non Paul?

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

14 Mwen remèsye Bondye ke m pa t batize okenn nan nou sof ke Crispus ak Gaïus,

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

15 pou okenn moun pa ka di ke nou te batize nan non mwen.

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

16 Alò, mwen te batize tout fanmi Stéphanas la; anplis de sa, mwen pa konnen si m te batize okenn lòt moun.

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

17 Paske Kris pa t voye m pou batize, men pou preche bòn nouvèl la pa avèk bèl pawòl moun save yo, pou ke kwa Kris la pa ta vin anile.

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

18 Paske pawòl lakwa a se foli pou sila k ap peri yo, men pou nou menm k ap sove yo, se pwisans a Bondye.

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 Paske sa ekri: “Mwen va detwi sajès a saj yo, e entèlijans moun save yo, mwen va mete sou kote.”

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

20 Kote nonm saj la? Kote skrib la? Kote moun deba a laj sila a? Èske Bondye pa fè sajès a mond lan vin foli? (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 Paske akoz nan sajès Bondye, lemond ak sajès pa li pa t vin konnen Bondye. Konsa, Bondye te byen kontan selon foli a mesaj ki te preche a, pou sove sila ki kwè yo.

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 Paske anverite Jwif yo mande pou sign, e Grèk yo chache sajès;

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

23 men nou preche Kris krisifye a, pou Jwif yo, yon wòch k ap fè moun bite, e pou pèp etranje yo, yon foli.

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

24 Men pou sila ki aple yo, ni Jwif, ni Grèk, Kris la se pwisans a Bondye, ak sajès Bondye.

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

25 Paske foli Bondye a pi saj ke lòm, e feblès Bondye a pi fò ke lòm.

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

26 Paske konsidere apèl nou an, frè yo, ke pa t gen anpil moun ki te saj selon lachè, ni anpil moun ki te fò, ni anpil moun nòb.

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

27 Men Bondye te chwazi foli a mond lan pou fè saj yo wont, e Bondye te chwazi bagay fèb a mond lan pou fè bagay ki pwisan yo vin piti.

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 Konsa, Bondye chwazi bagay ki ba e meprize nan mond lan, bagay ki pa anyen, pou li kapab anile bagay ki egziste deja yo,

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 pou fè pèsòn pa kapab vante tèt yo devan Bondye.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 Men selon sa ke Li menm te fè a, nou nan Jésus Kri. Se Li ki te devni pou nou sajès ki soti nan Bondye, ansanm ak jistis, sanktifikasyon, ak redanmsyon.

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

31 Konsa, jan sa ekri a: “Kite sila ki vante tèt li a, vante tèt li nan SENYÈ a.”

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