1 Kolinitō 1

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

1KO AU PAULA, naʻe ui ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, mo Sositine ko e tokoua,

2To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

2ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kolinitō, kiate kinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, kuo hoko ko e māʻoniʻoni, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he potu fulipē ʻoku ui ki he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻonautolu mo ʻotautolu fakatouʻosi:

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

3Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

4I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,

4‌ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki hoku ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kuo foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi;

5that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—

5Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakakoloaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻi he ngaahi lea kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi ʻilo kotoa pē;

6even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you—

6‌ʻO hangē ko hono fakamoʻoni ʻoe fakahā ʻo Kalaisi ʻiate kimoutolu:

7so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

7Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tomui ʻi ha foaki; ʻo tatali ki he fakahā ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi:

8who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8‌ʻAia te ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu foki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, koeʻuhi ke mou taʻehala ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

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

9‌ʻOku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ki he feohi mo hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki.

10I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.

10Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke lea taha pe ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē, pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi mavahevahe; ka mou māʻopoʻopo lelei ʻo loto taha pe, pea fakakaukau taha pe.

11For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers.

11He kuo fakahā mai kiate au ʻakimoutolu, ʻe hoku kāinga, ʻekinautolu ʻi he fale ʻo Koloi, ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi kikihi ʻiate kimoutolu.

12What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”

12Pea ko ʻeku lea eni, ʻoku mou taki taha pehē, “ʻOku ʻo Paula au;” pea, “ʻOku ʻo ʻApolosi au;” pea, “ʻOku ʻo Kifasi au;” pea, “ʻOku ʻo Kalaisi au.”

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

13Kuo mavahevahe koā ʻa Kalaisi? Naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻa Paula koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu? Pe naʻa mou papitaiso ʻi he hingoa ʻo Paula?

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

14‌ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te u papitaiso ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ka ko Kalisipo mo Keio;

15so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name.

15Telia naʻa pehē ʻe ha niʻihi kuo u fai papitaiso ʻi hoku hingoa ʻoʻoku.

16(I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)

16Pea naʻaku papitaiso foki ʻae fale ʻo Setivena: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe naʻaku papitaiso mo ha taha kehe.

17For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

17He naʻe ʻikai fekau au ʻe Kalaisi ke papitaiso, ka ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei: kae ʻikai ʻi he poto ʻoe lea, telia naʻa fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻae ʻakau naʻe tutuki ki ai ʻa Kalaisi.

18For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

18He ko e malangaʻaki ʻae ʻakau naʻe tutuki ia ki ai ko e vale ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku malaʻia: ka ko e mālohi ia ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kitautolu kuo fakamoʻui.

19For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”

19He kuo tohi, “Te u fakaʻauha ʻae poto ʻoe kau poto, Pea te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻilo ʻoe ʻiloʻilo.”

20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

20Ko e fē ʻae poto? Ko e fē ʻae tangata tohi? Ko e fē ʻae fakakikihi ʻo māmani? ʻIkai kuo fakamatavalea ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae poto ʻo māmani?

21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

21He koeʻuhi ʻi he poto ʻoe ʻOtua naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻe māmani ʻi hono poto, pea naʻe lelei ki he ʻOtua ʻi he “vale” ʻoe malanga ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku tui.

22For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,

22He ʻoku tangi ʻe he kakai Siu ki ha meʻa fakaofo, pea ʻoku kumi ʻe he kakai Kiliki ki he poto:

23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,

23Ka ʻoku mau malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau, ko e tūkiaʻanga ki he kakai Siu, pea ki he kakai Kiliki ko e vale;

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

24Ka ko e mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua mo e poto ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Kalaisi, kiate kinautolu kuo ui, ʻi he kakai Siu mo e kakai Kiliki.

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

25He ko ia ʻoku vale ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku poto lahi ia ʻi he tangata; mo ia ʻoku vaivai ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku mālohi lahi ia ʻi he tangata.

26For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

26He ʻoka mou mamata ki homou ui, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ui ha tokolahi ʻoe poto fakakakano, pe ko e tokolahi ʻi he mālohi, pe ko e tokolahi ʻi he houʻeiki:

27But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;

27Ka kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa vale ʻoe māmani, ke fakamā ʻae poto; pea kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa vaivai ʻoe māmani, ke fakamā ʻae mālohi;

28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,

28Mo e kau lāuvale ʻoe māmani, mo e meʻa kuo manuki, kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kuo ʻikai, ke ne fakaʻosi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ai:

29so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

29Ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha toko taha ʻi hono ʻao.

30And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

30Ka ko e meʻa ʻiate ia ʻoku mou ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻaia kuo hoko ai ia mei he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ko e poto, mo e fakatonuhia, mo e māʻoniʻoni, mo e huhuʻi:

31so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

31Koeʻuhi, ke hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko ia ʻoku vikiviki, ke vikiviki ia ʻi he ʻEiki.”
