First Corinthians
Chapter 1 »
1
From Paul, called by the will of Allah as a messenger of Isa Al-Masih, and from the brother Sosthenes.
مِنْ بَاوُلَ، اَلْمَدْعُوِّ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ مُرْسَلًا لِعِيسَى الْمَسِيحِ، وَمِنَ الْأَخِ سُوسْثِينَ،
2
To the jama'a of chosen people of Allah in the city of Corinth, whom Allah purified to make them holy by their belonging to Al-Masih Isa. They are called to be holy along with everyone in every place who prays dua' to Allah in the name of our mawla Isa Al-Masih, mawla to us and to them.
إِلَى جَمَاعَةِ مُصْطَفَيِ اللهِ فِي مَدِينَةِ كُورِنْثَ، اَلَّذِينَ طَهَّرَهُمُ اللهُ مُقَدَّسِينَ بِانْتِمَائِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ عِيسَى، اَلْمَدْعُوِّينَ لِيَكُونُوا مُقَدَّسِينَ صُحْبَةَ كُلِّ مَنْ يَدْعُو اللهَ بِاسْمِ مَوْلَانَا عِيسَى الْمَسِيحِ، مَوْلًى لَنَا وَلَهُمْ، فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ.
4
I praise and thank Allah always for you because of the grace of Allah that is given to you by your belonging to Al-Masih Isa.
أَحْمَدُ اللهَ شَاكِرًا إِيَّاهُ دَائِمًا مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ بِسَبَبِ فَضْلِ اللهِ الْمَوْهُوبِ لَكُمْ بِانْتِمَائِكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ عِيسَى،
6
since the shahada of Al-Masih was confirmed in you.
إِذْ قَدْ ثَبَتَتْ شَهَادَةُ الْمَسِيحِ فِيكُمْ،
7
So you are not lacking any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our mawla Isa Al-Masih.
فَلَا تَنْقُصُكُمْ أَيَّةُ هِبَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ وَأَنْتُمْ تَتَرَقَّبُونَ ظُهُورَ مَوْلَانَا عِيسَى الْمَسِيحِ،
8
He will establish you until the end so you can be without blame on the day of the coming of our mawla Isa Al-Masih.
إِنَّهُ سَيُثَبِّتُكُمْ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ لِتَكُونُوا بِلَا لَوْمٍ فِي يَوْمِ مَجِيءِ مَوْلَانَا عِيسَى الْمَسِيحِ.
10
Brother believers, I urge you in the name of our mawla Isa Al-Masih to agree together without division, united in mind and opinion.
أَيُّهَا الْإِخْوَةُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ، أُنَاشِدُكُمْ بِاسْمِ مَوْلَانَا عِيسَى الْمَسِيحِ أَنْ تَتَّفِقُوا مَعًا دُونَ انْقِسَامٍ مُتَّحِدِينَ فِي الْفِكْرِ وَالرَّأْيِ.
12
Every one of you says: "I am for Paul," or "I am for Apollos," or "I am for Peter," or "I am for Al-Masih."
إِذْ يَقُولُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ: «أَنَا مَعَ بَاوُلَ،» أَوْ: «أَنَا مَعَ أَبُلُّو،» أَوْ: «أَنَا مَعَ صَخْرٍ،» أَوْ: «أَنَا مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ.»
13
Has Al-Masih become divided? Did Paul die by crucifixion as a ransom for you? Or were you washed with the ghusl of faith in the name of Paul?
هَلْ أَصْبَحَ الْمَسِيحُ مُنْقَسِمًا؟ أَمْ هَلْ مَاتَ بَاوُلُ مَصْلُوبًا فِدًى لَكُمْ؟ أَمْ هَلِ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ غُسْلَ الْإِيمَانِ بِاسْمِ بَاوُلَ؟
14
I praise and thank Allah that I did not immerse anyone with the ghusl of faith except Crispus and Gaius.
أَحْمَدُ اللهَ شَاكِرًا أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُغَطِّسْ أَحَدًا غُسْلَ الْإِيمَانِ فِيمَا عَدَا كِرِيسْبِي وَغَايَ،
15
Then no one can claim that you were washed in my name.
حَتَّى لَا يَدَّعِيَ أَحَدٌ أَنَّكُمُ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ بِاسْمِي.
16
I immersed the household of Stephanus also, but I do not remember anyone else.
وَقَدْ غَطَّسْتُ أَيْضًا آلَ اصْطِيفَانَ، لَكِنْ لَا أَتَذَكَّرُ أَحَدًا آخَرَ،
17
For Al-Masih did not send me to wash people with the ghusl of faith, but to spread the good news, not with the wisdom of words, so as not to annul the validity of the cross of Al-Masih.
إِذْ لَمْ يُرْسِلْنِي الْمَسِيحُ لِغُسْلِ النَّاسِ غُسْلَ الْإِيمَانِ بَلْ لِنَشْرِ الْبُشْرَى، وَذَلِكَ لَيْسَ بِحِكْمَةِ الْكَلَامِ، لِئَلَّا يُفْسَخَ مَفْعُولُ صَلْبِ الْمَسِيحِ.
18
The people who are being destroyed consider the message of the cross of Al-Masih to be jahil. But we who are being saved consider it the power of mercy from Allah.
يَعْتَبِرُ الْهَالِكُونَ رِسَالَةَ صَلْبِ الْمَسِيحِ جَهْلًا، لَكِنَّنَا نَحْنُ النَّاجُونَ نَعْتَبِرُهَا قُوَّةً مِنَ اللهِ،
20
Where is the wise person? Where is the faqih? Where is the debater of this time? Did Allah not make the wisdom of this world foolishness?
أَيْنَ الْحَكِيمُ؟ وَأَيْنَ الْفَقِيهُ؟ وَأَيْنَ مُنَاقِشُ هَذَا الزَّمَانِ؟ أَلَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللهُ حِكْمَةَ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حُمْقًا؟
21
Allah predestined by his wisdom that the people of this world would not know him by their wisdom. So his rida was to save all those who trust in him through the good news that people consider foolishness.
لَقَدْ قَضَى اللهُ بِحِكْمَتِهِ أَلَّا يَعْرِفَهُ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا بِحِكْمَتِهِمْ، لِذَلِكَ رَضِيَ أَنْ يُنْجِيَ جَمِيعَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْهِ بِوَاسِطَةِ الْبُشْرَى الَّتِي اعْتَبَرَهَا النَّاسُ حَمَاقَةً.
22
Al-Yahud ask for ayat, and Greeks sing the praises of wisdom.
فَالْيَهُودُ يَطْلُبُونَ الْآيَاتِ، وَالْإِغْرِيقُ يَنْشُدُونَ الْحِكْمَةَ،
23
But we call out about Al-Masih and his cross. This is an obstacle to Al-Yahud and foolishness to the nations of the polytheists.
لَكِنَّنَا نَحْنُ نُنَادِي بِالْمَسِيحِ وَصَلْبِهِ، وَهَذَا عَثْرَةٌ لِلْيَهُودِ وَحَمَاقَةٌ لِأُمَمِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ،
24
But those Allah has chosen among Al-Yahud and the Greeks have Al-Masih, the power and wisdom of Allah.
أَمَّا الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَاهُمُ اللهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْيَهُودِ وَالْإِغْرِيقِ، فَلَهُمُ الْمَسِيحُ قُوَّةُ اللهِ وَحِكْمَتُهُ.
25
What people consider foolishness with Allah is wiser than the wisdom of people. And what they consider weakness with Allah is stronger than the strength of people.
فَمَا يَعْتَبِرُهُ النَّاسُ جَهَالَةً عِنْدَ اللهِ هُوَ أَحْكَمُ مِنْ حِكْمَةِ الْبَشَرِ، وَمَا يَعْتَبِرُونَهُ ضَعْفًا عِنْدَ اللهِ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْ قُوَّةِ الْبَشَرِ.
26
Brothers, look to yourselves. Allah did not chose many people among you who were wise with the wisdom of people. Nor did he chose many strong or noble people.
أَيُّهَا الْإِخْوَةُ، اُنْظُرُوا إِلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ. لَمْ يَصْطَفِ اللهُ بَيْنَكُمْ حُكَمَاءَ كَثِيرِينَ حَسَبَ حِكْمَةِ الْبَشَرِ، وَلَا اصْطَفَى أَقْوِيَاءَ أَوْ شُرَفَاءَ كَثِيرِينَ،
27
But Allah chose what was foolish in this world to make the wise embarrassed. Allah chose what was weak in this world to make the strong embarrassed.
لَكِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَى مَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ حَمَاقَةٍ لِيُخْجِلَ بِهِ الْحُكَمَاءَ، وَقَدِ اصْطَفَى اللهُ مَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ ضَعْفٍ لِيُخْجِلَ بِهِ الْأَقْوِيَاءَ،
28
And Allah chose what was humble, despised, and considered unimportant in this world to annul those who are considered important.
وَاصْطَفَى اللهُ مَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ وَضَاعَةٍ وَحَقَارَةٍ وَمِنِ انْعِدَامِ الشَّأْنِ لِيُلْغِيَ بِهِ ذَوِي الشَّأْنِ،
29
Thus no one can boast before Allah.
حَتَّى لَا يَفْتَخِرَ أَحَدٌ أَمَامَ اللهِ.
30
Allah made you belong to Al-Masih Isa, who became wisdom, righteousness, purity, and ransom for us from Allah.
إِنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَكُمْ تَنْتَمُونَ إِلَى الْمَسِيحِ عِيسَى الَّذِي أَصْبَحَ لَنَا حِكْمَةً وَصَلَاحًا وَطَهَارَةً وَفِدَاءً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ،
