17 ¶ Epitou, Kris la pa t' voye m' batize moun. Li te voye m' anonse Bon Nouvèl la, epi se pou m' anonse l' san m' pa bezwen sèvi ak bèl diskou bon konprann lèzòm, pou m' pa fè lanmò Kris la sou kwa a pase pou anyen.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,(A) but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom(B) and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

  1. 1 Corinthians 1:19 Isaiah 29:14

21 Se sak fè, moun k'ap viv dapre lide ki nan lemonn lan, avèk tout bon konprann yo, yo pa kapab rekonèt Bondye kote Bondye ap fè wè bon konprann li. Se poutèt sa, Bondye deside delivre tout moun ki kwè nan pawòl moun fou n'ap anonse a.

21 For since in the wisdom of God the world(A) through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save(B) those who believe.(C)

¶ Frè m' yo, lè mwen te al lakay nou, se pa t' avèk gwo diskou ni bèl pawòl mwen te fè nou konnen plan travay Bondye ki te kache a.

Mwen te mete nan tèt mwen pou m' te bliye tout bagay sa yo. Yon sèl bagay mwen te konnen tout tan mwen te la ansanm ak nou an, se Jezikri, epi sèlman Jezikri yo te kloure sou kwa a.

Mwen vin kanpe tou fèb devan nou. Lè sa a, mwen t'ap tranble nan tout kò m' sitèlman mwen te pè.

Lè m' te fè nou konnen tout bagay sa yo, lè m' te anonse nou nouvèl la, se pa t' avèk bèl pawòl bon konprann lèzòm mwen t'ap chache pran tèt nou. Men, se te avèk pouvwa Lespri Bondye a ki t'ap bay tout prèv pou fè nou kwè.

Konsa, konfyans nou gen nan Bondye a pa chita sou bon konprann lèzòm, men sou pouvwa Bondye.

And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom(A) as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.(B) I came to you(C) in weakness(D) with great fear and trembling.(E) My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,(F) but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,(G) so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.(H)

13 Si n'ap pale sou tout favè Bondye fè nou, se pa avèk pawòl nou jwenn nan bon konprann lèzòm, men se pito avèk pawòl Lespri Bondye ap moutre nou. Se konsa, nou fè moun ki gen Lespri Bondye nan kè yo konprann verite ki soti nan Lespri a.
