1 Khawrin 2
1 Manuca rhoek, kai khaw nangmih taengla ka pawk vaengah Pathen kah olhuep te nangmih ham cueihnah neh olka kah a dudapnah neh doek ham ka pawk moenih.
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
2 A tai taengtae Jesuh Khrih kawng mueh atah pakhat khaw nangmih te ming sak ham ka cai pawh.
For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 Kai tah a vawtthoek la, rhihnah neh thuennah neh nangmih taengah muep ka om.
When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
4 Te phoeiah kai kah olka neh kai kah olhoe tah hlangyoek dongkah cueihnah ol moenih. Tedae, Mueihla neh thaomnah dongkah phoepueinah ni.
My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 Te daengah ni nangmih kah tangnah loh hlang kah cueihnah dongah pawt tih Pathen kah thaomnah dongah a om eh.
that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.
6 Cueihnah he lungcuei rhoek taengah ka thui uh. Tedae cueihnah he ta kumhal kah voel moenih, ta kumhal kah aka mitmoeng boei rhoek kah moenih. (aiōn g165)
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)
7 Tedae olhuep khuiah a thuh Pathen kah cueihnah ni ka thui uh. Te tah khosuen hlanah ni Pathen loh mamih kah thangpomnah ham a nuen coeng. (aiōn g165)
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)
8 Te te ta kumhal kah boei rhoek khuiah a ming moenih. Ming uh koinih thangpomnah Boeipa te tai uh pawt suidae. (aiōn g165)
which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
9 Tedae a daek vanbangla, te te mik loh hmu pawt tih hna loh a yaak moenih. Hlang thinko ah khaw cuen pawh. Te te Pathen loh a lungnah rhoek ham ni a hmoel pah.
But as it is written, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
10 Tedae Pathen tah Mueihla neh mamih ham pumphoe. Mueihla loh a cungkuem neh Pathen kah dangcing dangvoei khaw a khe.
But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 Hlang kah koe te amah khuikah hlang mueihla mueh atah hlang khuikah te u long a ming. Pathen kah koe khaw Pathen Mueihla mueh atah a ming van moenih.
For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Tedae mamih tah Diklai kah mueihla pawt tih Pathen taeng lamkah mueihla te n'dang uh. Te daengah ni Pathen lamloh mamih khodawk han ngai te m'ming eh.
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
13 Te khaw hlanghing kah a thuituen la cueihnah olka nen pawt tih mueihla te mueihla neh aka thuidoek mueihla kah a thuituen nen ni ka thui uh.
And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
14 Tedae hlang tah a calairhui loh Pathen kah Mueihla te doe pawh. Te te amih ham angnah la om. Caivael la a boelh uh dongah a ming ham khaw coeng pawh.
Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 Mueihla hlang long tah a cungkuem te a boelh dae anih te boelh uh pawh.
But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
16 Te dongah u long Boeipa kah lungbuei te a ming? U long anih te a cului eh? Tedae mamih tah Khrih lungbuei ni n'khueh uh.
For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
