1 Khawrin 3

1 Manuca rhoek, kai tah nangmih te mueihla hlang bangla ka thui ham a coeng moenih. Tedae pumsa hlang, Khrih ah cahmang rhoek bangla kam voek.

And I, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.

2 Nangmih te suktui ni kan tul. Na coeng uh hlan dongah buhhap kan cah moenih. Tahae due khaw na coeng uh moenih.

I have given you milk to drink, not meat, for ye have not yet been able, nor indeed are ye yet able;

3 Pumsa la na khuiah thatlainah, tohhaemnah dongah na om uh pueng. Pumsa la na om uh tih hlang dongah na pongpa uh pawt nim?

for ye are yet carnal. For whereas [there are] among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

4 Pakhat loh, “Kai tah Paul kah ni, a tloe long khaw, “Kai tah Apollos kah,” tila na thui vaengah hlang la na om uh mahnim?

For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are ye not men?

5 Te dongah Apollos tah metlam a om? Paul tah metlam a om? Boeipa loh a paek vanbangla te rhoek lamlong ni tueihyoeih rhoek te rhip na tangnah uh.

Who then is Apollos, and who Paul? Ministering servants, through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each.

6 Kai loh ka phung tih Apollos loh a suep dae Pathen long ni a. rhoeng sak.

I have planted; Apollos watered; but God has given the increase.

7 Te dongah aka phung te a tloe moenih, aka suep tah a tloe la a om moenih. Tedae te tah Pathen long ni a rhoeng sak.

So that neither the planter is anything, nor the waterer; but God the giver of the increase.

8 Aka phung neh aka suep tah pakhat la a om dongah a thakthaenah bangla a thapang rhip a dang ni.

But the planter and the waterer are one; but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 Pathen lohmuen ah Pathen kah bibipuei la ka om uh tih Pathen kah a imsak la na om uh.

For we are God's fellow-workmen; ye are God's husbandry, God's building.

10 Pathen kah lungvatnah kai m'paek lamloh aka cueih imsakung bangla khoengim ka tloeng. A tloe loh a tlingtlawn thil dae metla a tlingtlawn khaw rhip hmu nawn saeh.

According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.

11 Khoengim aka sut Jesuh Khrih amah a om phoeiah a tloe loh sut ham a coeng moenih.

For other foundation can no man lay besides that which [is] laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Tedae khat khat loh khoengim te sui, ngun, lungthen, thing, khopol, cangkong, dongah a sak atah,

Now if any one build upon [this] foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,

13 khat rhip kah khoboe tah mingpha la om vetih a khohnin loh a thuicaih bitni. Hmai te a pumphoe pah coeng dongah khat rhip kah khoboe te metla a om khaw hmai mah loh a nuemnai bitni.

the work of each shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare [it], because it is revealed in fire; and the fire shall try the work of each what it is.

14 Pakhat kah a khueng te a bitat a kuei atah thapang a dang ni.

If the work of any one which he has built upon [the foundation] shall abide, he shall receive a reward.

15 Pakhat kah a bisai te a tlum atah sungdaeh ni. Tedae amah ngawntah hmai lamloh a loeih vanbangla a khang van ni.

If the work of any one shall be consumed, he shall suffer loss, but he shall be saved, but so as through [the] fire.

16 Pathen kah bawkim la na om uh tih Pathen Mueihla loh nangmih khuiah a kol te na ming uh moenih a?

Do ye not know that ye are [the] temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 Pakhat long ni Pathen kah bawkim te a poeih atah anih te Pathen loh a poeih ni. Pathen kah bawkim tah cim ta. Te tah nangmih ni.

If any one corrupt the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye.

18 Pakhat khaw amah neh amah hoilae uh boel saeh. Nangmih khuikah khat khat loh ta kumhal ah hlang cueih la om ham a poek atah hlang ang la om dae saeh. Te daengah ni hlang cueih la a om eh. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise. (aiōn g165)

19 Diklai cueihnah tah Pathen taengah angnah la om. A daek tangtae dongah, aka cueih rhoek te amih kah rhaithinah neh a khum.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written, He who takes the wise in their craftiness.

20 Te phoeiah aka cueih rhoek kah poeknah he a honghi la a coeng te Boeipa loh koep a ming.

And again, [The] Lord knows the reasonings of the wise that they are vain.

21 A cungluem he nangmih ham a om coeng dongah hlang dongah tah pomsang tangloeng boel saeh.

So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.

22 Paul khaw, Apollos khaw, Kephas khaw, Diklai khaw, hingnah khaw, dueknah khaw, aka pai nawn khaw, hmailong khaw, nangmih kah boeih ni.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or [the] world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours;

23 Nangmih khaw Khrih kah tih Khrih khaw Pathen kah ni.

and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's.
