1 Khawrin 1

1 Pathen kah kongaih rhangneh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih la a khue Paul neh manuca Sosthenes loh,

PAUL, called and sent by Jesus Messiah in the good pleasure of God; and Sosthenes, a brother;

2 Kawrin ah aka om tih Khrih Jesuh ah a ciim, hlangcim la a khue neh hmuen takuem ah mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih ming aka khue Pathen kah hlangboel taengah kan yaak sak. Boeipa tah amih neh mamih kah Boeipa ni.

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the people called and sanctified, who are sanctified in Jesus Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, their and our Lord:

3 A pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taeng lamkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh.

Grace be with you, and peace; from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Messiah.

4 Khrih Jesuh ah nangmih te Pathen kah lungvatnah m'paek dongah nangmih ham khaw ka Pathen te ka uem yoeyah.

I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah;

5 A cungkuem dongah amah lamloh olka cungkuem nen khaw, mingnah cungkuem nen khaw na boei uh.

that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all discourse, and in all knowledge;

6 Khrih kah laipai tah nangmih ah cak pataeng coeng.

even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed among you:

7 Te dongah mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a pumphoenah aka lamtawn nangmih te kutdoe khat khaw na hlavawt uh moenih.

so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah:

8 Nangmih khaw mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah khohnin ah a bawt due amah loh cibit la n'cak sak bitni.

who will confirm you unto the end, so that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

9 Uepom Pathen amah loh a capa Jesuh Khrih, mamih boeipa kah rhoinaengnah khuila ng'khue.

God is faithful; by whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Messiah, our Lord.

10 Manuca rhoek amah la boeih na thui ham te mamih boeipa Jesuh Khrih ming neh nangmih te kan hloep coeng. Te daengah ni nangmih khuiah paekboenah om pawt vetih kodok neh lungbuei khaw amah la, poeknah khaw amah la na om uh eh.

And I beseech you, my Brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, that to you all there may be one language; and that there may be no divisions among you: but that ye may become perfectly of one mind, and of one way of thinking.

11 Ka manuca rhoek, nangmih ah tohhaemnah om tila Khaloe rhoek loh kai taengah nangmih kawng a thuicaih.

For concerning you, my Brethren, it hath been reported to me by the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Te dongah hekah he ka thui. Nangmih ah khat rhip loh, “Kai tah Paul kah ni, Kai tah Apollo kah, Kai tah Kephas kah, kai tah Khrih kah,” na ti uh.

And this I state: That one of you saith, I am of Paul; and another saith, I am of Apollos; and another saith, I am of Cephas; and another saith, I am of Messiah.

13 Khrih loh a paekboe a? Nangmih ham Paul te a tai pawn pawt nim? Paul ming ah khaw na nuem uh a?

Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Krispu neh Kaiyu bueng mueh atah nangmih kan nuem pawt te Pathen ni ka uem.

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

15 Te daengah ni kai ming neh nuem uh tila pakhat long khaw a thui pawt eh.

lest any one should say, that I baptized in my own name.

16 Tahae ah Stephen cako tah ka nuem van tangloeng. Te phoeiah a tloe pakhat khaw ka nuem nim ka ming pawh.

I moreover baptized the household of Stephanas: but further, I know not that I baptized any other.

17 Aka nuem ham pawt tih olthangthen phong ham ni Khrih loh kai n'tueih. Calthai cueihnah nen moenih ta. Te daengah man Khrih kah thinglam tah a tlongtlai pawt ve.

For Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be inefficient.

18 Thinglam olthang tah aka poci rhoek ham angnah la om dae mamih a khang rhoek ham tah Pathen kah thaomnah la om.

For a discourse concerning the cross is, to them who perish, foolishness; but to us who live, it is the energy of God.

19 A daek coeng dongah, aka cueih rhoek kah cueihnah te ka poci sak vetih lungming rhoek kah yakmingnah te ka hnawt ni.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious.

20 Menim aka cueih? Menim cadaek? Ta kumhal kah oelhkung tah menim? Diklai kah cueihnah he Pathen loh a dap sak pawt nim? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Or where is the scribe? Or where is the disputant of this world? Lo, hath not God showed, that the wisdom of this world is folly? (aiōn g165)

21 Pathen kah cueihnah neh ana khueh parhi te Diklai loh Pathen te cueihnah neh ana ming moenih. Pathen long tah olhoe kah angnah lamloh aka tangnah rhoek te khang ham a lungtlun.

For in the wisdom of God, because the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to quicken them who believe.

22 Te dongah Judah rhoek loh miknoek a bih uh tih Greek rhoek loh cueihnah a toem uh.

Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Gentiles demand wisdom.

23 A tai tangtae Khrih kawng he ka hoe uh dae Judah hlangvang ham thangkui neh namtom ham angnah la om.

But we preach Messiah as crucified; which is a stumbling-block to the Jews, and foolishness to the Gentiles;

24 Tedae amih a khue tangtae Judah rhoek ham neh, Greek rhoek ham khaw Khrih he Pathen kah thaomnah neh Pathen kah cueihnah la om.

but to them who are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Messiah is the energy of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Pathen kah ang tah hlang kah a cueih la om tih Pathen kah tattloel tah hlang kah thaomnah lakah a thaom ngai.

Because the foolishness of God, is wiser than men; and the feebleness of God, is stronger than men.

26 Te dongah, manuca rhoek, nangmih n'khuenah te pumsa ah tah muep cueih pawh. Thaom yet pawh, hlangtang khaw yet pawh tila na ming uh.

For look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth.

27 Tedae Diklai kah aka ang rhoek te Pathen loh a tuek daengah man aka cueih rhoek te yah a poh sak ve. Diklai kah tattloel rhoek te a tuek daengah man thaom rhoek te Pathen loh yah a poh sak ve.

But God hath chosen the foolish ones of the world, to shame the wise; and he hath chosen the feeble ones of the world, to shame the mighty;

28 Diklai kah mathoe rhoek neh a hnaelcoe rhoek te Pathen loh a tuek. Aka khueh te hmil hamla aka khueh pawt te a tuek.

and he hath chosen those of humble birth in the world, and the despised, and them who are nothing, to bring to naught them who are something:

29 Te dongah pumsa boeih loh Pathen hmaiah pomsang uh boel saeh.

so that no flesh might, glory before him.

30 Tedae amah lamkah nen ni Khrih Jesuh ah na om uh. Anih tah mamih ham Pathen taengkah cueihnah, duengnah, cimcaihnah neh tlannah lam khaw om.

And ye, moreover, are of him in Jesus Messiah; who hath become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

31 Te dongah a daek vanbangla, aka pomsang long tah Boeipa ah pomsang saeh.

according to that which is written: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
