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, was not 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.

with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now 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 yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk?

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 may say, 'I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another, 'I — of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly?

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 Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

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

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

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 is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth — God;

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

and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, 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 of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are.

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 that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on [it],

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

for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

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

and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, 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.

of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

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

if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a wage he shall receive;

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

if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

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

have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell 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 the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are.

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 doth seem to be wise among you in this age — let him become a fool, that he may become 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 hath been written, 'Who is taking 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 doth know 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 then, let no one glory 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 about to be — all are yours,

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

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