1 Khawrin 6

1 Nangmih khuikah pakhat loh pakhat taengah dumlai na khueh uh te halang rhoek hmaiah laitloek ham na ngaingaih uh tih hlang cim rhoek hmaiah tah na ngaingaih uh pawh?

Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 Hlangcim rhoek loh Diklai he lai a tloek uh ni tila na ming uh moenih a? Nangmih long khaw Diklai he lai na tloek atah dumlai rhemlem dongah a lolhmaih la na om uh a?

Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Mamih loh puencawn rhoek pataeng lai n'tloek pa ni tila na ming uh moenih a? Khosak rhamsak tah thui boel saeh a?

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

4 Khosak rhamsak kah dumlai te na khueh uh tangloeng atah hlangboel khuikah a hnaelcoe rhoek te ngah na ngol sak uh aya?

If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?

5 Yahpohnah ham ni nangmih taengah ka thui. Nangmih ah om tangloeng pawh. Aka cueih long khaw a manuca laklo ah boelhkhoeh thai pawt nim?

I say [this] to move you to shame. What, cannot there be [found] among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,

6 Tedae manuca neh manuca loh aka tangnahmueh rhoek hmaiah khaw lai a thui.

but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

7 A taktak atah khat neh khat taengah dumlai na khueh uh he pungpung na hloonah la om coeng. Balae tih n'thae uh lah pawh. Balae tih m'hmil uh lah pawh.

Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?

8 Tedae nangmih loh manuca taengah na thae uh tih hmui na yoih uh coeng he.

Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.

9 Halang rhoek loh Pathen kah ram pang mahpawh tila na ming uh moenih a? Nangmih te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh. Hlanghalh rhoek long khaw, mueibawk rhoek long khaw, samphaih rhoek long khaw, himbai hnal long khaw, uicuk long khaw,

Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,

10 hlanghuen rhoek long khaw, halhka khaw, yumi rhoek long khaw, olbaikung rhoek long khaw, kutveet long khaw Pathen kah ram pang mahpawh.

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 Te nen te rhakthuem la na om uh dae n'silh tih n'ciim coeng. Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih ming neh mamih kah Pathen kah mueihla lamlong khaw n'tang sak coeng.

And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

12 A cungkuem he kai taengah m'paek dae boeih a rhoei bal moenih. A cungkuem te kai teangah m'paek dae kai he pakhat long khaw m'buem mahpawh.

All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

13 Caak he bungpuei ham ni. Bungpuei te khaw cakok ham ni. Tedae Pathen loh te rhoi te rhenten a phae ni. Te dongah pumrho te Cukhalnah ham moenih. Boeipa ham ni, Boeipa khaw pum ham ni.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

14 Te dongah Pathen loh Boeipa a thoh vanbangla mamih khaw a thaomnah dongah pacuet uh ni.

and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through his power.

15 Nangmih kah pum tah Khrih kah pumrho ni tila na ming uh moenih a? Te koinih Khrih kah pumrho te loh tih hlanghalh kah pumrho la ka saii aya? Te tlam te om mahpawh.

Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid.

16 Hlanghalh taengla aka kap tah pum khat la om tila na ming uh moenih a? Panit te pumsa khat la om ni a ti coeng ta.

Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh.

17 Tedae Boeipa neh aka kap uh tah mueihla pakhat la om ta.

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18 Cukhalnah te rhaelrham takuh. Hlang loh a saii sarhui tholhsainah boeih te pum dongah pong phoe ta. Tedae aka cukhalh loh amah pum ni a tholh sak.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

19 Nangmih pum tah bawkim ni, na khuikah Cim Mueihla a om te na ming uh mahnim? Te te Pathen taeng lamkah na dang uh dongah namah hut la na om uh moenih.

Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;

20 A phu la n'lai uh dongah na pum dongah Pathen te thangpom uh.

for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
