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?
How dare any of you file a lawsuit before pagan judges if you have a dispute with your neighbor! Instead you should bring this before other believers.
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?
Don't you know that Christian believers will judge the world? If you're going to judge the world, are you not fit to judge in the most minor cases?
3 Mamih loh puencawn rhoek pataeng lai n'tloek pa ni tila na ming uh moenih a? Khosak rhamsak tah thui boel saeh a?
Don't you know we are going to judge angels? How much more those things that relate 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?
So if you have to judge things that relate to this life, how can you go to judges that are not respected by 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'm trying to shame you by saying this. What? You can't find one wise person among you who can settle a dispute that you have?
6 Tedae manuca neh manuca loh aka tangnahmueh rhoek hmaiah khaw lai a thui.
Instead one believer takes another believer to court, and places the issue 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.
The very fact you have lawsuits against each other already is a complete disaster. Wouldn't it be better to accept the injustice? Why not let yourselves be defrauded?
8 Tedae nangmih loh manuca taengah na thae uh tih hmui na yoih uh coeng he.
But you would rather cause injustice and defraud even your fellow-believers in church.
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,
Don't you know those who are unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don't be fooled! People who are immoral, worship idols, commit adultery, sexual perverts, homosexuals,
10 hlanghuen rhoek long khaw, halhka khaw, yumi rhoek long khaw, olbaikung rhoek long khaw, kutveet long khaw Pathen kah ram pang mahpawh.
thieves, greedy, drunkards, abusers, or cheats, will not 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.
Some of you were once like that, but you have been made clean and holy. You have been made right 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.
People say, “I'm free to do anything”—but not everything is appropriate! “I'm free to do anything”—but I will not let anything control me! People say,
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.
“Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food”—but God will destroy both of them. Also, the body is not meant to be used for immorality, 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.
By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us up the same way.
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.
Don't you know your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Should I take the parts of Christ's body and join them to a prostitute? Absolutely not!
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.
Don't you realize that anyone who has sex with a prostitute becomes “one body” with her? Remember that Scripture says, “The two will become one body.”
17 Tedae Boeipa neh aka kap uh tah mueihla pakhat la om ta.
But whoever is joined to the Lord is one with him in 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.
Stay away from sexual immorality! All other sins that people commit are outside of the body, but sexual immorality is a sin against your 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.
Don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God?
20 A phu la n'lai uh dongah na pum dongah Pathen te thangpom uh.
You don't belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!
