1 Korin 1

1 Khawsa a ngaihnaak amyihna Jesu Khrih a ceityih na ak awm Paul ingkaw ni koeinaa Sosthenas ing,

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes a brother,

2 Korin khaw awh ak awm Khawsa a thlangboel ingkaw, Jesu Khrih awh ciimcaih sak na awm nawh ak ciimcaih na awm aham ak khy thlangkhqi, hun hoei awh a mingmih ingkaw ningnih a Boei – ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang ming ak khy thlangkhqi boeih a venawh:

To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.

3 Pa Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa Jesu Khrih a ven awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihdingnaak awm seh.

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Jesu Khrih ak caming nangmih a venawh a ni peek khqi am qeennaak awh nangmih aham Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa nyng.

I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,

5 Amah awh ce nangmih taw ik-oeih soepkep awh boei uhyk ti – awi kqawnnaak boeih ingkaw cyihnaak soepkep awh –

That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 kaimih ing Khrih akawng ka mik kqawn law ce nangmih awh ce cak hawh hy.

As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

7 Cedawngawh nangmih ing ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang dangnaak nyn ce naming lamtoen awh myihla zoepeek kutdo ik-oeih voet hlauhnaak qoe qoe am ta voel uhyk ti.

So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 Ningmih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih a kawnyn awh nangmih taw coet ak kap na am nami awmnaak aham, amah ing a dyt dyna thaawmnaak ni pek khqi bit kaw.

Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Khawsa capa, ni Bawipa Jesu Khrih khawsaknaak haih a nik khy khqi taw ypawm hy.

God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih anglakawh phekbonaak ama awmnaak aham pynoet ingkaw pynoet kawpoek kutoet na ta unawh kawlung pynoet poeknaak pynoet ing nami cuui aham ni Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang ming ing qeennaak ni thoeh lawk khqi nyng.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

11 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih anglakawh oelh qunaak awm hy, tinawh Khalo ipkhui khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi ing kqawn law uhy.

For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Kak kqawn ngaihnaak taw veni: Nangmih anglakawh thlangvang ing, “Kai taw Paul a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti, thlangvang bai ing, “Kai taw Apollo a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti, ak chang khqi bai ing, “Kai taw Cepha a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti, a chang bai ing, “Kai taw Khrih a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Khrih ve phek ang bo qunawh nu? Paul aw nangmih aham thinglam awh a mi tai? Paul ang ming awh aw baptisma nami huh?

Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Krispa ingkaw Gaia doeng am taw u awm baptisma am ka ni peek khqi a dawngawh zeel nyng.

I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;

15 Cedawngawh kai ang ming awh baptisma ak hu u awm am awm hy.

Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

16 (Oeih, Stefen ipkhui khaw ce baptisma pe bai nyng; cekcoengawh, thlak chang baptisma ka peek ak awm hy voei nu, am sim nyng.)

And I baptized also the household of Stephanus; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 Ikawtih Khrih ing baptisma peek aham amni tyi hy, awithang leek ak khypyi aham ni a ni tyih – thlanghqing a cyihnaak awi ing amni, cawh mantaw Khrih thinglam sai thainaak ce a hqawng na awm hawh kaw.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

18 Thinglam awithang taw ak qeeng huikhqi aham qawnaak na awm nawh, hulna ak awm hui ningnihkhqi aham taw Khawsa thaawmnaak na awm hy.

For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

19 “Thlakcyikhqi a cyihnaak ce hqe kawng nyng saw; kawpoek ak cyikhqi ak poeknaak ce hoet kawng nyng,” tinawh qee hyt awm hawh hy.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the prudence of the prudent I will reject.

20 Thlakcyi hana nu? Cak qeekung hana nu? Ve khawmdek awh ak oelhkung ce hana nu? Khawsa ing khawmdek cyihnaak ce qawnaak tinawh am dang sak nawh nu? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Khawsa a cyihnaak ve khawmdek cyihnaak ing ama pha dawngawh amah ce am sim thai hy, qawnaak awi khypyinaak ak caming ak cangnaak thlangkhqi hul na a awmnaak awh Khawsa taw ak kaw zeel hy.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.

22 Judakhqi ing kawpoek kyi hatnaak ce ngaih uhy, Greekkhqi ing cyihnaak,

For both the Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

23 cehlai ningnih ingtaw Khrih thinglam awi ce nik khypyi uhy: ve ak awi ve Judakhqi ang bahnaak na awm nawh Gentelkhqi a qawnaak na awm hy,

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:

24 cehlai Khawsa ing ak khykhqi aham taw, Juda awm Greek awm, Khrih taw Khawsa ak thaawmnaak na a awm dawngawh, Khawsa a cyihnaak na awm hy.

But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Ikawtih Khawsa a qawnaak taw thlanghqing a cyihnaak anglakawh cyi bet nawh, Khawsa ak tha ama awmnaak taw thlanghqing ak tha awmnaak anglakawh ak tha awm bet hy.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih khy na nami awm awh ikawmyihna nami awm tice poek lah uh. Thlanghqing a huh awhtaw nangmih ak khuiawh thlakcyi khawzah am awm uhyk ti; thlang ak khanawh ak awm khawzah am awm uhyk ti; qypawm ipkhui awh ak awm thlang khawzah am awm bai uhyk ti.

For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:

27 Cehlai thlakcyi chah sak aham Khawsa ing khawmdek awh ak qawkhqi ce tyk nawh; tha ak awmkhqi chah sak aham khawmdek awh tha amak awmkhqi ce tyk hy.

But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.

28 Ve khawmdek awh ak kaina ak awmkhqi ingkaw thlang ing a thenaak khqi – ik-oeih ak awmkhqi ce hqe aham –

And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:

29 u awm a haiawh amang oek qu aham amak awm ik-oeihkhqi ce tyk hy.

That no flesh should glory in his sight.

30 Anih ak caming nangmih taw Jesu Khrih ak khuiawh awm uhyk ti, anih ce ningnih aham Khawsa ven awhkaw cyihnaak na awm hy – cetaw ningnih aham dyngnaak, ciimnaak ingkaw hulnaak na awm hy.

But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 Cedawngawh, U awm ak oek qu ingtaw Bawipa awh oek qu seh,” tinawh a qee awm hawh hy.

That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
