1 Corinth 1

1 Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak a hi tu in a kisam keima Paul le ka suapui pa Sosthenes in,

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,

2 Christ Jesus in thiangthosak a, mithiangtho te ci a ki sam, Corinth a om Pathian pawlpi le mun tatuam a i Topa Jesus Christ min a sam theampo tung ah:

to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, to called men, to holy men who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus with all in every place who call upon the name of our the Lord Jesus Christ-both ours and theirs.

3 I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ kung pan in hesuakna le thinnopna sia note tung ah hong om tahen.

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

4 Jesus Christ tungtawn in note tung ah hongpiak Pathian i thuthiamna atu in, note tang in ka Pathian ka pok hi;

I thank my God always about you, for the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,

5 Tabang in na kampauna theampo uh le na heakna uh theampo, na theampo ah Ama in hong hausak zo hi;

that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all speech and in all knowledge.

6 Christ i tettipan na zong note sung ah hong kipsak zo hi:

Just as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

7 Tabang in i Topa Jesus Christ hongpai tu na ngak uh kawm in letsong khat zong na kisam bua uh hi:

so that ye come behind in not one gift, waiting for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8 Tabang in i Topa Jesus Christ ni ciang paubang ngawl na hi thei natu uh in, Ama in a tawp dong hong kipsak tu hi.

who will also confirm you until the end, irreproachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 A Tapa i Topa Jesus Christ taw ki pawlkhopna nei tu in note hongsam Pathian sia a thuman Pathian a hihi.

God is faithful through whom ye were called for the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Tu in suapui te awng, na vekpi in na kampau na uh kibang tek in, ki khenna om ngawl, a picing thu kisikna taw ki pawlkhawm tu le thukhenna kibang tek hi tu in, i Topa Jesus Christ min taw kong thum hi.

Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but ye may be thoroughly prepared in the same mind and in the same understanding.

11 Banghangziam cile ka suapui te awng, note sung ah kihauna om hi, ci in Chloe te innkuan tung pan in kei tung ah note i thu hong ki pualak zo hi.

For it was declared to me about you, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Tu in hi thu kong son hi, noma sung ah khatsim in, keima sia Paul i pawl khi hi; taciang kei sia Apollos i pawl ka hihi; taciang kei sia Peter i pawl ka hihi; taciang kei sia Christ i pawl ka hihi, na ci uh hi.

Now I say this. That each of you actually say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

13 Christ sia ki khen ziam? Paul sia note atu in thinglamte tung ah a ki khai ziam? a hibale, Paul min taw tui na ki phum uh ziam?

Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul?

14 Note sung ah Crispus le Gaius simngawl kuama tuiphum ngawl ka hikom in Pathian tung ka lungdam hi;

I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Tua ahikom, Paul in ama min taw tuiphumna pia hi, kuama in ci thei ngawl tu hi.

lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.

16 Taciang Stephen te innkuan zong keima in tui ka phum hi: tua te simngawl a dang tui ka phum ka he bua hi.

And I also immersed the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I immersed any other.

17 Banghangziam cile Christ in tuiphumna pia tu in hong sawl ngawl a, lungdamna thupha hil tu in hong sawl hi: tua thu sia ciimna kammal te taw hil tu hi ngawl hi, tabang hile Christ thinglamte sia vang nei ngawl suak tu hi.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied.

18 Banghangziam cile thinglamte thuhil na sia a mangthang te atu in mawmawt na a hihi; ahihang ngupna a sang te a tu in Pathian i vangletna a hihi.

For the message of the cross is of course foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God.

19 Banghangziam cile, a ciim te i ciimna ka susia tu a, mipil te i telthiam na zong a mannung ngawl ka suaksak tu hi, ci in ki at hi.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding.

20 Mihing ciim koisung ah om ziam? Thukhamhil te koisung ah om ziam? hi leitung ah thu nial te e koisung ah om zia? Pathian in hi leitung pilna sia mawmawtna suaksak zo hi ngawl ziam? (aiōn g165)

Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Banghangziam cile leitung mite in pilna taw Pathian a heak ngawl zawk ciang, Pathian i pilna sung ah mawmawtna thu pualakna a um te ngum tu in Pathian a lungkim hi.

For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

22 Banghangziam cile Judah mite in musakna ngen uh hi, taciang Greek mite in pilna zong uh hi:

And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom,

23 Ahihang kote in thinglamte tung ah a ki khai Christ thu ka hil uh hi, tua thu sia Judah mite atu in lutu na a hihi, taciang Greek mite atu in mawmawtna a hihi;

but we proclaim Christ crucified, it is truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness.

24 Ahihanng a kisam Judah mite le Greek mite atu in Christ sia Pathian vangletna le pilna a hihi.

But to them, to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Banghangziam cile Pathian i mawmawtna sia mihing te sang in ciim zaw hi; taciang Pathian i thaneamna sia mihing te sang in hat zaw hi.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.

26 Banghangziam cile suapui te awng, nang hong kisapna thu en vun, cilesa lam pan in mipil tampi, a vanglian le ulian thupi tampi na om bua uh hi:

For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent.

27 Ahihang Pathian in mipil te maizumsak tu in leitung taw kisai in a mawmaw te teal hi; taciang Pathian in a thahat te maizumsak tu leitung taw kisai in a thaneam te teal hi;

But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful.

28 A omsa nate a mannung ngawl a suaksak tu in, leitung na mannung ngawl, bangma a ki simngawl nate le a om ngawl lai nate dong in Pathian in teal hi:

And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are,

29 Tabang in Pathian mai ah kuama ki suangtak ngawl tu hi.

so that no flesh may boast before God.

30 Ahihang note Ama tungtawn in Christ Jesus sung ah na om uh hi, Ama sia Pathian in eite atu in pilna, thutang suana, thianthosakna le tatna in hong vawtsak hi:

But ye are his, in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Tabang in, a ki at sa bangma in, a ki suangtak te sia Topa sung ah ki suangtak tahen.

so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.
