1 Kawrin 2

1 Ka hmaunawnghanaw, nangmouh koe Cathut e lawkpanuesaknae kadung kakaw pâpho han ka tho nah kathoumthainaw ni a hno awh e lawk ka hno a hoeh.

So when I came to you, brothers, I did not come proclaiming God's testimony to you with a ‘superior’ speech or wisdom.

2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, thingpalam dawk kadout e, Jisuh Khrih hoi thingpalam kong laipalah teh, banghai panue sak hane na ngaikhai awh hoeh.

For I determined to ‘know’ nothing while among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

3 Nangmouh hoi rei ka o nah, ka thayoun teh lungpuen taki hoi doeh ka o.

Also, I was with you in weakness, in fear, and with much trembling.

4 Ka lawk dei e hoi lawk ka pâpho e hai tami thoumthainae hoi nahoeh, Muitha hnotithainae bahu lahoi doeh.

Yes, my message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

5 Nangmae na yuemnae teh taminaw e lungangnae dawk awm laipalah Cathut e bahu dawk o nahane doeh.

so that your faith not be in men's wisdom, but in God's power.

6 Hatei, a lungkahanaw koe lungangnae lawk ka dei. Hottelah ka ti navah talai lungangnae nahoeh. Kahmat hane talai ka ukkungnaw e lungangnae nahoeh. (aiōn g165)

However, we do speak wisdom among the mature, albeit not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are being set aside; (aiōn g165)

7 Het talai ao hoehnahlan, maimae bawilennae lah ao nahan, Cathut ni a sak tangcoung e lungangnae hrolawk, Cathut e lungangnae doeh kaimouh ni ka pâpho awh. (aiōn g165)

but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom that God ordained before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)

8 Hote lungangnae hah talai ukkungnaw buet touh ni boehai panuek awh hoeh. Panuek awh pawiteh ka Bawilen poung e Bawipa thingpalam dawk thet a mahoeh ei. (aiōn g165)

that none of the rulers of this age have understood (because if they had understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of the glory). (aiōn g165)

9 Cakathoung dawk thut e patetlah, mit ni a hmu boihoeh, hnâ hoi thai boihoeh e, lung ni hai a pouk boihoeh e hah Cathut ni a lungpataw e naw hanlah sut a rakueng pouh toe.

However, as it is written: “Things no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and no heart of man has imagined, such things has God prepared for those who love Him.”

10 Cathut ni maimouh koe hote hno hah Muitha lahoi a pâpho toe. Muitha ni hro e hnonaw koehoi hnocawngca pueng pheng a pâphue.

But to us God has revealed them by His Spirit; because the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

11 Tami hoi kâkuen e naw hah, tami thungvah kaawm e muitha laipalah apinimouh a panue han. Hot patetvanlah Cathut hoi kâkuen e hnonaw hah, Cathut e Muitha hloilah apinihai panuek thai hoeh.

Now who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

12 Maimouh teh talaivan e muitha coe awh hoeh. Cathut ni ayawmlah na poe e hno panue thai nahan Cathut koehoi e Muitha doeh coe awh.

We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God;

13 Cathut ni na poe e naw ka pâpho awh navah, tami lungangnae ni cangkhai e lahoi nahoeh. Kathoung Muitha ni na cangkhai e lawk lahoi doeh ka pâpho awh.

which things we also expound, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to spiritual people.

14 Muitha ka tawn hoeh e ni teh Cathut e Muitha koehoi ka tho e hnonaw panuek thai hoeh. Ahni hane lateh hot naw hah pathunae lah ao. Muitha koelae hno lah ao dawkvah kapekkaboe thai hoeh.

Now a soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; indeed, he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 Muitha tami ni teh hote hnonaw pueng a kapek teh panue thai. Hateiteh hote tami teh apinihai panuek thai hoeh.

But he who is spiritual evaluates everything, while not being himself subject to anyone's judgment.

16 Apimaw Cathut lung pouknae ka panuek ni teh Cathut hah ka cangkhai han vaw. Maimouh teh Khrih e lungthin tawn awh.

For “who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
