1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak a hi tu in a kisam keima Paul le ka suapui pa Sosthenes in,
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
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:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ kung pan in hesuakna le thinnopna sia note tung ah hong om tahen.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Jesus Christ tungtawn in note tung ah hongpiak Pathian i thuthiamna atu in, note tang in ka Pathian ka pok hi;
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Tabang in na kampauna theampo uh le na heakna uh theampo, na theampo ah Ama in hong hausak zo hi;
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Christ i tettipan na zong note sung ah hong kipsak zo hi:
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Tabang in i Topa Jesus Christ hongpai tu na ngak uh kawm in letsong khat zong na kisam bua uh hi:
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
A Tapa i Topa Jesus Christ taw ki pawlkhopna nei tu in note hongsam Pathian sia a thuman Pathian a hihi.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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.
11 For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.
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.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
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.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
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?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Note sung ah Crispus le Gaius simngawl kuama tuiphum ngawl ka hikom in Pathian tung ka lungdam hi;
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Tua ahikom, Paul in ama min taw tuiphumna pia hi, kuama in ci thei ngawl tu hi.
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
Taciang Stephen te innkuan zong keima in tui ka phum hi: tua te simngawl a dang tui ka phum ka he bua hi.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.
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.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
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.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
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.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age (aiōn g165)? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
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)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
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.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Banghangziam cile Judah mite in musakna ngen uh hi, taciang Greek mite in pilna zong uh hi:
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
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;
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
Ahihanng a kisam Judah mite le Greek mite atu in Christ sia Pathian vangletna le pilna a hihi.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
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.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
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:
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
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;
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that do not exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
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:
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Tabang in Pathian mai ah kuama ki suangtak ngawl tu hi.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
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:
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Tabang in, a ki at sa bangma in, a ki suangtak te sia Topa sung ah ki suangtak tahen.
