1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Pamhnama hlüeia khü Jesuh Khritawa ngsä, kei Pawluh jah ka na Soten naw,
2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
Korintuh mlüha vekia Pamhnama sangcime, Khritaw Jesuh üng khyang ngcima kya khaie a jah khüe, hnün naküt üng mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw mküimtokie naküta veia;
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa, Pamhnam jah Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa veia ka bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak nami khana ve se.
4 I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.
Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh Pamhnama bäkhäknak aning jah peta phäha Pamhnama veia aläa jenak ka mthehki.
5 For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,
Khritaw üng yümmat lü ngthu pyennak jah ksingnak üng, amät üng bawimang u lü, nami vea phäha kyaki.
6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
Acukba Khritaw a ngthu ka ning jah ksingsak nangmi üng khäng lü veki cän ni;
7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
A dawkyanak yah lü, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa a ngdannak law vai k'äihei ua.
8 He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw a Khaw mhnüp a pha law üng, apäihnak veia ning jah khängsak lü nami mkhye am ve.
9 God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
Mi Bawipa kyakia, a Capa Jesuh Khritaw am yümat khaia jah khüikia Pamhnam cun ümnak vai ni.
10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.
Ka püie aw, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa ana sumei lü avan ning jah nghüinak ta nami pyen üng ä ti yüm lü nami ksunga ngtainak am ve. Cungaihnak ja ti tängnak üng yüm mat ua.
11 My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
Ka püie aw, nami ngcungkaih veki tia mawng cun Kalokuha khui im kyawng lawng naw na mthehkie ni.
12 What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
Ahinni ka pyen cun, khyang naküt naw, “Kei Pawluha hnu kläk ni” “Kei Apawluha hnu kläk ni” “Kei Kiphaha hnu kläk ni” “Kei Khritawa hnu kläk ni” nami tiki.
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Khritaw cun ngkhawipaki aw? Pawluh nami phäha kutlamktung üng thiki aw? Am ani üng, Pawluha ngming am baptican nami ngkhamki aw?
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Pamhnam je na veng isetiakyaküng Kripuh ja Kajas däk ni baptican ka jah pet, nangmi üng u pi baptican am pe veng.
15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
Am aniüng, khyang naw, keia ngming am baptican nami ngkhamkia ngai khaie ni.
16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.
Stephena kyawnglawng ta baptican ka jah ngkhamsakki; acuna thea khyang kce baptican ka ja khamsak u am ksing veng.
17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Khritaw naw baptican ka jah khamsak khaia am na tüih law. Thangkdaw pyen üng ksingkhyapnak am sumei hin Khritawa kutlamtunga johit käh a khyüh vaia ni.
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Kutlamtunga mawng cun khyükie phäha ta amdang ni; mimi küikyannak yakiea phäha ta Pamhnama khyaihnak ni.
19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
“Khyang kthema ksingkhyapnak mkhyüh lü, ksinghmatnak pi ka kpyak khai” tia cangcim naw pyenki.
20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
Khyang kthem cun hawa ni? Thum ksingki cun hawa ni? Hina khawmdek khana ngcungkaih khyaihki cun hawa ni? Pamhnam naw khawmdeka kthemnak cun angnak ni tia, mdan pängki ni. (aiōn g165)
21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
Khawmdek khyanga ksingnak üng Pamhnam cun ksing lü am ng’yah. Ak’anga ngthukhyü ami ti cun pyen lü jum ti cun Pamhnam naw küikyan ve.
22 Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,
Judahe naw, müncannak kthäh u lü Krike naw kthemnak suikie,
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
keimie naw ta Khritaw kutlamtung üng taiha mawng kami pyenki, acun cun Judahea phäha kyukngtängnak kya lü, Khyangmjü kceea phäha angnaka kyaki.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Acunsepi, Judahea pi kyase, Krikea pi kyase, Pamhnama khüea phäha ta Khritawa ngthu cun Pamhnama khyaihnak ja Pamhnama ksingnaka kyaki ni.
25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
Pamhnama angnak cun nghngicima ksingnaka kthaka kyäp bawki, Pamhnama am kyannak mäi cän pi nghngicima kyannaka kthaka kyäp bawki ni.
26 Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.
Ka püie aw, a ning jah khünak cän ngai süm ua, pumsa lama khyang kthem khawhah, khyang kyan khawhah, khyang kdaw khawhah am jah khü ve.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw khyang ktheme a jah hmaisetsak vaia, khawmdek üng angkie jah khüki, ktha mahkie a jah hmaisetsak vaia, khawmdek üng ktha ngcekie ja khüki.
28 He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
Acunüng, kyäpkie ia am ngtäh khaiea khawmdek üng aksee jah hmuhmsitkie, am ngtähkie Pamhnam naw jah khüki.
29 so that no one may boast in His presence.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama hmaia u am awcah thei.
30 It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
Nangmi ta, amäta phäha, Khritaw Jesuh üng nami vekie ni, pamhnam naw Khritaw cun mi hama themnaka a pawh ni, ani am mimi cun Pamhnam üng ngsungpyunkia a jah pawh, acuna phäh Pamhnama khyang ngcima mi kya lü mi lätki.
31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
Acunakyase, “Awhcahki naküt naw Bawipa awhcah na se” Cangcim naw tiki.
