< 1 Corinthians 2 >
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of YHWH.
Manuca rhoek, kai khaw nangmih taengla ka pawk vaengah Pathen kah olhuep te nangmih ham cueihnah neh olka kah a dudapnah neh doek ham ka pawk moenih.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Yahushua the Messiah, and him crucified.
A tai taengtae Jesuh Khrih kawng mueh atah pakhat khaw nangmih te ming sak ham ka cai pawh.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
Kai tah a vawtthoek la, rhihnah neh thuennah neh nangmih taengah muep ka om.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Te phoeiah kai kah olka neh kai kah olhoe tah hlangyoek dongkah cueihnah ol moenih. Tedae, Mueihla neh thaomnah dongkah phoepueinah ni.
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of YHWH.
Te daengah ni nangmih kah tangnah loh hlang kah cueihnah dongah pawt tih Pathen kah thaomnah dongah a om eh.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (aiōn )
Cueihnah he lungcuei rhoek taengah ka thui uh. Tedae cueihnah he ta kumhal kah voel moenih, ta kumhal kah aka mitmoeng boei rhoek kah moenih. (aiōn )
7 But we speak the wisdom of YHWH in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which YHWH ordained before the world unto our glory: (aiōn )
Tedae olhuep khuiah a thuh Pathen kah cueihnah ni ka thui uh. Te tah khosuen hlanah ni Pathen loh mamih kah thangpomnah ham a nuen coeng. (aiōn )
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the King of glory. (aiōn )
Te te ta kumhal kah boei rhoek khuiah a ming moenih. Ming uh koinih thangpomnah Boeipa te tai uh pawt suidae. (aiōn )
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Elohim hath prepared for them that love him.
Tedae a daek vanbangla, te te mik loh hmu pawt tih hna loh a yaak moenih. Hlang thinko ah khaw cuen pawh. Te te Pathen loh a lungnah rhoek ham ni a hmoel pah.
10 But YHWH hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of YHWH.
Tedae Pathen tah Mueihla neh mamih ham pumphoe. Mueihla loh a cungkuem neh Pathen kah dangcing dangvoei khaw a khe.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of Elohim knoweth no man, but the Spirit of Elohim.
Hlang kah koe te amah khuikah hlang mueihla mueh atah hlang khuikah te u long a ming. Pathen kah koe khaw Pathen Mueihla mueh atah a ming van moenih.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of Elohim; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of YHWH.
Tedae mamih tah Diklai kah mueihla pawt tih Pathen taeng lamkah mueihla te n'dang uh. Te daengah ni Pathen lamloh mamih khodawk han ngai te m'ming eh.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Te khaw hlanghing kah a thuituen la cueihnah olka nen pawt tih mueihla te mueihla neh aka thuidoek mueihla kah a thuituen nen ni ka thui uh.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of YHWH: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Tedae hlang tah a calairhui loh Pathen kah Mueihla te doe pawh. Te te amih ham angnah la om. Caivael la a boelh uh dongah a ming ham khaw coeng pawh.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Mueihla hlang long tah a cungkuem te a boelh dae anih te boelh uh pawh.
16 For who hath known the mind of YHWH, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of the Messiah.
Te dongah u long Boeipa kah lungbuei te a ming? U long anih te a cului eh? Tedae mamih tah Khrih lungbuei ni n'khueh uh.
