1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,
Pamhnama hlüeia khü Jesuh Khritawa ngsä, kei Pawluh jah ka na Soten naw,
2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs 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 [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa, Pamhnam jah Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa veia ka bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak nami khana ve se.
4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh Pamhnama bäkhäknak aning jah peta phäha Pamhnama veia aläa jenak ka mthehki.
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
Khritaw üng yümmat lü ngthu pyennak jah ksingnak üng, amät üng bawimang u lü, nami vea phäha kyaki.
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
Acukba Khritaw a ngthu ka ning jah ksingsak nangmi üng khäng lü veki cän ni;
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
A dawkyanak yah lü, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa a ngdannak law vai k'äihei ua.
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in 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 [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mi Bawipa kyakia, a Capa Jesuh Khritaw am yümat khaia jah khüikia Pamhnam cun ümnak vai ni.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Ka püie aw, nami ngcungkaih veki tia mawng cun Kalokuha khui im kyawng lawng naw na mthehkie ni.
12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of 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? or were ye baptized in 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 baptized none of you, but 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 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
Am aniüng, khyang naw, keia ngming am baptican nami ngkhamkia ngai khaie ni.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
Stephena kyawnglawng ta baptican ka jah ngkhamsakki; acuna thea khyang kce baptican ka ja khamsak u am ksing veng.
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
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 preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are 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, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
“Khyang kthema ksingkhyapnak mkhyüh lü, ksinghmatnak pi ka kpyak khai” tia cangcim naw pyenki.
20 Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this 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 after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that 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 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
Judahe naw, müncannak kthäh u lü Krike naw kthemnak suikie,
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
keimie naw ta Khritaw kutlamtung üng taiha mawng kami pyenki, acun cun Judahea phäha kyukngtängnak kya lü, Khyangmjü kceea phäha angnaka kyaki.
24 But unto them which 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 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Pamhnama angnak cun nghngicima ksingnaka kthaka kyäp bawki, Pamhnama am kyannak mäi cän pi nghngicima kyannaka kthaka kyäp bawki ni.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
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 hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
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 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
Acunüng, kyäpkie ia am ngtäh khaiea khawmdek üng aksee jah hmuhmsitkie, am ngtähkie Pamhnam naw jah khüki.
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama hmaia u am awcah thei.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, 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 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Acunakyase, “Awhcahki naküt naw Bawipa awhcah na se” Cangcim naw tiki.
