1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with superiority of speech or wisdom, proclaiming to you the mystery of God.
Ka püie aw, nami veia law lü, ngthupkia Pamhnama ngthungtak ka ning ja mtheh üng, ngthu mpyawng mahnak ja ksingnak am sumei veng.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Jesuh Khritaw kutlamktung üng taiha ngthua thea nami veia ka, ka ksing vai am ve.
3 When I was with you, I was weak and afraid and I shook.
Nangmia vei ka law üng ktha ngcek lü cäi lü ngkhyet veng.
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
Ka pyen ja ka mtheimthangnak cun nghngicima khyaihnaka ngthu üng pyena am kya lü, Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya ja johit üng ni akya ve.
5 that your faith would not rest on human wisdom, but on the power of God.
Nami jumnak cun Pamhnama johita kya lü nghngicima ksingnaka am kya.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature, but a wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. (aiōn g165)
Jumeinak üng dämduh pängki veia pumngyam mah akba kami ngthukhyüki. Ahina pumngyam cun khawmdek upkiea asäng üng khyük be theikia khawmdek pumngyam am ni. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God determined in advance before the ages for our glory, (aiōn g165)
Khawmdek am a ngtün law ham üngka naw mi hlüngtainak vaia axü päng, acun cun khyang üngka naw ngthupkia Pamhnam pumngyam ni kami sang ta. (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Acun cun hina khawmdek upkie naw am ksing u, ami ksing vai sü ta hlüngtainaka Bawipa kutlamktung üng am ami taih vai sü. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, No eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things which God has prepared for those who love him.
“Mik üng am hmuh, hnga üng am ngjak, nghngicima mlung üng am lutki, Pamhnam naw ani mhläkphyanakiea phäha a pitpyang ni” tia Cangcim naw pyenki.
10 But to us God revealed it through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Mimi cun, acuna ngthu Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya naw jah ksingsaki ni. Ngmüimkhya naw avan naküt cun suihjap lü, Pamhnama ngthupkia nümnak pi ksing theiki.
11 For what person knows the things of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Mi Ngmüimkhya naw ni, mi mäta mawng a ksing. Acuna mäiha Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya naw ni Pamhnama mawng a ksing ta.
12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
Acunakyase, khawmdeka ngmüimkhya am mi yaki. Pamhnama a jah pete mi jah ksingnak thei vaia Pamhnama veia ka, Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya mi yahki.
13 And we speak of these things, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
Cuna kyalü Ngmüimkhya takie, Ngmüimkhya üng sängki kami jah mtheha kba kami khyübe hin khyanga themnak naw a jah mthei am pyen lü Ngmüimkhya a jah mthei khyübe ni kami pyen.
14 Now the natural person does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya üngkhyüh lawki letsawnge cun Ngmüimkhya am taki naw am doei thei. Ngmüimkhya am taki naw acubange cun akcanga am jah ksing lü i ja pi am jah ngai, isetikyaküng amimi cun Ngmüimkhya lam üng jah msuimsäpa kya se ni.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.
Ngmüimkhya khyang cun naw avana ngthumkhyah theiki, acunsepi, ani cun u naw ngthu am mkhya thei.
16 For, "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
U naw, Bawipaa mlung ksingki ni? U naw a dawnak vai mtheh thei khai ni? Mimi cun Khritawa mlung mi taki.
