1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Messiah Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Kai Pawl, Cathut ngainae lahoi Jisuh Khrih e guncei lah kaawm e hoi ka nawngha Sosthenes ni,
2 to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Messiah Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah in every place, both theirs and ours:
maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih min ka kaw e kho tangkuem kaawm e taminaw hoi, tami kathoung lah kaw lah kaawm e Kawrin kho e Khrih Jisuh thung thoungsak lah kaawm e, Cathut e kawhmoun ca na patawn awh. Bawipa teh ama ka kaw e naw puenghoi kaimae Bawipa lah ao.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
Maimae Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koe e lungmanae hoi lungmawngnae teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh.
4 I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Jesus;
Khrih Jisuh lahoi na poe e Cathut e lungmanae dawkvah, nangmouh hanelah ka Cathut koe lunghawilawk pou ka dei.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
Nangmanaw teh hote Khrih lahoi lawk dei thainae, panue thainae, bangpueng dawk na bawi awh toe.
6 even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:
Khrih hoi kâkuen e lawkpanuesaknae teh nangmouh dawk a cak toe.
7 so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah to be revealed;
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh teh Bawipa Jisuh Khrih bout a kamnuenae ngaihawi laihoi ring awh navah, poehno roeroe na toum a mahoeh.
8 who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e hnin dawk nangmouh teh apinihai tounhoehe lah o nahan, Bawipa ni nangmouh teh apout totouh na caksak han.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus (the) Messiah, our Lord.
Ama e Capa, Jisuh Khrih e huikonae thungvah, nangmouh na ka kaw e Cathut teh yuemkamcu lah ao.
10 Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.
Hmaunawnghanaw Bawipa Jisuh Khrih min lahoi pahrennae kahei. Lungthin suetalah awm awh. Kâ kapeknae tawn awh hanh. Pouknae buet touh dawk kâracui awh.
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.
Hmaunawnghanaw Khaloe imthung ni, pou a kâtaran awh a ti.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Messiah."
Nangmouh ni kai teh Pawl e vaica doeh, kai teh Apollos e vaica doeh, kai teh Piter e vaica doeh, Kai teh Khrih e vaica doeh na ti awh.
13 Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
Khrih teh a kâkapek na maw. Pawl na ou nangmouh han thingpalam dawk ka dout. Nahoeh pawiteh Pawl e min dawk na ou baptisma na coe awh.
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
Crispus hoi Gaius hloilah apihai baptisma ka poe hoeh dawk Cathut koe ka lunghawi.
15 so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.
Hatdawkvah kai Pawl e min dawk baptisma ka coe e apihai awmhoeh.
16 (Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)
Stiven imthung baptisma ka poe, alouknaw baptisma ka poe vaimoe ka panuek hoeh.
17 For Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Messiah would not be made void.
Baptisma poe hanlah Khrih ni na patoun hoeh. Kamthang kahawi pâpho hane doeh na patoun. Tami lungang thoumnae dawk nahoeh, telah pawiteh Khrih thingpalam hnosakthainae ayawmyin han doeh.
18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, thingpalam kamthang kahawi heh kahmat naw hanelah teh pathunae lah doeh ao, rungngang lah kaawm e maimouh hane teh Cathut e bahu doeh.
19 For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Cakathoung ni, a lungkaangnaw e thoumnae ka raphoe pouh han. Pouknae ka rasang naw e pouknae hai ka pahnawt pouh han.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (aiōn g165)
A lungkaangnaw teh nâne ao. Cakathutkungnaw teh nâne ao. Laidei kathoumnaw te nâne ao. Talaivan lungangnae teh Cathut ni pathunae lah a coung sak toung nahoehmaw. (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.
Talaivan lungangnae lahoi Cathut a panue thai awh hoeh dawkvah, Cathut ni pâpho e pathunae lawk lahoi ka yuem e naw rungngang hane a ngainae ao.
22 For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,
Judahnaw ni mitnoutnae naw a hei awh. Griknaw ni lungangnae lahoi a tawng awh.
23 but we preach Messiah crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,
Maimouh teh thingpalam dawk pathout lah kaawm e Khrih e kamthang pâpho awh. Hete kamthang kahawi teh Judahnaw kamthuinae lah ao teh, Jentelnaw hanlah pathunae lah ao.
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Hatei, Judah thoseh, Griknaw thoseh, Cathut ni a kaw e taminaw hanelah, Khrih teh Cathut e bahu hoi lungangnae lah ao.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.
Cathut e pathunae teh taminaw lungangnae hlak a lunganghnawn rah. Cathut thayounnae teh, taminaw thasainae hlak a thasaihnawn.
26 For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.
Nangmouh na kawnae pouk a haw. A kaw e thung dawk ka thoumthai kapap awm hoeh. Athakaawme kapap awm hoeh. Ka talue e kapap awm hoeh.
27 But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.
Cathut ni ka thoumthai naw kaya sak nahan talaivan koe lah ka pathu naw a rawi. Athakaawme taminaw kaya sak nahan, talai koe lah tha kayoun naw a rawi.
28 And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,
Ka tangreng naw kaya sak nahan, talaivan koe lah ka roedeng e, khet kamcu hoeh e, bang ka cungkeihoehe naw Cathut ni a rawi.
29 that no flesh might boast before God.
Hatdawkvah Cathut hmalah apihai kâoup thai hoeh.
30 And because of him you are in Messiah Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
Nangmouh teh Cathut pawlawk dawk Khrih Jisuh thung na o awh. Khrih teh maimouh hanlah Cathut koehoi ka tho e maimae lungangnae, thoungnae, lannae hoi ratangnae lah o.
31 so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Hatdawkvah Cakathoung ni a dei patetlah ka kâoup e tami teh Bawipa dawk ma kâoup naseh.
