1 Corinthians 1
1 To the church of God in Corinth, to those who have been consecrated by union with Christ Jesus and called to become his people, and also to all, wherever they may be, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ – their Master and ours,
Pathian deina tungtawn in Jesus Christ i sawltak a hi tu in a kisam keima Paul le ka suapui pa Sosthenes in,
2 from Paul, who has been called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our fellow follower of the Lord.
Christ Jesus in thiangthosak a, mithiangtho te ci a ki sam, Corinth a om Pathian pawlpi le mun tatuam a i Topa Jesus Christ min a sam theampo tung ah:
3 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ kung pan in hesuakna le thinnopna sia note tung ah hong om tahen.
4 I always thank God for you. I thank him for the blessing bestowed on you in Christ Jesus.
Jesus Christ tungtawn in note tung ah hongpiak Pathian i thuthiamna atu in, note tang in ka Pathian ka pok hi;
5 For through union with him you were enriched in every way – in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the truth;
Tabang in na kampauna theampo uh le na heakna uh theampo, na theampo ah Ama in hong hausak zo hi;
6 and so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.
Christ i tettipan na zong note sung ah hong kipsak zo hi:
7 There is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed.
Tabang in i Topa Jesus Christ hongpai tu na ngak uh kawm in letsong khat zong na kisam bua uh hi:
8 And God himself will strengthen you to the end, so that at the day of our Lord Jesus Christ you may be found blameless.
Tabang in i Topa Jesus Christ ni ciang paubang ngawl na hi thei natu uh in, Ama in a tawp dong hong kipsak tu hi.
9 God will not fail you, and it is he who called you into communion with his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
A Tapa i Topa Jesus Christ taw ki pawlkhopna nei tu in note hongsam Pathian sia a thuman Pathian a hihi.
10 But I appeal to you, my friends, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you profess, and not to allow divisions to exist among you, but to be united – of one mind and of one opinion.
Tu in suapui te awng, na vekpi in na kampau na uh kibang tek in, ki khenna om ngawl, a picing thu kisikna taw ki pawlkhawm tu le thukhenna kibang tek hi tu in, i Topa Jesus Christ min taw kong thum hi.
11 For I have been informed, my friends, by the members of Chloe’s household, that party feeling exists among you.
Banghangziam cile ka suapui te awng, note sung ah kihauna om hi, ci in Chloe te innkuan tung pan in kei tung ah note i thu hong ki pualak zo hi.
12 I mean this: that every one of you says either ‘I follow Paul,’ or ‘I Apollos,’ or ‘I Cephas,’ or ‘I Christ.’
Tu in hi thu kong son hi, noma sung ah khatsim in, keima sia Paul i pawl khi hi; taciang kei sia Apollos i pawl ka hihi; taciang kei sia Peter i pawl ka hihi; taciang kei sia Christ i pawl ka hihi, na ci uh hi.
13 You have torn the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Christ sia ki khen ziam? Paul sia note atu in thinglamte tung ah a ki khai ziam? a hibale, Paul min taw tui na ki phum uh ziam?
14 I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Note sung ah Crispus le Gaius simngawl kuama tuiphum ngawl ka hikom in Pathian tung ka lungdam hi;
15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name.
Tua ahikom, Paul in ama min taw tuiphumna pia hi, kuama in ci thei ngawl tu hi.
16 I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized anyone else.
Taciang Stephen te innkuan zong keima in tui ka phum hi: tua te simngawl a dang tui ka phum ka he bua hi.
17 My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the good news; not, however, in the language of philosophy, in case the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.
Banghangziam cile Christ in tuiphumna pia tu in hong sawl ngawl a, lungdamna thupha hil tu in hong sawl hi: tua thu sia ciimna kammal te taw hil tu hi ngawl hi, tabang hile Christ thinglamte sia vang nei ngawl suak tu hi.
18 The message of the cross is indeed mere folly to those who are on the path to ruin, but to us who are on the path of salvation it is the power of God.
Banghangziam cile thinglamte thuhil na sia a mangthang te atu in mawmawt na a hihi; ahihang ngupna a sang te a tu in Pathian i vangletna a hihi.
19 For scripture says – ‘I will bring the philosophy of the philosophers to naught, and the shrewdness of the shrewd I will bring to nothing.’
Banghangziam cile, a ciim te i ciimna ka susia tu a, mipil te i telthiam na zong a mannung ngawl ka suaksak tu hi, ci in ki at hi.
20 Where is the philosopher? Where the teacher of the Law? Where the disputant of today? Has not God shown the world’s philosophy to be folly? (aiōn g165)
Mihing ciim koisung ah om ziam? Thukhamhil te koisung ah om ziam? hi leitung ah thu nial te e koisung ah om zia? Pathian in hi leitung pilna sia mawmawtna suaksak zo hi ngawl ziam? (aiōn g165)
21 For since the world, in God’s wisdom, did not by its philosophy learn to know God, God saw fit, by the ‘folly’ of our proclamation, to save those who believe in Christ!
Banghangziam cile leitung mite in pilna taw Pathian a heak ngawl zawk ciang, Pathian i pilna sung ah mawmawtna thu pualakna a um te ngum tu in Pathian a lungkim hi.
22 While Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks study philosophy,
Banghangziam cile Judah mite in musakna ngen uh hi, taciang Greek mite in pilna zong uh hi:
23 we are proclaiming Christ crucified! – to the Jews an obstacle, to the Gentiles mere folly,
Ahihang kote in thinglamte tung ah a ki khai Christ thu ka hil uh hi, tua thu sia Judah mite atu in lutu na a hihi, taciang Greek mite atu in mawmawtna a hihi;
24 but to those who have received the call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God!
Ahihanng a kisam Judah mite le Greek mite atu in Christ sia Pathian vangletna le pilna a hihi.
25 For God’s ‘folly’ is wiser than people, and God’s ‘weakness’ is stronger than people.
Banghangziam cile Pathian i mawmawtna sia mihing te sang in ciim zaw hi; taciang Pathian i thaneamna sia mihing te sang in hat zaw hi.
26 Look at the facts of your call, friends. There are not many among you who are wise, as people reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are high-born;
Banghangziam cile suapui te awng, nang hong kisapna thu en vun, cilesa lam pan in mipil tampi, a vanglian le ulian thupi tampi na om bua uh hi:
27 but God chose what the world counts foolish to put its wise to shame, and God chose what the world counts weak to put its strong to shame,
Ahihang Pathian in mipil te maizumsak tu in leitung taw kisai in a mawmaw te teal hi; taciang Pathian in a thahat te maizumsak tu leitung taw kisai in a thaneam te teal hi;
28 and God chose what the world counts poor and insignificant – things that to it are unreal – to bring its ‘realities’ to nothing,
A omsa nate a mannung ngawl a suaksak tu in, leitung na mannung ngawl, bangma a ki simngawl nate le a om ngawl lai nate dong in Pathian in teal hi:
29 so that in his presence no one should boast.
Tabang in Pathian mai ah kuama ki suangtak ngawl tu hi.
30 But you, by your union with Christ Jesus, belong to God; and Christ, by God’s will, became not only our wisdom, but also our righteousness, holiness, and deliverance,
Ahihang note Ama tungtawn in Christ Jesus sung ah na om uh hi, Ama sia Pathian in eite atu in pilna, thutang suana, thianthosakna le tatna in hong vawtsak hi:
31 so that – in the words of scripture – ‘Whoever boasts should boast of the Lord!’
Tabang in, a ki at sa bangma in, a ki suangtak te sia Topa sung ah ki suangtak tahen.
