1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —and Sosthenes the brother, —
Pamhnama hlüeia khü Jesuh Khritawa ngsä, kei Pawluh jah ka na Soten naw,
2 Unto the assembly of God which is in Corinth, sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, —with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place, —their Lord 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 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa, Pamhnam jah Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa veia ka bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak nami khana ve se.
4 I give thanks unto my God, at all times, concerning you, by reason of the favour of God given unto you in Christ Jesus, —
Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh Pamhnama bäkhäknak aning jah peta phäha Pamhnama veia aläa jenak ka mthehki.
5 That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse 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 witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,
Acukba Khritaw a ngthu ka ning jah ksingsak nangmi üng khäng lü veki cän ni;
7 So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
A dawkyanak yah lü, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa a ngdannak law vai k'äihei ua.
8 Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable 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 Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into 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 But I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, —that, the same thing, ye, all, be saying, and that there be not, among you, divisions; but that ye be fitly 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 signified unto me, concerning you, my brethren, —by them who are of [the household of] Chloe, —that there are strifes among you,
Ka püie aw, nami ngcungkaih veki tia mawng cun Kalokuha khui im kyawng lawng naw na mthehkie ni.
12 Now I mean this, —that, each one of you, is saying—I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, 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 The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
Khritaw cun ngkhawipaki aw? Pawluh nami phäha kutlamktung üng thiki aw? Am ani üng, Pawluha ngming am baptican nami ngkhamki aw?
14 I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save 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—into my own name, I immersed:
Am aniüng, khyang naw, keia ngming am baptican nami ngkhamkia ngai khaie ni.
16 Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
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 be immersing, but to be telling the good news, —not with wisdom of discourse, lest, void should be made, the cross of the Christ.
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 discourse which concerneth the cross, unto them, indeed, who are perishing, is, foolishness; but, unto them who are being saved—unto us, it is, God’s power.
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, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
“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 age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the 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, seeing that, in the wisdom of God, the world, through its wisdom, did not get to knew God, God was well-pleased—through the foolishness of the thing proclaimed, 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 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,
Judahe naw, müncannak kthäh u lü Krike naw kthemnak suikie,
23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, 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 the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.
Acunsepi, Judahea pi kyase, Krikea pi kyase, Pamhnama khüea phäha ta Khritawa ngthu cun Pamhnama khyaihnak ja Pamhnama ksingnaka kyaki ni.
25 Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.
Pamhnama angnak cun nghngicima ksingnaka kthaka kyäp bawki, Pamhnama am kyannak mäi cän pi nghngicima kyannaka kthaka kyäp bawki ni.
26 For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, —that [there were] not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:
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 On the contrary—the foolish things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame them who are wise, and, the weak things of the world, hath God chosen, that he might put to shame the things that 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, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, —[and] the things that are not, —that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;
Acunüng, kyäpkie ia am ngtäh khaiea khawmdek üng aksee jah hmuhmsitkie, am ngtähkie Pamhnam naw jah khüki.
29 So that no flesh should boast before God.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama hmaia u am awcah thei.
30 But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both 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 In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
Acunakyase, “Awhcahki naküt naw Bawipa awhcah na se” Cangcim naw tiki.
