1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through God’s will, —and Sosthenes the brother, —
Rangte tenthun jun ih Jisu liphante raang ih poon arah Pool nyia seng phono Sosthens jiin nawa-
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:
Korin ni songtongte Rangte chaas raangtaan, nyia Rangte esa noksong raang ih, o mina Jisu Kristo jun ih heh raangtaan ih, adoleh seng Teesu Jisu nyia neng Teesu ngeh ih noongrep ni songtongla mina loong raang:
3 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih tenthet minchan nyia semroongroong raang ih romse toom tam kohan.
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, —
Jisu Kristo jun ih sen suh romse tamkot raangtaan saarookwet ih nga Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.
5 That, in everything, ye have been enriched in him—in all discourse and in all knowledge;
Sen loong ah Kristo jun ih jirep adi changteng ih hoon lan, mongtham nyia jengkhaap kongkhaap ni nep ah.
6 Even as, the witness of the Christ, hath been confirmed in you,
Kristo tiitkhaap ah sendam di erah than ih jatthuk halan,
7 So that ye come short in no gift of favour, —ardently awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
sen ih esiit taan uh romse tamkot ah lachoh tah angkan, seng Teesu Kristo dong ra bansok han jun ih ah.
8 Who will also confirm you unto the end, unaccusable in the day of our Lord Jesus [Christ]:
Rangthoon doh uh sen loong ah rongtangtang ih thiinhan, tiimnge liidoh seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ngaakrak Rangwu doh rangdah pan naktoom ang an.
9 Faithful, is God, through whom ye have been called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hesah seng Teesu Jisu Kristo damdoh roongroop suh Rangte ih poon tahan loong ah ih Rangte ah ehanpi ejih.
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.
Seng Teesu Jisu Kristo chaan ih, ngaaphoh ngaano sen loong asuh, sen jaachi nah lapheephaak suh sen ih tiim li an eradoh roong jun an ngeh ih raangkoh weerum hala. Sen loong ah thungsiit doh nyia jisiit raang ih roongroop an.
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,
Ngaaphoh ngaano loong Klos jaatang ih saasa ih baatrum halang, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui je lan.
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:
Ngah ih liihang abah: Sen jaachi ni jihoh jihoh daanmui lan. Mararah ih liihan “Ngah ih Pool lih phanhang;” rukho ah ih liihan, “Ngah ih Apollo lih phanhang;” rukho ih liihan, “Ngah ih Pitar lih phanhang;” rukho ah ih liihan, “Ngah ih Kristo lih phanhang.”
13 The Christ is divided! Was, Paul, crucified for you? Or, into the name of Paul, were ye immersed?
Kristo ah maama maama ih jop pheephaak han! Sen raangtaan ih tekte ah Pool tam angta? Sen loong ah Pool liphante raangtaan ih ju ni tam temtan?
14 I give thanks, that, none of you, did I immerse—save Crispus and Gaius,
Sen loong ah ngah ih o uh ju temmuh, Krispas nyia Gaius luulu ba juutem tahan, erah thoidi Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.
15 Lest any should say—into my own name, I immersed:
Erah raangtaan ih o ih uh tajen liika sen loong ah nga liphante raang ih juutem tan. (
16 Yea! I immersed the house of Stephanas also, —besides, I know not whether, anyone else, I immersed.
Em elang ih ah, Stephenas nyia heh jaatang uh ngah ih juutem rumtang; enoothong wahoh juutem bah ngah ih tasamthun kang.)
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.
Kristo ih juutem raangtaan ih tadaapkaat tahang. Heh ih ngah bah Ruurang Ese tiit ah mina mongtham nawa ih lah angthang ih baatkaat thuk tahang, tiimnge liidoh bangphak ni Kristo tek chaan aphaan ah lamat suh ah.
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.
Erah raangtaan ih Kristo bangphak ni tektiit ah matte loong ah raang ih thaangmuh; enoothong seng o khopi li raang ebah Rangte chaan aphaan.
19 For it is written—I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and, the discernment of the discerning, will I set aside.
Rangteele ni liiha, [Ngah ih jatwah jeewah mongtham thet haat ih ang nyia ejat emi thung atak loong ah ehoh nah thiin ang.]
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)
Eno bah jatwah jeewah ah mani ah? adoleh ejat emi loong ah? adoleh arah mongrep dowa mongwah maakwah loong ah? Rangte ih arah mongrep dowa mongtham loong ah thaangmuh ngeh ih noisok ha. (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.
Rangte mongtham ah mina neng niija mongtham nawa ih heh lajen jatthuk thang ih ang thukla. Erah nang ebah, seng ih nyootsootti asuh [thaangmuh” liiha jun ih heh suh laalomte loong ah Rangte ih puipang esuh liiha.
22 Seeing that both, Jews for signs, do ask, and, Greeks for wisdom, do seek,
Jehudi loong ah mih paatjaajih ah jatjoot esuh jamta, eno Grik loong ah ih mongtham ese ah jamta.
23 Whereas, we, proclaim a Christ who hath been crucified, —unto Jews, indeed, an occasion of stumbling, and, unto Gentiles, foolishness;
Enoothong seng loong ih bah Kristo tekrapbot tiit ah baat hi, erah tiitkhaap ah Jehudi raang ih edaan tiit eno Ranglajatte loong raang ih thaangmuh tiit;
24 But, unto the called themselves—both Jews and Greeks, Christ, God’s power, and, God’s wisdom.
enoothong Rangte ih o poonha, Jehudi nok hah angkoja adoleh Ranglajatte angkoja, arah tiitkhaap ah langla Kristo tiit, eno erah Rangte chaan aphaan nyia mongtham.
25 Because, God’s foolish thing, is, wiser than men, and, God’s weak thing, mightier than men.
Tiimnge Rangte emoklak ih adi uh mina mongtham nang ih ejatthoon, nyia Rangte naangtek ah mina nang ih luuchaan.
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:
Ngaaphoh ngaano loong amadoh samthun ih an, Rangte ih poon tahan adoh sen mamah angtan. Mina jun ih sen loong ah jatwah jeewah nyia ehang echaan adoleh changnuh changsiit changnyi ba angtan.
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,
Rangte ih jatririh di mina ih thaangmuh liiha ah jatwah jeewah rakrek thuk suh nyia changthih noodek ah ehang echaan rakrek thuksuh danjeeta.
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;
Mongrep mina ih thiikkhoh thiik ha loong ah thetsiit thuk suh thaangju kaanse thiik ha nyia chiik haat ha loong ah Rangte ih danjeeha
29 So that no flesh should boast before God.
Erah langla Rangte ngathong nah o uh tajen khuupookka.
30 But, of him, are, ye, in Christ Jesus, who hath been made wisdom unto us, from God, —both righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Enoothong Rangte ih sen loong ah Jisu Kristo damdoh tong suh thoksiit halan, eno Rangte ih Kristo ah seng raang ih jatwah mongtham ih hoonthukla. Jisu thoidi seng loong ah kateng angthuk hali; adoleh Rangte esa noksong angthuk heeno rangdah nawa saasiit hali.
31 In order that, even as it is written—He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.
Erah raangtaan ih Rangteele ni liiha, [O khuupook esuh li abah Teesu ih tiim mokala erah suh khuupook theng.]
