1 Corinthians 16
1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
Tun Jerusalema Pathen mite dinga neitokhomna sum thua neihin doh nauva hin, nang hon jong Galatia gamkai pumpia houbungho henga ajui dingu kapeh chu najui dinguva katem nahiuve.
2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
Hapta seh a ni masapen nileh, nasum kilodoh uva kon chun atatoh kham bep anakoi doh uvin. Keima kahunglhuna khatvei lah a kahung lahkhom tokah ngah hih uvin.
3 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
Keima kahung tengleh, nathilpeh u Jerusalema podinga nalhen doh hou dinga seiphatna lekhathot kajih ding ahi.
4 And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
Chule keima dinga amaho toh lhon ding chu ahimona aum louva ahileh, keima tojong kaki lhon theiyu ahi.
5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
Keima Macedonia kache jou tengleh nangho vil dinga naheng uva kahung ding ahi, ajeh chu keima Macedonia a kona hung kholjin ding kalunggon ahi.
6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
Ijem itileh phat chomkhat, phalbi sunga nangho to umkhom kanomin, chujou tengleh aban kachena ding alampi nei gonpeh uva neisol theiyu ahitai.
7 I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
Tuchunga hi nangho chomcha hungvila chule aban chebe ding ti kagongpoi. Keima kahunga Pakaiyin eiphatsah ahileh chomkhat beh um ding kanop ahi.
8 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
Tutadi hin, Pentecost Kut lhunkah a dingin Ephesus khopia hin um inge.
9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
Hikoma natoh lentah tohna dingin kot lentah akihongin, hinla eidouva mi tamtah aumun ahi.
10 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
Timothy ahung tengleh, engbolna ima neihih un. Aman keima Pakai natoh katoh tobanga hi Pakai na chu atoh ahiye.
11 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
Koiman amahi hutum le gihna nei dauhen. Ama kaheng lama ahung kile tengleh na phatthei nau pumin hinsol un. Amahi atahsan midangto ahung kilhon ding kakinemin ahi.
12 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
Tun isopiu Apollos chung changa hin–keiman ama chun atahsan sopi dang ho toh nahung vilna dingun katemin ahi, hinla tutadin ama achenom hih laiye. Aman phat kijen dom phat dang anei teng nahung vil dingu ahi.
13 Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
Kihong phauvin, Tahsanna'a chun dingdet'un, Lung ngam'un. Hat'un.
14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
Chule nabol jouseu chu ngailutna in bol'un.
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
Stephanas le ain sung mite abonchauva Greece a aga masapen ahiuve ti nang hon naheuvin, chule amaho hin Pathen mite kin bolnaa ahinkhou aman jengu ahi. Kasopi deitah teho, kangeh nahiuve,
16 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
Amaho le midang ho kiphal thengtah le lunglut tah a natong ho thunoiya kipelut un.
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
Stephanas, Fortunetas Chule Achaicus hikom mun ahungu hin eikipasah lheh jengin ahi. Nanghon hikoma kithopina neipeh theilou u chu amaho hin eikithopiu ahi'e.
18 They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
Amaho nangho dinga kitilkhouna phatah ahibang uvin, keima dingin jong ahiuve. Hitobang loma phatah a lhacha kinbol ho jouse chu nakipapi nau navetsah tei diudol ahi.
19 The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
Asia gamkai sunga hilam a houbung um hon, Aquila le Priscilla chule ain'a kikhom houbung chun Pakaiya chibai nahin bol uve.
20 All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
Sopite ho hikoma umho jousen chibai nahin thot uve. Khat le khat Christian kingailutnan chibai kibolun.
21 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
Hiche hi keima PAUL in kakhuttah a kajih kichibaina thucheng ahi.
22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
Koitobang Pakai ngailu lou auma ahileh, ama chu gaosap changa ahi. Ka Pakaiyu hungin!
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
I-Pakaiyu Yeshua milungsetna chun naumpiu hen.
24 I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
Christa Yeshua a kangailutna nabon chauva chunga umhen. Amen.
