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,
Rangte tenthun jun ih Jisu liphante raang ih poon arah Pool nyia seng phono Sosthens jiin nawa-
2 from Paul, who has been called to be an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and from Sosthenes, our Brother.
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 May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih tenthet minchan nyia semroongroong raang ih romse toom tam kohan.
4 I always thank God about you for the blessing bestowed upon you in Christ Jesus.
Jisu Kristo jun ih sen suh romse tamkot raangtaan saarookwet ih nga Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.
5 For through union with him you were enriched in every way — in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the Truth;
Sen loong ah Kristo jun ih jirep adi changteng ih hoon lan, mongtham nyia jengkhaap kongkhaap ni nep ah.
6 and so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.
Kristo tiitkhaap ah sendam di erah than ih jatthuk halan,
7 And thus there is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for the Appearing 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 And God himself will strengthen you to the end, so that at the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ you may be found blameless.
Rangthoon doh uh sen loong ah rongtangtang ih thiinhan, tiimnge liidoh seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ngaakrak Rangwu doh rangdah pan naktoom ang an.
9 God will not fail you, and it is he who called you into communion with 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 appeal to you, Brothers, 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.
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 I have been informed, my Brothers, by the members of Chloe’s household, that party feeling exists among you.
Ngaaphoh ngaano loong Klos jaatang ih saasa ih baatrum halang, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui je lan.
12 I mean this: that every one of you says either ‘I follow Paul,’ or ‘I Apollos,’ or ‘I Kephas,’ or ‘I 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 You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul?
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 am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except 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 so that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith.
Erah raangtaan ih o ih uh tajen liika sen loong ah nga liphante raang ih juutem tan. (
16 I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized any one else.
Em elang ih ah, Stephenas nyia heh jaatang uh ngah ih juutem rumtang; enoothong wahoh juutem bah ngah ih tasamthun kang.)
17 My mission from Christ was not to baptize, but to tell the Good News; not, however, in the language of philosophy, lest the cross of the Christ should be robbed of its meaning.
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 The Message of the Cross is indeed mere folly to those who are in the path to Ruin, but to us who are in the path of Salvation it is the very power of God.
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 Scripture says — ‘I will bring the philosophy of the philosophers to nought, and the shrewdness of the shrewd I will make of no account.’
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 Philosopher? where the Teacher of the Law? where the Disputant of to-day? Has not God shown the world’s philosophy to be folly? (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 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!
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 While Jews ask for miraculous signs, and Greeks study philosophy,
Jehudi loong ah mih paatjaajih ah jatjoot esuh jamta, eno Grik loong ah ih mongtham ese ah jamta.
23 we are proclaiming Christ crucified! — to the Jews an obstacle, to the Gentiles mere folly,
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 to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ, the Power of God and the Wisdom of God!
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 For God’s ‘folly’ is wiser than men, and God’s ‘weakness’ is stronger than men.
Tiimnge Rangte emoklak ih adi uh mina mongtham nang ih ejatthoon, nyia Rangte naangtek ah mina nang ih luuchaan.
26 Look at the facts of your Call, Brothers. There are not many among you who are wise, as men reckon wisdom, not many who are influential, not many who are 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 but God chose what the world counts foolish to put its wise men to shame, and God chose what the world counts weak to put its strong things to shame,
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 God chose what the world counts poor and insignificant — things that to it are unreal — to bring its ‘realities’ to nothing,
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 in his presence no human being should boast.
Erah langla Rangte ngathong nah o uh tajen khuupookka.
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,
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 so that — in the words of Scripture — ‘Let him who boasts make his boast of the Lord!’
Erah raangtaan ih Rangteele ni liiha, [O khuupook esuh li abah Teesu ih tiim mokala erah suh khuupook theng.]
