1 Corinthians 3
1 But I, Brothers, could not speak to you as men with spiritual insight, but only as worldly-minded — mere infants in the Faith of Christ.
Nga phono loong, sen loong ah mongrep mina likhiik ih re anno, Chiialaate mina damdi roongwaan lang likhiik ih sen damdi tami roongwaan tahang, Ngah sen damdi mongrep mina damdi likhiik ih waan tahang, tiimnge liidi sen loong ah Kristaan tuumaang di noodek laat anglan.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you were not then able to take it. No, and even now you are not able; you are still worldly.
Sen loong ah banban latong thoidi, Ngah ih sen loong asuh phaksat echeh lah angthang ih nyupuuthi kottheng ih hoonta. Amadi tuk ih sen loong ah banban tah angkan,
3 While there exist among you jealousy and party feeling, is it not true that you are worldly, and are acting merely as other men do?
tiimnge liidoh sen loong ah amadi uh mongrep mina likhiik ih songtong lan. Sen loong ah sen jaachi ni miksuk siikhaam mui ih leh rookmui elan, emah songtong anbah mongrep mina likhiik ih tatam angkan?
4 When one says ‘I follow Paul,’ and another ‘I follow Apollos,’ are not you like other men?
Sen loong dung dowa wasiit ih li andi, [Ngah ih Pool lih phanhang, ] eno rukho rah ih liiha, “Ngah ih Apollos lih phanhang”—sen loong ah mongrep mina likhiik tatam reeraang lan?
5 What, I ask, is Apollos? or what is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to accept the Faith; and that only as the Lord helped each of you.
Eno Apollo ah o ah? Adoleh Pool ah o ah? Seng bah, sen suh hanpi lampo siitte Rangte laksuh bo ah. Seng ih bah Rangte ih mootkaat thuk tahe ah ba mokati;
6 I planted, and Apollos watered, but it was God who caused the growth.
Ngah ih bangphook ah kiitang, Apollo ih joong lokta, eno bangphook ah Rangte ih hakthukta.
7 Therefore neither the man who plants, nor the man who waters, is of any account, but only God who causes the growth.
Amiisak di o ih kiita nyia o ih joong lok abah uh tiim tah angka. Hakthukte abah rakla.
8 In this the man who plants and the man who waters are one; yet each will receive his own reward in proportion to his own labour.
Bangphook kiite nyia joong lokte o uh tadakka; nengnyi mokata thaang ah heh mamah ih mokata erah jun ih Rangte jiin nawa choh ah.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s harvest field, God’s building.
Seng loong abah Rangte mootkaat room mootkaatte bo ah, eno sen loong ah Rangte raangtaan ih heh phek. Sen loong ah Rangte nok uh ang e an.
10 In fulfilment of the charge which God had entrusted to me, I laid the foundation like a skilful master-builder; but another man is now building upon it. Let every one take care how he builds;
Rangte ih kotahang heh lakkot ah maak angno, nok hoonte jatwah likhiik ih thonglong chaptang, eno wahoh ih erah khoh adi nok ah hoonha. Enoothong seng loong ah ih mamah ih hoontheng ah erah jat jaatjaat etheng.
11 for no man can lay any other foundation than the one already laid — Jesus Christ.
Tiimnge liidi Rangte ih thonglong ah jenchap eta erah langla Jisu Kristo, thonglong ehoh takah miichapka.
12 Whatever is used by those who build upon this foundation, whether gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Mararah ih erah thonglong ah chapsuh hun akom adoleh thaangchaan jaat jong maak ah; mararah ih bang maak ha adoleh naam adoleh chamhaang maak ah.
13 the quality of each man’s work will become known, for the Day will make it plain; because that Day is to be ushered in with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of every man’s work.
Eno o mina mamah ih mokata erah Kristo Rangwuuja jat ih thuk ah. Tiimnge liidi erah rangwu saakaan ja danje ih adoh warep mootkaat pakna ah jatthuk ah; we ih erah ah thaaksook ano ami ah noisok ah.
14 If any man’s work, which he has built upon that foundation, still remains, he will gain a reward.
Marah noktheng ni hoonta, erah we ih dakkhaam abah ehoonte warah ih hethaang choh ah.
15 If any man’s work is burnt up, he will suffer loss; though he himself will escape, but only as one who has passed through fire.
Enoothong sen lakmaak loong ah matkhaam e abah, sen ih mat haat ehu, enoothong an teewah ah, weelu nawa pui ah likhiik ih epui eh an.
16 Do not you know that you are God’s Temple, and that God’s Spirit has his home in you?
Sen ih jat ehan, sen loong ah Rangte nok eno Rangte Chiiala ah sen damdi tong hala!
17 If any one destroys the Temple of God, God will destroy him; for the Temple of God is sacred, and so also are you.
O mina ih Rangte nok ah thet haat eh ah erah mina ah Rangte ih thet haat eh ah. Tiimnge liidi Rangte nok ah esa, eno senteewah ah heh nok.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you imagines that, as regards this world, he is a wise man, let him become a ‘fool,’ that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
An teeteewah lamokwaan theng. Sen loong dung dowa o ih arah mongrep adi ngah jatwah ih mok samthun anbah, heh amiisak doh ejat angsuh heh nokbaang raang ang theng. (aiōn g165)
19 For in God’s sight this world’s wisdom is folly. Scripture tells of — ‘One who catches the wise in their own craftiness,’
Tiimnge liidi arah mongrep mina ih ejat ngeh ih liiha ah Rangte miksok di thaangmuh. Rangteele ni liiha, [Rangte ih jatwah ah heh mongwah maakwah ah ih phoong ni pat thukla”;
20 And it says again — ‘The Lord sees how fruitless are the deliberations of the wise.’
eno rangteele ehoh ni liiha, [Teesu ih jat eha jatwah tenthun ah thaangmuh.]
21 Therefore let no one boast about men; for all things are yours —
Erah raangtaan ih, mina ih jen mokali asuh lakhuupook theng. Amiisak di jirep ah sen lakbui:
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future — all things are yours!
Pool angkoja, Apollo angkoja, arah mongrep angkoja, roidong nyia etek angkoja, adoleh amah dowa nyia liwang nawa angkoja—arah loong ah sen lakbui,
23 But you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.
eno sen loong ah Kristo lakbui, Kristo ah Rangte lakbui.
