1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
Hiche lekhathot hi Pathen lung cham'a kilhengdoh Yeshua Christa solchah Paul le isopiu Sosthenes a kon ahi.
2 To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.
Keiman Pathen houbung Corinth a um nangho Pathen in amithengte hiding a akouho henga kahin sut ahi. Aman Christa Yeshua jal'a athenga nasemu ahi, munjousea Christian ho jouse, I Pakaiyu Yeshua Christa, amaho le eiho dinga Pakai, min hinkou ho jouse abolna banga.
3 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I-Pau Pathen le Pakai Yeshua Christa chun nangho lungset le cham lungmon napeuhen.
4 I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
Nangho tua hi Christa Yeshua a nahi jalun chule lungsetna thilpeh napeh jalun keiman ka Pathen chu kathangvah jingin ahi.
5 that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.
Ama a kona na houbungu hi Pathen in imalam jousea nahaosah u ahin, thusei thepna le hetthemna jouse hi naneiyu ahi.
6 Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,
Hiche hin keiman Christa chung thu kaseipeh uhi adih e ti aphotchen ahi.
7 so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nanghon tua lhagao thilpeh tintang nangaichat hou chu I-Pakaiyu Yeshua Christa hungkitna ding kinem'a ngah a nahi jeh uva naneiyu ahitai.
8 who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Aman achaina geiya nahatsah uva, IPakaiyu Yeshua Christa ahung niteng nolnabei hinkho naman theina dingu ahi.
9 God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Pathen hi tahsan umtah ahina jal'a Aman aboldinga asei chu thonlou hela ahinbol ding ahin, chule Ama chun Achapa Pakai Yeshua a chan neikhom dinga nangeh u ahitai.
10 Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
Kasopi deitahte, I Pakaiyu Yeshua Christa thuneina'a kangeh nom nau chu nangho khat le khat kilungtoh tah in umun. Houbunga kibung khenna umhih hen. Chusang in lungkhat kisauvin, lunggel le lungtup kithakhat hiuvin.
11 For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
Ajeh chu kasopi deitahte, Chloe insung mite phabep in kitohmoa naum u thu chu kajah a ahung seiyuve.
12 What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."
Nangho lah a mi phabep in, “Keima Paul nungjui kahi,” abangkhat loiyin, “Apollos nung kajuiye,” ahilouleh, “Peter nungjui kahi,” ahilouleh “Christa bou kajui ahi,” natiuvin ahi.
13 Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
Christa chu loituma achom cheh'a nakhen'u hitam? Keima Paul hi nangho dinga kikhenbeh a kahim? Nalah uva Paul mina baptize kibol naumuvem? Na um hihnauve!
14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
Nalah uva Crispus le Gaius tailou khatcha baptize kanabollou jeh in Pathen kathangvah e.
15 for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
Ajeh iham itileh tua hi koimachan kamin in baptize einabol'e eititheilou dingu ahitai.
16 I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
(Oh ahinai, keiman Stephenas insung pumpi jong chu baptize kanabolnai, ahinlah koima dang baptize kabolbe kahepoi).
17 Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
Ajeh chu Christan keima baptize bol le dinga eisol ahipoi, Kipana Thupha seiphongle dinga bou eisol ahi. Christa thingpel chun athaneina aman louna dinga chihna thudol asei kahilou ahi.
18 For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.
Ajeh chu thingpel thuhi mahthahna lam manoho dinga ngol hoitah thu ahi. Hinlah eiho huhhingna chang ho dinga Pathen thahatna ahi.
19 For so it stands written, "I will exhibit the nothingness of the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought."
Pathen Thubun aseima bangin, “Keiman miching ho chihna chu kasuhbei ding, chule milungching chihna chu imacha hilouva kakoi ding ahi” ati.
20 Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness? (aiōn g165)
Hiti ahijeh chun, chihgilna neiho, lekhathem ho, chule vannoi lungthim themnaa minelkal hat ho iti tauvintem? Pathen in hiche vannoi chihna chu angola amu ahibouve. (aiōn g165)
21 For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.
Pathen in Achihna a vannoiyin mihem chihnaa Ama ahetdoh lou dingu ahi ti amu jeh a, angol ho thusei banga kathuseiyu hin atahsan ho ahuhhing nadinga amanchah ahi.
22 Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
Van'a kona melchihna thum Judah nam mite dinga hichu ngolthu ahin, chule Greek mite, mihem chihna hol ho, dinga jong ngol thu ahi.
23 while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
Hitia hi keihon Christa kikhetbeh thu kaseiyu hi Judah nam mite lunghan kondohna ahunghin chule chidang namdang hon pannabei thu kisei ahibouve, atiuvin ahi.
24 but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
Hinlah Pathen in huhhing dinga akou ho dingin vang, Judah mi hihen chidang namdang hijong leh, Christa chu Pathen thahatna le Pathen chihna ahigel e.
25 Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.
Hiche Pathen in ngol tah a tohgon anei hi mihem achingpen tohgon sangin jong achingjon chule Pathen thalhahsamna chu mihem thahatpen sangin jong ahatjo nalaiye.
26 For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.
Kasopi deitahteho geldohtemun, Pathen in nanakou pet'u chun hiche vannoi lamdol a aching'ah ahilouleh athaneiyah ahilouleh ahaovah naum pouve.
27 But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;
Chusangin, vannoiyin angol'a agel ho'u chu Pathen in ching kisaho jachatsahna dinga alhendoh ahi. Chule Aman thaneilou ho jong chu thaneitah a kigel ho jachatsahna'a alhendoh ahi.
28 and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;
Pathen in hiche vannoiyin anahsahmo ho, imacha louva agel ho, chu alhendoh a, vannoiyin thupitah a agelho imacha hilou sosah dinga manchah dinga alhendoh ahi.
29 to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
Akhonna keiya, koimacha Pathen angsunga akiletsah hoitho umlouna ding ahi.
30 But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;
Pathen in Christa Yeshua toh nagop khomu ahitai. Iphatchompina ding uva Pathen in chihna tahbeh chu Ama ahisah ahitai. Christan eiho Pathen toh isuhchamu ahitah jeh in, Aman eiho athenga chule athengsel a eisem uva, chule chonset'a kona eilha ongtholu ahitai.
31 in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
Hiche jeh a chu Pathen Thubun asei, “Nangma nakison noma ahileh Pakai chungthua bou kisongin,” ati ahi.
