1 Corinthians 16
1 As to the collection for God's people, what I have directed the Churches of Galatia to do, you must do also.
Hlangcim rhoek ham congcoi kawng te Galati hlangboel rhoek ka uen bangla nangmih khaw saii uh van.
2 On the first day of every week let each of you put on one side and store up at his home whatever gain has been granted to him; so that whenever I come, there may then be no collections going on.
Nangmih pakhat rhip te yalh khat dongah a hoeikhang atah pakhat khaw amah loh khueh saeh lamtah tung saeh. Te daengah ni ka pawk vaengah congcoi a om pawt eh.
3 And when I am with you, whatever brethren you accredit by letter I will send to carry your kind gift to Jerusalem.
Ka pawk vaengah hlang na hmoel uh mako. Te rhoek te nangmih kah lungvatnah aka phuei ham capat neh Jerusalem la ka tueih eh.
4 And if it is worth while for me also to make the journey, they shall go as my companions.
Kamah khaw ka caeh koi la a om atah kamah neh ka cet uh bitni.
5 I shall come to you after passing through Macedonia; for my plan will be to pass through Macedonia;
Makedonia ah khaw ka pah ham dongah Makedonia ah ka pah phoeiah ni nangmih taengla ka pawk eh.
6 and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.
Nangmih taengah ka di vetih sikca ka boek mai ni. Te daengah ni mela ka caeh khaw kai nan thak uh eh.
7 For I do not wish to see you on this occasion merely in passing; but if the Lord permits, I hope to remain some time with you.
Tahae kah caehlam ah nangmih hmuh ham ka ngaih moenih. Boeipa loh m'paek atah nangmih te a tue kolkalh khaw oei ham ka ngaiuep.
8 I shall remain in Ephesus, however, until the time of the Harvest Festival,
Tedae Pentekos due tah Ephisa ah ka om ni.
9 for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.
Thohka tah kai hamla a len neh khuekcet la a ong dae muep a kingkalh uh.
10 If Timothy pays you a visit, see that he is free from fear in his relations with you; for he is engaged in the Master's work just as I am.
Tedae Timothy ha pawk atah ngaithuen uh lamtah nangmih taengah hoel om saeh. Boeipa kah bibi te kai bangla a saii van.
11 Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.
Te dongah pakhat long khaw anih te hnaelcoe uh boeh. Amah te nan thak uh daengah ni kai taengah sading la ha pawk eh. Amah neh manuca rhoek te ka lamtawn.
12 As for our brother Apollos, I have repeatedly urged him to accompany the brethren who are coming to you: but he is quite resolved not to do so at present. He will come, however, when he has a good opportunity.
Manuca Apollo te manu rhoek neh nangmih taengla pawk sak ham amah khaw puet ka hloep. Tedae tahae ah ha pawk ham ngaih loengloeng pawt cakhaw a hoenghoep vaengah ha pawk bitni.
13 Be on the alert; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong.
Hak uh laeh. Tangnah dongah cak uh lamtah thinrhim la rhaang uh laeh.
14 Let all that you do be done from motives of love.
Nangmih kah a cungkuem tah lungnah dongah om saeh.
15 And I beseech you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, how they were the earliest Greek converts to Christ, and have devoted themselves to the service of God's people--
Manuca rhoek nangmih te kan hloep coeng. Stephen kah imkhui te Akhaia kah thaihcuek neh hlangcim rhoek bongyong ham amah te aka hmoel uh ni tila na ming uh.
16 I beseech you, on your part, to show deference to such men, and to every one who participates in their work and toils hard.
Boe na ngai uh van daengah ni amih bangla huek na bongyong vetih na thakthae uh thai eh.
17 It is a joy to me that Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus have now arrived, because what was wanting so far as you are concerned they have supplied.
Stephen, Fortunat, Akhaiku ha lonah te khaw ka omngaih coeng. Nangmih kah vawtthoeknah khaw te rhoek long ni a cung sak.
18 They have refreshed my spirit, and yours. Acknowledge such men as these.
Kamah neh nangmih kah mueihla he a caih sak. Te dongah amih te ming uh.
19 The Churches in the province of Asia send you greetings; and Aquila and Prisca, in hearty Christian love, do the same, together with the Church which meets at their house.
Asia kah hlangboel rhoek loh nangmih n'toidal uh. Aquila, Priska neh a im kah hlangboel loh Boeipa ming neh nangmih te anah la n'toidal uh.
20 The brethren all send greetings to you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Manuca boeih loh nangmih te n'toidal uh. Khat neh khat moknah cim neh toidal uh.
21 The final greeting of me--Paul--with my own hand.
Kamah Paul kut neh toidalnah ka khueh.
22 If any one is destitute of love to the Lord, let him be accursed. OUR LORD IS COMING.
Khat khat loh Boeipa te a lungnah pawt atah kosi yook saeh. MARANATHA ka Boeipa halo laeh.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
Boeipa Jesuh kah lungvatnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
24 My love in Christ Jesus be with you all.
Kai kah lungnah tah Khrih Jesuh ming neh nangmih taengah boeih om saeh.
