1 Corinth 1
1 Tengban Mapugi aningbagi mapanna, Christta Jisugi pakhonchatpa oina koubiraba Paul eihakna amasung eikhoigi ichil-inao Sosthenesna,
Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
2 Corinth-da leiriba Tengban Mapugi singlupta, haibadi eikhoigisu makhoigisu Ibungo oiriba Jisu Christtabu khurumjariba mapham pumnamakta leiriba makhoising aduga loinana Christta Jisuda sengdokminnaduna, Tengban Mapugi asengba mising oinaba kouminnakhraba nakhoida:
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.
3 Eikhoigi Ipa Ibungo Tengban Mapu amadi Ibungo Jisu Christtana nakhoida thoujal amadi ingthaba pinabisanu.
May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Christta Jisugi mapanna Tengban Mapuna nakhoida pinabikhraba thoujal adugi maramna nakhoigidamak eina eigi Tengban Mapubu matam pumnamakta thagatchei.
I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
5 Maramdi nakhoina hiram khudingmakta haibadi, nakhoina ngangba pumnamakta amasung nakhoigi khangba pumnamakta nakhoibu inak khulhanbire.
that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.
6 Matou asumna Christtagi maramda eikhoina nakhoida sandokpa wa adu henna chethanbire.
Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,
7 Maram aduna eikhoigi Ibungo Jisu Christtabu phongdokpigadaba adu nakhoina khourangna ngairingeida nakhoina thawaigi oiba khudolgi awatpa karisu leite.
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,
8 Aduga eikhoigi Ibungo Jisu Christtagi numit aduda nakhoina naral leitanaba aroiba adu phaoba mahakna nakhoibu chetna leihanbigani.
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.
9 Mahakki Machanupa eikhoigi Ibungo Jisu Christtaga saruk phangminnanaba nakhoibu koubiba Tengban Mapu mahakti thajaba yabani.
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.
10 Ichil-inaosa, eina Ibungo Jisu Christtagi mingda nakhoida haijari, madudi nakhoigi narakta tokhai tanadanaba nakhoina haiba wa aduda nakhoi pumnamakna amaga amaga pukning wakhal tinnabiyu. Aduga wakhallon amatada amadi pandam amatada nakhoina mapungphana punsinnabiyu.
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.
11 Maramdi, eigi ichin-inaosa, nakhoigi narakta khatna-cheinaba leire haiduna Chloe-gi imunggi mi kharana eingonda tamlare.
For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
12 Eina haibadi asini, madudi nakhoi kharana, “Eidi Paul-gini,” aduga khara amana amuk, “Eidi Apollos-gini” nattraga “Eidi Peter-gini” nattraga “Eidi Christtagini” haina hainari.
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."
13 Christtabu tokhai tokhai tahallabra? Paul-bu nakhoigidamak cross-ta hatkhibra? Nakhoibu Paul-gi mingda baptize toukhibra?
Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
14 Eina Tengban Mapubu thagatli madudi eina Crispus amadi Gaius nattana nakhoi kana amatabu baptize toukhide.
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
15 Aduna houjik mi kana amatana eigi mingda nakhoibu baptize tou-i haina haiba ngamloi.
for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
16 Hoi, eina Stephanas amadi mahakki imungi misingbusu baptize toukhi, aduga makhoidagi henna eina atei kana kanabu baptize toukhibage haibadu eina ningsingba ngamdre.
I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
17 Maramdi Christtana eibu baptize tounanaba thabiba natte adubu Aphaba Pao adu sandoknaba thabibani aduga madu eina Christtana cross-ta sibiba adu aremba oidananaba mioibagi lousinggi oiba wangang yaodana sandoknaba thabibani.
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.
18 Maramdi Christtana cross-ta sibibagi wa asi mangduna leiribasinggi maphamdadi apangbani; adubu kanbiba phanglaba eikhoidadi Tengban Mapugi panggalni.
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.
19 Mapugi Puyada asumna iduna lei, “Eina asingbasinggi lousingbu mang-hangani, Aduga akhang aheisinggi khang-heibabu aremba oihangani.”
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."
20 Adu oirabadi, asingba mi kadaida leibage? Wayel yathanggi oja kadaida leibage? Taibangpan asigi yetnaba heiba akhang aheising kadaida leibage? Tengban Mapuna taibanpan asigi lousing adu apangbani haina utpikhraba nattra? (aiōn g165)
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)
21 Maramdi masagi lousinggi mapanna misingna mahakpu khangba ngamdanaba Tengban Mapuna singna wareple. Madugi mahutta “apangbani” hainariba eikhoina sandokliba Aphaba Pao asigi mapanna thajabasingbu kanbinanaba Tengban Mapuna leple.
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.
22 Jihudisingna angakpa khudam thi aduga Greek-singna lousing thi.
Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
23 Adubu eikhoinadi cross-ta hatkhiba Christtagi maramda sandok-i. Pao asi Jihudisinggi maphamdadi khudi thiphamni aduga Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi maphamdana apangbani.
while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
24 Adubu Tengban Mapuna koubiraba makhoising haibadi Jihudising amadi Jihudi nattaba phurupsing animakta Christta asi Tengban Mapugi panggalni amasung Tengban Mapugi lousingni.
but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Maramdi Tengban Mapugi apangba aduna mioibagi lousingdagi henna sing-i aduga Tengban Mapugi asonba aduna mioibagi panggaldagi henna kalli.
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.
26 Ichil-inaosing, nakhoibu Tengban Mapuna koubikhiba matamda nakhoina oiramba phibham adu ningsing-u. Mioibagi mityengda nakhoi ayamba asingba oiramde, matik leiba oiramde amasung thak wangba mising oiramde.
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.
27 Adubu asingbasingbu ikaiba pinanaba taibangpanna apangbasingni haina khanbasingbu aduga akanbasingbu ikaiba pinanaba taibangpanna asonbasingni haina khanbasingbu Tengban Mapuna khandokle.
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;
28 Aduga taibangpanbana maruoibani haina khanbasing adubu karisu nattaba oihannanaba taibangpanna atonbani khanbasing, hanthana yengbirabasing amadi karisu nattana khanbasing adubu Tengban Mapuna khandokle.
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;
29 Masi mi kana amatana Tengban Mapugi mamangda chaothoktanabani.
to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
30 Adubu Tengban Mapuna nakhoibu Christta Jisuda tinsinhanbire amasung Christtabu eikhoigi lousing oihanbire. Aduga Christtagi mapanna eikhoibu Tengban Mapugi maphamda chumhanbire; eikhoibu Tengban Mapugi asengba mi oihanbire amasung eikhoibu ning tamhanbire.
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;
31 Maram aduna, masi Mapugi Puyada ikhibagumna, “Chaothokchaba pamba mahak aduna MAPU IBUNGO-na toubikhiba adugi maramda chaothokchasanu.”
in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
