1 Korinte 1

1 Rangte tenthun jun ih Jisu liphante raang ih poon arah Pool nyia seng phono Sosthens jiin nawa-

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 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:

to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih tenthet minchan nyia semroongroong raang ih romse toom tam kohan.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Jisu Kristo jun ih sen suh romse tamkot raangtaan saarookwet ih nga Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.

I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;

5 Sen loong ah Kristo jun ih jirep adi changteng ih hoon lan, mongtham nyia jengkhaap kongkhaap ni nep ah.

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;

6 Kristo tiitkhaap ah sendam di erah than ih jatthuk halan,

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 sen ih esiit taan uh romse tamkot ah lachoh tah angkan, seng Teesu Kristo dong ra bansok han jun ih ah.

so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;

8 Rangthoon doh uh sen loong ah rongtangtang ih thiinhan, tiimnge liidoh seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ngaakrak Rangwu doh rangdah pan naktoom ang an.

who will also strengthen you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Hesah seng Teesu Jisu Kristo damdoh roongroop suh Rangte ih poon tahan loong ah ih Rangte ah ehanpi ejih.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

10 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.

Now I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement, so that there may be no divisions among you, and to be united by the same mind and conviction.

11 Ngaaphoh ngaano loong Klos jaatang ih saasa ih baatrum halang, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui je lan.

For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12 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.”

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," "I follow Apollos," "I follow Cephas," and, "I follow Christ."

13 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?

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

14 Sen loong ah ngah ih o uh ju temmuh, Krispas nyia Gaius luulu ba juutem tahan, erah thoidi Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

15 Erah raangtaan ih o ih uh tajen liika sen loong ah nga liphante raang ih juutem tan. (

so that no one should say that you had been baptized into my own name.

16 Em elang ih ah, Stephenas nyia heh jaatang uh ngah ih juutem rumtang; enoothong wahoh juutem bah ngah ih tasamthun kang.)

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

17 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.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of the Christ would not be made void.

18 Erah raangtaan ih Kristo bangphak ni tektiit ah matte loong ah raang ih thaangmuh; enoothong seng o khopi li raang ebah Rangte chaan aphaan.

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 Rangteele ni liiha, [Ngah ih jatwah jeewah mongtham thet haat ih ang nyia ejat emi thung atak loong ah ehoh nah thiin ang.]

For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

20 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)

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 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.

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

22 Jehudi loong ah mih paatjaajih ah jatjoot esuh jamta, eno Grik loong ah ih mongtham ese ah jamta.

For Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom,

23 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;

but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the non-Jews,

24 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.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Tiimnge Rangte emoklak ih adi uh mina mongtham nang ih ejatthoon, nyia Rangte naangtek ah mina nang ih luuchaan.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man's, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's.

26 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.

For consider your calling, brothers, that not many were wise from a human perspective, not many mighty, not many of noble birth.

27 Rangte ih jatririh di mina ih thaangmuh liiha ah jatwah jeewah rakrek thuk suh nyia changthih noodek ah ehang echaan rakrek thuksuh danjeeta.

But God chose the foolish of the world to shame the wise. And God chose the weak of the world to shame the strong.

28 Mongrep mina ih thiikkhoh thiik ha loong ah thetsiit thuk suh thaangju kaanse thiik ha nyia chiik haat ha loong ah Rangte ih danjeeha

And God chose the lowly of the world, and the despised, what is considered to be nothing, to bring to nothing what is considered to be something,

29 Erah langla Rangte ngathong nah o uh tajen khuupookka.

that no flesh might boast before God.

30 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.

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

31 Erah raangtaan ih Rangteele ni liiha, [O khuupook esuh li abah Teesu ih tiim mokala erah suh khuupook theng.]

so that, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
