1 Korin 1

1 Sithaw koehhhaih baktiah patoeh ih kami ah oh hanah, Jesu Kri mah kawk ih Pawl hoi aicae nawkamya Sothena loe,

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

2 Kri Jesu rang hoiah zaehaih ciim boeh moe, kaciim kami ah kawk ih, Korin vangpui ah kaom Sithaw kricaabunawk, ahmuen kruekah nihcae hoi aicae ih, Angraeng Jesu Kri hmin kawk kaminawk boih:

Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:

3 aicae ampa Sithaw, Angraeng Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi angdaehhaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe.

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Kri Jesu rang hoiah Sithaw tahmenhaih nangcae khaeah paek boeh pongah, nangcae zuengah Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih toepsoep;

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 lokthuihaih hoi panoekhaih boih ah, Anih rang hoi hmuen boih ah na koep o boeh;

That in every thing all of you are enriched by him, in all utterance, (logos) and in all knowledge;

6 ka thuih ih Kri tamthanglok doeh nangcae khaeah caksak boeh:

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 to pongah aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri angzoh lethaih na zing o naah, tangqum maeto doeh pathlong ai ah na oh o:

So that all of you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri ih niah coek koi om ai ah na oh o thai hanah, boeng khoek to Anih mah na cak o sak tih.

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that all of you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Sithaw loe oepthoh, Anih rang hoiah ni a Capa, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri hoi angkom hanah nangcae to ang kawk.

God is faithful, by whom all of you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Nawkamyanawk, nangcae salakah ampraekhaih oh han ai ah, lok maeto ah na thuih o moe, poekhaih maeto tawnh pacoengah, lok na takroek o hanah, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri hmin hoiah kang pacae o.

Now I plead to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that all of you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 Nawkamyanawk, nangcae thungah lok angaekhaih oh ti, tiah Khaloe imthung takohnawk mah ang thuih o.

For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk mah, Kai loe Pawl ih kami ni, kai loe Apollo ih kami ni, kai loe Kipha ih kami ni, kai loe Kri ih kami ni, tiah thuih o pongah, vaihi hae lok hae kang thuih o.

Now this I say, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Kri loe ampraek phang maw? Nangcae zuengah Pawl maw takhing o? To ai tih boeh loe Pawl ih ahmin hoiah maw tuinuemhaih na hnuk o?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were all of you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 Krispa hoi Kaia thui ai ah, nangcae thung ih kami maeto doeh tuinuemhaih kang paek o ai pongah, Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih;

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

15 To tih ai nahaeloe minawk mah kaimah ih ahmin hoiah tuinuemhaih ka paek, tiah thui o moeng tih.

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

16 Stephen cakawhnawk doeh tuinuemhaih ka paek: nihcae ai ah loe kalah kaminawk tuinuem paekhaih ka panoek ai.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

17 Kri mah tuinuem hanah na patoeh ai, lokthui kophaih hoiah lok taphong hanah doeh na patoeh ai, kahoih tamthanglok taphong han ih ni ang patoeh; to tih ai nahaeloe Kri ih thinglam to azom pui ah om moeng tih.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, (logos) lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

18 Thinglam tamthanglok loe anghmaa kaminawk hanah amthuhaih ah oh; toe aicae pahlong caanawk hanah loe Sithaw thacakhaih ah oh.

For the preaching (logos) of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

19 Palungha kami palunghahaih to kam rosak moe, khopoek thaih kami panoekhaih doeh kang hmatsak han, tiah tarik ih oh.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 Palungha kami loe naah maw oh? Ca tarik kami loe naah maw oh? Hae long nui ih angaek kop kami loe naah maw oh? Hae long nui palunghahaih loe Sithaw mah amthuhaih ah ni oh, tiah amtuengsak na ai maw? (aiōn g165)

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (aiōn g165)

21 Sithaw palunghahaih loe long palunghahaih mah pha thai ai pongah, long palunghahaih hoiah Sithaw panoek thai ai, Sithaw mah loe kamthu tamthanglok taphonghaih rang hoiah tanghaih tawn kaminawk pahlong hanah koeh.

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

22 Judahnawk mah loe angmathaih to pakrong o moe, Griknawk mah loe palunghahaih to pakrong o:

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

23 toe aicae loe Kri takhinghaih tamthanglok ni a thuih o, Judahnawk hanah amtimhhaih ah oh moe, Griknawk hanah loe amthuhaih ah oh;

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

24 Judahnawk hanah doeh, Gentelnawk hanah doeh, Kri loe kawk ih kaminawk hanah Sithaw thacakhaih hoi Sithaw palunghahaih ah oh.

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Sithaw amthuhaih loe kaminawk palunghahaih pongah palungha kue; Sithaw thazokhaih loe kami pongah thacak kue.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26 Nawkamyanawk, tipongah taksa ah palungha parai kaminawk, thacak parai kaminawk hoi kahoih phi kaminawk to kawk ai ah, nangcae ang kawk lathaih kawng to poek oh:

For all of you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 toe palungha kaminawk azatsak hanah, Sithaw mah long kamthu kaminawk to qoih boeh; thacak kaminawk azatsak hanah, Sithaw mah long thazok kaminawk to qoih boeh;

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 long ah kaom lokpui parai ah poek ih hmuennawk to amrosak hanah, long nui ih amtang kaminawk, patoek koi kaom kaminawk, tidoeh tawn ai kaminawk to Sithaw mah qoih boeh:

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:

29 mi kawbaktih doeh Anih hmaa ah amoek o thai han ai ah to tiah a sak.

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 Toe nangcae loe angmah rang hoiah Kri Jesu ah na oh o, anih loe Sithaw mah sak ih baktih toengah, aicae hanah palunghahaih, toenghaih, ciimcaihaih hoi akranghaih ah oh.

But of him are all of you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 To pongah, amoek kami loe Angraeng ah amoek nasoe, tiah tarik ih oh.

That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
