1 Korin 1

1 Khawsa a ngaihnaak amyihna Jesu Khrih a ceityih na ak awm Paul ingkaw ni koeinaa Sosthenas ing,

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

2 Korin khaw awh ak awm Khawsa a thlangboel ingkaw, Jesu Khrih awh ciimcaih sak na awm nawh ak ciimcaih na awm aham ak khy thlangkhqi, hun hoei awh a mingmih ingkaw ningnih a Boei – ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang ming ak khy thlangkhqi boeih a venawh:

To 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 theirs and ours.

3 Pa Khawsa ingkaw Bawipa Jesu Khrih a ven awhkaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihdingnaak awm seh.

Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Jesu Khrih ak caming nangmih a venawh a ni peek khqi am qeennaak awh nangmih aham Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa nyng.

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

5 Amah awh ce nangmih taw ik-oeih soepkep awh boei uhyk ti – awi kqawnnaak boeih ingkaw cyihnaak soepkep awh –

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;

6 kaimih ing Khrih akawng ka mik kqawn law ce nangmih awh ce cak hawh hy.

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 Cedawngawh nangmih ing ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang dangnaak nyn ce naming lamtoen awh myihla zoepeek kutdo ik-oeih voet hlauhnaak qoe qoe am ta voel uhyk ti.

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

8 Ningmih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih a kawnyn awh nangmih taw coet ak kap na am nami awmnaak aham, amah ing a dyt dyna thaawmnaak ni pek khqi bit kaw.

Who will also confirm you to the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Khawsa capa, ni Bawipa Jesu Khrih khawsaknaak haih a nik khy khqi taw ypawm hy.

God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih anglakawh phekbonaak ama awmnaak aham pynoet ingkaw pynoet kawpoek kutoet na ta unawh kawlung pynoet poeknaak pynoet ing nami cuui aham ni Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang ming ing qeennaak ni thoeh lawk khqi nyng.

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

11 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih anglakawh oelh qunaak awm hy, tinawh Khalo ipkhui khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi ing kqawn law uhy.

For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them [who are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Kak kqawn ngaihnaak taw veni: Nangmih anglakawh thlangvang ing, “Kai taw Paul a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti, thlangvang bai ing, “Kai taw Apollo a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti, ak chang khqi bai ing, “Kai taw Cepha a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti, a chang bai ing, “Kai taw Khrih a bawng ni,” ti uhyk ti.

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

13 Khrih ve phek ang bo qunawh nu? Paul aw nangmih aham thinglam awh a mi tai? Paul ang ming awh aw baptisma nami huh?

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

14 Krispa ingkaw Gaia doeng am taw u awm baptisma am ka ni peek khqi a dawngawh zeel nyng.

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

15 Cedawngawh kai ang ming awh baptisma ak hu u awm am awm hy.

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

16 (Oeih, Stefen ipkhui khaw ce baptisma pe bai nyng; cekcoengawh, thlak chang baptisma ka peek ak awm hy voei nu, am sim nyng.)

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

17 Ikawtih Khrih ing baptisma peek aham amni tyi hy, awithang leek ak khypyi aham ni a ni tyih – thlanghqing a cyihnaak awi ing amni, cawh mantaw Khrih thinglam sai thainaak ce a hqawng na awm hawh kaw.

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

18 Thinglam awithang taw ak qeeng huikhqi aham qawnaak na awm nawh, hulna ak awm hui ningnihkhqi aham taw Khawsa thaawmnaak na awm hy.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

19 “Thlakcyikhqi a cyihnaak ce hqe kawng nyng saw; kawpoek ak cyikhqi ak poeknaak ce hoet kawng nyng,” tinawh qee hyt awm hawh hy.

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

20 Thlakcyi hana nu? Cak qeekung hana nu? Ve khawmdek awh ak oelhkung ce hana nu? Khawsa ing khawmdek cyihnaak ce qawnaak tinawh am dang sak nawh nu? (aiōn g165)

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

21 Khawsa a cyihnaak ve khawmdek cyihnaak ing ama pha dawngawh amah ce am sim thai hy, qawnaak awi khypyinaak ak caming ak cangnaak thlangkhqi hul na a awmnaak awh Khawsa taw ak kaw zeel hy.

For when 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 Judakhqi ing kawpoek kyi hatnaak ce ngaih uhy, Greekkhqi ing cyihnaak,

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

23 cehlai ningnih ingtaw Khrih thinglam awi ce nik khypyi uhy: ve ak awi ve Judakhqi ang bahnaak na awm nawh Gentelkhqi a qawnaak na awm hy,

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

24 cehlai Khawsa ing ak khykhqi aham taw, Juda awm Greek awm, Khrih taw Khawsa ak thaawmnaak na a awm dawngawh, Khawsa a cyihnaak na awm hy.

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

25 Ikawtih Khawsa a qawnaak taw thlanghqing a cyihnaak anglakawh cyi bet nawh, Khawsa ak tha ama awmnaak taw thlanghqing ak tha awmnaak anglakawh ak tha awm bet hy.

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

26 Koeinaakhqi, nangmih khy na nami awm awh ikawmyihna nami awm tice poek lah uh. Thlanghqing a huh awhtaw nangmih ak khuiawh thlakcyi khawzah am awm uhyk ti; thlang ak khanawh ak awm khawzah am awm uhyk ti; qypawm ipkhui awh ak awm thlang khawzah am awm bai uhyk ti.

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]:

27 Cehlai thlakcyi chah sak aham Khawsa ing khawmdek awh ak qawkhqi ce tyk nawh; tha ak awmkhqi chah sak aham khawmdek awh tha amak awmkhqi ce tyk hy.

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

28 Ve khawmdek awh ak kaina ak awmkhqi ingkaw thlang ing a thenaak khqi – ik-oeih ak awmkhqi ce hqe aham –

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

29 u awm a haiawh amang oek qu aham amak awm ik-oeihkhqi ce tyk hy.

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

30 Anih ak caming nangmih taw Jesu Khrih ak khuiawh awm uhyk ti, anih ce ningnih aham Khawsa ven awhkaw cyihnaak na awm hy – cetaw ningnih aham dyngnaak, ciimnaak ingkaw hulnaak na awm hy.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 Cedawngawh, U awm ak oek qu ingtaw Bawipa awh oek qu seh,” tinawh a qee awm hawh hy.

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