1 Korin 3

1 Koeinaakhqi, myihlak thlangkhqi venawh awikqawn amyihna nami venawh ap kqawn nyng, cehlai pumsak thlangkhqi venawh kqawn amyih nani kak kqawn hy, Khrih-awh nasen thlangkhqi venna kqawn amyih na.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.

2 Buh am nawh, suktui ing ni ka ni cawm khqi hun, buh nami ai thai hlan adawngawh; tuhawm am ai thai hlan uhyk ti.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able [to bear it]: nay, not even now are ye able;

3 Pumsak thlangna awm hun uhyk ti. Naming lakawh yytnaak ingkaw oelh qunaak a awm adawngawh pumsak thlangna awm unawh khawmdek thlangna am nami awm nawh nu?

for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk after the manner of men?

4 Pynoet ing, “Kai taw Paul a bawng ni,” pynoet bai ing, “Kai taw Apollo a bawng ni,” nami ti khui pumsak thlangna am nami awm nawh nu?

For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?

5 Apollo ce a u nu? Paul taw a u bai nu? Nangmih ing namik cangnaak thai aham Bawipa ing bibi a peek qip tyihzawihkhqi boeih ni.

What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.

6 Kai ing saw nyng, Apollo ing tui syp hy, cehlai ak tai sakkung taw Khawsa ni.

I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 Cedawngawh ak sawkung ingkaw ak sypkung ce ikawna am awm hy, Khawsa doeng ing ni, a cawt sak.

So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Ak sawkung ingkaw ak sypkung ang cainaak taw pynoet ni, a ni bibinaak amyihna cekqawi ing zoepeek kutdo ce hu bit kawm nih.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 Ikawtih kaimih taw Khawsa bibi pyikung na awm unyng saw; nangmih taw Khawsa lo na, Khawsa im na awm uhyk ti.

For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building.

10 Khawsam qeennaak ka venawh a ni peeknaak amyihna, im ak sa thai amyihna kai ing lung im khoeng nyng, thlak chang ing ce lungkhoeng awh im sa hy. Cehlai im ak sakung ing ikawmyihna im a sak tice ngaihta seh.

According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.

11 Ikawtih thlang pynoet ing lung a khoeng coeng awhtaw thlak chang ing ce ak khanawh lung ak chang am khoeng thai voel hy, cawhkaw lungkhoeng cetaw Jesu Khrih ni.

For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Ce lungkhoeng ak khanawh u ingawm sui, ngun, lung a phuktlo, thing, cangzing ing im a sak awhtaw,

But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;

13 thlang boeih a bibi ce dang kaw. Khawnghi ing dang law sak kaw. Maina dang law sak nawh; ce a mai ing thlang boeih a bibi ce ikawmyih bibi aw tice dang law sak kaw.

each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.

14 U myih awm cawhkaw a im sak ce ang dyih poe awhtaw, zoepeek kutdo ce hu kaw.

If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward.

15 Cehlai im ce a uih boeih awhtaw hlawng boeih kaw, amah taw loet hly hlai hy, mai kqawng anglakawhkawng ak loet amyihna awm kaw.

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

16 Khawsang Myihla nangmih ak khuiawh a awm adawngawh, nangmih taw Khawsa a bawkim na awm uhyk ti, tice am nami sim nawh nu?

Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 U ingawm Khawsa a bawkim ce a hqe awhtaw, Khawsa ing anih ce hqe lawt kaw; kawtih Khawsa a bawkim taw ciimcaih hy, cawhkaw bawkim taw nangmih ni.

If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.

18 Na mimah ingkaw na mimah koeh thai qu na uh. Nangmih anglakawh u ingawm tuh tloek awhkaw cyihnaak awh amah ingkaw amah ce thlakcyi na ang ngai qu awhtaw, thlakcyi na a awmnaak aham “thlakqaw” na awm seh. (aiōn g165)

Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)

19 Ikawtih ve khawmdek cyihnaak ve Khawsa mik huh awhtaw qawnaak nani a awm. “Thlakcyikhqi ce a mimah a thainaak awh aawk sak khqi hy,” tinawh qee amyihna,

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

20 cekcoengawh, Bawipa ing thlakcyikhqi ak poeknaak ve a hqawng a h qap nani a awm hy tice sim hy,” tinawh awm bai hy.

and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.

21 Cedawngawh, thlanghqing awh ve ikaw awm oek qu aham am awm hy! Ik-oeih boeih ve nangmih aham ni,

Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

22 Paul awm Apollo awm am awhtaw Cepha awm, khawmdek awm hqingnaak awm thihnaak awm tuh kawkkhqi awm haiben awhkawk khqi awm – nangmih boeih aham ni,

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

23 nangmih awm Khrih a koena awm u tiksaw Khrih taw Khawsa koena awm hy.

and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
