1 Corinthians 1
1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
Rangte tenthun jun ih Jisu liphante raang ih poon arah Pool nyia seng phono Sosthens jiin nawa-
2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:
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:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih tenthet minchan nyia semroongroong raang ih romse toom tam kohan.
4 I always thank my God concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Jisu Kristo jun ih sen suh romse tamkot raangtaan saarookwet ih nga Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.
5 that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge—
Sen loong ah Kristo jun ih jirep adi changteng ih hoon lan, mongtham nyia jengkhaap kongkhaap ni nep ah.
6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you—
Kristo tiitkhaap ah sendam di erah than ih jatthuk halan,
7 so that you come behind in no gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
sen ih esiit taan uh romse tamkot ah lachoh tah angkan, seng Teesu Kristo dong ra bansok han jun ih ah.
8 who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rangthoon doh uh sen loong ah rongtangtang ih thiinhan, tiimnge liidoh seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ngaakrak Rangwu doh rangdah pan naktoom ang an.
9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hesah seng Teesu Jisu Kristo damdoh roongroop suh Rangte ih poon tahan loong ah ih Rangte ah ehanpi ejih.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
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.
11 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.
Ngaaphoh ngaano loong Klos jaatang ih saasa ih baatrum halang, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui je lan.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” and, “I follow Christ.”
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.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
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?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
Sen loong ah ngah ih o uh ju temmuh, Krispas nyia Gaius luulu ba juutem tahan, erah thoidi Rangte suh lakookmi liihang.
15 so that no one should say that I had baptized you into my own name.
Erah raangtaan ih o ih uh tajen liika sen loong ah nga liphante raang ih juutem tan. (
16 (I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)
Em elang ih ah, Stephenas nyia heh jaatang uh ngah ih juutem rumtang; enoothong wahoh juutem bah ngah ih tasamthun kang.)
17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words, so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.
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.
18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Erah raangtaan ih Kristo bangphak ni tektiit ah matte loong ah raang ih thaangmuh; enoothong seng o khopi li raang ebah Rangte chaan aphaan.
19 For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise. I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”
Rangteele ni liiha, [Ngah ih jatwah jeewah mongtham thet haat ih ang nyia ejat emi thung atak loong ah ehoh nah thiin ang.]
20 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)
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)
21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.
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.
22 For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,
Jehudi loong ah mih paatjaajih ah jatjoot esuh jamta, eno Grik loong ah ih mongtham ese ah jamta.
23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,
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;
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;
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.
25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Tiimnge Rangte emoklak ih adi uh mina mongtham nang ih ejatthoon, nyia Rangte naangtek ah mina nang ih luuchaan.
26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;
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.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.
Rangte ih jatririh di mina ih thaangmuh liiha ah jatwah jeewah rakrek thuk suh nyia changthih noodek ah ehang echaan rakrek thuksuh danjeeta.
28 God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,
Mongrep mina ih thiikkhoh thiik ha loong ah thetsiit thuk suh thaangju kaanse thiik ha nyia chiik haat ha loong ah Rangte ih danjeeha
29 that no flesh should boast before God.
Erah langla Rangte ngathong nah o uh tajen khuupookka.
30 Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
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.
31 that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”
Erah raangtaan ih Rangteele ni liiha, [O khuupook esuh li abah Teesu ih tiim mokala erah suh khuupook theng.]
