1 Corinthians 16

1 Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.

Khawsak thlangkhqi caawinaak awh ve: Galatia thlangboel a venawh sai aham kak kqawn peek amyihna nangmih ingawm sai lawt lah uh.

2 On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.

Khawnghi khqih nyn awhkaw khawnghi lamma cyk awh, nangmih boeih ing tangka nami huh ak khuiawh kawng hoep unawh, cun uh, kai ka law awh ce tangka cawi koeh ngaih voel seh nyng.

3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.

Kai ka pha law awh ce, nangmih ing namik tyh thlang ce capat ing Jerusalem na nangmih a kutdo ce thak sak bit kawng nyng.

4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.

Kai awm ceh aham ka awm awhtaw cekkhqi mi cet haih vang nyng.

5 I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.

Makedonia qam awhkawng nangmih a venna law kawng – Ikawtih Makedonia qam awhkawng ni ka ceh hly.

6 But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.

Nangmih a venawh a khoeh taw awm hyn mai kawng, chikca khuiawh taw nangmih a venawh awm mai kawng nyng, cawhni nangmih ing hana ka ceh awh awm lam lak awh nami ni bawm hly thai hy.

7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.

Tuh taw nangmih huh aham ngaih hlan nyng saw nik kankhqi hun nyng: Bawipa ing tyng hy a ti awhtaw, nangmih a venawh awm hun kawng, tinawh ngaih-u nyng.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,

Cehlai Efisa khaw awh Pentikost nyn dy awm kawng nyng,

9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

cawh kai aham a phu ak awm bibi thainaak aham chawh awng qu hy, cehlai kai anik oelh awm thlang khawzah awm hy.

10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

Timote a law awhtaw, nangmih a venawh a awm awh kqihnaak ama taaknaak aham ak nepna toek law uh, anih ingawm kai amyihna ni Bawipa bi ce a bi lawt hy.

11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.

U ingawm anih ce a do kaana awm aham am awm hy. Ka ven a pha lawnaak tlaih aham ak nepna tyi law uh. Anih ingkaw Koeinaakhqi ce kai ing a nang ngaih-u kawng.

12 Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

Ni koeinaa Apollo akawng: Koeinaakhqi mi nangmih a venna ceh aham anih ce kai ing kqawn pe nyng. Tuh awhtaw ceh aham am ngaih ngai hyn hy, cehlai a hoengnaak awh law bit kaw.

13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

Ak nepna ngaihta uh; cangnaak awh ak cak na dyi uh; pacawng thin ak cak na awm unawh, namik tha awm sak uh.

14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Ik-oeih soepkep lungnaak ing sai law uh.

15 Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—

Stephana ipkhui khaw taw Akhaia qam khui awh ak cangnaak lamnacyk na awm uhy tice sim uhyk ti, a mingmih taw thlakciimkhqi a bibinaak awh cak uhy. Koeinaakhqi, awi ni yn khqi nyng,

16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

a mingmih amyihna bi ak bikhqi ce bawng unawh, bibi law uh.

17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.

Stephana, Fortunata ingkaw Akhaika mi ami pha law awh ce, nangmih a voet hlauhnaak ce a mingmih ing a ni bawm khqi dawngawh zeel nyng.

18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.

A mingmih ing kai ingkaw nangmih awm ni caih sak khqi hy. Vemih ak thlangkhqi taw ym aham awm hy.

19 The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.

Asia qam awhkaw thlangboelkhqi ing kut nim tu uhy. Akuila ingkaw Priskili ing Bawipa awh zeel doena kut nim tuk khqi hy, a im awh amik cun thlangboel ingawm kut nim tuk khqi hy.

20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Vawh amik awm koeinaakhqi boeih ing kut nim tuk khqi hy. Pynoet ingkaw pynoet ak ciimcaih mawknaak ing mawk qu lah uh.

21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.

Kai, Paul ing kamah a kut qoe ing ve kut tunaak ca ve qee law nyng.

22 If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

U ingawm Bawipa ce ama lungnaak awhtaw – anih ak khanawh seetnaak awm seh. Aw Bawipa, law lah!

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Bawipa Jesu am qeennaak nangmih ak khanawh awm seh.

24 My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Khrih Jesu awh nangmih boeih boeih ni lung nak khqi nyng. Amen.
