1 Corinthians 2
1 When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
Nga joonte loong sen jiinni Rangte husah tiit baatkaat suh ra tahang adi, ngah ih echeh echaan jengkhaap nyia jatwah jeewah tiit tabaat tang.
2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
Tiimnge liidi ngah sen damdi angtang adoh, nga tenthun ni jihoh samthun muh, Jisu Kristo bangphak ni tekrapbot tiit ba samthun tang.
3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
Erah thoidi sen taang ni ra tahang adoh ngah larook lata nyia echo etang,
4 My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
eno ngah ih mina jatwah mongtham jengkhaap nawa ih nyootsoot muh, Rangte moong achaang chaan tiit ah ba baattang.
5 that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Erah raangtaan ih sen laalom ah mina mongtham jun ih tah angka, Rangte chaan aphaan jun doh ang theng.
6 We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing. (aiōn g165)
Erabah uh ngah ih jatwah mongtham ah chiiala tiit rapniine ih jat ha loong asuh baattang. Enoothong erah jatwah mongtham ah arah mongrep dowa tah angka, adoleh arah mongrep ah pante suh tah angka—chaan aphaan neng neng chaan aphaan matsiitte. (aiōn g165)
7 But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory, (aiōn g165)
Ngah ih baat hang abah Rangte ih mina suh lajat thukthang ih huthiinha Rangte mongtham tiit ah baat hang, enoothong mongrep maang dongsiitka jaakhoh ni dook seng loong rangka thuk suh danje thiinta. (aiōn g165)
8 which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory. (aiōn g165)
Arah mongrep pante loongdung dowa ih o ih uh arah mongtham tiit ah tajatka. Neng loong ah ih erah ah jatdoh bah, mabah uh chaan aphaan Teesu ah tah tekrapbot theng rumta. (aiōn g165)
9 But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”
Enoothong, Rangteele ni liiha, [Mabah uh mina ih latupka rah nyia lathaak chaatka rah, o ih uh mabah lathaak thunka rah ang ah, erah loong ah heh moongnook loong asuh ban khookhamha.]
10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
Enoothong Rangte ih Chiiala jun ih husah tiit ah seng loong asuh jatthuk hali. Chiiala ih jirep ah jenjam ah, Rangte ih husah ni huthiinha ah botseh heh ih jat ah.
11 For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
Mina sak dowa heteewah moong achaang ah ih heh teewah tiit ah jat ha; erah likhiik ih Rangte moong achaang ah ih Rangte tiit ah jat ha.
12 But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
Seng ih mongrep moong achaang tachoke; erah nang ebah, Rangte ih tiimkoh hali erah jatthuk suh Rangte ih kohali moong achaang ah thaang hi.
13 We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
Erah thoidi, mina mongtham nawa ih nyoot he rah tajengke, erah nang ebah Chiiala ih nyoot he rah tiit ah jengli, erah amiisak moong achaang tiit ah Moongte Chaangte loong asuh baat hi.
14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him; and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
O jiinni Chiiala lajeeka, Rangte Chiiala jun ih koha ranglakkot ah tachoka. Erah likhiik mina ih amiisak ih ranglakkot ah tajatka; erah likhiik mina raang ih ranglakkot ah thaangmuh, tiimnge liidoh heh teewah tiit ah moong achaang jun ih jat ha.
15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is to be judged by no one.
Enoothong, o Chiiala pan ah, erah ih ba jirep ah jen danje ah, eno o ih uh heh tajen dandeeka.
16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he should instruct him?” But we have Christ’s mind.
Rangteele ni liiha, [Teesu thung atak ah o ih jen jat ah? O ih heh jen renbaat ah?] Enoothong, seng taang ni Kristo thung atak ah jeeroh ela.
