1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.
Manuca rhoek, kai tah nangmih te mueihla hlang bangla ka thui ham a coeng moenih. Tedae pumsa hlang, Khrih ah cahmang rhoek bangla kam voek.
2 I fed you with milk, not with solid food, for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
Nangmih te suktui ni kan tul. Na coeng uh hlan dongah buhhap kan cah moenih. Tahae due khaw na coeng uh moenih.
3 for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?
Pumsa la na khuiah thatlainah, tohhaemnah dongah na om uh pueng. Pumsa la na om uh tih hlang dongah na pongpa uh pawt nim?
4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?
Pakhat loh, “Kai tah Paul kah ni, a tloe long khaw, “Kai tah Apollos kah,” tila na thui vaengah hlang la na om uh mahnim?
5 Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?
Te dongah Apollos tah metlam a om? Paul tah metlam a om? Boeipa loh a paek vanbangla te rhoek lamlong ni tueihyoeih rhoek te rhip na tangnah uh.
6 I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.
Kai loh ka phung tih Apollos loh a suep dae Pathen long ni a rhoeng sak.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
Te dongah aka phung te a tloe moenih, aka suep tah a tloe la a om moenih. Tedae te tah Pathen long ni a rhoeng sak.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
Aka phung neh aka suep tah pakhat la a om dongah a thakthaenah bangla a thapang rhip a dang ni.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
Pathen lohmuen ah Pathen kah bibipuei la ka om uh tih Pathen kah a imsak la na om uh.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
Pathen kah lungvatnah kai m'paek lamloh aka cueih imsakung bangla khoengim ka tloeng. A tloe loh a tlingtlawn thil dae metla a tlingtlawn khaw rhip hmu nawn saeh.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Khoengim aka sut Jesuh Khrih amah a om phoeiah a tloe loh sut ham a coeng moenih.
12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Tedae khat khat loh khoengim te sui, ngun, lungthen, thing, khopol, cangkong, dongah a sak atah,
13 each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.
khat rhip kah khoboe tah mingpha la om vetih a khohnin loh a thuicaih bitni. Hmai te a pumphoe pah coeng dongah khat rhip kah khoboe te metla a om khaw hmai mah loh a nuemnai bitni.
14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.
Pakhat kah a khueng te a bitat a kuei atah thapang a dang ni.
15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.
Pakhat kah a bisai te a tlum atah sungdaeh ni. Tedae amah ngawntah hmai lamloh a loeih vanbangla a khang van ni.
16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?
Pathen kah bawkim la na om uh tih Pathen Mueihla loh nangmih khuiah a kol te na ming uh moenih a?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are.
Pakhat long ni Pathen kah bawkim te a poeih atah anih te Pathen loh a poeih ni. Pathen kah bawkim tah cim ta. Te tah nangmih ni.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Pakhat khaw amah neh amah hoilae uh boel saeh. Nangmih khuikah khat khat loh ta kumhal ah hlang cueih la om ham a poek atah hlang ang la om dae saeh. Te daengah ni hlang cueih la a om eh. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
Diklai cueihnah tah Pathen taengah angnah la om. A daek tangtae dongah, aka cueih rhoek te amih kah rhaithinah neh a khum.
20 And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Te phoeiah aka cueih rhoek kah poeknah he a honghi la a coeng te Boeipa loh koep a ming.
21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
A cungluem he nangmih ham a om coeng dongah hlang dongah tah pomsang tangloeng boel saeh.
22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
Paul khaw, Apollos khaw, Kephas khaw, Diklai khaw, hingnah khaw, dueknah khaw, aka pai nawn khaw, hmailong khaw, nangmih kah boeih ni.
23 and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
Nangmih khaw Khrih kah tih Khrih khaw Pathen kah ni.
