1 Khawrin 3

1 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.

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ;

2 Nangmih te suktui ni kan tul. Na coeng uh hlan dongah buhhap kan cah moenih. Tahae due khaw na coeng uh moenih.

with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able,

3 Pumsa la na khuiah thatlainah, tohhaemnah dongah na om uh pueng. Pumsa la na om uh tih hlang dongah na pongpa uh pawt nim?

for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men?

4 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?

For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?

5 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.

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave?

6 Kai loh ka phung tih Apollos loh a suep dae Pathen long ni a rhoeng sak.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

7 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.

so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;

8 Aka phung neh aka suep tah pakhat la a om dongah a thakthaenah bangla a thapang rhip a dang ni.

and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,

9 Pathen lohmuen ah Pathen kah bibipuei la ka om uh tih Pathen kah a imsak la na om uh.

for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.

10 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.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid a foundation, and another builds on [it],

11 Khoengim aka sut Jesuh Khrih amah a om phoeiah a tloe loh sut ham a coeng moenih.

for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

12 Tedae khat khat loh khoengim te sui, ngun, lungthen, thing, khopol, cangkong, dongah a sak atah,

and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—

13 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.

the work will become visible of each, for the day will declare [it], because it is revealed in fire, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire will prove;

14 Pakhat kah a khueng te a bitat a kuei atah thapang a dang ni.

if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage;

15 Pakhat kah a bisai te a tlum atah sungdaeh ni. Tedae amah ngawntah hmai lamloh a loeih vanbangla a khang van ni.

if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

16 Pathen kah bawkim la na om uh tih Pathen Mueihla loh nangmih khuiah a kol te na ming uh moenih a?

Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 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.

If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.

18 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)

Let no one deceive himself; if anyone seems to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise, (aiōn g165)

19 Diklai cueihnah tah Pathen taengah angnah la om. A daek tangtae dongah, aka cueih rhoek te amih kah rhaithinah neh a khum.

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”;

20 Te phoeiah aka cueih rhoek kah poeknah he a honghi la a coeng te Boeipa loh koep a ming.

and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.”

21 A cungluem he nangmih ham a om coeng dongah hlang dongah tah pomsang tangloeng boel saeh.

So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

22 Paul khaw, Apollos khaw, Kephas khaw, Diklai khaw, hingnah khaw, dueknah khaw, aka pai nawn khaw, hmailong khaw, nangmih kah boeih ni.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours,

23 Nangmih khaw Khrih kah tih Khrih khaw Pathen kah ni.

and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.
