1Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
1Nawkamyanawk, Muithla kaminawk khaeah thuih ih lok baktiah nangcae khaeah lok ka thui thai ai, toe taksa ah kaom kaminawk, Kri ah tahnu nae nawktanawk khaeah thuih ih lok baktiah ni kang thuih o.
2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,
2Buh kaham na caa o thai ai pongah, buh ai ah tahnutui hoiah ni kang com o: vaihi doeh na caa o thai ai vop.
3for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
3Vaihi doeh taksa ah ni na oh o vop: nangcae salakah uthaih, angzoehhaih, ampraekhaihnawk to oh, taksa kami ah na oh o pongah na ai maw, taksa kaminawk baktiah kho na sak o?
4For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
4Maeto mah, Kai loe Pawl ih kami ni, kalah maeto mah, kai loe Apollo ih kami ni, tiah na thuih o nathung long taksa ah kaom kami ah na ai maw na oh o vop?
5What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.
5Pawl loe mi aa, Apollo loe mi aa, nihnik loe Angraeng mah paek ih baktih toengah, tanghaih na tawnh o hanah toksah kami ah na ai maw a oh hoi?
6I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
6Kai mah patit, Apollo mah tui bawh; toe qoengsakkung loe Sithaw ni.
7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
7To pongah qoengsakkung Sithaw ai ah loe, patii kami hoi tui bawh kami loe tidoeh na ai ni.
8He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
8Patii kami hoi tuipaek kami loe maeto ni: mi kawbaktih doeh a sak ih tok baktih toengah toksakhaih atho to hnu tih.
9For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
9Aicae loe Sithaw hoi nawnto toksah kami ah a oh o: nangcae loe Sithaw toksakhaih ahmuen ah na oh o moe, Sithaw im ah ni na oh o.
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
10Kai khaeah paek ih Sithaw tahmenhaih baktih toengah, palungha im sahkung baktiah kai mah imhmuen to ka raemh, kalah kami mah to ahmuen ah im to sak. Toe to imhmuen nuiah kawbangmaw im a sak, tito kami boih mah acoe nasoe.
11For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11Raemh tangcae imhmuen baktiah mi mah doeh kalah imhmuen to raemh thai mak ai boeh, to imhmuen loe Jesu Kri ni.
12If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
12Kami mah raemh tangcae imhmuen nuiah sui maw, sum kanglung maw, atho kana thlung maw, thing maw, caphaeh maw, phroh hoiah maw im to sah nahaeloe,
13his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.
13amtuenghaih niah loe, kami boih mah sak ih tok to hmai hoiah amtuengsak tih; kami boih mah sak ih tok loe kawbaktih tok maw, tito hmai hoiah tanoekhaih to om tih.
14If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
14Mi kawbaktih doeh Anih mah raemh tangcae imhmuen nuiah im sah nahaeloe, cak poe tih, to kami loe tangqum to hnu tih.
15If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
15Mi kawbaktih mah doeh a sak ih tok to hmai mah kangh pae ving nahaeloe, anih loe sung tih: toe hmai thung hoi loih baktih toengah, angmah to loe pahlonghaih hnu tih.
16Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
16Nangcae loe Sithaw ih tempul ah na oh o, nangcae thungah Sithaw ih Muithla oh, tito na panoek o ai maw?
17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
17Mi kawbaktih doeh Sithaw ih tempul amhnongsak kami loe, Sithaw mah paro tih; Sithaw ih tempul loe ciimcai, to tempul loe nangcae ni.
18Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.
18Mi kawbaktih doeh angmah hoi angmah angling hmah nasoe. Nangcae thungah kami maeto mah angmah hoi angmah kai loe hae long nuiah palungha kami ah ka oh, tiah poek nahaeloe, palungha kami ah a oh thai hanah, kamthu baktiah om nasoe.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
19Hae long nui palunghahaih loe Sithaw hmaa ah amthuhaih ah ni oh. Anih mah palungha kaminawk to angmacae palunghahaih hoiah naeh, tiah cabu thungah tarik ih oh.
20And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
20Angraeng mah, Palungha kaminawk ih poekhaih loe azom pui ni, tito panoek, tiah tarik ih o let bae vop.
21Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
21To pongah mi kawbaktih doeh kaminawk nuiah amoek hmah nasoe. Hmuen boih loe nangcae ih ni.
22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
22Paul maw, to tih ai boeh loe Apollo maw, to tih ai boeh loe Kipha maw, to tih ai boeh loe hae long maw, to tih ai boeh loe hinghaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe duekhaih maw, to tih ai boeh loe vaihi ah kaom hmuennawk maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaom han koi hmuennawk maw, hmuennawk boih loe nangcae ih ni;
23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
23nangcae loe Kri kami ah na oh o, Kri loe Sithaw ih ni.
