1Sithaw koehhhaih baktiah patoeh ih kami ah oh hanah, Jesu Kri mah kawk ih Pawl hoi aicae nawkamya Sothena loe,
1Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,
2Kri Jesu rang hoiah zaehaih ciim boeh moe, kaciim kami ah kawk ih, Korin vangpui ah kaom Sithaw kricaabunawk, ahmuen kruekah nihcae hoi aicae ih, Angraeng Jesu Kri hmin kawk kaminawk boih:
2To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
3aicae ampa Sithaw, Angraeng Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi angdaehhaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe.
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4Kri Jesu rang hoiah Sithaw tahmenhaih nangcae khaeah paek boeh pongah, nangcae zuengah Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih toepsoep;
4I always thank my God for you because of the grace He has given you in Christ Jesus.
5lokthuihaih hoi panoekhaih boih ah, Anih rang hoi hmuen boih ah na koep o boeh;
5For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,
6ka thuih ih Kri tamthanglok doeh nangcae khaeah caksak boeh:
6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
7to pongah aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri angzoh lethaih na zing o naah, tangqum maeto doeh pathlong ai ah na oh o:
7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri ih niah coek koi om ai ah na oh o thai hanah, boeng khoek to Anih mah na cak o sak tih.
8He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9Sithaw loe oepthoh, Anih rang hoiah ni a Capa, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri hoi angkom hanah nangcae to ang kawk.
9God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
10Nawkamyanawk, nangcae salakah ampraekhaih oh han ai ah, lok maeto ah na thuih o moe, poekhaih maeto tawnh pacoengah, lok na takroek o hanah, aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri hmin hoiah kang pacae o.
10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction.
11Nawkamyanawk, nangcae thungah lok angaekhaih oh ti, tiah Khaloe imthung takohnawk mah ang thuih o.
11My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.
12Nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk mah, Kai loe Pawl ih kami ni, kai loe Apollo ih kami ni, kai loe Kipha ih kami ni, kai loe Kri ih kami ni, tiah thuih o pongah, vaihi hae lok hae kang thuih o.
12What I mean is this: Individuals among you are saying, “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.”
13Kri loe ampraek phang maw? Nangcae zuengah Pawl maw takhing o? To ai tih boeh loe Pawl ih ahmin hoiah maw tuinuemhaih na hnuk o?
13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
14Krispa hoi Kaia thui ai ah, nangcae thung ih kami maeto doeh tuinuemhaih kang paek o ai pongah, Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih;
14I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15To tih ai nahaeloe minawk mah kaimah ih ahmin hoiah tuinuemhaih ka paek, tiah thui o moeng tih.
15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name.
16Stephen cakawhnawk doeh tuinuemhaih ka paek: nihcae ai ah loe kalah kaminawk tuinuem paekhaih ka panoek ai.
16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that I do not remember if I baptized anyone else.
17Kri mah tuinuem hanah na patoeh ai, lokthui kophaih hoiah lok taphong hanah doeh na patoeh ai, kahoih tamthanglok taphong han ih ni ang patoeh; to tih ai nahaeloe Kri ih thinglam to azom pui ah om moeng tih.
17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
18Thinglam tamthanglok loe anghmaa kaminawk hanah amthuhaih ah oh; toe aicae pahlong caanawk hanah loe Sithaw thacakhaih ah oh.
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19Palungha kami palunghahaih to kam rosak moe, khopoek thaih kami panoekhaih doeh kang hmatsak han, tiah tarik ih oh.
19For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20Palungha kami loe naah maw oh? Ca tarik kami loe naah maw oh? Hae long nui ih angaek kop kami loe naah maw oh? Hae long nui palunghahaih loe Sithaw mah amthuhaih ah ni oh, tiah amtuengsak na ai maw?
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21Sithaw palunghahaih loe long palunghahaih mah pha thai ai pongah, long palunghahaih hoiah Sithaw panoek thai ai, Sithaw mah loe kamthu tamthanglok taphonghaih rang hoiah tanghaih tawn kaminawk pahlong hanah koeh.
21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
22Judahnawk mah loe angmathaih to pakrong o moe, Griknawk mah loe palunghahaih to pakrong o:
22Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,
23toe aicae loe Kri takhinghaih tamthanglok ni a thuih o, Judahnawk hanah amtimhhaih ah oh moe, Griknawk hanah loe amthuhaih ah oh;
23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
24Judahnawk hanah doeh, Gentelnawk hanah doeh, Kri loe kawk ih kaminawk hanah Sithaw thacakhaih hoi Sithaw palunghahaih ah oh.
24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25Sithaw amthuhaih loe kaminawk palunghahaih pongah palungha kue; Sithaw thazokhaih loe kami pongah thacak kue.
25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
26Nawkamyanawk, tipongah taksa ah palungha parai kaminawk, thacak parai kaminawk hoi kahoih phi kaminawk to kawk ai ah, nangcae ang kawk lathaih kawng to poek oh:
26Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.
27toe palungha kaminawk azatsak hanah, Sithaw mah long kamthu kaminawk to qoih boeh; thacak kaminawk azatsak hanah, Sithaw mah long thazok kaminawk to qoih boeh;
27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28long ah kaom lokpui parai ah poek ih hmuennawk to amrosak hanah, long nui ih amtang kaminawk, patoek koi kaom kaminawk, tidoeh tawn ai kaminawk to Sithaw mah qoih boeh:
28He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,
29mi kawbaktih doeh Anih hmaa ah amoek o thai han ai ah to tiah a sak.
29so that no one may boast in His presence.
30Toe nangcae loe angmah rang hoiah Kri Jesu ah na oh o, anih loe Sithaw mah sak ih baktih toengah, aicae hanah palunghahaih, toenghaih, ciimcaihaih hoi akranghaih ah oh.
30It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
31To pongah, amoek kami loe Angraeng ah amoek nasoe, tiah tarik ih oh.
31Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
