King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1Na ca daek kawng dongah huta tongpa a ben pawt te then coeng.
2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
2Tedae Cukhalnah dongah a yuu rhip khueh uh saeh lamtah a va rhip khueh uh saeh.
3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
3Huta te tongpa loh docanah neh thuung saeh. Te vanbangla huta long khaw tongpa taengah khueh van saeh.
4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
4Huta loh amah pum te a hutnah moenih. A va long ni a hutnah. Te vanbangla tongpa long khaw amah pum a hutnah moenih huta long ni a hutnah.
5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
5Kotluep la a om pawt oeh atah thangthuinah tue te na hoep phoeiah amah la koep na om uh mai mako. Te daengah ni na khoeihveetnah dongah Satan loh nangmih n'cuekcawn pawt eh.
6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
6Tedae hekah he olpaek nen pawt tih rhoirhinah nen ni ka thui.
7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
7Hlang boeih he kamah bangla om sak ham ka ngaih pataeng. Pathen taengkah kutdoe te amah ah pakhat rhip loh he he, pakhat loh ke tila rhip a khueh.
8I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
8Pumhong rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te kai bangla om uh koinih amih ham then dae ka ti.
9But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
9Tedae a kuemsuem uh pawt atah imkhueh saeh. A cahoeh lakah tah yuloh vaksak tih a om te then ngai.
10And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
10Tedae rhukom rhoek te ka uen he kai long pawt tih Boeipa long ni ng'uen.
11But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
11Huta loh a va te maa boel saeh. Tedae a maa oeh atah pumhong la tlumhmawn saeh. Te lakah atah a va te moeithen saeh lamtah a va long khaw a yuu te hnoo boel saeh.
12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
12Tedae a tloe rhoek taengah kai loh Boeipa long moenih ka ti. Manuca khat khat loh aka tangnahmueh te a yuu la a khueh tih anih te a taengah kol ham a naep atah anih te hnoo boel saeh.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
13Huta long khaw aka tangnahmueh khat khat te a va la a khueh tih tongpa long khaw anih taengah kol ham a naep atah a va te maa boel saeh.
14For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
14Aka tangnahmueh tongpa tah a yuu lamloh a ciim tih aka tangnahmueh huta tah manuca lamloh ciim coeng. Te pawt koinih na ca rhoek te rhalawt la om uh sui dae a cim la a om uh coeng he ta.
15But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us to peace.
15Tedae aka tangnahmueh loh a maa atah maa ngawn saeh. Manuca neh ngannu tah tebang dongah sal a bi sak voel moenih. Tedae rhoepnah khuila nangmih te Pathen loh n'khue coeng.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
16Huta aw tongpa te na khang ham khaw metlam na ming. tongpa aw huta te na khang ham khaw metlam na ming.
17But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
17Hlang khat rhip te Boeipa loh a tultael tih Pathen loh a khue vanbangla rhip kan uh tangloeng saeh. Te dongah ni hlangboel khuikah boeih te khaw kang uen van.
18Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
18Yahvinrhet pakhat la a khue coeng te tah paa boel saeh. Pumdul khuikah pakhat te a khue coeng atah yahvinrhet boel mai saeh.
19Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
19yahvinrhetnah te a hoeihae la om. Pumdul khaw a hoeihae la om. Tedae Pathen kah olpaek te kuem saeh.
20Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
20Khuenah khuila a khue rhoek boeih tah a khuenah dongah naeh saeh.
21Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
21Sal la n'khue vaengah nang ham na ngaihuet pawh. Tedae na loeih uh thai coeng oeh atah lat rhoidoeng uh laeh.
22For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
22Boeipa ah a khue sal pakhat te Boeipa ah hlang loeih la om. Te vanbangla aka loeih te khaw a khue coeng atah Khrih kah sal la om.
23Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
23A phu neh n'lai uh dongah hlang kah sal la om uh boeh.
24Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
24Manuca rhoek te te khuila rhip a khue. Te nen te Pathen taengah naeh saeh.
25Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
25Oila ham te tah Boeipa kah olpaek ka khueh pawh. Tedae a rhen tangtae vanbangla Boeipa dongah uepom la om ham poeknah ka paek.
26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say , that it is good for a man so to be.
26A kueknah te ha pai coeng dongah a then la om he ka poek van. Te tlam te hlang taengah a then la om tangloeng saeh.
27Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
27Na yuu la a samtom te paekrhanah tlap boeh. Yuu te na hlak atah yuu tlap voel boeh.
28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
28Tedae na yunah van atah na tholh moenih. Oila long khaw va a sak atah a tholh moenih. Tedae tebang te pumsa ah phacip phabaem la om ni. Te dongah kai loh nangmih kan hlun.
29But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
29Manuca rhoek, hekah he ka thui dae a tue loh tok coeng. Tahae lamkah tah yuu aka khueh khaw aka khueh pawt banglam a om pueng eh.
30And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
30Aka rhap long te khaw aka rhap pawt bangla, aka omngaih long khaw aka omngaih pawt bangla, aka lai long khaw aka khueh pawt bangla,
31And they that use this world, as not abusing it : for the fashion of this world passeth away.
31Diklai aka hnonah rhoek lawn boeh. Diklai kah he tah a suisak khum coeng.
32But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
32Tedae nangmih te bidip la om sak ka ngaih. Pumhong loh Boeipa te kolo sak ham Boeipa kah bitat dongah mawn saeh.
33But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
33Tedae rhukom tah a yuu te kolo sak ham Diklai kah bitat dongah mawn saeh.
34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
34Tedae a cikok dongah pumhong nu long khaw, oila long khaw Boeipa kah bitat dongah mawn saeh. Te daengah ni pum neh mueihla ah khaw a cim la a om eh. Tedae rhukom nu tah a va te kolo sak ham Diklai kah bitat dongah mawn saeh.
35And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
35Nangmih te amah rhoeikhang ham ka thui coeng he. Nangmih te kuiokrhui kan sui thil moenih. Tedae Boeipa te a koihhilh neh liplip ngaan sak ham ni ka thui.
36But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
36Tedae pakhat loh a oila nah te savek tih suiham la a om khaw a poek khaming. Te vaengah a kuek aka om van te tah a ngaih bangla rhoi sak. A tholh moenih yuva uh rhoi saeh.
37Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
37Tedae a thinko ah khak aka pai te tah a kueknah a om moenih. Amah a kongaih kawng dongah saithainah a khueh ngawn. He tla ko a taam khaw a oila te tuem ham ni a thinko ah balh a saii coeng.
38So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
38Te dongah amah kah oila aka bae tah balh a saii coeng. Yuloh neh vasak pawt long khaw a then ni a saii.
39The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
39Huta tah a hing tue khuiah a va loh a pin. Tedae a va te a duek atah aka loeih la om coeng tih a ngaih te tah Boeipa ming neh dawk vanah saeh.
40But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
40Tedae kai kah kopoek bangla om mai koinih a yoethen ni. Kai long khaw Pathen kah Mueihla a khueh tila ka poek.
