١ كورنثوس 15

١ 1 وَأُعَرِّفُكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ بِٱلْإِنْجِيلِ ٱلَّذِي بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ، وَقَبِلْتُمُوهُ، وَتَقُومُونَ فِيهِ،

Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel that I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,

٢ 2 وَبِهِ أَيْضًا تَخْلُصُونَ، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَذْكُرُونَ أَيُّ كَلَامٍ بَشَّرْتُكُمْ بِهِ. إِلَّا إِذَا كُنْتُمْ قَدْ آمَنْتُمْ عَبَثًا!

and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the message that I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

٣ 3 فَإِنَّنِي سَلَّمْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ٱلْأَوَّلِ مَا قَبِلْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا: أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مَاتَ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَانَا حَسَبَ ٱلْكُتُبِ،

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

٤ 4 وَأَنَّهُ دُفِنَ، وَأَنَّهُ قَامَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حَسَبَ ٱلْكُتُبِ،

that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

٥ 5 وَأَنَّهُ ظَهَرَ لِصَفَا ثُمَّ لِلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the twelve.

٦ 6 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ظَهَرَ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِمِئَةِ أَخٍ، أَكْثَرُهُمْ بَاقٍ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ. وَلَكِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَدْ رَقَدُوا.

Next he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, but some have fallen asleep.

٧ 7 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ظَهَرَ لِيَعْقُوبَ، ثُمَّ لِلرُّسُلِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

Next he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

٨ 8 وَآخِرَ ٱلْكُلِّ - كَأَنَّهُ لِلسِّقْطِ - ظَهَرَ لِي أَنَا.

Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time, he appeared to me as well.

٩ 9 لِأَنِّي أَصْغَرُ ٱلرُّسُلِ، أَنَا ٱلَّذِي لَسْتُ أَهْلًا لِأَنْ أُدْعَى رَسُولًا، لِأَنِّي ٱضْطَهَدْتُ كَنِيسَةَ ٱللهِ.

For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ بِنِعْمَةِ ٱللهِ أَنَا مَا أَنَا، وَنِعْمَتُهُ ٱلْمُعْطَاةُ لِي لَمْ تَكُنْ بَاطِلَةً، بَلْ أَنَا تَعِبْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعِهِمْ. وَلَكِنْ لَا أَنَا، بَلْ نِعْمَةُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي مَعِي.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

١١ 11 فَسَوَاءٌ أَنَا أَمْ أُولَئِكَ، هَكَذَا نَكْرِزُ وَهَكَذَا آمَنْتُمْ.

Whether then it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you have come to believe.

١٢ 12 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يُكْرَزُ بِهِ أَنَّهُ قَامَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ، فَكَيْفَ يَقُولُ قَوْمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ: «إِنْ لَيْسَ قِيَامَةُ أَمْوَاتٍ»؟

Now if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

١٣ 13 فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قِيَامَةُ أَمْوَاتٍ فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ!

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.

١٤ 14 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ، فَبَاطِلَةٌ كِرَازَتُنَا وَبَاطِلٌ أَيْضًا إِيمَانُكُمْ،

And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain.

١٥ 15 وَنُوجَدُ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا شُهُودَ زُورٍ لِلهِ، لِأَنَّنَا شَهِدْنَا مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱللهِ أَنَّهُ أَقَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ وَهُوَ لَمْ يُقِمْهُ، إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَوْتَى لَا يَقُومُونَ.

We are even found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if indeed the dead are not raised.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَوْتَى لَا يَقُومُونَ، فَلَا يَكُونُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ.

For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised.

١٧ 17 وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلْمَسِيحُ قَدْ قَامَ، فَبَاطِلٌ إِيمَانُكُمْ. أَنْتُمْ بَعْدُ فِي خَطَايَاكُمْ!

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

١٨ 18 إِذًا ٱلَّذِينَ رَقَدُوا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَيْضًا هَلَكُوا!

Furthermore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.

١٩ 19 إِنْ كَانَ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فَقَطْ رَجَاءٌ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ، فَإِنَّنَا أَشْقَى جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

٢٠ 20 وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ قَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ وَصَارَ بَاكُورَةَ ٱلرَّاقِدِينَ.

But as it is, Christ has been raised from the dead; he has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

٢١ 21 فَإِنَّهُ إِذِ ٱلْمَوْتُ بِإِنْسَانٍ، بِإِنْسَانٍ أَيْضًا قِيَامَةُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا فِي آدَمَ يَمُوتُ ٱلْجَمِيعُ، هَكَذَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ سَيُحْيَا ٱلْجَمِيعُ.

For just as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.

٢٣ 23 وَلَكِنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ فِي رُتْبَتِهِ: ٱلْمَسِيحُ بَاكُورَةٌ، ثُمَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لِلْمَسِيحِ فِي مَجِيئِهِ.

But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ.

٢٤ 24 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلنِّهَايَةُ، مَتَى سَلَّمَ ٱلْمُلْكَ لِلهِ ٱلْآبِ، مَتَى أَبْطَلَ كُلَّ رِيَاسَةٍ وَكُلَّ سُلْطَانٍ وَكُلَّ قُوَّةٍ.

Then comes the end, when he hands the kingdom over to God the Father, after he has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

٢٥ 25 لِأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ يَمْلِكَ حَتَّى «يَضَعَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأَعْدَاءِ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ».

For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

٢٦ 26 آخِرُ عَدُوٍّ يُبْطَلُ هُوَ ٱلْمَوْتُ.

The last enemy to be abolished is death.

٢٧ 27 لِأَنَّهُ أَخْضَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ. وَلَكِنْ حِينَمَا يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قَدْ أُخْضِعَ» فَوَاضِحٌ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ ٱلَّذِي أَخْضَعَ لَهُ ٱلْكُلَّ.

For God “has put everything in subjection under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything has been put in subjection,” it is evident that it does not include God himself, who put everything in subjection to Christ.

٢٨ 28 وَمَتَى أُخْضِعَ لَهُ ٱلْكُلُّ، فَحِينَئِذٍ ٱلِٱبْنُ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضًا سَيَخْضَعُ لِلَّذِي أَخْضَعَ لَهُ ٱلْكُلَّ، كَيْ يَكُونَ ٱللهُ ٱلْكُلَّ فِي ٱلْكُلِّ.

Now when everything has been subjected to him, the Son himself will also be subjected to him who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

٢٩ 29 وَإِلَّا فَمَاذَا يَصْنَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْتَمِدُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ لَا يَقُومُونَ ٱلْبَتَّةَ، فَلِمَاذَا يَعْتَمِدُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ؟

Otherwise, what are people doing when they get baptized for the dead? If the dead are not actually raised, why are people getting baptized for them?

٣٠ 30 وَلِمَاذَا نُخَاطِرُ نَحْنُ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ؟

And why do we put ourselves in danger every hour?

٣١ 31 إِنِّي بِٱفْتِخَارِكُمُ ٱلَّذِي لِي فِي يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ رَبِّنَا، أَمُوتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ.

I die daily! Yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

٣٢ 32 إِنْ كُنْتُ كَإِنْسَانٍ قَدْ حَارَبْتُ وُحُوشًا فِي أَفَسُسَ، فَمَا ٱلْمَنْفَعَةُ لِي؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ لَا يَقُومُونَ، «فَلْنَأْكُلْ وَنَشْرَبْ لِأَنَّنَا غَدًا نَمُوتُ!».

If I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

٣٣ 33 لَا تَضِلُّوا: «فَإِنَّ ٱلْمُعَاشَرَاتِ ٱلرَّدِيَّةَ تُفْسِدُ ٱلْأَخْلَاقَ ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ».

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”

٣٤ 34 اُصْحُوا لِلْبِرِّ وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا، لِأَنَّ قَوْمًا لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ مَعْرِفَةٌ بِٱللهِ. أَقُولُ ذَلِكَ لِتَخْجِيلِكُمْ!

Come to your senses, as is right, and stop sinning. For there are some who are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.

٣٥ 35 لَكِنْ يَقُولُ قَائِلٌ: «كَيْفَ يُقَامُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ؟ وَبِأَيِّ جِسْمٍ يَأْتُونَ؟».

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?”

٣٦ 36 يَاغَبِيُّ! ٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُهُ لَا يُحْيَا إِنْ لَمْ يَمُتْ.

Fool! What yoʋ sow does not come to life unless it dies.

٣٧ 37 وَٱلَّذِي تَزْرَعُهُ، لَسْتَ تَزْرَعُ ٱلْجِسْمَ ٱلَّذِي سَوْفَ يَصِيرُ، بَلْ حَبَّةً مُجَرَّدَةً، رُبَّمَا مِنْ حِنْطَةٍ أَوْ أَحَدِ ٱلْبَوَاقِي.

And what yoʋ sow is not the body that will be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or some other grain.

٣٨ 38 وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ يُعْطِيهَا جِسْمًا كَمَا أَرَادَ. وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلْبُزُورِ جِسْمَهُ.

But God gives it a body just as he has determined, and he gives to each of the seeds its own body.

٣٩ 39 لَيْسَ كُلُّ جَسَدٍ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا، بَلْ لِلنَّاسِ جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَلِلْبَهَائِمِ جَسَدٌ آخَرُ، وَلِلسَّمَكِ آخَرُ، وَلِلطَّيْرِ آخَرُ.

Not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for fish, and another for birds.

٤٠ 40 وَأَجْسَامٌ سَمَاوِيَّةٌ، وَأَجْسَامٌ أَرْضِيَّةٌ. لَكِنَّ مَجْدَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَجْدَ ٱلْأَرْضِيَّاتِ آخَرُ.

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of heavenly bodies is one kind, and the glory of earthly bodies is another.

٤١ 41 مَجْدُ ٱلشَّمْسِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَجْدُ ٱلْقَمَرِ آخَرُ، وَمَجْدُ ٱلنُّجُومِ آخَرُ. لِأَنَّ نَجْمًا يَمْتَازُ عَنْ نَجْمٍ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ.

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

٤٢ 42 هَكَذَا أَيْضًا قِيَامَةُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ: يُزْرَعُ فِي فَسَادٍ وَيُقَامُ فِي عَدَمِ فَسَادٍ.

So it is with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, but it is raised imperishable.

٤٣ 43 يُزْرَعُ فِي هَوَانٍ وَيُقَامُ فِي مَجْدٍ. يُزْرَعُ فِي ضَعْفٍ وَيُقَامُ فِي قُوَّةٍ.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

٤٤ 44 يُزْرَعُ جِسْمًا حَيَوَانِيًّا وَيُقَامُ جِسْمًا رُوحَانِيًّا. يُوجَدُ جِسْمٌ حَيَوَانِيٌّ وَيُوجَدُ جِسْمٌ رُوحَانِيٌّ.

It is sown as a natural body; it is raised as a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

٤٥ 45 هَكَذَا مَكْتُوبٌ أَيْضًا: «صَارَ آدَمُ، ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ، نَفْسًا حَيَّةً»، وَآدَمُ ٱلْأَخِيرُ رُوحًا مُحْيِيًا.

And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

٤٦ 46 لَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلرُّوحَانِيُّ أَوَّلًا بَلِ ٱلْحَيَوَانِيُّ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱلرُّوحَانِيُّ.

However, the spiritual body is not first, but the natural body, then the spiritual body.

٤٧ 47 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلْأَوَّلُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُرَابِيٌّ. ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلثَّانِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

The first man was from the earth, made of dust; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

٤٨ 48 كَمَا هُوَ ٱلتُّرَابِيُّ هَكَذَا ٱلتُّرَابِيُّونَ أَيْضًا، وَكَمَا هُوَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيُّ هَكَذَا ٱلسَّمَاوِيُّونَ أَيْضًا.

As was the man made of dust, so are those made of dust; and as is the heavenly man, so are those who are heavenly.

٤٩ 49 وَكَمَا لَبِسْنَا صُورَةَ ٱلتُّرَابِيِّ، سَنَلْبَسُ أَيْضًا صُورَةَ ٱلسَّمَاوِيِّ.

Just as we have borne the image of the man made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly man.

٥٠ 50 فَأَقُولُ هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ: إِنَّ لَحْمًا وَدَمًا لَا يَقْدِرَانِ أَنْ يَرِثَا مَلَكُوتَ ٱللهِ، وَلَا يَرِثُ ٱلْفَسَادُ عَدَمَ ٱلْفَسَادِ.

Now I tell you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does what is perishable inherit what is imperishable.

٥١ 51 هُوَذَا سِرٌّ أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ: لَا نَرْقُدُ كُلُّنَا، وَلَكِنَّنَا كُلَّنَا نَتَغَيَّرُ،

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

٥٢ 52 فِي لَحْظَةٍ فِي طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ، عِنْدَ ٱلْبُوقِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ. فَإِنَّهُ سَيُبَوَّقُ، فَيُقَامُ ٱلْأَمْوَاتُ عَدِيمِي فَسَادٍ، وَنَحْنُ نَتَغَيَّرُ.

in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet call. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

٥٣ 53 لِأَنَّ هَذَا ٱلْفَاسِدَ لَابُدَّ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ عَدَمَ فَسَادٍ، وَهَذَا ٱلْمَائِتَ يَلْبَسُ عَدَمَ مَوْتٍ.

For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

٥٤ 54 وَمَتَى لَبِسَ هَذَا ٱلْفَاسِدُ عَدَمَ فَسَادٍ، وَلَبِسَ هَذَا ٱلْمَائِتُ عَدَمَ مَوْتٍ، فَحِينَئِذٍ تَصِيرُ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلْمَكْتُوبَةُ: «ٱبْتُلِعَ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِلَى غَلَبَةٍ».

Now when this perishable body has put on imperishability, and this mortal body has put on immortality, then this saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

٥٥ 55 «أَيْنَ شَوْكَتُكَ يَا مَوْتُ؟ أَيْنَ غَلَبَتُكِ يَا هَاوِيَةُ؟» (Hadēs g86)

“O Death, where is yoʋr sting? O Hades, where is yoʋr victory?” (Hadēs g86)

٥٦ 56 أَمَّا شَوْكَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ فَهِيَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ، وَقُوَّةُ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ هِيَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ.

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

٥٧ 57 وَلَكِنْ شُكْرًا لِلهِ ٱلَّذِي يُعْطِينَا ٱلْغَلَبَةَ بِرَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

But thanks be to God, who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

٥٨ 58 إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، كُونُوا رَاسِخِينَ، غَيْرَ مُتَزَعْزِعِينَ، مُكْثِرِينَ فِي عَمَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ حِينٍ، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّ تَعَبَكُمْ لَيْسَ بَاطِلًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

So then, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
