1 Korintuh 15

1 Ka püie aw, Thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh ning jah ksingsak be veng, acuna Thangkdaw dokham u lü, nami jumnak acuna khana angkhänga ngdüiki.

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 Ka ngthu sang cän nami jum sawxatkia am kya lü, nami läklam kcangkia akyak üng, acun bä üng küikyana nami kyaki.

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 Ka yah nami veia ka ning jah peki, acun cun sayü lü däm säihki ni, Khritaw cun mi mkhyekata phäh thiki tia Cangcim üng ng’yuki,

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 ani cun ami k’ut, amhnüp kthum üng tho law beki tia Cangcim üng ng’yuki ni.

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

5 Pita veia ngdang law lü, acun käna xaleinghngihea veia ngdangki.

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

6 Acun käna bena, phyamhmaa kthaka nungki veia ngdang lawki, khawhah cun tuhkbäih veia xüng hamkie, avange cun thi pängkie ni.

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

7 Acun käna Jakuka veia ngdangki, acun käna ngsä he naküta veia ngdangki.

After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

8 Ak’hnu säiha, keia vei pi ngdang lawki, kei cun am kha se hmi lawkia mäih ni ka law ta.

And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

9 Kei cun ngsä he ksunga ka dik säihki, Pamhnama sangcime ka jah mkhuimkhakia kyase, ngsäa pi am ka nglawi kyawki va.

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Assembly of God.

10 Cunsepi, Pamhnama bäkhäknak am ahikba ka kyaki; a bäkhäknak amdanga a na pet cun ni, ngsä kcea kthaka ktha na bawk lü ka khüikhawmki. Acukba ka kthanak bawk cun kamäta kthanaka am kya, Pamhnama bäkhäknak naw kei üng khut pawhki.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

11 Acukba ani üng, keia khyüh kyase, amimia khyüh pi kyase, ahin kung kami pyenki, nangmi naw pi ahin kung nami jumki.

Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

12 Atuha kami ngthu cun Khritaw thihnak üngkhyüh thobeki tia kyase, ise nangmi üng avange naw, “Khyang kthia thawhnak be am ve,” nami tiki ni?

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

13 Khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng Khritaw pi am tho law be khai sü;

But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:

14 acunüng, Khritaw tho law bekia am akyak üng kami ngthu sang amdanga kya lü nami jumnak pi amdanga kya khai ni.

And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

15 Acunüng, Pamhnam hleikia mi mdankia ni akya, isetiakyaküng, Khritaw cun Pamhnam naw mtho beki mi tia phäh ni, ahin akcang ta thikie sak xünnaka am tho be u. Pamhnam naw pi Khritaw am mtho be.

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

16 Khyang kthie, am ami thawh law be üng Khritaw pi am tho law be;

For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

17 acunüng, Khritaw am a thawh law be ham üng nami jumnak pi amdanga kya lü nami mkhyekatnak üng khyük lü nami thi hamkie ni.

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

18 Acukba akyak üng Khritaw üng thi pängkiea jumeikie pi khyük khaie ni.

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

19 Tuhkbäih mi xün k'um däk üng Khritawa khana äpeinak mi ta lü akcea saka phäh am akyak üng khawmdeka veki khyange kthaka jah mpyeneinak yahei bawk khaia mi nglawiki.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

20 Acunsepi, Khritaw cun thihnak üngka naw tho law be kcang lü, ipkie pi tholaw be khaie tia msingnak ni.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21 Nghngicim khyanga phäha thihnak a ve lawa mäiha, nghngicim khyanga phäh kunga khyang kthia thawh lawnak be ve lawki.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22 Adam üng khyang naküt ami thiha kba Khritaw üng khyang naküt tho be khai.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23 Acunsepi, khyang mat cim ami kcün üng tho khaie; Khritaw cun akcüka tho be khai. Acun käna Khritawa law be üng ani taki tho law be khaie.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

24 Acun käna apäihnak pha law khai; Khritaw naw ngmüimkhya upkie, anae, johite naküt a jah näng lawpäng üng Khritaw naw khyawngpe cun Pamhnam üng ap law khai.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 A yee naküt a khaw kunga am a jah tak hama küt üng, Khritaw naw jah up yah kung khai.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 Ak’hnu säiha ye näng vai cun thihnak kyaki.

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 “Pamhnam naw avan ania khaw kea tak khai,” tia Cangcim naw pyenki. “Avan naküt tak khai” tinak üng Pamhnam amät am ngpüi, Khritawa khaw kea avan takia Pamhnam a ngpüi.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 Acunüng, avan naküt Khritawa upnaka kea taka akya lawpäng üng, Cakpa amät kung Pamhnama kea ve khai acuna Pamhnam naw avan ania kea taki cun naw avan up khai.

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

29 Atuh, khyang kthia thawhnak be am a ve üng, i ja amimi naw yah vai ami äpei. Khyang kthia phäha baptican khankie ihawkba kya khaie. Thikiea phäha ivai baptican khankie ni.

Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

30 Ise mimi pi anglät se kyühkse da akcün tä mi dawngki ni?

And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

31 Ka püie, amhnüp tä thihnak ka sawngki! Khritaw Jesuh mi Bawipa üng ka ning jah awhcahnak pyen lü, “Kei, a mhnüp tä se ka thiki” ka ti ni.

I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

32 Nghngicima ngjakhlüa mäih düta Ephet mlüh üng “Sa kyung he” ka jah ngtunpüi vai sü üng i ka ngmang na khai ni? Khyang kthiea thawhnak be am ve khaia akyak üng, “Mi ei lü mi aw be vai u, khawngawi mi thi täng khai” mi ti hlü ye se.

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

33 Käh yu ua. Am dawkia püipaw naw vecawh kpyaki.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

34 Ngsunpyunnak üng law be u lü, mkhyekatnak hawih ua. Avang naw Pamhnam am ami ksing hin na ngkeei vaia kei naw pyen veng.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

35 Mat mat naw, “Khyang kthie cun ihawkba tholaw be khaie ni? Ia mäia pumsa na khaie ni?” ti lü ngthäh khai.

But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

36 Nang khyang k’ang, namät naw na sawa mci cun am a thih üng am cawt law be;

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

37 Acunüng, na saw cän pumsaa ve khaia am na saw khawiki, a mci va na saw khawiki, cang mcia pi kyase mci kcea pi kyase mci däk va na sawki. Adäm pänga apung am nglingki. Akäna va däm law khai.

And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

38 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw a mäta ngjakhlüa pumsa jah peki, mci naküta veia ami mäta pumsa phäh phäh jah peki.

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

39 Pumsa naküt am täng; nghngicima pumsa mjü at, khisa pumsa mjü at, khaa pumsa mjü at, ngaa pumsa mjü ata kyaki.

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

40 Khankhaw pumsae ve u lü, khawmdek pumsae pi vekie; acunsepi khankhaw pumsaa hlüngtainak hnga lü, khawmdek pumsaa hlüngtainak pi hngaki.

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 Nghngia hlüngtainak akce, khyaa hlüngtainak akce, aisiea hlüngtainak akce; aisi jah aisi pi ani hlüngtainak am täng ni.

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

42 Khyang kthia thawhnak be pi acukba kyaki. Yawk k’uh üng thu lü, a thawh law be üng am thi thei.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 K’ut üng am daw lü seki, mthawh be üng ngto lü daw khai.

It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 K’ut üng mtisa pumsaa kya lü; mthawh be üng ngmüimkya pumsaa kya khai. Khawmdek pumsa vekia kyase Ngmüimkhya pumsa pi ve khai.

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

45 Cangcim naw, “Nghngicim kcük Adam cun khyang xünga mhnünmcenga kyaki”; a tia kyase, Adam anghnu cun xünnak Ngmüimkhya jah peki kyaki.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Ngmüimkhya lam cun ve law makia am kya, pumsa lam ve law ma lü acun käna Ngmüimkhya lam ve lawki.

Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 Nghngicim akcük cun khawmdek üngkhyüh mhnünmcenga kya lü; anghngihnaka nghngicim cun khankhawa kaa kyaki.

The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 Khawmdek üng mhnünmcenga khyange cun khawmdek khyangea mäih law u se; khankhaw üngka khyange cun khankhaw üngka naw lawki hea mäih lawki he.

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 Acunüng, khawmdek üng mhnünmceng khyanga müia mäih mi müinaka mäiha, khankhaw khyanga müihmai pi mi müihmai na khai.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Ka püie aw, pumsa jah thisen Pamhnama pea am ve thei; thi theiki naw am thi theiki cun am yah tia ning jah mtheh veng.

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Ngthupki ning jah mtheh vang; mi van mi ip khaia am kya.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 Acunsepi, ak’hnu säiha kpun a ng'yüng law üng, asängca üng, mik mkhyüpca üng, mi van mi hngalangei law khai. Kpun a ng'yüng law üng thi pängkie cun am pyawih theikia tho law be u se; mimi, mi na vekie pi mi hngalang law khai.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 Tuhkbäih hina pyawih theiki am pyawih theikia nglat law lü, tuhkbäih hina thi theiki käh thi theikia nglat law khai.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 Hina thi theiki hin am thi theikia a nglat law üng, “Thihnak cun mkhyüh lü nängnak cun küm law khai” tia Cangcim cun küm law khai.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 “Thihnak aw, na ngnängnak, hawa ni a ve. Aw thihnak aw, na jah kphyaknak vai johit hawa ni a ve?” (Hadēs g86)

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (Hadēs g86)

56 Thihnaka naw johit cun mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh yahki; mkhyekatnaka khyaihnak cun thuma kyaki.

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 Acunsepi, mi Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw üng ngnängnak jah pekia Pamhnama veia jenak ve se.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Acunakyase, ka mhläkphyanaka ka püie aw, khängkia ngdüi ua. Bawipa khutbi ktha na kcang u lü bi ua, Bawipa khutbi nami bi hin am danga am kya tia nami ksingki.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
