1 Khawrin 15
1 Tahae ah Manuca rhoek, nangmih ham olthangthen ka thui te nangmih ham ka phoe coeng. Tekah te na doe uh bal coeng. Tekah olthangthen dongah na pangtung uh bal.
Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,
2 Te lamlong ni na daem uh van. Nangmih taengkah ka phong olka te na tuuk uh atah a hoeihae la na tangnah uh aih bal mahpawh.
by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.
3 A tanglue khuikah ka doe van te nangmih kan doe. Khrih tah cacim dongkah bangla mamih kah tholh kongah a duek te.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 Te phoeiah a up tih cacim vanbangla a thum hnin ah thoo.
and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
5 Te phoeiah Kephas, phoeiah hlainit loh a hmuh.
and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
6 Te phoeiah manuca yanga hlai loh tun a hmuh. Amih khuikah a yet ngai tah tahae due om uh pueng dae hlangvang tah ip uh coeng.
then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
7 Te phoeiah James loh a hmuh. Te phoeiah caeltueih boeih loh a hmuhuh.
then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
8 A hnukkhueng ah a halhthaih banghui la kai long khaw ka hmuh.
and last of all, as to the [child] untimely born, he appeared to me also.
9 Kai tah caeltueih khuikah thaihnoi lamni ka om. Pathen kah hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek dongah, “Anih tah caeltueih ni,” tila duelh n'khue ham a om moenih.
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 Tedae Pathen kah lungvatnah rhangneh ka om bangla ka om. Amah kah lungvatnah tah kai ham a tlongtlai la om pawh. Amih boeih lakah muep ka thakthae cakhaw kamah ah pawt tih kai taengkah aka om Pathen kah lungvatnah long m'patang sak.
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Te dongah kai long khaw amih long khaw ka hoe uh van tih na tangnah uh van.
Whether then [it be] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 Te dongah Khrih tah duek lamkah thoo coeng tila ka hoe atah nangmih khuikah agnen loh balae tih, “Hlang duek thohkoepnah om pawh,” na ti uh.
Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Hlang duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah khaw om pawt koinih Khrih khaw thoo mahpawh.
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:
14 Te phoeiah Khrih thoo pawt koinih kaimih kah olhoe khaw a tlongtlai la om vetih nangmih kah tangnah te khaw a tlongtlai la om ni.
and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.
15 Te phoeiah laithae laidang he khaw Pathen kah bangla m'hmuh uh. Khrih a thoh coeng te Pathen taengkah la m'phong uh. Amah te thoh pawt koinih aka duek rhoek khaw thoo uh van mahpawh.
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.
16 Te dongah aka duek rhoek loh thoo uh pawt koinih Khrih khaw thoo mahpawh.
For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:
17 Khrih khaw thoo pawt koinih nangmih kah tangnah te a honghi la om tih namamih kah tholh khuiah ni na om uh pueng.
and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Te koinih Khrih ah aka ip rhoek khaw poci ni.
Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19 Khrih ah n'ngaiuep uh te tahae kah hingnah bueng ham n'khueh uh koinih hlang boeih lakah lungmasingta la n'om uh coeng.
If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 Tedae Khrih tah duek lamloh aka ip rhoek kah thaihcuek la thoo coeng.
But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.
21 Hlang pakhat lamloh dueknah ha pawk vanbangla hlang pakhat lamloh aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah khaw ha thoeng van.
For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
22 Adam ah boeih a duek uh vanbangla Khrih ah khaw boeih hing uh van ni.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 Tedae pakhat rhip loh amah kah aitlaeng neh om tih Khrih tah thaihcuek la om. Te phoeiah Khrih kah rhoek tah Khrih amah kah a lonah dongah thoo uh ni.
But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.
24 Te phoeikah pa Pathen taengah ram a tloeng vaengah, boeilu boeih, saithainah neh thaomnah boeih a phae vaengah diklai tue bawtnah te om ni.
Then [cometh] the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 Rhal boeih te a kho hmuiah a khueh duela manghai la a om a kuek.
For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26 Rhal hnukkhueng dueknah te a thup coeng.
The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
27 A cungkuem te a kho hmuiah boe a ngai sak coeng. Tedae a cungkuem te boe a ngai coeng tila a thui vaengah a taengla boeih boe aka ngai sak kah a hoep te mingpha coeng.
For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.
28 Tedae anih taengah cungkuem loh a boe a ngai sak vaengah a taengkah boengai boeih te capa amah taengah khaw boe a ngai van ni. Te daengah ni Pathen tah cungkuem dongah cungkuem la a om pai eh.
And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.
29 Te koinih aka duek rhoek yueng la tui aka nuem rhoek loh balae a saii uh eh. Aka duek rhoek te thoo loengloeng pawt koinih balae tih amih yueng la toektoek a nuem uh.
Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
30 Kaimih khaw balae hnin takuem kho ka po uh.
why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 Manuca rhoek, hnin takuem ah ka duek te nangmih taengah hoemdamnah la ka phoei. Te te mamih kah Khrih Jesuh Boeipa dongah ni ka dang.
I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 Hlang vanbangla Ephisa ah ka puet koinih kai ham hoeikhang aya te? Hlang duek rhoek loh a thoh uh pawt atah thangvuen ah n'duek uh ham coeng dongah ca uh sih lamtah o uh sih saw.
If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
33 Nangmih n'rhaithi uh boel saeh. Khoboe kodam he hui thae loh a poeih.
Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
34 A tiktam la sap uh lamtah tholh uh boeh. Hlangvang tah Pathen taengah malkoelh-maldang la na om uh. Nangmih yahpoh sak ham hekah he ka thui coeng.
Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak [this] to move you to shame.
35 Tedae khat khat loh, “Aka duek te koe thoo a? Mebang pum nen lae ha pawk uh eh?” a ti uh ni.
But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?
36 Hlang ang, nang loh na tuh te duek pawt koinih hing mahpawh.
Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:
37 Na tuh te khaw aka lo ham koi pum moenih. Tedae cang ti mai khaw a tloe khat khat kak ni na tuh.
and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;
38 Tedae Pathen loh a ngaih bangla amih taengah a pum te a paek. Cangti te khaw a pum rhip a paek.
but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 Pumsa boeih khaw amah pumsa moenih. Hlang kah pumsa khaw a tloe, boiva kah pumsa khaw a tloe, vaa kah pumsa khaw a tloe, nga kah pumsa khaw a tloe ni.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one [flesh] of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
40 Vaan pum khaw om. Diklai pum khaw om. Tedae vaan kah thangpomnah tah a hloeh, diklai kah khaw a hloeh ni.
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 Khomik kah thangpomnah khaw a tloe, hla kah thangpomnah khaw a tloe, aisi kah thangpomnah khaw a tloe ni. Thangpomnah dongah aisi neh aisi khaw lang.
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 Te vanbangla hlang duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah tah lang van tangloeng. Hmawnnah dongah a tuh tih aka nguel dongah a thoh sak.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 Yahpohnah dongah a tuh te thangpomnah dongah a thoh sak. Vawtthoeknah dongah a tuh te thaomnah dongah a thoh sak.
it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 A coengnah pum la a tuh te mueihla pum la a thoh sak. A coengnah pum te a om atah mueihla pum khaw om.
it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual [body].
45 Adam tah hlang lamhma la ana om tih hinglu la ana hing. Adam hnukkhueng tah aka hing sak mueihla ni tila a daek tangloeng bal ta.
So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit.
46 Tedae Mueihla pum te lamhma pawt tih pumsa phoeiah ni mueihla a om.
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
47 Hlang lamhma tah diklai laidik lamkah tih hlang pabae tah vaan lamkah ni.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
48 Laidik tah laidik bangla om van tangloeng. Vaan tah vaan bangla om van tangloeng.
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 Laidik kah mueimae m'buen uh bangla vaan kah mueimae khaw m'buen uh ni.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Te dongah Manuca rhoek, “Pumsa loh thii loh Pathen kah ram pang thai pawh. Hmawnnah loh aka nguel te pang pawh,” tila ka thui coeng he.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Nangmih taengah olhuep ni ka thui coeng he. Hlang boeih loh n'ip uh mahpawh. Tedae hlang boeih loh thovael uh ni.
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 Setrhuet kah, mik hap tok ah, olueng hnukkhueng vaengah thovael uh ni. Olueng a ueng vaengah aka duek rhoek te aka kuei la thoo uh vetih mamih khaw n'thovael uh ni.
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 Aka hmawn loh aka nguel te bai ham, aka duek thai long he aka nguel bai ham a kuek.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 Tedae hekah aka hmawn loh aka nguel te a bai tih aka duek loh aka nguel te a bai vaengah, “Dueknah tah voelpoengnah neh a dolh coeng,” tila a daek olka te soep van ni.
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 Aw dueknah, nang kah voelpoengnah te melam nim? Aw dueknah nang kah suehling te melam nim. (Hadēs g86)
O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? (Hadēs g86)
56 Te dongah dueknah suehling tah tholhnah ni. Tholhnah kah thaomnah tah olkhueng ni.
The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
57 Tedae mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih lamloh voelpoengnah mamih aka pae Pathen te ka lungvatnah.
but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Te dongah ka manuca thintlo rhoek tah cakrhuet la khak om uh. Boeipa kah bibi dongah baecoih yoeyah uh. Na thakthaenah tah Boeipa dongah a tlongtlai a om moenih tila ming uh.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
