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.
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and in which 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 keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have 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 to you first of all, that which I also 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 rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 Te phoeiah Kephas, phoeiah hlainit loh a hmuh.
And that he was seen by Cephas, then by 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.
After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.
7 Te phoeiah James loh a hmuh. Te phoeiah caeltueih boeih loh a hmuhuh.
After that he was seen by James; then by all the apostles.
8 A hnukkhueng ah a halhthaih banghui la kai long khaw ka hmuh.
And last of all he was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
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, who am not worthy 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 in 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.
Therefore whether [it was] 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 rose 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, then is Christ not 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 is not raised, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also 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.
And indeed we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in truth the dead rise not.
16 Te dongah aka duek rhoek loh thoo uh pawt koinih Khrih khaw thoo mahpawh.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ 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 is not 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 who have 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 in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 Tedae Khrih tah duek lamloh aka ip rhoek kah thaihcuek la thoo coeng.
But now is Christ raised from the dead, [and] become the first-fruits of them that slept.
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, even so 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 every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward 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 have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down 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 enemies under his feet.
26 Rhal hnukkhueng dueknah te a thup coeng.
The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [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 hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under [him], [it is] manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under 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 shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under 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 will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 Kaimih khaw balae hnin takuem kho ka po uh.
And why stand we 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 your rejoicing 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 have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? 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 communications corrupt good manners.
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 righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God. I speak [this] to your 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 [man] will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come?
36 Hlang ang, nang loh na tuh te duek pawt koinih hing mahpawh.
[Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not vivified 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 that body that shall be, but bare grain; it may be of wheat, or of some other [grain]:
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 as it hath pleased him, and to every seed its own body.
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 [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of fowls.
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. There is a natural body, and there is 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.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam [was made] a vivifying spirit.
46 Tedae Mueihla pum te lamhma pawt tih pumsa phoeiah ni mueihla a om.
However, that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 Hlang lamhma tah diklai laidik lamkah tih hlang pabae tah vaan lamkah ni.
The first man [is] from the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from 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 show you a mystery; We shall not all 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 trumpet; 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.
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 Aw dueknah, nang kah voelpoengnah te melam nim? Aw dueknah nang kah suehling te melam nim. (Hadēs g86)
O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? (Hadēs g86)
56 Te dongah dueknah suehling tah tholhnah ni. Tholhnah kah thaomnah tah olkhueng ni.
The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength 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.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
